Welcoming and friendly staff, good security. Choice of rooms for socialising including a quiet room for those who might prefer this. Lovely garden area with a bird feeder. I am unable to visit my mum often. The care home manager sought me out on my visit and with mum present gave me an update on her
care package and general well being.
Mum is very well looked after and always looks comfortable, well presented and at ease with the staff. Her room is attractive and overlooks the garden.

I visit Strathview every week. I find all the carers without exception very understanding of those in their care. I myself have been involved with caring for the elderly so I have a good idea of what is required. Compassion, patience and above all a sense of humour! I find the atmosphere in Strathview
very calming and friendly. This has a very positive effect on the residents and staff alike.

Mum had visited Strathview on two occasions and the experience was really positive. However, when Mum stayed there in April 2015 I had a few concerns. When I visited a few days into her stay I was concerned to find her hair had obviously not been washed since her arrival which staff told me was because
her shampoo had not been packed. Whilst I'm not sure this is true, in any case, I would reasonably expect the staff to either use some spare shampoo, or to have contacted my father to request some! More concerningly, the staff seemed to be quite stressed. The manager looked as if she really couldn't be bothered to speak with me and one staff member told me "I'm glad we're not fully booked here because it's bad enough as it is." She told me they were really short staffed. Perhaps someone was off sick and it was a one-off experience; however the situation just didn't leave me feeling assured that my Mum was receiving the best care and so we decided to use another home for future respite.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.984)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.984) out of 10 for Strathview Care Home 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.984 for Strathview Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (186 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 189 Ratings = 4.984

  • 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 Strathview Care Home is based on 16 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 25 registered maximum number of service users is 5, which has been reached with 16 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.

Abi Rose-Armstrong

Job Title: Registered Manager

I have worked at Strathview Care Home for more than 7 years and prior to that cared for my mum and also worked in the private care sector. At Strathview I have worked my way up from Administrator to Deputy Manager and finally Home Manager, so I know the team well. I have always worked very closely with my team, which is very important to me.


As a small home it is vital that we support each other and work well as a team, every member of the team knows they can speak to me whenever they may need to, and the same goes for our residents and their families.
As the Manager at Strathview Care Home, I enjoy seeing how even just the smallest interaction on a daily basis can lighten someone’s face and make a difference. I work with people who have given their all to everyone around them and now it is their time to be looked after.


We provide a home-from-home experience for our residents and this extends to their family and friends. I take my responsibilities very seriously and am passionate that we provide a safe and secure environment for each and every resident at Strathview, whilst providing the highest level of care. I pride myself in treating every resident and every visitor as if they were family – always remembering we are guests in their home and not the other way around.


I personally feel that development and training are very important for both the team and myself, every day is a school day! I am proactive in supporting my team in taking up all the opportunities provided as we want to be able to offer the best experience possible to our residents, delivering quality care.


Away from work, I enjoy baking and cooking, bringing in some of the treats whenever possible, I like to make people happy. I also love learning, and I am regularly buried in an online course. My ideal holiday would be camping in Northern France, although I do like to take a few home comforts with me.
