Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
If I were a resident in this home I would be very happy.
The staff are all so pleasant and cheery, they spoil us visitors with ever so tempting and so delicious cakes (all home made), compliments to the chef.
Also, the entertainment is so therapeutic, due to most of the residents enjoying the music
and singing that they get if I start dancing, myself included. Also, the lady in charge is the person that makes this happen.

Review from David F (Son of Resident) published on 9 June 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My 97 year old mother's admission to Mearns House was the result of an illness at home culminating in emergency hospital admission.
Recovering in hospital she asked, despite not being enthusiastic for care homes, that I find her somewhere for her remaining years.
I live in England, 350 miles away
and we have a few members of family in Glasgow so the care home had to be in the Glasgow area.
Mearns House had only recently opened so there was no track record to review. However the location is ideal, Mearns House property, rooms and facilities are attractive. First impressions were important and other homes we visited did not impress when visually compared to Mearns House. We understood that as a new start there could be teething problems and staffing numbers had to grow in line with new residents intake - however, I was prepared to live with this.
We are in our infancy with Mearns House and so far, so good. I like the openness and access to staff at all levels. It is friendly and facilities are very attractive. My mother seems to have settled in well and appears to like the staff and the fact they take time for a friendly chat as they go about their duties.
Reply from Liz Campbell, Home Manager at Mearns House

Hi David,


Thank you for your input and support.
It is certainly true that all new homes have "teething problems", luckily ours have been very few.
We are continuing to build our staff team to accommodate all the new residents that are choosing to stay at Mearns House and we are doing this with the assistance of our residents and relatives who support us through the interview process.
We love having your mum here and she has settled really well and has made quite a few new friends with both the residents and the staff.
Onwards and Upwards and I look forward to seeing you on your next trip "Up North", bring the good weather with you and drive safely!

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.
