My mum has only resided within the home since the beginning of last month. I cannot recommend Lothian House enough. The standard of care is second to none. All staff are friendly and professional and deliver a high standard of care to all residents, ensuring their care needs are met. All residents are
treated individually and safeguarded within the home. The meals are lovely. The manager and all the staff are very approachable and all do an amazing job looking after/taking care of our loved ones.

Lothian House is an amazing care home. The staff at Lothian are wonderful and look after everyone brilliantly, taking every step to make people feel at home. They have cared for my mother, who has dementia, since 2021 with incredible kindness, giving her an amazing quality of life and dignity. I can't
speak highly enough of their professionalism and dedication.

Lothian House is a lovely place. I know my dad is being well looked after by all the staff and it is so comforting for us not to worry about his care. As soon as I walked into Lothian House I could tell that it was the right place for Dad.

A big thank you to all the great staff at Lothian House for a fantastic 80th birthday for a dear friend. Her family had to cancel a visit and I was away. The manager gave support and reassurance that the day would go well and it was loved by my friend. From the hairdresser coming in on their day off,
a mayor visit, carers provided a buffet and entertainment and a video call to me to wish them a happy birthday. All possible due to an excellent team at Lothian. Peace of mind is every thing to me and I can say I had this. Thank you for every thing you all do, not just special days, every day, thank you.

Mam was fast-tracked to Lothian very quickly and the transfer from the hospital was excellent. Whilst here she had fantastic care and support and as a family, we have been supported too. Overall, a good experience for Mam and the family.

Lothian House is a caring environment, the staff are extremely friendly and professional. The home is immaculate and the food is lovely. We are delighted with the care that our mum-in-law receives. The atmosphere is welcoming and the staff and management ensure that the health and welfare of their residents
are the top priority. Entertainment is provided and is fun and inclusive. Birthdays are celebrated. Can't speak highly enough of Lothian House.

I am so impressed with Lothian House, not only is it a lovely home but they really care about the residents. They constantly check on Mam, involve her in the activities, make sure she's eating regularly and make her feel so welcome. She has a better quality of life now and has made new friends with
both the staff and the residents. I have already recommended the home to family and friends and will highly recommend it in the future. Five-star service across the board.

From start to finish, Mum's move to Lothian House was exceptional. The staff visited her in her old home, listened to her fears and reassured her.
On arrival at the spotless home, all of the staff visited to discuss her stay and help her settle in.
The catering is outstanding, as well as "events"
and activities.
All of the staff go above and beyond!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.873)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.873) out of 10 for Lothian House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 50 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 49 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 4.873 for Lothian House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (535 Excellents x 5) + (54 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 597 Ratings = 4.873

  • 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 Lothian House Care Home is based on 49 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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, which has been reached with 49 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.
