Review from margo c (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum was in respite in Tantallon from end of August until October & settled so well alleviating all of our fears. This was mainly due to the staff being so welcoming & most importantly treating Mum like an individual.
She loved her room & her view & she came to look at her placement as
home.
Minimal issues were sorted out quickly & efficiently with management being very easy to approach.


We were extremely vexed to have had to move Mum onto residential care & thank everyone @ Tantallon so very much for both welcoming us as a family & keeping Mum safe x

My husband has been a resident in the dementia unit since May this year. I have nothing but high praise for all the staff who are looking after him so well, with great gentleness and concern. The carers are always so kind, friendly and always smiling. They have shown me concern when I find myself having
a difficult day coping with the situation my husband is in.

Very friendly when you arrive, also well secured so family are safe in their home. Rooms are kept clean and tidy all the time. Also loads of things to do here like pool table and cinema and other games and activities. Food plenty of choice. Only issue is when no one at front desk cant get in as family
dont get number to enter.

We are delighted with the standard of care that Mum has received at Tantallon House. The staff are caring and helpful and everything has been done to a very high standard. It is wonderful to see Mum enjoying trips out and about again. It has been lovely to see her smile and sense of humour return due
to the fact that she is getting so well looked after. She feels safe and very well cared for. The Activities team go the extra mile in providing activities to suit a range of interests. Mum's room is spacious and comfortable. It is great that there are a variety of spaces to use when visitors arrive. Visitors are always made to feel very welcome by the staff. Staff have all been super supportive right from the start of moving Mum into the home...both to Mum and myself. Thank you so very much.

My husband has only been in Tantallon House for four weeks and in that time, we have come to know what an exceptional place it is.
All the staff whatever their role, are warm, friendly, welcoming and approachable so that any query, problem or question that arises is dealt with promptly. The building
is light and bright beautifully maintained, with so many dedicated areas - quiet rooms, games room, cinema, even facilities for private family parties. The residents' rooms are spacious and well-furnished and being able to personalise their rooms with items from home has helped my husband to settle in. He has been made to feel very comfortable and enjoys the excellent meals provided. The family very appreciative of the care he is receiving, and we know we made the right decision when we chose Tantallon House.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum has settled in so well to her new home.
All the staff and residents have made us all feel so welcome. Often she doesn't have time to see me as she is out for a picnic lunch, or a woodland walk! There are always engaging, stimulating and thoughtful activities planned and lovely quiet spaces to
sit with a coffee too.
It gives me such peace of mind to know that all the staff know my mum and are so friendly and caring.
I feel very at home myself when I visit with my little dog at all times of the day, and am made to feel like part of one big family which is so important. Mum calls it home already and really enjoys all the good quality meals. She can help herself to fresh fruit salad in the morning and afternoon, but can also be tempted by the cake and ice cream trolleys that come round too.
I feel very lucky that Mum is getting to spend this phase of her life is such a lovely calm caring stimulating environment.
Thank you

Tantallon is not like any other care home, it has a hotel feeling to it. It's very welcoming and bright and extremely clean. The residents rooms are lovely and spacious too.
The communal living area also has a lovely welcome feel about it and it's not too cramped.
Most importantly though is the
staff, they are friendly and approachable. The medical staff, carers , cleaners, reception and management staff are all very professional helpful and lovely.

Staff have shown compassion, patience and kindness while mum settles and adjusts to her new surroundings. During this period, staff have been quick to respond to any queries or issues which were raised. As staff get to know Mum, they are understanding how best to provide the care that Mum requires whilst

My mother moved into Tantallon House from hospital on 15th November. The transfer went smoothly and she has settled into the residence well.
The staff have been very helpful and kind. Mum is always well-dressed and comfortable. She is unable to get out of bed due to general weakness from advanced cancer.
I

My husband spent the last 6 weeks of his life at Tantallon House, where he was treated with incredible care and compassion. The staff went above and beyond, not only for him but for our entire family, giving us support and space to be by his side in his final days.

Following a fall, my mother's care needs changed dramatically. The manager at Tantallon was superb at finding a room and expediting the entry assessment at short notice. Having been a resident for around a month now, the whole experience for Mum has been super. The smaller communities grouped around
each corridor provide greater familiarity with surroundings and the opportunity to make friends more easily. The staff are all very friendly and take a personal interest in the residents. As her broken ankle has improved, Mum has increasingly been getting involved in a variety of activities that are organised, including day trips out, so she is enjoying a more sociable life than before moving into Tantallon. The family has been very happy with the way in which Mum is being looked after and enjoy tremendous flexibility in going in and out for visits, which are welcomed by the staff.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.800)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.800) out of 10 for Tantallon House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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 4.800 for Tantallon House is calculated as follows: ( (347 Excellents x 5) + (55 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 415 Ratings = 4.8
  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 Tantallon House is based on 34 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14, which has been reached with 34 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.
