I was impressed with the Manager from from my first visit, and Deputy Manger when she came to our home to assess my husband for suitability to the home. I never regretted my decision to choose to agree to him going in, firstly for the 6 weeks respite. During that time it was clear he was better cared
for there and so it became permanent. All staff were so caring and patient with both him and myself that I am so glad he spend his last 6 months in their care. It was a difficult decision to make but I am glad we chose Finavon Court Care Home.

Finavon Court Care Home is a fantastic home with such dedicated staff that really care. Our uncle was made very welcome by the friendly and caring staff. They were understanding of my uncle's needs and very supportive of my sister and me. He was very happy there and was treated with such dignity and
respect. He had a good rapport with the staff as well as management who would often take the time to talk to residents and their families. We were kept up to date with regards to our uncle and any questions were always addressed. We always found the staff very helpful, cheerful and polite. We cannot thank the care staff enough for the care he received whilst there and for the dignified and gentle way they helped us deal with his passing. Such an amazing team.

My uncle was well looked after by all the nursing staff and carers. He made strong bonds with the staff which was a huge weight off my sisters and I. Staff always phoned to keep us updated with any changes in his health and were quick to alert GP if any issues. We were always made to feel welcome to
visit. During the last few weeks of my uncle's life, one of the family was there 24 hours a day and the staff were amazing, always asking if we were ok and looking after his needs. Staff a huge credit to the company.

My dad is very well looked after by the staff. He gets his meals every day and really enjoys his food. We come in about three times a week in the afternoon and feed him his dinner or a pudding. He has a good relationship with the staff, always laughing and joking with them.

Very attentive staff who all are compassionate, considerate and great with myself and all the residents. Very spacious, well accommodating to the residents with a pleasant atmosphere. Every time I've visited, I cannot stress how patient and understanding the staff are and that this care home is very
nurturing to every resident for all their needs.

The first time I visited when my gran was looking for a care home, the environment felt very comfortable, safe and cosy. Whenever we have visited Gran since, the care home has been a great experience. Gran has been happier/healthier overall, much better than she was before coming here, for that alone
I am very grateful for everyone who works here.

I am very grateful to Finavon Court for looking after my husband since August 2023 as it was too much for me at home myself. The staff have been great and welcomed and supported him well, as well as myself. If I have any questions or queries. The only issue we have is his belongings and laundry are
constantly going missing (even if labelled) and we are having to replace them as he ends up with other residents' clothes on.

Reply from Clare Sheehan, Careline Advisor at Finavon Court Care Home

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a review. We are very sorry to hear that we have fallen below standard for our laundry. We have been changing processes in the home to reduce the risk of missing laundry and belongings in the home. Our Home Manager and Head Housekeeper are available to discuss any missing items and concerns that you have.

My long-time friend has been so well looked after and dare I say, loved, by everyone here. They are kind and thoughtful and care for residents and visitors. My friend settled in well and nothing is too much trouble. She has also become friends with many of the other residents. It has been the most special
and best place. I cannot recommend this lovely home enough - everyone wants the best for everyone under their roof. Thank you all so very much.

My husband has been resident for the past 10 weeks and during this time he has settled in well. The staff are very attentive and considerate to him. He enjoys the food and is eating well. His room is comfortable and is cleaned daily so in my view, he is well looked after. They offer various activities,
ie: arts and crafts, music etc. and the residents seem to enjoy these and happy to take part. As a relative it gives me peace of mind knowing my husband is getting the care he needs and is happy and contented.

My Aunt has been a resident of Finavon Court Care Home in Forfar for several years now and I am extremely happy with the care and respect provided to my aunt. My aunt is always smiling and looking good. I appreciate all the efforts that everyone in Finavon Court has gone to over this last year, the
special untold efforts to just keep things going safely but whatever the team have done - they have done it so well. My confidence has never as much as wavered throughout this pandemic with the care and communication from Finavon Court when the phone rings the communication I receive is current, I feel there are no time lapses, the information is precise, I am offered the opportunity to ask questions, I never feel rushed, I value the answers given and I truly trust the information given. I feel that my Aunt is cared for like a family member by the Finavon Court team, which at this time is so precious and invaluable. Thank you does not seem descriptive enough but thank you all!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.727)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.727) out of 10 for Finavon Court 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.727 for Finavon Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (160 Excellents x 5) + (53 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.727

  • 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 Finavon Court Care Home is based on 18 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 18 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.
