This is an excellent care home. From day one of my mother's stay at Linlithgow Care Home the standards experienced were outstanding. Staff were always attentive, caring and committed. My mother spent her final days here and died at the home in March 2017. The care and respect afforded her was outstanding
as was the relationship of staff and our family. I cannot thank all staff and management enough.

My mother-in-law moved in February 2016. She was a little hesitant for the first few weeks. As time went on she was happier and after having lived in her house on her own for such a long time began to chat with carers and residents. It was a wonderful change seeing her go on outings, doing knitting,
singing in the choir.
The staff are fantastic visiting morning or afternoon they are very attentive and happy to help. Being able to catch up with the nurse can also put our minds at ease. 10 our of 10 in my book.

The care my gran received in the last few days of her life was exceptional. All staff, from kitchen to domestic to care staff, were caring and attentive. She lived in Linlithgow care home for 3 and a half years and I couldn't fault a single thing. Every person who works in Linlithgow is caring, respectful
and always willing to go over and above to help. My gran had dementia but was extremely comfortable, content and happy in her environment. My whole family will miss each and every member of staff.

Having looked at several suitable care homes, there was no doubt that it had to be Linlithgow Care Home for my mum and dad whom I moved down from Inverness. The environment and ambience of the home say it all along with the excellent support from the staff. Despite them both being very poorly, it was
always uplifting visiting them in Linlithgow Care Home.

Since my mother came into this care home we have found the staff to be very warm and friendly. Their care to my mother herself has been excellent and nothing seems to be too much trouble for them. The home is purposely built which was an instant attraction to accommodate my mother, as her safety and
welfare is paramount to us. The home itself is spotless and there is always something for the residents to do if they wish to take part. This care home is carefully thought our and run and is to be highly recommended for its care and nursing staff.

Dad moved into the care home and was a little unsettled to begin with, as I was myself. Staff helped to reassure my dad, myself and the rest of the family and my dad appears settled and I am extremely happy with the warm welcome my dad received when he arrived at the care home.

My Mum moved into the home at the end of May 2016. From the very minute she arrived, she was supported and encouraged to do as much as she could for herself. The manager and all the staff are excellent and we found that they always knew what she liked and how she had been each time we visited.


The

home is very clean with good quality furniture and fittings throughout. There are lovely lounges for residents and visitors to use and the entertainment staff have a wide range of activities on offer. Mum seemed to enjoy the variety and quality of food on offer.


Sadly Mum's heath deteriorated (nothing to do with the home) but the nursing staff and local doctor involved us fully and kept us very well informed. In her last days, she was safe, comfortable and surrounded by compassionate and caring staff who made every effort to maintain her dignity.


The photos on this website do not do it justice as it has been refurbished to a very high standard.

Very pleased with overall service. Problems with my mum adjusting to move and with interacting with other residents handled really well by the staff. Care home very clean and tidy. Food appears a good variety and tasty. Care home were able to resolve issues with mum's current medication to ensure that
she is much more relaxed and sociable.

My first impressions of the home as a clean, tidy and fresh place for my mother to live have been borne out in practice. The manager encourages swift action when we have questions or concerns and these are normally dealt with promptly and satisfactorily. My mother has become more alert and more mobile
since arriving thanks to the entertainment and exercises on offer (and her own persistence). I have overall been very pleased by what I have seen.

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.
