Since arriving at Kirknowe in late December 2024 I have settled into the care environment. I have been given the regular opportunity to socialise with other residents and staff who have all been very supportive since my arrival. I am much more positive in my outlook with the set-up and am pleased with
the kind caring attitude given to me by all staff. My personal care and medical needs are being well met and I am beginning to make improvements with my mobility. Kirknowe has been a very positive choice for me and my family.

Mum was in Hazelbank for four months until she passed in January. From the moment we walked in to Hazelbank we were struck by the homely ambience and we knew mum was going to be happy. She was cared for by the staff with compassion and dignity which was extended to include the family. We cannot put
into words our gratitude for the outstanding care mum received. Thank you to you all for going above and beyond.

My mum Helen was a resident in Hazelbank till she sadly passed away in January. I could not have wished for a better team to have looked after her while she was there. The care she received was fantastic the staff became her second family and myself and the family will always be grateful to them for
the care they gave my mum.

My mum resided at Kirknowe for approximately 18 months and during that time, the care received was exceptional. The staff were caring and attentive to Mum, providing the family with peace of mind. The home had lots of activities and entertainment, with the residents clearly enjoying these. I cannot
thank the staff enough for their support and compassion to my mum and our family during my mum's stay, especially during the last few weeks of her life.

Words cannot express what the staff at Kirknowe have done for my wee dad. My dad had been left to lie in bed for 5 months by the NHS but the staff at Kirknowe have had him sitting up and helping him to walk again. The staff are excellent and they are superheroes without capes. I cannot thank them enough
for their support and time they have spent with my dad.

Mum's new home from February 2024 to her sad passing in May 2024 and she absolutely loved it. All the staff in Kirknowe were amazing, they were wonderful with Mum and treated her with nothing but kindness and respect. It was kept spotlessly clean and Mum said the food was fabulous.

Dad was a resident in Kirknowe Care Home from September 2022 until his passing in August 2023. During that time the care he received was exceptional. Not only was he looked after but they also looked after us as a family. I would highly recommend them to anyone and still do.

In the short time my dad lived at Kirknowe Care Home, Kirkfieldbank House, we have as a family been very happy with the care given. All the staff, whatever their role, showed him compassionate personal care. They worked tirelessly and tried to suit his needs as much as they could from changing mattresses
to his dietary needs. The home itself is a very welcoming place and the grounds are well looked after. The way he was looked after lifted a great weight off our shoulders. So thank you all.

Every time I visit my dad I am welcomed in and the staff cannot do enough for me or my dad. I discussed this review with my dad and he rated the options below. The staff treat my dad with dignity and respect and do not rush him even though his mobility is bad. The staff are also very friendly. They
also engage the residents in singing and dancing so there is always a happy atmosphere.

The overall facility is excellent, from the staff in the office to all staff within the Kirkfield Unit. The decor, rooms and activities provided exceeded the expectations when my mother arrived. Her personal care has improved 100%, and her health also. I can say I cannot fault the care home in any way.

My Mum had been in the Hazelbank unit of Kirknowe for 6 years. I cannot express my gratitude for all the staff that has cared for her over the years. Hazelbank was her home and the staff were her family.
I will be forever grateful for the love and care they gave to her. The dignity they gave to her,
especially in her final days.
I will miss them all and I would not hesitate in recommending this care home.
And if my Mum was still here she would say exactly the same.

My mum, resided here for just over a year, the staff are caring, kind and just amazing in the Kirkfield Bank bungalow, always willing to go that extra mile for anyone. Our family cannot praise or thank them enough for all they did for Mum. From keeping her days active to giving her the ability to walk
again, and use the toilet again, all things that the hospital had taken from her along with her dignity. Please let the staff from management to cleaners know how much we appreciated them. A carer is a very understated and underpaid role for these angels who deserve so much more. Especially one lady, my mum's football buddy, or night shift who brought their dogs in on days off to see her.
We appreciate each and every one of you, thank you all so much.
We will never forget the peace of mind you all gave her family.

My dad moved into Kirknowe Care Home in October last year and we were very apprehensive as a family about how he well he would settle. We needn't have worried as the staff have been nothing short of wonderful and managed to connect with my dad straight away. He is safe and happy, even when he is having
a grumpy day the staff are brilliant with him. They are kind, compassionate and they all have a great sense of humour, which goes a long way in making my dad feel at home. We really are so grateful as a family for the care shown to my Dad from everyone at Kirknowe and we wouldn't be without them.

My mum has been a resident in the Kirknowe Care Home since December 2020 when she was admitted at the height of Covid restrictions. She was very confused especially as she had to isolate and then wasn't allowed visitors. Thanks to the dedication and professionalism of the staff she eventually integrated
into the unit, and latterly, looked on it as home. Over her two years residency, any issues I raised were dealt with speedily. Sadly, Mum passed away on the 5th of January after going downhill quickly. The care she received in her final days was superb and allowed her to pass away with dignity and without hospitalisation. My family cannot speak highly enough of all the staff - not just the care staff although they were special - we are indebted to them.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.808)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.808) out of 10 for Kirknowe Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 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 4.919 for Kirknowe Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (171 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 185 Ratings = 4.919

  • 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 4.889 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kirknowe 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 90 registered maximum number of service users is 18. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 18 = 0.889

  • 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.
