I visited Allambie during Christmas to share and provide an art activity. During my visit, l felt welcomed and had the wonderful support of their activity coordinator. Allambie has a warm homely atmosphere and the residents who joined in were happy and relaxed. Through my work l visited different care
facilities, and l found Allambie to be an outstanding home with an emphasis on care and kindness. I look forward to visiting them again.

We have been delighted with the care and attention our dad has received over the last almost four years. The staff are remarkable and always communicate well. Food is always prepared well and he is kept clean and comfortable at all times.

Dad was a resident at Allambie House from June 2022 until his death in October. I can't speak too highly of the care he received from all of the staff at Allambie. They all put the needs of those in their care first and respect their dignity at all times. The staff also made me, my brother and other
visitors feel welcome and became 'friends' to us. I would happily recommend Allambie to anyone needing a short or longer stay in a care home.

Reply from Geraldine and Chintha, Registered Manager at Allambie House

Thank you so much for your kind words. Dad will be missed very much and it was a joy to have him at Allambie House.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mum spent 5 weeks in Allambie House after spending 5 weeks in hospital. This was a new experience and very daunting for my mum and for me, but after a few days she settled in very well. The staff were incredibly good, getting to know my mum and her needs, giving me updates when I visited and they
went above and beyond when catering for all of her needs and helping her to get better.
The home was secure and I saw many happy residents who were treated with the utmost respect.
My mum is back home now with carers visiting multiple times a day but if she ever needs to go back into a care home then I would wait for Allambie House to have a vacancy.

Reply from Geraldine Murray, Registered Manager at Allambie House

Thank you very much for your kind and thoughtful words, we are so glad that your mum's stay with us was a happy one. We are very pleased that she is settled at home with carers coming in throughout the day.

I have had very good experiences with the home since my brother moved in. Staff are brilliant, very helpful and caring. Nothing is too much trouble. He is very happy and settled and seems to be getting more involved with people which he was reluctant to do before he came to Allambie House Care Home.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.109)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.109) out of 10 for Allambie House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 5 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 4.776 for Allambie House is calculated as follows: ( (49 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 58 Ratings = 4.776

  • 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 4.333 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Allambie House is based on 5 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 = 3.5

    • 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 6 = 0.833

  • 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.
