My dad has been in the Coates Unit for 8 months and has been very well looked after. As his condition has deteriorated, the staff have sought to keep me informed of the changes and strategies to manage his condition. The staff are cheery and professional and happy to give me updates on my dad. I can
see my dad is always clean, the food is of a very good standard and he has the opportunity to take part in activities when he feels up to it. The unit has a homely feel and families are made welcome during visits.

Reply from Paul Lawson, National Sales Manager at Elderslie Care Home

My mum is a fairly new resident at Elderslie Care Home and is taking time to settle but the staff are very supportive and my mum is receiving very good care. She has met a friend and has enjoyed the entertainment provided by the Care Home, visits to the Old Deer Cafe and has visited the hairdresser
on a few occasions

The staff have smiles on their faces as soon as you enter the reception.
The staff in coates unit are able to convey information regarding my mum.
They take time there to have a wee chat with you when their duties allow
I would love to see more qualified nurses on duty who may be in the home and
could look at helping healthcare assistants progress to registered mental health nurses and registered nurses with time off for studies and financial assistance.
I would like to see the carpet lifted and throughout the home as it infection control issue.
My mum is looked after well by the staff here now.
They are very kind to her.
I think the managing director should take less bonus out to invest in the home and the lovely staff who have worked here for a couple of years.

My dad has only been at Elderslie Nursing home for the last week, but in that week the staff have made my dad feel settled and happy and are always happy to answer any questions we have.
Dad is enjoying the company that he didn’t have in sheltered housing and is enjoying the food.
From what we can
see the staff are all kind and helpful and we have no worries that our dad is being well looked after.

I sat with my dear friend of forty years on his last day on earth as Social Work officers presented notice of an eviction order to him. They read out all his misdemeanours and said the order had been given - no reprieve. I asked for a Counsellor or psychiatric help for my friend. Not possible. He died
during the night.

Reply from Paul Lawson, Customer Relations Manager at Elderslie Care Home

My father was admitted to the Chrysler unit in November 2022, and we were always able to visit regularly. He became very poorly at New Year, and the family were able to be with him when he passed away.
The staff were excellent and professional and supported all the family to allow us to be together
at this time. We appreciate all the care he was given and the attendance at his funeral.

Reply from Paul Lawson, Customer Relations Manager at Elderslie Care Home

Dear James, thank you very much for your review, and on behalf of the whole team, our thoughts and condolences to you and the family following your recent loss.

I visit regularly and I cannot fault the service. The care that my Father receives is person-centred and he is given respect and his dignity is upheld. The food is suited to match my Father's dietary requirements and his room is cleaned regularly and is kept tidy, as well as tending to his medical needs.

The home is clean and well maintained, and the staff are friendly, professional and approachable. Best of all, my aunt is happy. She likes the food and the atmosphere. She's no longer neglecting herself because she's getting the right level of encouragement and support. I could not be happier.

The care that my mother receives is excellent. However, the care does not stop there - it extends to the rest of the family. They have called me previously to make sure my dad was ok as he did not make his usual visiting time. They know all the family which is fantastic because it gives them plenty
to talk to with Mum. I have visited a few family members in different care homes and Elderslie is by far the best. There is always a good buzz about the place and plenty of laughter - just like home.

Reply from Paul Lawson, Customer Service Manager Golfhill at Elderslie Care Home

Hello Jani and thank you so much for your lovely review.

Since my mum went to Elderslie she is happy, well looked after. All the staff I have met are brilliant. My mum was very thin after 9 weeks in hospital, very confused and depressed. The staff listened to my concerns and did everything to make mum feel loved and important, she is well-nourished always
clean, and never lonely. I get updates regularly. Can't praise the staff enough.

Coates unit, thank you for taking care of my lovely mum. My mum became a resident of this unit in August, from the first day, she was made welcome, the staff all got to know mum so well, got to know her likes and dislikes. The staff were amazing, put a fantastic care plan together to suit mum's needs,
mum was safe there. Her dementia and health issues sadly got the better of her, and sadly she left them to go to heaven in November. During that time, mum was happy, had excellent care, their communication with myself was outstanding. So humble and appreciative of the staff, when giving your loved one to complete strangers, to see that they unconditionally love and care for your loved one, can only thank them wholeheartedly. Coates unit staff are a great team, I feel blessed knowing these dedicated ladies cared for my mum.

Hello Lynn. On behalf of the team at Elderslie, we send our kindest wishes and deepest sympathy for your recent loss. We will all miss your mum very much.

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a review and best wishes to you and the family.

I can not recommend the Coats unit of Elderslie care home enough. The care, respect and dignity they should our dad, was second to none. It was a very difficult decision for us to put him into this home during the middle of last year. We weren't able to go inside and see the facilities or meet any of
the staff, but for the last few months of his life, they looked after him with such care; we had no worries. They communicated with us regularly, and in the final week of his life, we couldn't have coped without them. Thank you.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a nice review. We are so sorry for your loss, and on behalf of the team in Coates, we feel thankful that you could take comfort that the last few months of his life your dad was being well cared for.

I live in Hong Kong and the main means of contact with my Mum is by telephone. The staff at Chrysler Unit are very good and set up a Skype connection on a video call which is the next best thing to being there. When I call up I am always treated well and given a full update on my Mum’s health and welfare.
My Mum could not be in better hands. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.915)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.915) out of 10 for Elderslie Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 9 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 4.640 for Elderslie Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (78 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 111 Ratings = 4.64

  • 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 4.275 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Elderslie Care Home is based on 9 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 = 3.9

    • 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 120 registered maximum number of service users is 24. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 24 = 0.375

  • 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.
