Feel the home could do with a good revamp. Some of the rooms are in need of brightening up. The food is varied but there is always something, even a sandwich. The carers are very hardworking and very pleasant.
The activity team, "pink ladies", are absolutely fantastic with the residents, they always
have them doing something fun or days out. There's nothing these four ladies won't do for the residents. 100% my favourites. I am concerned about the security.

My relative is happy.
As a family, we are fairly happy but upset that my relative's clothing is missing. Her appearance is, therefore, poor at times. Be helpful if a member of staff would take responsibility for her clothes.

We are happy with my aunt's care at Barchester Four Hills Care Home. The only problem we have is that her clothes have gone missing in the laundry and we have spent a lot of money replacing them.

Security is better as the main door now locked and have to have a code!
Activities - could be more of them and to keep to the calendar. (Mostly cancelled - changes or my mother-in-law isn't involved). Yes, she has vascular dementia but she loves company! Feel the staff in the lounge should involve
themselves more with the residents. Most of the time they are sitting watching rubbish TV whereas they could get involved in wee games/chats/talks.

Reply from Barchester Four Hills Care Home, The Feedback Team at Barchester Four Hills Care Home

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with us. Sadly we have had an occasions recently where a planned entertainer who was scheduled to come to the home had to cancel last minute, we understand how disappointing this can be and our activities team will always try to replace the planned activity for something else as quickly as possible. Getting to know individual preference of what residents like to do during their day is important to us, if your mother-in-law has a particular activity which she would like to take part in, please share this with the team as this will allow our team to factor this into their timetable where possible. Kind regards, Barchester's Customer Feedback Team.

My husband has been in Barchester Four Hills Care Home just over two years. The care he receives in Firhill unit has been great. Also, the staff throughout the care home are very pleasant, they go out of their way to acknowledge my husband when they pass by and I love the smile it brings to his face.

My father has been in Barchester Four Hills Care Home for a few months now. Within the unit, he has established great relationships with most workers, especially four members of staff, in particular, who are led by the unit lead. These members of staff seem to go the 'extra mile' to ensure the needs
of my father are met. Such dedication gives my brother and I peace of mind concerning my father's well-being.

As a family, we are very happy with the care our relative has received. She is settled and seems happy. The carers are all lovely and friendly and we feel welcome.
Our only complaint relates to the laundry. Dozens and dozens of items of clothing are missing. We cannot afford to keep replacing these
missing items. We regularly see her wearing ill-fitting clothes that are not hers. This is unacceptable as she has always taken pride in her appearance and has lots of lovely clothes that are now missing.

Reply from Eleanor Wilson, General Manager at Barchester Four Hills Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to review our service. I am pleased to see that you your aunt has settled in the home. I will ensure that your concerns over laundry are addressed, please do not hesitate to speak with me when you are visiting your aunt.

My dad has been a resident in Barchester Four Hills Care Home for a number of weeks now, he is getting a high level of care. Staff are great, the head of unit is so caring and helpful, as most of the staff are. I have noticed my dad is looking much better, he is treated with respect as we are. Entertainment
staff are brilliant. It's such a relief for us, as a family, to know he's getting good care with the clinical lead and staff.

I am very grateful for the cheerful, caring and supportive help provided whilst I have been in hospital for major surgery. The design and layout at Barchester Four Hills Care Home is very pleasant and the welcoming reception area with comfortable seating, where coffee and cake are available is a real
plus.

My dad has been a resident in Four Hills for three months, following a lengthy hospital stay and a quite sudden deterioration from independent living to needing to be looked after.
The staff at Four Hills have been great on all fronts from the beginning.
The lady who showed my brother and me around
was informative and was frank about some areas needing to be decorated, this is ongoing and has been happening since my dad has been there too.
Dad is a resident in the Lambhill unit; the manager and all nursing staff, the healthcare assistants, and the domestic staff are a very good team.
The manager, nurses, and healthcare assistants have provided excellent care, and my dad is looking and feeling better and stronger since arriving.
There have been a couple of times he’s not been happy with something and it’s been dealt with quickly and sensitively.

My disabled sister was admitted after years of care at home. She was very poorly when she arrived but has since made remarkable improvement thanks to all the care she receives and all the homemade food that is prepared. She was very withdrawn but now enjoys all the activities. She is very well looked
after by all the dedicated staff.
We, as a family, feel she is now in a safe place. Thanks to you all.

Reply from Eleanor Wilson, General Manager at Barchester Four Hills Care Home

Thank you so much for taking the time to review our service. I am so pleased to see that your sister is doing well, long may this continue. Joining in all the activities is so important in maintaining her well-being and so glad that she is taking that opportunity to do so. If there are any other activities that you consider your sister would benefit from, please do not hesitate to speak to myself or any one of the activity team. I will be sure to pass on your comments to the team here at Four Hills.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.626)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.626) out of 10 for Barchester Four Hills 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 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 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 4.626 for Barchester Four Hills Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (295 Excellents x 5) + (97 Goods x 4) + (24 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 420 Ratings = 4.626

  • 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 Barchester Four Hills Care Home is based on 36 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 120 registered maximum number of service users is 24, which has been reached with 36 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.
