I popped into visit my Mother in December, the day of the party. The atmosphere was terrific, the staff were friendly and my Mother was very happy.

My aunt who is 95 years old needed respite care following several weeks in hospital with a fractured hip. I had already seen the website for Montrose when another family member needed care but unfortunately died before she could leave hospital. When I visited Monstrose I was very impressed by the staff
and the premises, very well equipped and modern.
My aunt has spent a couple of months there and has been very well fed and cared for and will now be going home at the end of October.

We had excellent care over the three years my mother was at Montrose. We could not have asked for a better manager running the hall. The staff followed her lead.

We are very happy with the care provided for my nan. The staff make a real effort to ensure all the residents are included in daily activities.
The rooms are very homely, my nan is very happy here.
Nan says the food is lovely and enjoys plenty of snacks while watching her fave soaps!

My mother has been in this home for close on four years. My sister and I looked at some 9 homes before deciding on Montrose. Mum was in respite prior to this at various places for a few months, I work in the community as a dementia ambassador and visit other homes in the area regularly. I wouldn't want
my mum to be in a home anywhere else but Montrose.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.617)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.617) out of 10 for Montrose Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.617 for Montrose Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (133 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 175 Ratings = 4.617

  • 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 Montrose 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 14 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.

Jade

Jade Taylor

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2022

Having started her career within care over a decade ago, Jade always says that care chose her, rather than her choosing care. She started in a role that provided care within the community, cultivating a career that enabled her to work within a variety of settings, including dementia and care for older people, as well as nursing, palliative and learning disabilities. In addition to this experience, she holds a degree in Psychology, Counselling and Therapies, and a Level 5 in Management and Leadership. Since joining Montrose Care Home in March 2022, her commitment remains the same as in her previous roles: to uphold exceptional care standards where people are at the heart of everything she does.
