The care provided is excellent at Mearns House. Mum is well looked after and enjoys all the activities on offer. The food seems ok, nothing fancy, but Mum enjoys it.
All the staff know Mum by name and seem to care for her well, and she loves all the staff in the home.
Reply from Kirsty Craig, Home Manager at Mearns House

Mum was given a very warm welcome, the whole team helping Mum to feel settled as quickly as possible. The nursery team spent a lot of time getting to know Mum, great modern facilities, including underfloor sensors to monitor any movements in the rooms at night and tagging clothes so they don't get mixed
up - genius idea. Food options are excellent, with plenty of treats and tea available. Very varied range of weekly activities so residents can socialise and keep active where possible. And great coffee for visitors too!
Reply from Kirsty Craig, Home Manager at Mearns House

Thank you so much for such a lovely review. We are so pleased to hear that mum feels supported and settled in her new home. The team take great pride in ensuring Mearns House is both a great place to live and a great place to work!

My experience has been largely positive. I find the care staff very friendly, attentive, caring and professional. I receive a phone call if my mum has had even a small/minor accident informing me of her condition and any treatment she has received. My mum has mild Alzheimers and enjoys chatting with
staff and looks forward to attending activities which staff also join in with. My brother and I attended my mum's six-month review last week where we discussed her care going forward with a care assistant.

Review from G M (Stepdaughter of Resident) published on 8 March 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have great confidence in the care that my stepmother is receiving at Mearns House. She has lived here for over a year and her health and well-being have improved during this time. The staff are always friendly and attentive, the meals are enjoyable and there is a wide range of activities on offer.
The common areas and rooms are clean and tidy, and there is an attractive garden to enjoy during warmer months. Whenever any health issues have arisen, I have been quickly updated, and I am reassured by the standard of care offered. The most important thing is that my stepmother is content, safe and settled - and truly considers Mearns House as home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My family and I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the exemplary care of our dad. I would also like to add my personal thanks as my dad had to be re-homed during very challenging times of Covid restrictions. Not being able to oversee this personally, everyone at Mearns House went above
and beyond ensuring that this transition went as smoothly as possible.
Needless to say, Dad settled in very quickly. I always asked Dad if he had any issues or complaints but he only ever had compliments for everyone.
All staff at Mearns House were always so accommodating. Dad, throughout his life, was always surrounded by creatures, great and small and he also loved his garden. The icing on the cake for Dad was been able to sit outside in your beautiful garden, organise visits with friends and all the four legged beasties in tow!
It was a great comfort for the family to know that Dad was safe, happy and loved.
Dad's passing was peaceful and dignified and for that, we are eternally grateful.
Reply from Kirsty Craig, Home Manager at Mearns House

Thank you for your beautiful words of kindness to the team at Mearns House. It was both an honour and privilege to care and support Dad and the family. I know I speak on behalf of the entire team when I say how missed Dad will be and that both he and your family will always hold a place in our hearts.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident for over 3 years. She has parkinson’s disease; some days are better than others. She does not suffer from dementia.
The home is modern and purpose-built. When researching homes I did not find one that was better equipped, brighter or more inviting than Mearns House.
Due
to Covid I obviously haven’t been in the home as much as I used to be but generally, interactions with staff are very positive. Like most homes, the turnover of staff is quite high but a core group have been there since Mum arrived.
I believe that the staff have the residents best interests at heart and the staff know my Mum’s needs very well. Mum can suffer from crippling anxiety and I have found the staff to be patient and encouraging.
Generally, there is good and varied entertainment laid on.
Food is good although Mum complains of lack of variety.
Reply from Kirsty Craig, Home Manager at Mearns House

Thank you for your lovely review and honest feedback. I will certainly take onboard your comments and continue to work closely with the chef to ensure more variety going forward. It is a pleasure to care for Mum and I am so pleased to hear that you are happy with the service we provide.

One of the advantages of Mearns House is ground floor rooms having direct access to the courtyard for those able to do so.
The relaxation of the isolating Covid rules has made a huge difference to the resident. Mearns House has managed this well.
Reply from Kirsty Craig, Home Manager at Mearns House

Thank you for your lovely review. We are so happy to be welcoming our families back into Mearns House. It has certainly been a challenging year for everyone and it is so lovely to see our residents reunited with their loved ones.
I am so glad that following on from your review the deputy manager was able to assist you with your queries in relation to activities and food and drink, and hopefully this will be reflected upon your next review.
Thank you for your continued support.

My mother has been in Mearns House for a year now and it was the best decision that the family, along with our mother, ever made since I was no longer able to look after her myself. The care and attention she receives has been exceptional. The staff treat her like their own family and they know her
almost as well as I do now. I can't praise them highly enough for all they do for my mum and all the other residents. When we were able to visit I was always made welcome no matter how long I stayed or how often I came. When you have any questions the staff are always happy to spend time with you either in person (pre-Covid) or now on the phone.
There are three words which I'd use to describe the home and all the staff... amazing, amazing, amazing! Thank you Mearns House from the bottom of my heart.

My mother lived in Newton Mearns from 1953 until 1986 when she and her husband moved to Fuengirola.
My mother, born in Barrhead, worked as a young teacher in a school for several years. Subsequently, she worked as a volunteer for an organisation, ending up as the Manager for the West of Scotland area.
She
then managed a ladies' dress shop in Newton Mearns for 5 years.
After her husband's death in Spain, she returned to Newton Mearns.
She moved into Mearns House last year.
Every single word my mother uses to describe Mearns House and the staff and management is positive.
Every single word.
I live in Milan and, so, am not allowed to travel to visit my mother; nevertheless, during all of our telephone chats, she repeats the same sentiment: The staff in Mearns House are fantastic. I thank them for that.

I researched diligently all possible homes that could care for Mum and I am so glad I did. Mearns House seemed perfect when we visited and it has not let us down. Staff are kind and caring and genuinely care for the residents. Mum says she is happy and she doesn't say that often. Her room is lovely,
food is amazing and the facilities are great. The cafe is lovely and such a nice place to spend your visit time (well when we could visit). Covid enforcing separation from our loved ones has been unbelievably hard but staff have done all they can to try and keep us connected and to try and fill the gap. They have kept Mum safe and I can't thank them enough for that. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mearns House to anyone.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.905)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.905) out of 10 for Mearns House 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.905 for Mearns House is calculated as follows: ( (184 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 199 Ratings = 4.905
  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 Mearns House is based on 17 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 68 registered maximum number of service users is 13.6, which has been reached with 17 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.
