My dad was admitted into Bandrum Nursing Home in June this year suffering from advanced dementia. From the very first day right to his last in September, the staff made him feel welcome and comfortable and cared for him as if he was one of their own family. Every member of staff that we met was caring,
professional and nothing short of excellent. They looked after my dad's every need and showed a level of compassion and respect that meant so much to my family - although my dad's condition was difficult for us, we took a great deal of comfort knowing that he was being cared for by such a wonderful team. We cannot thank them enough and they will forever have our heartfelt gratitude and admiration.

I came into Bandrum Nursing Home in 1989 just by chance when my mum noticed an advert in the Dunfermline Press about a revolution in caring for people. We applied and got in. The residents were friendly so were the staff who just like today were always busy as the very sick came first. But got to you
to see if everything is okay. I suppose I and many others can say they've been through thick and thin. Many losses in my family as well as my mum. The home was good about that with support, counselling and care advice. Through the years I developed many interests Church, Pilgrimage to France and holy places in Scotland, England also days out with the home bus runs to interesting places. The cinema, Perth races and Pantomime at Christmas time.

My father was a temporary resident at Bandrum from December 2023 until June 2024. During this time he received the utmost care in a friendly and professional environment. The staff were very considerate of our situation and extremely attentive to my father's needs. I was very impressed by the senior
management team and their consistent support, which gave me peace of mind that my father was in safe hands. All staff without exception were cheerful and polite, and happy to fulfill any request we had. I am very appreciative of what they did for my father during his short stay and have no hesitation in recommending Bandrum as a premier nursing home facility.

I would like to thank all the staff at Bandrum Nursing Home for their care and kindness shown to my cousin since moving from England.
She moved to Bandrum in February after spending months in hospital/care homes in England.
Since moving to Bandrum, she has been welcomed by all staff, she now looks
great, enjoys her regular meals and is now receiving her proper medication on time.
Once again, I would like to thank all the staff at Bandrum for taking great care of her and making her feel so welcome.

Since my mother moved into Bandrum, nearly a year ago, her overall health and well-being have improved significantly.
The staff are great and are very considerate and kind to her.
Unfortunately was no longer able to properly look after herself in her own home, even with care support, but she is in
much better shape now than when she moved in.
Her medical needs are well taken care of, and she rarely has the discomfort and difficulties that troubled her
Also, on any given day at Bandrum, my mother has more social interaction and activity than she had in a month at home, which is excellent for her mental health.
Since settling in, the family is very comfortable knowing the home is looking after her - when we visit, we can see she is now relaxed, not in pain, and less anxious.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Our mum was a resident at Bandrum from Christmas 2022 until she sadly passed away in August 2023 at the fine age of 92.
While she took a wee while to settle in, as a family we were always certain that she was receiving the best of care at Bandrum and she was always pleased to see us when we visited
her. The staff in particular deserve praise for their relentlessly cheery demeanour and the affection and care that they demonstrated towards all the residents – including Mum.
Then, when she was in her final days, their compassion and the attention they paid to her needs were second to none. As a family, we were - and are - unanimous in our belief that she was in the best possible place, given her needs. On behalf of the whole family, we thank Bandrum and all their staff for looking after our mum.

Thank you so much for your lovely review. As always it was an honour to look after your Mum, and your family in those precious months.

For 3 years my brother has been in Bandrum and I'm happy with the care he gets. The staff are very friendly and polite, my mum is in her 80s and visits every week and is also happy with the care to the extent she has said if anything happened to her she knows her son is well looked after which has taken
a lot of pressure of me as she was very apprehensive of going into a care home. A big thank you from his family.

I cannot praise Bandrum Nursing Home highly enough having had a fair amount of care home experiences Bandrum is definitely off the scale.
Walking in the door you are met with a true family atmosphere, staffing levels are brilliant and the staff is always above and beyond the line of duty. My wife has
been in the Bandrum family for over a year now she is so contented and calm which gives me and my daughters so much reassurance she is in the correct environment. Her dementia has robbed us of our mum and wife but the knowledge she is being so well looked after helps so much. Would put Bandrum on top of any list.
Top marks to everyone involved looks like a happy place to work as the staff always smiling and engaging.

I transferred my dad to Bandrum Nursing Home to be nearer to me as he spent 3 years in a care home over an hour away from me and my family. I am so grateful that I was able to visit Dad every day in his final weeks. The care given to him was excellent. The home was very welcoming, the staff always seemed
to be interacting with the residents and the whole environment was calm, with no stress. The carers and nurses always had the time to answer any questions I had. I found the manager most personable and professional.

