I am the husband of a resident and I honestly believe that my wife would not be here today were it not for the dedicated care and attention of the staff here. My wife has been here for almost seven years and during the first two years, I had grave doubts about the place and my wife never seemed happy
and did not get out of the bed. Since then my wife has come on leaps and bounds, laughing with staff and singing again, unbelievable! I am extremely grateful, many thanks.

Reply from Alison Geddes, Marketing at Garioch Care Home

My mum has been in the home for 2 years, she is very happy and well cared for. My mum is always dressed appropriately and is always clean and tidy. She enjoys the activities which are very good and well done.
Her room has a good view and is also kept clean. The staff are very pleasant and helpful.

From day one at Garioch, we have all been made fully welcome.
The staff have been so reassuring and patient with Mum.
We had a terrible experience with Mum's previous accommodation and care - Garioch have been truly amazing. The staff care and are so helpful.

My Father has Alzheimer’s and been a resident at the Garioch for nearly 5 years.
I visit several times a week, at various times of the day so I have a broad view of the daily routines and good level of care.
There are regular activities and the enjoyment can be seen on the smiling faces or the rhythmic
tapping of a resident’s hand or foot in time to the music.
There are theme days where residents craft work proudly decorates the lounge and dining room.
There is minibus which my father has used on many occasions to get him safely to his appointments and we are very grateful to the staff for helping out, nothing seems too much trouble.
The staff are professional, focused and have a great blend of enthusiasm and skills.
I have complete confidence in the team and would recommend the Garioch Care Home to anyone.
If you are looking for a care home for your loved one, look passed the score you see on the report, visit the Garioch, speak to the team and see for yourself.

Mum has been at The Garioch for just over a year and she is being very well cared for. There is always a happy, friendly atmosphere and activities are often organised for the residents. Mum's personal hygiene is always of a high standard and staff take care that she is nicely dressed and comfortable.
The bathrooms and day room have recently been refurbished and are now very attractive spaces; mum's room is small but is always clean and has a lovely view over surrounding countryside. Communication between the home and the family is generally good. Mum has settled well and seems very happy.

All the staff cared for mother in a very compassionate way. They always spoke to her and were very reassuring. The medical staff kept a constant watch on her health and wellbeing and were very good in keeping me informed of all health issues. The activities were tailored to suit Mum's capabilities especially
when her ability to hold things decreased. She was always given the choice which maintained a degree of independence when she required ever increasing care. Mother was treated with great care and dignity until she passed away.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.502)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.502) out of 10 for Garioch Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 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 4.702 for Garioch Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (67 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 94 Ratings = 4.702

  • 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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Garioch Care Home is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 37 registered maximum number of service users is 7.4, which has been reached with 8 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.
