My father has been in Cochrane Care Home now for 2 months. I have been very happy with the care given to him. The biggest positive I have seen is from all the staff. From the manager and all the people I've met who all seem to really care about my father's wellbeing. Everyone seems to show a lot of
kindness and support.

Cochrane Care Home is excellent for residents who need help with their daily needs later in life. Staff are excellent/patient/helpful and very friendly. Cochrane Care Home entertain residents very well, manages everyone's interests, and also tries to get everyone to take part. Residents' rooms can be
done up to make them more feel like home.

I wish to commend the care my husband received, due to severe mobility issues following a devastating stroke which left him unable to function daily without a great deal of help and care. The staff at Muirshiel Unit were exceptional in kindness and patience at all levels, assisting him with food and
drink as he was rarely out of bed and his care included a great deal of time and work for all of them, even getting to know his preferences and respecting him at all times. His end-of-life care was second to none for both of us.

I must thank Cochrane Care Home for the care and duty they gave to both my father and mother whilst they were residents in the home. Living in Glasgow I knew the care my father got and when my mother entered I had no problem travelling the miles as I knew she was in good hands. Thank you.

My dad has been in the Muirshiel Unit in Cochrane Care Home for 9 months now and I am delighted with the care he receives there. He settled in well and is very happy, visiting him is a joy. The staff are kind and patient with him and have taken time to get to know him and his likes and dislikes. They
are always available and willing to discuss his needs. He also loves the activities, which are regular and varied, particularly if there’s dancing involved!
Moving him into Cochrane Care Home has given me peace of mind that he is happy and well cared for.

My mum was in Cochrane care home for three months and recently moved but this was due to the location to have her closer to family. During her time she was cared for by wonderful staff who took the time to get to know her. The staff are led by a manager who has her residence staff at the heart of everything.
It was a fairly stressful time moving my mum but the staff were professional, kind, compassionate and kept my mum and her needs at the centre at all times.

Safe, caring and respectful are a few descriptions of the excellent staff in the unit looking after Dad. Always welcoming to family and visitors. After a short illness, at age 92 years, he passed away with dignity and his family at his bedside. Carers and nurses were most attentive to his and visiting
family's needs at a difficult time. A heartfelt thank you to you all.

My mum is currently living at Cochrane Care Home, she loves it there and is very well looked after. The staff are amazing, they clearly all love their jobs because there is a lovely atmosphere around the place. We know when we are not with Mum she is well looked after and the staff go above and beyond.
We can't thank them enough. They are also very supportive and caring towards the families. We just appreciate everything they all do.

Mum fell in her house and was in the hospital for six weeks. We knew she couldn't go home. Helped Dad choose a nearby home. Mum went from hospital to Cochrane Care Home during lockdown in September 2020. We could not visit either the hospital or the home.
Keeping in touch with Cochrane House, they
gave us updates, Mum had settled in well.
The kind and caring staff has given Dad peace of mind, Mum is safe, happy and content.

My mother has had continual chest infections these past few months and as always the staff have been very much on "the ball" and have contacted the medical professionals very promptly. An ambulance has attended three times and she was admitted to hospital for an overnight stay. On the third occasion,
they have also sourced antibiotics from GPs. We couldn't be happier or more grateful for the care and attention shown to her by all the staff in her almost thirteen-year stay.

I wanted my wife to be looked after in a care home as she would be looked after at home. I think she gets that at Cochrane Care Home.

Dear A B, thank you for taking the time to write this kind review. It certainly is our aim for our care homes to be a home from home for all our residents and we're glad you feel that way about your wife's care. Thanks again.

I cannot thank Cochrane House enough for the way they have cared for my mum. Especially during this terrible pandemic. She is coping really well not seeing family just now and it is all to do with the care she receives. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

My wife has been in care now for just over a year. At first, I felt reluctant to let her go but I have every confidence she is being given the best possible care at Cochrane Care Home. The staff from the management onwards, are very alert to the performance of the staff who keep me informed regularly
on my wife. I'm very pleased with the cleanliness and pleasantries of all the staff. The entertainment is also a big bonus, which is thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Reply from Donna Neill, Home Manager at Cochrane Care Home

Hi Kenneth, it has been a pleasure to look after your wife and welcome you to Cochrane this past year. The staff work hard to provide the best level of care and make sure that Cochrane is a great place to live. Thank you for your kind words, it means a great deal to us all that you are happy and content that your wife is well looked after.

The first thing you notice is the friendly, homely atmosphere. My father was very happy here, and although suffering from dementia managed to communicate quite well with the wonderful staff and other residents. As a visiting family, we were always made to feel most welcome and we were happy to be involved
in some of the activities. We shall continue to support the Cochrane Care Home in their fundraising for making our father's time there so comfortable. Many thanks to all the staff.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.524)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.524) out of 10 for Cochrane 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 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 4.678 for Cochrane Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (102 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.678

  • 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 4.846 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cochrane Care Home is based on 11 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 65 registered maximum number of service users is 13. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 13 = 0.846

  • 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.