I cannot articulate how grateful I am for the care that the staff at Bandrum give my mum. Mum has medium/advanced dementia and was moved to Bandrum just over a year ago when we were worried that moving her at all would be hugely disruptive. From the reassurance I was given at a really stressful time
of moving her (her local council refused to cover her existing care home fees when her money ran out), to her everyday existence, I am humbled by the care and attention she receives in all areas of her life. I have never known my mum happier. Ironic that in her previous life, she was never satisfied, and yet now in her dementia world she seems perfectly at ease. The staff are all efficient, friendly and above all fun, caring and attentive to the residents and I have yet to come across anything at all to even remark upon, let alone complain about. I'm so relieved to have found this home. Thank you to all the staff and management.

My Mam recently passed away While staying in Bandrum the management and staff could not have been nicer. Mam had dementia towards the end of her life and although she remembered less and had some problems talking. I was always sure she was being well cared for. She never complained about any part of
the care home, her room, food or care. She might not have known accurately where she was but she was always happy. I am very grateful to all the staff for the consideration shown both to my Mam and my family. Staff were always friendly and helpful and there was always a cup of tea if you needed it.
I chose Bandrum originally for my Mam based on if I would like to stay there and my view has not changed yes I would. If you have never needed a care home before I can honestly say you will be hard-pressed to find anywhere as good as Bandrum. I just hope they have room if I ever need somewhere.

I was very worried about my mum moving to Bandrum. It was during lockdown which meant I could not be there with her to help her settle in. I had absolutely no reason at all to feel worried. Once I was able to see my mum my mind was put completely at ease. She is so much more relaxed and content. She
is always full of chat and song when I see her now. She is definitely receiving the care that she needs and deserves. The staff have all been so helpful and always have time to talk when I call to see how Mum is doing. The surrounding area is definitely another plus point. It is so lovely and peaceful. I definitely recommend Bandrum’s services.

Our experience of Bandrum has been overwhelmingly positive from the outset. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming with a distinctly non-institutional feel which quickly helped our mother feel at home. Mum tends to prefer her own company and is able to spend time in her room reading or watching TV. However,
staff have encouraged her to join in many of the activities laid on by the home, and I think she has surprised herself by how much she has enjoyed them.
We receive regular emails and photos and can check out the Facebook page for the latest news. Bandrum excels at keeping in touch with families, and this has been more important than ever over the course of the pandemic. We appreciate every email and update, and every effort made to enhance the lives of the residents.
Above all, however, it is the staff who make Bandrum the place it is. They truly are exceptional - warm, professional, respectful of individual needs and always going the extra mile - the very heart of this home.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.676)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.676) out of 10 for Bandrum Nursing 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 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 4.881 for Bandrum Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (141 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 159 Ratings = 4.881

  • 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 4.795 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bandrum Nursing 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 88 registered maximum number of service users is 17.6. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.6 = 0.795

  • 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.

Meet the Team (3)

Gillian

Gillian Frickleton

Job Title: Staff Nurse

Joined: 2018

Meet Gillian Frickleton. She is a Staff Nurse in Meadow View, our Special Dementia Unit. She is an RGN (Registered General Nurse). She started at Bandrum in 2018 working with our Younger Adults and then in October 2019 she moved to Meadow View.
Why did you want to become a Nurse? Gillian’s mum was a nurse and from an early age Gillian enjoyed looking at her mums notes and even before starting school knew she wanted to be a Nurse.
What’s changed in Nursing for you? When Gillian started her career there were matrons who followed traditional processes and did things as they had always been done. Now Nursing is more evidence based and person centred. Gillian care we provide in care homes and Bandrum especially is more complex.
How are you coping?
While Gillian doesn’t like to see people ill, she is rising to the challenge at the moment. Out with work she is enjoying her free time to relax. She likes horse riding, walking and gardening. She also has a cat.

I have been at Bandrum for 6 years now and it has to be one of the best places I have ever worked.


A very friendly place with the most helpful staff in all areas.
Of course, the residents make it a joy to come in every day and interact with them so nice.


Our care staff are exceptional and the standards of care are high.


Would definitely recommend Bandrum Nursing Home.

Job Title: Managing Director

Joined: 2002

I have worked at Banadrum since leaving university where I completed a business degree.


I came into the family business and haven't looked back. There is nothing more rewarding than helping people get more out of life through care. I enjoy seeing the residents and staff every day and knowing that we make a difference.


It is hard work but worth it I am also the chair for the Fife branch of care providers and do what I can to support the other care providers and make Fife the best place to provide (and receive) care services
