My aunt came into the care home just after the first lockdown, and then two weeks later, we were in the second lockdown. I visit every week, and she is always very clean and tidy and always cheery. I received many newsletters, and it was good reading and nice to see the interaction with other residents.

This is the best care home in Perth. It's clean and always smells fresh. Residents receive the best care and are treated like part of their own family. I love the activities and interactions staff have with residents. Staff are very good and friendly, always very helpful and keep me up to date with
any changes.

I have no hesitation in highly commending Strathtay House. The staff have and continue to be very helpful, caring and a great support to my mum, who has been living there for the past 18 months. They have always been excellent at communicating any concerns to me and have managed exceptionally well during
the COVID crisis to maintain a high level of care and support to mum and us as a family.

My mum has lived in Strathtay House since 2017, and her care, in that time, has been excellent. The staff are all very good and take the time to acknowledge Mum and interact with her making her time a little more easier. I have nothing but praise for the care home and staff.

My grandad has been living at Strathtay House now for over two years.
He had previously been in another care home and can say that Strathtay is a much better care home for him!
All the staff are lovely and welcoming and always keep us up to date with how he is.
The last year has been hard with
not being able to see him due to Covid, but whenever we phoned, he seemed in great spirit, and again, the staff keep you up to date with how he is getting on.
This is the first I have been able to see my grandad properly in over a year, and the procedure for getting to see him was great. The lady who helped me do my lateral flow test was cheery and very helpful. It’s great to see these procedures in place and know that my grandad is in a safe environment.
Thank you.

My mother spent a few peaceful weeks in Strathtay in December 2019/January 2020. Even though it was a short stay, as a family we were so impressed with Strathtay's services. It has a very safe and homely atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff, good food, lovely and clean, very nice ensuite bedroom
facilities, and even hairdressing services which my mother enjoyed very much. The other residents are also great fun to chat with. A big thank you to all the staff who put our minds at rest, knowing that she was receiving such an excellent standard of care.

My mother, unfortunately, had only a very brief stay of five days in this very caring home. It gave us great comfort knowing that her last few days were peaceful and the care she received was second to none from all the staff. The home is warm, clean but most importantly everyone exudes warmth to the
residents.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (10.000)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (10.000) out of 10 for Strathtay House 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 Strathtay House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (143 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 143 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Strathtay House Care Home is based on 12 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 12 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.
