Staff always pleasant easy to talk to. Care of my mum always appears good, she seems relaxed and happy. Staff very good at contacting me if mum unwell and nurses always chat and give an update when they know we are visiting. Just one issue, wheelchairs are frequently parked in my mums room as if being
used as an equipment store. This has been raised so hopefully will not be an issue now. Very happy overall with mum being here, we looked at numerous others but happy we picked and got a place here.

My brother now considers this to be his home. He is very happy with the care he receives, the food, the staff and the general care provided. I find the staff very helpful, friendly and keen to provide whatever is needed for their residents. Although my brother has never complained I do wonder if the
beds are comfortable, the mattresses seem rather thin.

The staff are always looking after everyone's needs, dignity, care and polite even if a patient/resident gives them abuse. The nurse and seniors are second to none. Everything however small you ask of them to look into is immediately noted and acted upon immediately. Food is very carried and there is
something for everyone. Over all very happy so far as we have only been here a short time.

My wife was admitted to Howgate House on 7/5/15 having lost the use of her legs following breaking her hip in a fall. She needs lifting by two people which i cannot do alone. When I can take her out in a wheelchair she is reasonably happy but is unable to accept that she can walk or stand. She will
never be content unless I could take her home which is impossible. The staff of the home do a good job looking after her and me.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.438)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.438) out of 10 for Howgate House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 17 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 4.438 for Howgate House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (111 Excellents x 5) + (59 Goods x 4) + (18 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.438

  • 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 Howgate House 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 63 registered maximum number of service users is 12.6, 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.
