We wouldn't hesitate to say that our mum was so happy during her 4 and half years living in St Modans.
Genuinely caring and friendly staff on the floor, always welcoming and helpful. Senior staff are always visible and approachable, always willing to listen and respond to any questions or queries.
As
our mum's life was drawing to a close the care, kindness and love shown to our mum was exceptional, a very peaceful passing with tremendous support for us too as a family.

My husband is a resident of St Modan's suffering from early onset mixed dementia. St Modan's rooms and communal areas are immaculate and the food is excellent. I am always encouraged to eat meals with my husband to sustain social interactions. My husband is extremely well looked after, being supported
with personal care on a daily basis with clothes regularly laundered.
The staff have developed a very positive relationship with my husband and they encourage him to socialise and take part in the varied activities provided. This is especially important to me as I work full time and it's very comforting to know he is so well looked after both socially and medically.
I would also like to commend St Modan's social media page. Our daughters stay abroad and it's great for them to see their dad having fun and being happy.
All staff have been so welcoming and supportive and we cannot thank them enough for the care shown.

Reply from Pamela Geddes, Deputy Manager at St Modans Care Home

Thank you so much for your kind words and positive heartfelt review. We appreciate the feedback and I will ensure that this is passed on to the team. It is also great to hear positive feedback on the social media page and that your daughters can enjoy seeing their dad from abroad. Thank you once again for sharing your thoughts. Kind regards.

My husband is in St Modans Care Home in nursing. He is well looked after he has vascular dementia. I have found the home so very kind to myself as well. I spend every afternoon with my husband and stay for supper. I help with his care at times e.g. toileting, not all the time though only when necessary.
I would recommend the home and care to anyone who asks.

My dad has now been in the home for 3 years. He has excellent care by all the staff at St Modans. He is well looked after, always clean and well cared for in every way. The meals they get are excellent and there is an abundance of food. St Modans doesn't just care for my dad but they have been so good
to us all, always friendly and caring. They care for my mum who is there every day visiting my dad. They would look out for her and are so kind to her as well. A very friendly and homely place to be.

My dad unfortunately recently passed away in St Modans. He was a resident for 8.5 years, initially with my mum until her death in 2021. They were both extremely well cared for, living with Alzheimer's and Vascular Dementia. My dad was 95 years old on his death and I truly believe that he lived till
this age because of the standard of care he was receiving at St Modans. The staff's high quality of care, dedication and professionalism is outstanding. Also, the genuine kindness which myself and my family received from the staff was and will remain very comforting. We are very grateful and give sincere thanks and appreciation to all staff members.

Reply from Julie-Anne Thomson, Home Manager at St Modans Care Home

Thank you so much for sharing your heartfelt review of St Modans Care Home. We are deeply sorry for the loss of your father and extend our sincerest condolences to you and your family. It is truly touching to hear that both of your parents received such exceptional care and kindness from our team. We are honoured to have been a part of their lives and to have contributed to your father's longevity and well-being. Your words about our team's dedication, professionalism, and genuine kindness mean the world to us. We appreciate your gratitude and will pass on your thanks to all our team members, who strive to provide the best care and comfort to our residents and their families. Please know that your family's experience at St Modans will always be remembered and valued.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5

My relative appears to be quite settled at St Modans. She is a very private lady and does not speak much of her experiences in the home. However, she has had issues in the past with a fellow resident entering her room, and this was satisfactorily resolved. More recently, she has been bothered by a gentleman
entering her room, but nothing untoward happened, and I believe this has not been repeated for a couple of months now. We are disappointed with a few things we have noted during our visits - namely - the emergency call button is quite often out of her reach.
The hearing aid (one lost within the home) has been fitted with dead batteries.
Obviously, soiled and no means of contacting staff, refer to the call button comment above. She also does not like bothering the staff, which is another reason why she may be sitting and soiled.
Quite often find her clothes lying on the bottom of the wardrobe.
Above are the reasons for giving the home a satisfactory review - just a few minor issues stop a higher rating.

Reply from Cameron, Care Home Representative at St Modans Care Home

Thank you for sharing your observations and concerns about your relative's experience at St Modans. We take the well-being and comfort of our residents seriously and appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention. We are glad to hear that past issues have been resolved, but we recognise the importance of continuously improving our service. Please be assured that we will address the points you've raised and reach out to you directly to ensure your relative remains comfortable and safe within our home. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us maintain and enhance the quality of our care.

My mum has been a resident in St Modans since April 2023. The level of care provided by the staff is fantastic. The management and staff are genuine, caring people who bring forward new ideas to enhance experiences for the residents. The support groups provided are very helpful and help us to gain further
knowledge and understanding of Mum's diagnosis.
I feel the staff treat individuals with dignity and respect and look after Mum's welfare in a sensitive and caring way. Mum enjoys the entertainment and loves to hear the music being played by local musicians.
The care home has recently been refurbished with new furniture in the sitting area, which makes it look welcoming and homely. The meals are cooked on-site and enjoyed by all.
When I leave Mum, I know that she is in capable hands, and the care home becomes part of our family too.

Reply from Cameron, Care Home Representative at St Modans Care Home

Although I have put in the month of November, this is a review overall. My experience and see this in staff are very aware of their service user needs conditions. If there is anything wrong with my family member, I am informed right away. I get to visit and assist with meals. I am always treated well,
with respect and my family members. If you need to bring up something, they are there to listen. Then put forward if needed. If issue, they listen, and it is dealt with. I find it hard as my family member is nonverbal mostly, and most times does not know me. Staff always make me feel comfortable and welcome and understand this

St Modans Care Home is a very pleasantly decorated building. The resident's bedroom is compact, and the toilet area is small, which must be difficult if a resident needs the assistance of one or two staff. Christmas and Boxing Day were made special by the kindness and support of the staff. I feel that
St Modans assets are the staff, who are always helpful and kind and seem genuinely happy to care for the residents. There needs to be more staff. The love and support shown by all the staff to my dad each day when he visits is superb. Thank you.

In my experience of visiting or phoning the care home, everyone who I have seen/phoned has been more than helpful. From the staff in the office to the staff on the floor, any problems I have had have been dealt with, either straight away or for the next time I visited. Staff have always phoned if there
have been any problems or to inform me regarding flu jabs/dentist.

My dad has been in St Modans for nearly a year now. It was a difficult transition from his own quiet house to settle into the busy home setting. It took a good few months for everything to settle down. The staff were excellent with both Dad and myself, very reassuring. They are very supportive to me
and always take the time for a chat and answer any questions I have. They always listen to any of my concerns and follow up if needed. They always try to fit Dad's routine round him, not fitting him around theirs. They contact me if Dad has a fall or is ill to keep me updated. The food is very good and Dad has gone back to eating a healthy diet, he just used to eat a tiny amount or snack when he was still in his own house. There is also weekly entertainment for the residents in the lounge, should they wish to go along and listen to the music. I have no concerns at all about about the care Dad receives, which makes it so much easier for me.

    The Average Rating of 4.760 for St Modans Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (198 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 250 Ratings = 4.76

  • 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 St Modans Care Home is based on 20 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 65 registered maximum number of service users is 13, which has been reached with 20 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.
