On arrival at Fairknowe, things seemed very busy with the gardens being maintained, which meant parking was fairly limited. Once inside, the staff were very polite and approachable, and the manager had tried to update me on my mother's progress since I was last there. All in all, I am very happy with
what I experienced and more importantly, my mother is happy at Fairknowe.

Relatively small size and number of residents lens to a friendly, family atmosphere. The staff know their residents. The food served looks appealing and well-planned. Good activities are planned for residents, and all the staff are friendly, approachable and communicative. Often difficult to get an
answer on the phone. The Resident's lounge is not a good place to meet the family, often loud TV or residents speaking loudly to themselves. No seating for visitors.

Mum has lived at Fairknowe House for a year prior to that she lived with us (she has Alzheimer's Dementia) for 5 years. Mum is so happy content and calm I often wonder if I should have made the difficult decision for her to live at Fairknowe House sooner. Anytime we visit (and we don't give prior notice)
she is clean, smiling, well dressed, and her room is spotless as is the rest of the Care Home.

Reply from Lorraine Douglas, Home Manager at Fairknowe House Care Home

Thank you for your lovely review of our happy home, I am delighted that your mum has settled in well and is happy with our services as we continue to strive towards continuing to provide excellence in the care we provide, your comments are very much appreciated. Kind regards

Overall care, very happy with. However, Mum still has only one hearing aid. Her left one was lost a few weeks ago. Have been continually asking for the hairdresser to do her hair on a regular basis but so far no joy!
Telephones are an issue, particularly for relatives who cannot visit on a regular
basis. Telephones need to be working!

I cannot praise the staff more highly for the way in which the residents are cared for and the respect they are shown.
The excellent facilities and special events which are made available for all to see are a bonus.

My mother moved into the Fairknowe House Care Home in March this year. She has settled in quickly which in my opinion is due to the excellent care and attention she receives daily by the staff. I've seen a very positive improvement in her overall in the short time she has been a resident. The staff
have various activities etc. Even styling Mums haor in the mornings even though they are very busy. The staff at Fairknowe are wonderful.

When my Dad took up residence at Fairknowe Care Home he was a medically ill, underweight and confused man. I am really pleased that he has improved during his time in Fairknowe and is now quite content, comfortable, well cared for and relatively healthy for his age. All the Fairknowe staff are friendly
and caring and they make an effort to get to know all the residents and their families personally. My Dad also enjoys the food at Fairknowe.

Current Review Score: 7.5 (7.486)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.5 (7.486) out of 10 for Fairknowe House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.1 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.4 out of 5 from 2 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 4.111 for Fairknowe House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (10 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.111

  • 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 3.375 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Fairknowe House Care Home is based on 2 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 = 3.125

    • 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 8 = 0.25

  • 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.
