Lovely ambience in Duchray Unit from the minute you step in. The staff are helpful and pleasant and always have a few friendly words when I visit. The rooms are light, airy and spacious. If staff pop into the room during my visit they always offer a cuppa or a coffee and we usually have a wee general
chat. The unit is tidy and clean and I feel staff morale is higher following the appointment of the new manager. Overall I enjoy my visits with my sister and the unit does have a homely atmosphere! Sorry, I cannot comment on food and drink as I am not present during my sister's mealtimes.

A truly great care home, my mum has been a resident for well over a decade and she is so well looked after. The staff are always friendly and helpful and they've always been supportive of my family and me any time we have questions or requests.
Care homes are always lambasted for poor service and it's
rare that the good ones get the credit they deserve - Marchglen is a great place and I'm so happy with how well looked after my mum is!

Reply from Home Manager at Marchglen Care Centre

Really fantastic place which provides specialist care for my mum. The staff looking after Mum are really great - such a friendly, professional and caring bunch. I feel confident that she is getting the care that she needs. Nursing and care staff are very communicative and care is very person centred.
My mum is often having a laugh with some of the carers there and she has developed some really close bonds. There is a regular programme of activities organised, which is great for residents’ general well-being. The new management are very approachable, available to chat and have made a massive positive impact on Marchglen. Mum is content, comfortable and well looked after.

In these challenging times, staff at Marchglen Care Centre have been unfailingly kind and caring. Regular updates about the resident’s health have helped me greatly. Sharing the care of a loved one isn’t always easy, and the staff have worked hard to reassure and support me through this period.

I find my daughter to be well looked after. She is always clean and tidy. Meals are first class. Chefs do a grand job producing lovely food, great choice too. The bedroom is always clean and tidy. Entertainment is good too, some of the outings are not always appropriate for my daughter, but others are
ok. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

Marchglen is a friendly and happy place for residents. My sister in law has been here for nine months and is treated well with a high level of care and respect from staff. The manager is approachable and always ensures that everything is to a very high standard. All in all an excellent facility.

My wife was a resident in Menteith unit for 7 years ( she died sept 19th 2016 ) in all that time the staff were so kind to her and looked after her very well I never had to worry when I was not there, they also showed me great kindness throughout these years, I have recently retired as a paramedic
with 30 years service and had to attend many nursing homes and this one was by far the best, keep up the good work, and again thank you.

All I can say is I could not find another home with the care and dignity that is shown to my husband and our family, from the Marchglen staff. We as a family call it our second home. I am kept up to date with all his care. There is always someone to talk to, even for his grand kids.

This is an excellent facility. At times staffing levels are lower than they should be which results in care being delivered late. All staff are extremely caring to our whole family, not just the residents. It is definitely considered as a home from home, even the dog is welcome.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.135)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.135) out of 10 for Marchglen Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Marchglen Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (11 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 11 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.135 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Marchglen Care Centre is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 37 registered maximum number of service users is 7.4. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.4 = 0.135

  • 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.
