As my mum has only recently moved to Kynnaird it is difficult to get a clear outlook of the home. Also with the restrictions. Mostly I am happy with what I see. My mum seems warm and comfortably settled on most visits. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. I am aware that the resident-carer ratio is not
on a high scale which makes carers' jobs harder and so the resident gets less time. More staff would benefit everyone. Regular emails or other means of communication would be welcome also.

I came here to die (brought here by my family on 01.12.2019 but have fully recovered). I am extremely happy here as the staff are very nice and obliging, food is good and premises very clean and tidy. The only downside was covid as we were in lockdown so unable to go out. I now however can at last go
shopping and have meals 'out'. Obviously, I shall be remaining here until I die, but when?

Reply from Elaine Crawford, Care Home Manager at Kynnaird House

Thank you for your lovely positive review. It is so nice to be reviewed by someone who lives in the care home and sees everything that goes on first hand. We all hope you are with us for a very long time to come.

Mum is safe and secure and well looked after. Staff are always very helpful and friendly and very approachable. We are always informed of changes due to Covid and anything related to mum and her wellbeing. Very good to be able to arrange visits inside as outside is not always suitable due to weather.

The staff members are all very kind and caring. Residents are treated with courtesy and their dignity is respected at all times. The food is excellent. My mother would live on soup alone as she always loves the soups. The staff are always cheerful and can have a lot of fun with residents.

Mum feels relaxed and content at Kynnaird House. The team look after her needs extremely well, any changes in her health are immediately acted on, there is a focus on ways to improve her condition eg. changing her diet to help with undue weight gain, medications to address conditions. Mum responds well
to interactions with the team who are all attuned to her unique personality traits. Any concerns are addressed, good communication between staff and myself as the source of information on Mum's care and wellbeing. The team evidently work hard to ensure the best entertainment for residents at all times.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.701)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.701) out of 10 for Kynnaird House 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.701 for Kynnaird House is calculated as follows: ( (143 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 187 Ratings = 4.701

  • 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 Kynnaird House is based on 16 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 41 registered maximum number of service users is 8.2, which has been reached with 16 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.
