The level of care that my aunt is provided with is second to none. The facilities are great but more importantly, the staff are amazing. The staff are so attentive to my aunts needs. The staff are very friendly and professional. The events are brilliant too. Recently the home had arranged a summer fayre.
My aunt had such a lovely time on such a summer day. I can't thank them enough for their care and support.

My brother in law received excellent care and attention before he recently passed away at Cumbrae House after spending a year there. My husband is grateful for the way his brother was looked after in his final stage of life. The Manager has been extremely helpful since my brother in law's death. She
has helped us by guiding us through the various processes as well as offering practical help in person, by email or phone, as we live in a different part of the country. All the staff we met have also been very friendly.

My husband arrived in Cumbrae House late September 2024. He had been suffering from dementia and delirium due to infection after an accident for almost five months. He was scared, disorientated and very unhappy. After some months and with the help of the amazing staff in Cumbrae House, he has not only
settled down but has also shown a huge improvement in his cognitive abilities. He has been cared for and encouraged to integrate by every member of staff be they cleaners, medical, carers or management. My family are delighted by his progress and thankful to this care home.

My cousin has been in Cumbrae since suffering a severe stroke. On visiting each week the staff are pleasant and cheerful. She is well cared for. She is up and dressed and taken to the day room even although this is quite a task for staff due to her disability.
The home is clean and her room is
bright and sunny (when it shines)!!
We even get to shine our shoes each week with a handy shoe shine machine in reception!! Thanks for all your care. Much appreciated.

My sister has been a resident of Cumbrae House for nearly four years now after suffering a severely disabling stroke. Due to the dedicated professional care and support provided by the manager and her staff my sister has achieved a quality of life well beyond my expectations. This means that the support
extends beyond the resident to family and friends who are aware that she enjoys comfort and dignity in her surroundings.

Moved mum in to Cumbrae house three weeks ago having visited numerous other care homes in the west end of Glasgow trying to find the best fit for my mum who has advanced Alzheimer's. Felt confident because of the professionalism and empathy of the manager, Karen, and subsequently every staff member
I have engaged with has impressed me. I am an experienced nursing professional with a background in health care standards so am very critical and observant of health care establishments and so far I have been very pleased with my mums care. All of the staff are kind, caring and alert to mums needs. I shall continue to post reviews - but so far I am very happy with the care provided by Cumbrae House.

I would highly recommend Cumbrae House Care home for the helpful staff who provide a high level of care but go the extra mile ensuring the residents feel part of the community and encouraging them to take part in the activities provided. I have also witnessed the senior staff spend time with the residents
encouraging them to mix with newer residents helping them settle in and feel part of the Care Home community. This provides relatives with the reassurance that their loved ones feel safe and are cared for as individuals.

I was told to contact the owner in regards to the passing of my aunt who was a resident there. When arrived at the home. We were met by staff who were very polite. The home itself was spotless, very neat and tidy. When we met the owner she was very polite and was able to tell me some of the stories
regarding my aunt and the antics that she would get up to with members of staff who helped look after her. We asked the owner if it would be possible to see how big the room was that my aunt's but as another resident had moved into that room, she showed us another room that had the same layout as my aunt's. The room was spacious clean tidy and very homely.

My Mum moved into Cumbrae House straight from the hospital. This was intended to be a short temporary placement until our preferred home became available. Immediately we felt at home. From the manager to admin staff, carers, domestics, and entertainment coordinators we were shown compassion, care, and
professionalism at this very emotional time for my mum and my family. We had Mum's 6-week review and were so impressed by the care we agreed my mum's stay should be permanent. In a few months, my Mum seemed to settle in and was less anxious, well looked after, and safe. We could go home knowing she was being cared for well. She was encouraged to join in with the numerous activities available from Valentine’s Day, bingo, and summer fete. Her medical care was coordinated with the nursing staff and a local GP and any changes in my Mum’s condition were acted upon quickly. The care and compassion shown at her end-of-life care will never be forgotten. Thank you.

Cumbrae house was welcoming from the outset. During very difficult circumstances my dad and the family were fully informed and supported. The staff were available and always happy to discuss dad's progress and care. They planned care well as his needs changed during his stay. He was a challenging resident
with varying needs which were addressed with understanding and compassion. Pleased to see the same staff throughout his stay. All staff members from the manager, nurses, carers, housekeeping, domestics and admin staff were kind and considerate. They were friendly and always made you feel welcome. A busy environment they showed patience even during very difficult circumstances. Dad received residential, nursing and palliative care from staff who really did care. Thank you to you all just does not seem enough.

