My mother was at Highlands Borders for 7 years and although she had dementia, always said that the carers were lovely. I could see that for myself. She was beautifully looked after. The home always seemed a happy place. The staff were attentive to her needs and always kept me updated. They acted with
professionalism and compassion, always treating her with the greatest respect. I felt so lucky to have peace of mind and the care she received in her final days was exemplary.

My Mum was asked to leave the care home by management because I made a complaint to safeguarding regarding bad falls not being informed and them not knowing how it happened. Residents are left to soil in a bed when they don't have their two main carers to take them to the toilet.
Nails not being clean
and cut to the point it causes a fungal infection. Same evening meal every day with no choice. Staff cannot fault but cannot say the same for management. This care home should be investigated so it does not keep happening.

Current Review Score: 6.6 (6.554)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 6.6 (6.554) out of 10 for Highlands Borders Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 3.4 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 1 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 3.375 for Highlands Borders Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (11 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 3.375

  • 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 3.179 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Highlands Borders Care Home is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 5.6 = 0.179

  • 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.
