Fantastic place which meets my father's needs. Staff are amazing and have made us feel very welcome. Nothing is ever an issue and any requests have been followed up very promptly. My father has settled well and enjoys everything on offer, which in turn has been great for us as a family knowing he is
happy and settled has taken a great pressure off of us.

She's getting the best care I could ask for, as this disease is a very challenging illness.

It’s a daunting thing, having a family member enter a care home and worrying about what it will be like but I’m so relieved that my mum is so well looked after. The staff are always so helpful and friendly, the place is always clean, there’s always activities on and the staff remember you. Knowing my
mum is safe and happy means everything. Thank you so much to all the staff!

When visiting over the past seven months, have been made most welcome by the staff at the door and accompanied to the resident's room. Rooms were well kept but often the bed was unmade but did show linen changed daily. Always fresh clothes daily and clothes well laundered and hung up or returned to
drawers. Staff always had time to take to bring me up to date with any health/medications, activities etc. Staff put on the tv or a DVD for entertainment and switched on the lava lamp for stimulation. I felt the care was really good.

My wife has now been at Rumbling Bridge Care Home for over 4 years. In that time she has been looked after so well it made the guilt a little bit easier on me. The staff are second to none. They always have time for my wife and myself. The home has no cases of COVID-19, which is a real weight off my
mind. They made arrangements for my wife to Skype with my two daughters and myself. I am proud to say my wife is a resident at this care home. I will never be able to thank them enough.

My father joined Rumbling Bridge this year at a time he needed support and so did I. I can't express my feelings and my father's since he has called Rumbling Bridge his home and my additional home. Meals are a delight for him. He enjoys choices and I can also have lunch or dinner with him. Staff are
kind and pleasant, always aware of his and my needs.

My mother has lived at Balhousie Rumbling Bridge for just over three years she is 98. Over that time I have been very impressed by the care she receives. My mum has dementia and we have good days and not so good days but the staff really work hard at supporting her in a very person centred way. Today
was Easter Day and there was an entertainer and mum was joining in with the singing. Everyone got an Easter egg and had Easter Bonnets. It is always nice to visit and spend quality time with my mum and to know too that if they have any concerns regarding her health I will be contacted immediately. I still feel very involved in mum's care and feel that the staff work in partnership with me and are open to suggestions.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.981)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.981) out of 10 for Rumbling Bridge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.981 for Rumbling Bridge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (158 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 161 Ratings = 4.981

  • 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 Rumbling Bridge Care Home is based on 14 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 41 registered maximum number of service users is 8.2, which has been reached with 14 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.
