Two residents in your care. Very happy with all aspects of their care, stimulation and overall wellbeing. The environment is welcoming and extremely clean and ecstatically pleasing for both residents and family/friends visiting.

My mum has dementia and moved into the care home 6 months ago. She settled very well and I attribute this to the caring staff who treat her kindly and respectfully. She seems contented and happy which I'm sure she wouldn't be if treated otherwise!

The review was handled professionally but with an informal and relaxing approach. The questions and discussion points raised were answered succinctly and indeed our observations noted for future attention.
Overall for a first review and meeting, all parties in attendance i.e care management, social
services and family members agreed that all was very good.

My husband has now been in Linlithgow Care Home for nearly two years. During this time, his mental health ie dementia has followed the course that is expected. He has good days when he is alert, upbeat and full of stories, most of which follow a pattern of buying a new car, new suit etc. Other days
he is quiet but again he can still surprise the family with things in his distant past he can remember. He has a good appetite and a strong heart which serves him well. He is almost totally immobile but his care is so good. He still has some quality of life.

My mother has been a resident of Linlithgow Care Home since 2007. Since that time my father and I have both been extremely pleased with the level of care mum has received. She is extremely well looked after both her physical and mental needs. She receives stimulation in the form of activities, trips
and entertainment, she particularly enjoys the weekly choir. Her every need is met both in terms of food and any medical issues which have occurred and we are quickly informed of any problems.


We greatly appreciate the compassion and caring attitude of all the staff, not just to mum, but to my father and myself as well.

Mum was only in Linlithgow Care Home for 2 and a half months before passing away but I found every member of staff friendly, helpful and very supportive towards me and mum. The staff did everything possible to make mum comfortable and safe. The also work under pressure so days but keep smiling through.
The social occasions were good fun also. I've met some amazing people in Linlithgow Care Home.

A member of staff, social worker, myself son and wife were present to discuss my mother's care and needs within the home.
As a family, we are very happy with the care my mother is getting.
A member of staff from the care home also said that they were very happy to provide the care our/my mother needs.
The social worker also said she was happy for mother to continue to stay long term and a contract between family and the care home would need to be signed.

Linlithgow Care Home provides a warm, welcoming environment for both my mother and her visitors.
The staff did their utmost to keep her safe and well looked after.
After spending time in hospital it was good to see her socialising again.
The staff were like family and they were constant - always
the same faces who knew both my mother and her visitors.
The home was clean, warm, bright and dispelled all the myths of care homes.
Thank you for making my mother's last few weeks comfortable.
We appreciated the quality time we spent in Linlithgow.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.908)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.908) out of 10 for Linlithgow Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 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 4.158 for Linlithgow Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (68 Excellents x 5) + (62 Goods x 4) + (29 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 165 Ratings = 4.158

  • 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 4.75 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Linlithgow Care Home is based on 12 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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.75

  • 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.
