There is no date in particular. Mum moved into Forth Bay in August 2016. Since the day mum walked in she has been happy. The staff are fantastic, the head nurse/sister is 1 in a million. She talks us through everything mum get up to/or has been up to.
My sis and I have also gotten to know residents
and staff and mum gets taken to pubs for a sing-along. She goes out at Xmas for lunches etc. Lots I would recommend Forth Bay to anyone.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.296)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.296) out of 10 for Forth Bay Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 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 4.348 for Forth Bay Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (69 Excellents x 5) + (47 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.348

  • 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 4.948 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Forth Bay Nursing Home is based on 11 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 58 registered maximum number of service users is 11.6. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.6 = 0.948

  • 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.

Fiona Day

Job Title: Registered Manager

Joined: 2015

As Manager of Forth Bay, Fiona leads her professional staff team in providing the highest level of residential and nursing care and support for those living at the home.


Fiona joined Forth Bay as a newly qualified Staff Nurse in 2001 and has since taken on a number of senior roles including Charge Nurse in 2003 and Deputy Manager in 2006. It is this in-depth knowledge of the home that has equipped Fiona well for the role of Home Manager, where she will be working hard to ensure that those in her care lead happy and fulfilling lives, whilst maintaining choice over the care and support they receive.


‘I strive to give our residents the care and lifestyle they wish to have and endeavour to involve them in every aspect of their care.’

As well as spending time with residents and making sure that they are comfortable, safe and happy, Fiona sees it as an important part of her role to act as a mentor to her team. She firmly believes that a happy, fulfilled and motivated staff team will be in a better position to consistently deliver a high standard of care.


Away from work, Fiona enjoys a range of hobbies including arts and crafts and having lived in the region for over 30 years, she loves nothing more than taking in the picturesque local scenery whilst walking her beloved dog.
