Overall pleased with the care in the home. Because there have been no events organised during January, I feel the residents are not getting enough stimulation - this should hopefully change as a new events organiser has just started!

Reply from Cameron, Bayview Care Home rep at Bayview Care Home

Thank you for your feedback. We're really pleased to hear that you're happy with the care at Bayview! We completely understand how important activities and social events are for keeping residents engaged and stimulated. January can sometimes be a quieter period due to all the excitement over Xmas and New Year, a time for relaxation and reflection. But to that point, we're excited to have our new activities coordinator on board, and there are lots of great activities planned for the coming weeks and months. We truly appreciate your patience and look forward to seeing our residents enjoy a variety of engaging experiences soon.

My sister has Alzheimer’s/dementia. Initially, she was in a home elsewhere, but the care and attention towards the residents was not what I expected, so in August last year she was transferred to Bayview. The care she is receiving at Bayview from all staff is so much better, that she settled in so quickly
and seems much happier. The staff are all very friendly towards residents and visitors. The management and nurses always keep me informed on my sister’s health and care. The accommodation is good and well-maintained. To date, I have great respect for all involved in the running of Bayview Care Home in Cruden Bay.

This care home is looking after our mum well, it is not easy to talk with Mum but she does tell us she likes this place and she is happy here. The care home is a bit away from the three of us and we don't see the everyday things that go there, but she is happy and it's for her.

Both my parents became residents of Bayview Christmas 2021. They had differing needs but were cared for and looked after by all the staff. In the early stages difficulties were addressed and resolved, resulting in both settling well into their new home together. Sadly Dad passed away Christmas 2022.
Mum continues to be a resident at Bayview, she is well cared for, very settled and content. The staff are always welcoming when I visit, and I am kept well informed of Mum's needs and any medical concerns. There is a range of activities, and the resident's wishes are always sought to the best of the resident's ability. The food looks excellent, I often visit at afternoon tea and cake time! Bayview is very homely, and it is good to always recognise familiar staff.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.545)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.545) out of 10 for Bayview Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.545 for Bayview Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (101 Excellents x 5) + (70 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 176 Ratings = 4.545

  • 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 Bayview Care Home is based on 14 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 14 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.