My mum went to Cumbrae house for a week's respite. I took my mum the week before for a visit to see the place we were both very impressed with how lovely and clean the place was and the manager was very helpful. Mum's week was great she has told everybody who comes into the house she enjoyed her time
there, an absolute bonus I was so happy and I didn't worry about her when I was on holiday it's a great wee place. The staff are all brilliant from cleaners, to carers and management I would thoroughly recommend this home. Thanks to the manager for keeping this well organised and run and the manager also organised Mum to have her papers every morning as she loves her papers. Hopefully, next holiday I go I will be asking for Mum to go here for respite. Thanks.

Cumbrae House staff have been so supportive and caring towards my Gran since becoming a resident in 2019. We can tell that Gran was comfortable and happy living in Cumbrae House. I know that the staff did everything they could to make it a happy and pleasant experience for her. The staff were really
interested in Grans likes and dislikes and went out of their way to provide experiences that she would enjoy. The care home Manager has made everything easier and is always happy to answer questions. The staff nurse is such a lovely caring person and we can tell that she actually really cared for Gran. It's clear this is more than a job for her. All the staff are friendly and so lovely to their residents. Even the cleaning staff made an effort to be kind to residents and I know all the staff went out of their way to make Gran happy.
I'm so glad that Gran was in such a loving and caring environment for the last few years of her life. Thank you for everything you have done for us.

My mum was admitted to Cumbrae House late this year and the staff couldn’t have been any more helpful and sympathetic to the situation our family found ourselves in unexpectedly.
Everyone went above and beyond to help her settle in and keep us updated.
I would definitely recommend it to anyone considering
a care home.

I lost my dad quite suddenly in November, my mum has Alzheimer’s and although she had daily home care visits he looked after her.
I had to very quickly arrange for Mum to be looked after which was a difficult decision to make in the midst of planning Dad’s funeral.
After reviewing the care facilities
in our area we arrived at Cumbrae House where we met the home manager, her honesty, guidance and help will forever be a debt that I cannot possibly pay.
My mum is now being looked after in Cumbrae House by the most amazing people, her room is just like home.
From the staff who go the extra mile to the great events that they host for the residents, the manager and the team just keep surprising me with how much care they deliver to every resident.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When tasked with finding suitable nursing care for our brother (who is only 66) we knew it wasn't going to be easy. We started with a long list, and every day the list became shorter and the task harder, as we crossed names off one by one.
When we arrived at Cumbrae House Care Home, we felt something
a little different. When we left we booked a return visit with our brother. When we left the second time we threw away the list.
From those initial first impressions, till today (our brother's 4-week review), we've encountered excellence on every level. We're super impressed with the professional, compassionate and friendly nursing care.
Our brother is settled, cared for and is absolutely thriving on the attention he receives at Cumbrae House. The Manager impressed us on day one, and now on day 28, we can honestly say from our own experiences and our brother's, that we made the right decision. Our expectations are exceeded and all worries are put to bed. Thank you, thank you and thank you again.

Cumbrae House Care Home has been such a kind, caring, loving place for my dad. The management is top quality, the nursing staff are outstanding and can't do enough for my dad, they are so friendly and I've got to know them well even by first name terms. Nothing is ever an effort for them and the home
puts on different little activities like putting some music on for the residents and encouraging them to have a sing along or even trying their hand at some artwork. The food is excellent and very nutritious.
It is so lovely to see a smile on my dad's face again and that's all down to Cumbrae House.
The rooms are lovely and gives the residents a sense of dignity, always clean and tidy.
My dad has made friends there which I love to see. A massive thank you to all the management and staff at Cumbrae House.

Most of the staff are okay, the management is useless. After asking them to call an ambulance repeatedly for my mother who had had a fall and couldn't move her legs, they advised me to come up the next day and take her for an x-ray myself. She had damaged her hip. Useless people.

Since our mother first entered Cumbrae House Care Home, the staff have always encouraged her to be as self-sufficient as possible, but as her health deteriorated, the staff took fantastic care of her; nothing was ever too much trouble for them and she was always treated with dignity and respect.
We
were never made to feel like we were intruding during the Covid-19 lockdown, no matter how many times we called or FacedTime'd. The staff were always willing to talk to us and inquire about our well-being.
Everyone made us feel so welcome in a great homely atmosphere. The staff took exceptional care of our mum, always willing to go the extra mile. The manager took time out of her busy schedule to say hello every time we visited and everyone made us feel so welcome in a lovely homely setting.
We will never be able to express our gratitude to the staff enough for making Mum's final days so serene and pleasant.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.978)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.978) out of 10 for Cumbrae House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.978 for Cumbrae House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (176 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.978
  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 Cumbrae House Care Home is based on 15 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 15 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.
