My mother has been a resident at Camowen since January 2023, she says how kind and patient the staff are to her. Residents are treated as individuals with respect and dignity and nothing is too much trouble for the staff.
Mum absolutely loves the food and looks forward to meal times!
A great care
home.

We were desperate to find my mother a care home. Camowen came through and we've been very happy with their services they provide. What is a stressful experience, became a friendly and welcoming procedure. I feel my mother gets wonderful attention, the staff are so helpful, offering a professional and
truly caring service. Their dedication is so obvious, we're beyond grateful. I had no knowledge of the industry, these people do an amazing job. Thank you Camowen.

I would like to say how welcoming the staff are at Camowen, feels like home, and nothing is too much trouble. The garden is very well lawned, it's got a nice feel. I love how it feels homely. I have visited quite a few times now, and have always been offered refreshments, time and space. The home is
very clean and there is always someone to speak to. I would definitely recommend it to my friends.

My Mother was a resident at Camowen Care Home from March 2022 into March 2024 (her death). At all times she was treated with respect and dignity by the staff. I fully believe that her life was extended by two years by the care she received there. I especially wish to commend 2 senior carers in particular
and the manager for their compassion and professionalism.

Mum has been a resident at Camowen since 2019. Since moving to Camowen her health, mental well-being and overall pleasure in life have flourished. Mum has had the same key worker since admission ensuring consistency. The quality of care is excellent as is the catering, compassion of staff, and overall
management of the care home.

Mum has lived in the care home for a little under a year. Mum is 99 and suffers from Alzheimer's and vascular dementia. The care she is receiving is excellent. All the staff are kind and caring and she has benefited from the gentle routine, the excellent meals and the friendly staff. It is great to
know she is in safe hands.

I would just like to thank all the Camowen Care Home staff that have looked after my nan since she came out of hospital. I would absolutely recommend this home to anyone. My nan has loved staying with them but due to circumstances, we are having to move her nearer to us. They are very accommodating
and their level of care is amazing. My nan will be sad to say goodbye.

Everyone is well looked after and is cared for in a kind and caring way here and we are treated individually and nothing seems to be too much trouble for all the kind staff employed here. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending the home to all I come in contact with and thank them for all their
care and kindness during my stay here.

I just want to say a huge thank you to all the staff at Camowen for looking after my grandmother so well. She passed a few days ago. The home is welcoming and friendly when you visit, bright and cheery and doesn't smell weird. Staff are happy and seem to really love their work and all through COVID
they have had no cases amongst the clients, which shows they really look after the ladies and gentleman in there. There are lots of activities, but my grandmother preferred to stay in her room. At age 96 and very frail - and having a bad experienced at her previous care home - that was fine! She was rather deaf but the staff were firm with her and made her hear and understand, and got her to do things they knew she could do when she was feeling lazy. They read her bible verses from her bible verse a day calendar, as they knew this made her happy. They sneaked her extra breakfasts, and knew she liked sneaky toast in the afternoon! I totally recommend Camowen.

I would highly recommend Camowen to anyone looking for a care home for their loved one. I truly have nothing but praise for the way they are caring for my mum, who has been happy and contented there. Her room is bright and clean, and the staff (non-agency) are caring and friendly both to her and visitors;
always taking time to stop and talk and help with any concerns, and the manager and deputy are equally hands-on too. The atmosphere is happy and uplifting, and care quality is second to none.

This home is the best. Since the last change of management, the home appears to have a much happier atmosphere and the staff appear more relaxed. Having said this my mother is deteriorating and the care she is receiving is of a very high standard. Any assessments that have been needed have all been
followed through by the staff. They are all very aware of her needs which is why we want her to stay there as she becomes more frail. Would recommend this home for anyone.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.698)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.698) out of 10 for Camowen is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.698 for Camowen is calculated as follows: ( (105 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 139 Ratings = 4.698

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Camowen is based on 12 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 20 registered maximum number of service users is 4, which has been reached with 12 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
