Northlands Nursing Home is privately owned and managed by an experienced management team specialising in the care of older people and dementia care.

Northlands Manor is a beautiful traditional building with 22 bedrooms all with en suites. The Lodge is a purpose-built unit with 27 en-suite bedrooms which specialises in dementia care and has a dementia-friendly garden where residents have access to the outdoors.

Northlands is set in extensive and beautiful grounds with formal and informal gardens and residents can enjoy lovely views from most of the rooms. There is easy access to the Blairgowrie and bus services run within walking distance.

Each bedroom is fully furnished to a high standard and is equipped with a call-bell system, TV point, easily accessible light switches and plug sockets.

There are also a number of assisted bathrooms/shower rooms.

When a resident moves into Northlands they are encouraged to personalise their rooms as much as possible, even down to a choice of wallpaper where chosen and personal furniture is welcome.

The chef and team are committed to providing interesting and nutritious meals. They always offer a wide choice of dishes and the menus are reviewed regularly and can cater for personal favourites as well as a specialist modified diet where needed. All food is ordered twice weekly which allows flexibility.

A highly dedicated, qualified and experienced team, consisting of the manager and staff, ensures that each person is given person-centred care around the clock.

Residents are treated with kindness and understanding and are encouraged to lead as full and independent a life as possible. Individual cultural and religious needs are respected.

Social and meaningful activities are organised for residents, and they are at liberty to participate in these or not; regular outings and entertainment are also regularly arranged.

My father seems to have settled pretty quickly into Northlands and appears as happy as we would expect given his condition. The staff (all) are always friendly and approachable when we visit and appear to have built a mutually respectful relationship with Dad.
If we ever have any questions, the care
team and management are quick to respond and deal with our queries with sensitivity and respect.

Northlands Care Home and staff are simply superb. Daily facing a multitude of challenges and overcoming them with a pragmatic, sensitive and caring response, always primary to the resident's well-being.
Each and every stakeholder in making this home the success that it is... Are unsung heroes in my
opinion. Going that extra mile to achieve a high standard of excellence.
As a family member, I have confidence and great comfort my mother is living well at the age of 85. Simply superb.

Care is second to none. Very caring, considerate and helpful. My husband is always clean and tidy, he eats well and I feel there is always help on hand if he has difficulty feeding himself.
The atmosphere is happy, calm and caring. Most importantly, I feel confident that he is well looked after and
this makes me feel much happier.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.898)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.898) out of 10 for Northlands 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.898 for Northlands Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (176 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 196 Ratings = 4.898

  • 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 Northlands Care Home is based on 17 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 49 registered maximum number of service users is 9.8, which has been reached with 17 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.

Job Title: Manager

As the manager here at Northlands, I have the responsibility to ensure that our care and support is as best as it can be. I believe that as care staff we learn every day and each day is an opportunity to improve and strive for excellence in our care & support for our residents.


I have been nursing all of my life and I continue to enjoy my work every day. I have experience in both the NHS, and in the independent sector specialising in Dementia and Elderly Care. My knowledge and practical experience led to me becoming the Head of Learning & Development at the Dementia Centre (DSDC) University of Stirling working across the UK and Internationally. I have won awards for my achievements culminating in the Mental Health Nurse of the Year Award in 2013 from The Royal College of Nursing.
