My mum entered the home on 19th June 2025 and she has settled in well. Everyone made her so welcome! She now enjoys showing her visitors around and tells them how well she is looked after.
She does miss her church and I don't think she's been able to access the service on the TV?
Overall I'm very
pleased with the care that my mum is receiving.
Reply from Elaine Wilson, Home Manager at Liberton Brae

Many thanks for taking the time to send a review. Much appreciated. We are pleased to hear that your mum is settling in and starting to feel at home. Will make sure that the staff remind her when the monthly in-house church service is taking place. There is also a weekly service live stream in the lounge or staff can arrange a private viewing in her room.

We love the warm welcome we receive every time we visit.All staff cleaners,caterers, carers ,activity coordinators ,nursing staff and especially the Care Home Manager are all friendly and approachable. We are regulars in Bobbys Bistro and the Snoozy Snug and have had the opportunity to celebrate many
a happy family occasion in the upstairs dining area.Mum enjoys being pampered in the on site hairdressing salon .
Communications are strong and staff are always willing to listen ,we particularly enjoy regular updates on social media for when we aren't around ,and ,hearing all the latest news via regular newsletters.
We feel Mum needs are met in all areas and are delighted she feels secure and contented.

My only concern is Bobbys Bar cleanliness could be improved. The tables and floor could be cleaner (more regular) lack of cleaning fluids and clean dish towels. Otherwise, this is a fantastic facility within the home which we use most days.
Reply from Elaine Wilson, Home Manager at Liberton Brae

Many thanks for your feedback. Its much appreciated as it really helps us to improve and make the home a more comfortable place for our residents . We have discussed your comment about cleanliness in the bistro with the team and from yesterday we increased the number of times that our domestic team will clean this area. I hope that this will help. As you are aware Bobby's Bistro is self manned but we try to have a staff member assisting there for part of each day who will make sure that the tables/bistro are kept clean. The domestic team will leave out more dish towels however we cannot leave out cleaning products for health and safety reasons.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident since the home opened and we have found the care to be exemplary. Mum is well known by the staff for her views about world affairs and music and they all seem to know her well. Mum has COPD and the staff are very knowledgable about her treatment and have undertaken extra
training to deal with oxygen requirements when unwell.
We are always greeted on arrival and kept up to date with what is happening with Mum. Mum used to take part in some of the activities but is now less able but enjoys the chats she has.
It was recently Mum's 90th birthday and she had a great time. We took her out for lunch and the Care Home arranged a wheelchair taxi for us to take her down to the restaurant.
We are very pleased with the care and facilities in Liberton Brae and highly recommend the home.

My Mum has been a resident of Liberton Brae since October 2024, and as a family we can't praise highly enough the care and attention she has received there.
Mum has flourished in her new surroundings and thoroughly enjoys joining in with all the activities the entertainment team provides.
On sunny
days we've been able to enjoy sitting out on the roof terrace as Mum loves the fresh air, but on colder days The Bistro is a lovely environment to spend our family visits.
From the minute you walk through the front door you're made to feel welcome, and we can't thank all the staff enough for giving us peace of mind knowing Mum is safe and happy and being so well cared for.

My mother has been a resident at Liberton Care Home since Jan 2025. The standard of care is extremely good and the modern spacious rooms are very pleasant and comfortable. The staff are very approachable and supportive not only to our mother but the whole family. I feel like we work together with
one goal to support our mum.
The activities team work very hard to keep residents moving and having fun as much as is possible.
I would definitely recommend Liberton Care Home as a caring, comfortable place for people to live or have respite care.
The home is very clean and mums rooms is spacious, always fresh with a beautiful outlook over the city.

I wanted to review this care home as I feel it deserves a positive review. The staff are amazing and very attentive to the residents. The place is spotless and welcoming. The residents are out of bed every day and have access to emergency buzzers, in my experience this is not always the case.

My father moved here a couple of months ago and I have nothing negative to say at all about Liberton Care Home. The staff are professional, kind and caring and helped settle my Dad in. Nothing is a problem and they go out of their way to make sure my Dad is cared for and happy. I have found all staff,

My niece was admitted to Liberton Care Home due to her previous care accommodation closing. She has settled into her new beautiful accommodation with ease. The staff from domestic, care and nursing have made her feel so welcome and appear to meet her every need. She has a busy schedule and again this
is thanks to the staff who interact constantly with the residents and encourage them to use all the activities and many communal areas on offer. It is a great relief to the family to see her so comfortable and cared for.

We were over for a visit to see our friend.
Liberton Brae is a lovely home with beautiful furnishings so clean and inviting for visitors. We came across from Fife to see her and there was an afternoon singalong with a lady singer and tombola as well. We thoroughly enjoyed singing along with everyone.
Just

Our Mum was a resident at Liberton Brae from June 2023 till she sadly died on 20 January 2024. From the start the care and devotion of the staff was exemplary, they went above and beyond at every opportunity to enhance Mum's quality of life and happiness. The rooms are fantastic bright and beautifully
decorated and furnished. There are lots of activities and everyone is encouraged to make the most of every day. The food is also brilliant and the chef would frequently make something especially for Mum to encourage her to eat. We viewed 20 care homes in the city before we visited Liberton Brae and it was by far the best. When it came to end-of-life care my sister and I were treated with such compassion and everything possible was done for Mum so she passed peacefully and with dignity. The staff had become like an extended family and some came to the funeral. This is a genuinely caring and lovely home in a gorgeous building. I could not recommend highly enough.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.856)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.856) out of 10 for Liberton Brae is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.856 for Liberton Brae is calculated as follows: ( (267 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 305 Ratings = 4.856
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Liberton Brae is based on 26 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 26 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
