  • Barchester Fairview House Care Home, Aberdeen
Fairview House is a purpose-built home that provides 24-hour nursing care for older people, including those living with dementia in the dedicated Memory Lane Community. The highly skilled and compassionate staff work hard to ensure Fairview House is not an establishment, but a home, with high quality care centred around the specific needs of each resident.

Fairview House is conveniently located close to plenty of local amenities and is within each reach of the beautiful Dee and Don countryside. They believe the best way to judge a home is to visit and see how care and support is provided. So please feel free to drop in or give them a call.

The high standards are reflected in all aspects of the home, including hospitality and cooking. The home also has a wonderful and varied activities programme, centred around the needs and interests of residents. The home provides concerts and church services every month and has daily programmes of activities, such as bingo, crafts, a beauty group and gardening. They also frequently go to coffee mornings in the local community and have regular outings in their minibus.

Fairview House extends a warm invitation for you to visit the home and show you around their facilities.

Dad went to Barchester Fairview House Care Home for respite last August and settled in so well he became a resident. He is very independent and all the staff are so supportive helping and encouraging him when needed. The level of care, activities and cleanliness are of a very high standard and any concerns
are dealt with immediately. Overall, Fairview has a great atmosphere, is very welcoming and all the staff ensure that residents and their families are treated with compassion and respect.

Unfortunately, my experience on my visit was not good. No receptionist on at the weekend, why? I can't find anyone to speak to regarding my concerns regarding the treatment of the person I was visiting at the home, the staff that I had contact with seemed to talk at the resident and not talk with her
and found they seemed unfriendly. I had a look on your website and it looks so lovely and friendly with staff sitting and talking with the residents, that is not what I witnessed on my visit. The basics of caring for people is dignity and respect, which I found lacking.

My Mum is a resident in Barchester Fairview House Care Home. She has been here for over two years now. In the past few months most of the home has been refurbished painted, papered, carpeted, new furniture, new decor. It is looking, smelling and feeling fresh and new. There are now 4 activities organisers
producing up to 60 varied activities per month! (I enjoy coming in to see what's on next). The carers, nurses, the maintenance, housekeeping, laundry staff, the administration team handle up to 100 residents with many and varied special needs. Over the past 2 years I have got to know many of them and I keep discovering deeper layers of skills and sensitivities. They are very dedicated and committed to enriching everyone's lives. They make me feel more than just a visitor, more part of the team, part of the family. Generally those who work in the care sector are undervalued and underpaid. I see them as heroes in our society. Well done. Thanks. Keep up the good work!

My mother-in-law was cared for with dignity, and the staff looked after her so well, but they also looked after me as she was on end-of-life care, which was very difficult as I am her next of kin, but the staff kept me informed on her, so I would like to thank each of them.

Always been made welcome when we visit. Visiting as Mother's birthday. We booked a meal for three of us, it was delicious. The home provided a lovely chocolate cake.
Can't thank everyone enough. My mum loves staying here.

My mother has been a resident for just over one year and I can honestly say that she is in the best form she's been for years. She is extremely well cared for at Fairview, medically, physically, socially and mentally. A heartfelt thanks to all the staff at Fairview for achieving this.

Mixed. Some good features e.g. activities, unrestricted access, some good caring and considerate staff, some rather abrupt some with limited English making communication difficult. Never enough staff so sometimes long waits for attention.

Since moving in in October 2023, my father has settled in well.
The nurses, carers, admin staff have all been professional, approachable and always go above and beyond.
Have to mention one of the carers, in particular - she is always so happy to help and nothing's too much but have to say, all the
carers are friendly and helpful.

The Memory Lane staff have one of the most difficult jobs. One can only praise them all for their patience and care. Our father is not the easiest person and difficult to manage. We greatly appreciate Fairview's approach and understanding. Definitely five-star.

My brother is settling into Fairview well. He has been here a few weeks now and is enjoying the food and enjoying the company of others. There is plenty of entertainment going on throughout the day. He is also enjoying his own space in his room with staff popping in and out to see if he requires anything.
All in all, we are happy with his care so far.

Highly recommend this home, it's been a godsend for my family, taking Mum into the home who's got dementia, she gets all the help she needs, place is perfect, rooms are well furnished, meals are fantastic if there's nothing they like, they go out their way and make them something, and the staff can't
be any more helpful, lots for them to do activities everyday good way to get them to meet new friends, Mum's been in since Dec 2023 but she's settling in.

The staff are very friendly. Lots of activities to keep the residents amused. My grandad seems settled here and we know he’s safe. The staff are very welcoming. The food looks nice. It’s reassuring for the family, knowing that Grandad enjoys it here.

I have seen an improvement overall in the past four weeks. The homes welcoming and the staff are more friendly. The nursing staff are excellent. The corridors in the wings do not have that "distinctive" nursing home smell so often. Overall, quite happy with the care being provided.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.276)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.276) out of 10 for Barchester Fairview 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 18 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 4.402 for Barchester Fairview House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (145 Excellents x 5) + (97 Goods x 4) + (22 Satisfactorys x 3) + (7 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 271 Ratings = 4.402

  • 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 4.874 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barchester Fairview House Care Home is based on 18 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 103 registered maximum number of service users is 20.6. 18 Positive Reviews ÷ 20.6 = 0.874

  • 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.
