I've been visiting my aunt at Etive House for over a year, and at each visit, the staff have been so welcoming. My aunt looks so much better than when she was at home. Great home and great staff team. The manager is very approachable.

My mother's care is exemplary. She is very happy and comfortable. She is very fond of the staff, and they are very attentive. My mother regularly comments on how good the food is.
With regard to her well-being, her weight and eating are being regularly monitored. In the event of a medical condition,
action is swift.
Communications are excellent, with regular updates provided in the event of a medical condition.
Visiting is a delight, and it is clear that the staff like her, which makes for my own feeling and satisfaction that she is being well cared for.
My mother is deaf and blind makes caring more problematic, but it is dealt with well. Hence I have not rated Activities.
I have only one criticism, and that refers to my mother's three pairs of shoes being rendered unfit for wear due to them having been washed. Despite assurances that they would be replaced, we are still waiting!

From the outset, the care and professionalism at Etive House have been second to none. Wonderfully warm staff and efficient service, lovely food and clean surroundings make for real peace of mind for us friends or families of residents. I was very struck by the tactile approach of the staff, showing
warmth, love and care to my friend and other service users. The residents are so well looked after and are treated with respect and as individuals, not just numbers. The residents are not rushed if they suddenly feel the need to sing a song mid-way through some hands-on care or as they are helped to dinner, and some of the staff may even join in!


I am so grateful that Etive House is in our area, as I can visit my friend and know that when I have to leave, she will be cared for and be having a rather good time. Well done to all staff and management at Etive House. You should be very proud.

My mum became a resident at Etive House in January 2022, when restrictions due to Covid were still alive and kicking. From the outset, my husband, my daughter and I sensed a great spirit within the home. The staff, led by the lovely manager, made sure that my previously extremely independent mum was
supported through the weeks and months, till she settled into this new way of life. The staff are all experienced in dealing with dementia and show great understanding in this area. Physical needs are also dealt with efficiently. They appear to have a great relationship with the practice. My mum has had GP input on a number of occasions and there are regular visits from district nurses. Recently, two carers took my mum to a very special event which was so important to her. Our whole family was touched by this level of care and attention. Food is excellent, rooms are comfortable and we feel secure in the knowledge that my mum is well looked after at this time in her life.

My Mother was a resident at Etive House for 4 years. The care she received was exceptional. All the staff were so caring and warm and friendly. We developed a relationship with them all which was rooted in trust. They were all so committed and kept the family well informed with everything in relation
to my Mother's care. My Mother was very happy there and felt safe and loved. We were all made to feel so welcome and part of the Etive House family when we visited.

My mother spent the last 4 years of her life at Etive House Care Home. The staff were excellent, extremely caring, and made my mum feel at home. This was very comforting for the family. The staff worked well as a team and were always motivated at work and this created a positive atmosphere. When we
talked to the staff it never felt like they were just doing their job, it always felt personal, they truly did care. Thank you.

We cannot recommend Etive House Care Home enough, my father has been there for 18 months now and he is much happier there than he was at home. The staff are exceptional and treat my dad like a member of their own family, they go out of their way to make a happy day for the residents, making sure they
are entertained and kept occupied. My dad loves the food and gets ample amounts of tea all day to which he loves and he has put on weight and he is much more mobile. He enjoys everyone’s company when he walks about all day with his personalised trolley the staff so kindly provided for him. The staff always keep you updated on anything we need to know and it’s never a bother to ask them anything anytime day or night. Etive House Care Home is a home from home and would 100% recommend it to anyone looking for family members to be in such safe caring hands.

Highly recommend Etive House. Fantastic staff, all so friendly and helpful who work together as a great team. Staff were so good to my aunt in the time she was there and gave her end-of-life palliative care. Staff were always caring and kind and always contacted me with updates. I felt my aunt was safe
and well looked after, especially as I don't live nearby, so wasn't always easy to visit and also more difficult during covid. A big thank you to management and staff.

Well organised, well managed, and truly caring staff, all work together harmoniously, in this residential home, so that my father, and the other residents, have the best quality of life in their twilight years.
My dad, who has problems with his memory, was treated with respect and consideration for
his wishes, and it was just as if he were a member of their family.
It was a joy to see his delight in getting a chance to garden again and for him to laugh with the carers as they shared a joke.
This was during the pandemic, with a lot of stress around for our family about Dad, and their care and communication with us as a family was excellent. I am so grateful for their help.

My mother went into Etive House Care Home in December 2020 straight from the hospital. She has settled in fairly well considering we are in a pandemic and visiting only started in March. Her mobility has greatly improved, and she has put on 5kg in weight and just looks so much better. I believe this
is largely due to all the caring, efficient and compassionate staff who work there. There is a very nice friendly, happy and homely atmosphere in Etive House. Our family was very pleased when our mother was offered a placement here.

My mum became a resident during the summer of this year. While the restrictions were in place we were unable to visit her. We kept in touch by phone and always felt that the staff were happy to update us on our mum's health etc.
Mum took part in the organised craft sessions and movie nights organised
by Etive House. She also loved the dog Breagha and the cats in the home as she always had a cat throughout her life. We felt that they not only cared for my mum but also looked after my dad when he was able to visit. The warmth and genuine care shown to my mum was 10/10. My mum sadly passed away in Etive House last week and the staff were all so tender and loving with my mum and so supportive with us as a family. They work so hard to provide normality for their residents in such strange times and are an absolute credit to Etive House. Mums room looked out onto Ben Lora and the viewpoint at the top. The home is spacious and super clean with very homely features. I recommend this 100%

Reply from Georgina Taylor, Home Manager at Etive House Care Home

Thank you so much for your kind words. It was truly a pleasure to care for your mum, and it was always lovely to see your dad.

My mother-in-law has been in Etive House for just over two years now, and we have found the staff to be exceptional in their care and attention to her.
Praise, in particular, must be given for how they have managed through lock-down, putting their own lives on hold to care for the residents in the
safest way possible, and in the ensuing period of uncertainty, we are in now. We have been informed at every stage what extra measures were being put in place and what the procedures were in terms of being allowed to visit. Thank you very much to all.

My mum became a resident of Etive House in April 2020, just as lockdown took hold of everyone's life. It was a step into the unknown for my very frail and vulnerable mum, and for our family. Four months on, and my mum has settled and becomes accustomed to life in Etive House. Restrictions have meant
that she, being confined to her room like most other residents, has been unable to enjoy many of the facilities the home would normally have to offer, such as social gatherings and outings. My mum has therefore heavily relied on staff to help her through each day, and in this respect, the staff have been wonderful. I phone my mum every day and have never encountered any member of staff who has been anything other than friendly, patient and helpful when I've spoken to them. Equally, the care home manager has been very forthcoming in dealing with our periodic concerns and has acted upon them very promptly. This helps me to feel she is in safe hands.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.736)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.736) out of 10 for Etive House Care Home 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 18 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 4.736 for Etive House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (170 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 208 Ratings = 4.736

  • 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 Etive House Care Home 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 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4, 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.
