Craigie House Residential Care Home is located in the village of Crossgates, sharing its grounds with Alexander House Nursing Home, both of which are now proudly owned by Holmes Care Group.

This former mansion, with its striking Victorian frontage, was thoughtfully renovated to combine the charm of its period features with modern care and comfort. The result is a home where residents truly feel at ease.

Craigie House can accommodate 30 residents in spacious single-occupancy rooms, the majority of which are equipped with en-suite toilet and shower facilities.

The upper floors of Craigie House are accessible by lift, while the lounges and dining areas are conveniently located on the ground floor, offering easy access to the beautifully landscaped enclosed garden areas. Residents can enjoy the outdoor space, whether they wish to take a stroll or simply relax and enjoy the flowers and fresh air.

Although nestled in the heart of Crossgates, Craigie House benefits from a predominantly rural setting while remaining close to the attractions of nearby towns such as Dunfermline and Kirkcaldy.

Residents are invited to participate in a wide range of activities, from regular outings in the home's minibus to local shops, shows, and other places of interest. Inside the home, the Activities Team provides a full programme of activities, including exercise classes, reminiscence sessions, arts and crafts, and games. Live concerts featuring professional entertainers are also a regular highlight at Craigie House, ensuring there is always something to enjoy.

My mum was referred to Craigie House for a 6 week assessment period after hospitalisation. She had cancer and was quite poorly when admitted. Her condition deteriorated and sadly she passed away on Sunday 11th June. The staff were excellent at Craigie House, particularly in the difficult 7-10 days prior
to Mum's death. The care provided was compassionate and very caring. Mum was looked after extremely well. We were in awe of the way staff did their very best for Mum even when she was being a bit stubborn. They showed great patience and professionalism. The room Mum was in was small but initially, the expectation was that she would not be at Craigie House long term so this was understandable. It would have been helpful to have improved telephone contact with Mum as she was on the first floor and this made things a wee bit difficult. Overall our impression was extremely positive and although staff were stretched they had a smile for everyone. We were grateful for all their hard work and dedication.

My mum's gate has been broken by a resident for a few weeks now and not yet fixed. Because of this, other residents are walking into her room and disturbing her and today even physically shaking them. My mum was shaking when I came in to visit her and angry. Can we please have this gate repaired and
put back on the door asap?

All the staff are very helpful and friendly and go above and beyond to ensure my mother is taken very well care of. She is very happy here. Rooms and en-suite bathrooms are a good standard and all areas are kept immaculately clean and tidy.

My mum was made to feel very welcome by a young enthusiastic team of carers who showed complete compassion and clear understanding of difficult circumstances. Since being in Craigie House my Mum has grown in confidence and is joining in with the activities when possible. Craigie House has excellent
communication skills which is much appreciated with regular health updates.

Current Review Score: 6.8 (6.819)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 6.8 (6.819) out of 10 for Craigie House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 3.7 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 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 3.652 for Craigie House is calculated as follows: ( (6 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 23 Ratings = 3.652

  • 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 3.167 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Craigie House 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 6 = 0.167

  • 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.
