Review from A M (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 October 2022 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum and dad went into St Ronans at the beginning of lockdown, and despite this being a terrible time for all, the management and staff provided a safe environment for them while caring for their every need while maintaining a professional manner. They also kept us up to date with any relevant changes
to their well-being and any Covid related problems. Overall, I would recommend their professional and personal care.

My mum has been in St Ronans for just over a week. I feel this place is very safe for my mum. It is spotlessly clean, the staff are fantastic and meet all my mum's needs.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Excellent care.
Mother was treated as an individual.
Staff all very caring and treated mother with respect and dignity.
All staff (cleaners, laundry staff, kitchen staff etc) knew my mum and spoke to her.
Everyone was very approachable and informative with family.
At times going over and above
'the call of duty'.
Bright, pleasant and clean surroundings.

Review from S M (Friend of Resident) published on 22 November 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
Need cold drinks in rooms lack of toilet paper, paper towels and clean towels. Bin broken, chipped mugs. Lack of fruit and foods like meat and olive oil should ask residents what foods they like its the same menus every week. Sticky floors smell of urine. Clothing mix up for residents sometimes left
in dirty clothing, not enough stimulations games, cards, dominoes etc. Tiny plates of food not very tasty food, cheapest of drinks Lemonade etc lady likes other fizzy drinks. Resident left for long periods of time without interaction from the staff, lack of stimulation staff kissing residents one minute and ignoring them the next, bit over the top, bedding horrible.

Since mum has become a resident here, I am very happy with the care and support mum receives. Staff are very approachable if there are any concerns. Staff carry out their duties in a very professional and caring manner. Residents are very well looked after and everyone is treated with dignity and respect.
Knowing that mum is safe and comfortable is a great comfort to myself. The care home is bright and cheery, and there is always activities ongoing and parties.

Review from Catherine W (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 February 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When it came time to do this for mum, we looked at 10 care homes and as a family decided unanimously that the best place we had seen was St Ronan's. The whole experience when viewing, meeting staff and other residents filled us with hope during a very difficult time and a very difficult decision. We
were lucky enough to finally be offered a place for mum, we were delighted and relieved.
The staff have been absolutely amazing: helping mum settle, encouraging and kind. Every one of them is professional and they quickly got to know mum and what her needs were. Their interaction with the family has been open, honest and non-judgemental. We know that we can talk to any of them and they will address any issues that we have or direct us to someone who can.
St Ronan's standards are very high - the building itself is spacious, clean and welcoming - the food is nutritious, served hot and menus are varied - the laundry is excellent. This is my mum's home and I am very proud to say that.

I am so grateful to all the staff who are taking great care of my Mother's wellbeing. They are all so fantastic. Not only for my Mother's welfare but have helped our family and guided us in the right direction i.e. Medical appointments, paperwork, hygiene and the care and attention for Mum.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.605)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.605) out of 10 for St Ronans Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 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 4.605 for St Ronans Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (116 Excellents x 5) + (53 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 177 Ratings = 4.605
  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 St Ronans 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 67 registered maximum number of service users is 13.4, 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.
