The care home is a nice new building and kept in good repair. Internally it has a nice warm feel with nice decor. It is kept immaculately clean. Rooms are of a good standard. Staff are very accommodating and responsive to any requests. Covid rules are very well organised and I have faith in these. Zoom
calling works very well and is a source of comfort when I cannot visit every day.

Reply from Julie McNaughton, Manager at Haddington Care Home

Many thanks for the kind comments about the home and these are much appreciated and we are glad that you are happy with the standard of care received. We always strive to ensure that all residents are treated with dignity and respect and wellbeing is promoted at all times.

My mother has been a resident at Haddington Care Home for 2 years or more. The support given has been excellent. She is happy and content - which gives me a great deal of comfort. I rate the experience so highly that I encouraged another elderly relative to move there at the beginning of this year.
An important factor is their ability to retain staff. While they have kept a core of staff it is evident that it was difficult to attract new staff. It is so important that the government improve their provision to allow staff connections to be improved.

Many thanks for your kind feedback and we are glad that you are happy with your mum's care. We endeavour to ensure that we provide the highest standard of care at all times with dignity and respect.

Our mum has been a resident for almost 3 years, one of the first resident's, I cannot express enough our deep-felt thanks to each and every member of the team who care for her. From the minute we had a tour of your care home we knew it was the place for Mum. Apart from being extremely well looked after
we also feel looked after by your wonderful team, always there with a friendly smile or shoulder to cry on if needed. The home is bright and spacious and feels like a well-run family-friendly small hotel, Mum has a beautiful spotlessly clean en-suite bedroom overlooking playing fields and treated with dignity and respect whilst living with dementia. I'd have absolutely no hesitation recommending Haddington Care Home for anyone thinking on the unthinkable that you will one day have to trust your loved one with somewhere safe, comfortable, warm and friendly to be professionally cared for when their own home is no longer an option. Well done team Haddington you are all angels.

Reply from Julie McNaughton, Manager at Haddington Care Home

Many thanks for your review and lovely comments. It is a pleasure to have your mum stay with us at Haddington care home. We strive to provide the highest standard of care at all times ensuring that dignity and respect are at the forefront of all that we do.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My dad has been a resident in Haddington Care Home for 18 months. He settled in well enjoying the beautifully furnished/decorated home and secure garden/terrace. He was lucky enough to be given a room overlooking the playing fields giving him a lovely view. His room, bedding and en-suite toilet/shower
room are always immaculate as is every other area.
My dad is very well cared for, he is always clean and tidy, the carers take time on a one to one basis getting to know each resident and their needs. I have been phoned when dad was off his food discussing options to try where kitchen staff have made meals out of the normal menus and also carers going out their way to make sure he had high-calorie options available (trifle) which always goes down well!
Dad recently spent a short time in hospital, I was very impressed with how everything was managed. The staff ensured he had everything he needed and kept me informed every step of the way. I highly recommend Haddington Care Home and the wonderful team.

Reply from Julie McNaughton, Manager at Haddington Care Home

Many thanks for the review and the positive comments about the care which your dad receives. We always strive to ensure that every resident receives the highest standard of care and support.

My relative has been in Haddington Care Home for a few months now. My first impressions of visiting the home prior to her admission were extremely favourable. It looked like a comfortable small hotel, beautifully furnished and decorated. All staff were welcoming and friendly as well as efficient. This
allayed any apprehension on my relatives part. Since admission, she has been very well and respectfully cared for by all staff and she considers them as friends. Staff keeps us well informed as well as conveying a caring attitude towards my relative. It is such a comfort to my sister and I to know she is such excellent hands. I would definitely recommend this lovely facility to anyone whose relative requires care. All members of the teamwork very cohesively in delivering a high level of care. It's like a family.

Reply from Julie McNaughton, Manager at Haddington Care Home

Both my parents are in Haddington Care Home. It has been very difficult because of the circumstances just now but the staff have made sure that they have done everything in their power to keep residents safe and they have done this fantastically.
It is upsetting for my parents not seeing all their
family because of the restrictions, but the staff have done so much to support my parents and tried to make them understand what is happening just now which is very difficult trying to explain this to them as they both have dementia.
They have also given all the family great support keeping us informed about everything that has been happening and if we need some reassurance there is always someone on the other end of the phone that we can talk to.
We are getting to have garden visits just know which has helped. It is set up very well and I feel that my parents are very safe doing this.
I also would like to say that every member of staff is a great support and it’s a fantastic team in the home

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.691)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.691) out of 10 for Haddington Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.882 for Haddington Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (114 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 127 Ratings = 4.882

  • b) 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 4.809 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Haddington Care Home is based on 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 68 registered maximum number of service users is 13.6. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.6 = 0.809

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
