I'm sorry that this was your experience on the day of your visit to the home. The detail of this review is very concerning and requires future investigation into the concerns raised. These concerns have not been raised with the management team at the home to allow us to act in response to your experience. In our main reception area, there are posters and leaflets on how to raise a concern which would have allowed us to have an open dialogue with you and gain more information to allow us to complete an investigation. I would encourage you to make contact with me at the home to allow me to look into your concerns raised in this review.

Hi, thank you for your feedback.
The home currently has a plan in place for redecoration following the prolonged period of the pandemic. Non essential work was not carried out to ensure we mitigated any risk as best we could. However things have much improved now and the home has a plan in place to freshen it up.
It's good to know that you feel the home has a good level of communication during the covid period ensuring you were kept up to date.
I will pass your kind comments on to the team.

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.037) out of 10 for Lochleven Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.337 for Lochleven Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (96 Excellents x 5) + (58 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 175 Ratings = 4.337
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 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Lochleven Care Home is based on 14 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 100 registered maximum number of service users is 20. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.7
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.

Job Title: Care Service Manager
Joined: 2013
I have worked at Lochleven care home for over 10 years.
I have always worked in care homes, have nearly 20 years of experience in the industry and have loved every minute of it.
When I first started in a direct care role, it was the residents, their life stories, their love and their successes that really kindled a flame within my soul that has yet to be extinguished.
When I moved into more of a leadership role, I was lucky to be working with an amazing team that shared their knowledge and experience, freely working together to ensure that our residents are living the best life possible.
In my personal time, I love to read, my favourite book is probably Gone with the Wind.
I like to do DIY and pretend I’m good at it, I enjoy playing the cello – my neighbours probably don’t, I’m very much an animal lover, the more animals I can get in my life the better. The karaoke machine calls my name when I go out with friends and family, I’m pretty much a stay-at-home person, my books, my cats and my cello, although my newest life goal is to go to Switzerland to visit the famous Lindt chocolate museum and make chocolate with the master chocolatier
Job Title: Administrator
Joined: 2021
My name is Karen, I’m the Administrator and started working in Lochleven in July 2021. Life has led me through a varying path including working as a multi-franchise Vehicle Administrator, Finance Administration and on to my current role as a Care Home administrator. Lochleven is lively and friendly with the residents being the heart of the home. I thoroughly enjoy the fast pace and interesting individuals I meet on a daily basis.
Job Title: Receptionist
Joined: 2018
My name is Mari, I am a receptionist here a Lochleven Care Home. I work as part of a team to cover the main reception at Lochleven Care Home. As a mum of a disabled daughter and working in care for many years before coming to Lochelven Care Home, I can empathise with families, residents and staff at the home.
I believe in making the most of every day, whatever that means to the individual. The right to live a full and happy life no matter what your ability.
I am happy that I am part of the team at Lochleven Care Home.
