What a fantastic place this is. Everything about the Kintyre Care Centre is five star. Each and every member of staff are a credit to the care centre, for their kindness shown not only to the residents, but also the families. KCC saved the day, not only for our dad, but for us as a family. They gave
our dad his dignity back and the unreserved care and compassion shown to him was overwhelming. From the moment our dad crossed the KCC door it was like a huge weight had been lifted from us, even when we would say how nice the staff were in the care centre, he would correct us and say they were very nice. We, as a family, can never repay the kindness, care and compassion shown to both our dad and us as a family by the KCC and for that we are sincerely grateful. Campbeltown is an extremely lucky town having the KCC in it.

Totally blown away by this home! Staff are so friendly and helpful, so clean and bright with plants and even a beautiful wee dog and cat. Food I'm told is excellent, comfortable bedrooms and lounge. Can't praise it highly enough - it's like a 5-star hotel!

Thanks to all the staff who were so friendly and helpful during my recent visits to my aunt.
My aunt appears content and comfortable, states that she is happy and looks forward to her meals which she says are lovely.
As I do not live locally and can only visit monthly I am reassured by the caring
and joyful way I see staff interacting with my aunt and other residents.
Kudos to you all!

My husband has been a resident since January 2022. The staff always make me feel very welcome and give me daily updates when I phone.
My husband has a nice room and often get to visit him in a small dining area.
He likes his food and always as lovely cakes etc for tea breaks.
He seems quite settled
and the staff have a good report with him.
Nothing is ever any bother.

Absolute disgrace of a company. Do not put your loved ones in this home if you wish to still see them as we have traveled 300 miles to see her with her grandkids, to be told yesterday we could take her out to come today to pick her up. She had been sitting waiting all morning for us to come to get her
to get to the door and be told we can't take her out. Why tell us we can take her, give us a covid test to do when we picked her up then come to get her and now we can't.

Reply from Diane Kerwin, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at Kintyre Care Home

Thank you very much for taking the time to contact us with your concerns as it allows us to learn from the issue to ensure it is not repeated in the future. I am very sorry that after your long journey we were unable to support you to take your mother out for the day. We appreciate this would have been very difficult and upsetting for you and your family. I would like to reassure you that our staff endeavour to support families with visits from loved ones however, unfortunately, on this occasion we had to follow the guidance from public health due to an outbreak in the home. Please accept our apologies for any upset this has caused you and your family.

Staff cannot do enough, not only for my husband, but for me also. They keep me informed about any changes to do with my husband. The care he receives is truly excellent. I feel very at ease at home knowing the great care he is receiving. I just can't praise all the staff enough for all the hard work
they do and always with a smile.
All the staff had a wonderful response to the COVID19 outbreak. They have kept all the residents safe. Well done to them.

Since coming into care our mother has been well looked after and has been treated with respect by all staff. She has put on weight which was a worry to us while she was at home. As a family, we are more than happy to recommend Kintyre Care Home and all its staff.

As I live in England and always come up to visit my mum the staff are always helpful, friendly, and very sweet and kind to myself and my mum. I am always allowed extra time with her as I live so far away and before COVID they were always offering me drinks and something to eat. Mum's room looks so much
better since my last visit in September 2020.

I would just like, to take this opportunity, to thank all the staff, at the Kintyre Care Home for their kindness and care of my mother who has been a resident for about 18-months. We do not live locally, so it is lovely for my brother and me to have trust in the nurses and carers, they keep us informed
of mums progress and well being. As covid is here, we have not been able to get up to see her, and the manager kindly sent me a photo of Mum, it was such a joy to see that my mum was looking well and happy. Also mention to her carer who always has time to talk to me if I have any concerns about Mum, a big thank you to all of you.

In these difficult times, the home has done a very good job protecting residents from the virus. It has done its best to make visiting possible within the rules, and all staff I have dealt with show genuine kindness towards their residents.

Both my husband and I have been visiting the care home for four years. We have got to know many of the residents and the staff. Our friend, who has very recently lost his wife, is visited by us twice weekly.
We cannot thank ALL the carers and staff enough for their kindness and support. The care home
is the BEST of several we've visited. At no time have we left thinking anything but gratitude and a sense that CARE is exactly what the residents have in abundance.

Still, have concerns about night time manning at times down to one person at night.
Some of the staff are very good and interact with residents very well, other staff very lethargic. Patients property goes missing from rooms' ? the cause!

Reply from Clare Sheehan, Careline Advisor at Kintyre Care Home

Thank you for giving feedback about the home. I would like to reassure you that our staffing levels are carefully decided based on Resident numbers and dependency and there has never been any occasion where one member of staff is on shift, the least we ever have is 4 staff, which is on a night shift. If you would like to speak to the Manager he can arrange for any reimbursement for any missing items.

During my weekly visits to see a good friend who is a resident and chat also with many other residents, I have found the atmosphere to be friendly and relaxed. The staff here also become friends, and I can see how well they look after the residents and make great efforts to make life as enjoyable as
possible.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.132)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.132) out of 10 for Kintyre 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 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 Kintyre Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 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 3.132 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kintyre Care Home 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 38 registered maximum number of service users is 7.6. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.6 = 0.132

  • 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.
