Camowen offers high-quality care and staff are always cheerful and committed. The atmosphere is relaxed and happy and residents look clean and well cared for. If a resident requires a Doctor or District Nurse to visit the manager acts on it immediately. I would recommend Camowen to friends and family.

My mother loves her room and all the staff who pop in to see her. Having had no appetite, she now looks forward to meal times.
The communal room has become a place that my mother has started to use and interact with other guests.
I could not ask for a better place for my mother to be.

My mother-in-law was taken into care at this care home four years ago and she will be 102 years young in January 2018. This is a truly magnificent care home.

I feel extremely lucky for my father to reside at Camowen Residential Home. My father enjoys joking and laughing with the staff and they treat him with dignity and respect. He feels very welcome and comfortable and the standard of cleanliness is excellent. I have always felt welcome and the staff very
approachable and friendly.

We visit my cousin on a regular basis and have always been warmly welcomed. Staff are friendly, with warm smiles.
No smell of urine in ground floor level, which is where my cousin has her room. She is always clean, no evidence of soiling on clothing.
Attention given by staff to dress her in clothes
she likes.
Her room is clean, no bodily smells evident. I ring every few days between visits. The assistant manager always gives a detailed account of my cousin's health etc and on occasion has called her to the office to have a chat.

From the very beginning, I have found the staff and management to be very kind and attentive to my mother's needs. Although she tends to be a loner, they have gently encouraged her to join in the activities at the same time, respect her need for privacy and the food is served is excellent. As a visitor,
I am always made to feel welcome and I am grateful for the peace of mind this establishment has given to me and my family.

The staff are very friendly, caring and treat each client as an individual. Considering mum can be a little disruptive due to her dementia they are incredibly patient with her. The food is very good and they give mum plenty of time to do things at her own pace. They know her likes and dislikes and feed
her accordingly.
They are very friendly and welcoming to her family and we are invited to all the parties and concerts they have. They also have outings where were are invited too.
In all we are extremely happy with the care and the love that is given to mum and have no worries about her being in Camowen.

My mother has been a resident at Camowen for three and a half years. The staff are welcoming and have made mum feel settled, safe and happy. All of the staff are friendly and approachable. Mum is always treated with respect and dignity. The activities are varied and she is always encouraged to participate.

My mother has been at the Camowen for a few years now and I can only praise all the staff for their care and patience for her day to day wellbeing. The home is very nicely decorated and always very inviting. If my mother has been out, upon her return she says she is home, which makes the family feel
very reassured and happy.

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.
