Staff are very good with her and occasionally she likes to do the craft things.
Always things to do and watch, entertainment very good.

Very impressed. I love the feeling of the home. Everyone I saw were happy. The place is spotlessly clean. The girls that work in the home are very pleasant. I feel very happy to know that my sister is cared for by these lovely girls. I have enjoyed my visit today. Thank you!

We have had another few days visiting my mother in law. Because we live in Cornwall, we don't get up here as often as we would like. We are therefore hugely grateful to all the staff and facilities offered at Grampian Court. We have often talked about what type of care home might best suit Mum and always
conclude our discussions by saying we doubt we could have found a better one!
Staff are always bright and breezy, care for everyone individually, all of which promotes a really happy environment, which leaves us very assured that Mum is in the very best place for her and us.

Having visited several local care homes this one looked by far the best. Six months later this proved to be an excellent decision. The home is extremely well run by a dedicated and caring professional staff.

Grampian Court is a fantastic modern care home - one of the best I have visited with a very professional and caring staff.
If I had to be admitted to care in future years, I would certainly wish to be in this facility.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.858)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.858) out of 10 for Grampian Court 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.858 for Grampian Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (287 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 332 Ratings = 4.858

  • 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 Grampian Court Care Home is based on 28 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 57 registered maximum number of service users is 11.4, which has been reached with 28 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.
