My mother-in-law is very happy at Craighead. The staff are so caring and supportive, and my mother-in-law is well looked after. I can see when she interacts with the staff that she likes them and they are kind and jolly with her. There are many and varied activities to occupy the residents and I know
that my Mother-in-law enjoys the gym sessions in particular. It means a lot to know that she is safe and happy and we are all very grateful for this.

Well what can I say? My mother was in Craighead Care Home from summer 2018 - December 2021. It was bad to adequate. What a turn around the manager has done. The decor is bright and welcoming. All staff are kind, caring, respectful and helpful They are wonderful. Activities are brilliant. Receptionist
on in the hallway is lovely. Once, the worst care home in the local area (for a long time), now its the best, with a waiting list. Well done to the manager and the staff. If only you could have been there in 2018.

My sister is a resident here. I feel very fortunate to have found this particular care home. I visit a minimum of three days a week so I have ample opportunity to see for myself the loving staff show to all the residents. The manager is very enthusiastic and continually looks for ideas to stimulate
residents. My sister loves the variety of musicians and joins in singing. It is very comforting for family to witness. Any suggestion is met, acted on immediately.

Our concerns and fears of how my mother in law would settle in were quickly alleviated by the skill and professionalism of the management and staff. We are kept informed of any issues of health that arise and are made most welcome when visiting. There is a great view over the Tay which is therapeutic
and car parking is never a problem. My mother in law is getting the skillset that we lacked and that has given us peace of mind.

Reply from Jasmine Ali, Manager at Craighead Care Home

Thankyou for your kind words. We are glad that mum is enjoying her stay and has settled in well. She is a delight to look after.

I've been very impressed with every member of the Craighead Care Home team since Mom moved in earlier this month. The kindness and care was evident from the minute she arrived, when the nurse came out to the car to say hello and welcome her in. Everyone (nurses, carers, handyman, laundry, cleaning and
kitchen teams, administrator and manager) has been kind, caring, welcoming, professional and proactive at addressing settling-in niggles. The nurses are wonderful and clearly very experienced caring for people with dementia. The activity coordinators provide interesting, fun, well-structured, dementia-friendly activities every day and they have encouraged Mom to join in. The home is well-maintained and the rooms are bright and cheerfully decorated. Mom has the most wonderful view of the Dundee and the Tay estuary from her window. Craighead has all the ingredients to provide Mom with a lovely, safe and interesting home and I hope she'll be very happy there.

Reply from Jasmine Ali, Manager at Craighead Care Home

Thank you for your kind words and we are delighted that we have made you all feel welcome and comfortable. My team and I believe in being kind, respectful and are passionate of our vocation. Its a delight to look after mum and we always look forward to your next visit.

Myself and family are so happy with Craighead care home. Moving mum into care was a huge and stressful decision especially as we knew mum did not want to go into a care home. Mum has now been living in Craighead for a month and it was absolutely the correct decision. Mum is so happy and she settled
very quickly, there are many activities for her to take part in and always lots of encouragement from the staff. She looks so well looked after. The staff always look happy and enjoy their work, when I visit Mum, is always hugging the staff and talking so fondly of them as if they were her friends.
I do not live locally so seeing Mum on their social media page is great. Staff have always kept me updated and communicated well, we are always greeted and updated when we visit.
I couldn't have asked for a better care home for Mum and I am so grateful for all the amazing staff at Craighead.

I am very pleased with the care my husband receives at Craighead. The staff are marvellous, so caring and kind. They are very pleasant and you can see in their faces that they enjoy what they do. It's like everyone is part of a family. It was a stressful time having to find a care home for my husband,
worrying in case he didn't get good care or that he wouldn't settle. Our worries were soon allayed. We can see on our visits that he is well cared for, well-fed, and is very happy and content, which gives our family peace of mind.

Having moved here to Craighead in May, she is so much happier and settled. There are many activities to keep her happy and occupied, and she enjoyed the food. It gives us so much peace of mind to know that she is being well cared for, safe, secure and happy. The difference in her from sitting at home,
isolated and repressed to where she is now is like chalk and cheese!

I am pleased that my relative is at Craighead. All the staff deserve a medal for their dedication and all the hard work they do. Every time I visit, they are always pleasant and friendly, and you can see how they care so much for the residents and treat them with dignity and respect. They interact well
with the residents - they play games, provide them with various forms of entertainment (bingo, gardening, candle-making, singing, music and dancing, to name but a few) as well as taking them out for occasional day trips on the bus. Three meals a day are provided, which must be good because my relative eats everything given! Craighead provides secure accommodation, which gives us peace of mind. The bedrooms are adequate with a bed and some furniture, with a private toilet and sink. My relative is content and has not once asked to go 'home' since being a Craighead resident. Thanks again to you all.

My Mother has been in Craighead Care Home, Newport-On-Tay since July 2022. I have found the standards to have certainly improved since she moved in. The staff are caring and helpful and there is an abundance of activities in place for the residents to enjoy. The home is clean and tidy and the residents
are well cared for. I would not hesitate to recommend Craighead Care Home to those who are looking for long-term care. I have only given satisfactory below, for value for money as I feel the monthly fees are very expensive, especially as my Mum self-funds.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.811)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.811) out of 10 for Craighead Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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 4.811 for Craighead Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (341 Excellents x 5) + (55 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 407 Ratings = 4.811

  • 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 Craighead Care Home is based on 34 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 56 registered maximum number of service users is 11.2, which has been reached with 34 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.
