I have found all members of staff very professional. They are caring and ensure that my mother has the support and care that she requires. Not always the easiest of patients they were quick to build a relationship with her and make her feel that she and her needs matter. I could not ask for better care
and on the days that she is upset when I leave feel assured that she is being left in good hands!

Thank you for such kind and positive comments, very pleased you are happy with the care and support at our home.

Think she has settled in very well in the short space of time and speed in which she was moved. Concerned at the time as she was still recovering from her fall but needn’t have worried as she was being looked after very well. The staff are very kind and helpful and feel confident that she will be okay
when we leave her.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Just a wonderful home. All the facilities are new, and of a very high standard, but that’s not what sets the home apart. The most amazing thing about this place is the staff - and I mean everyone. No matter what their role is, all the staff go the extra mile. They aren’t doing a job, they are genuinely
caring for individuals. Everyone I have met, and engaged with, has a heart and it shows in everything they do. I have so much admiration for them.
Checking my dad into a care home was something I put off several times, but in the end, I had to do it so he was safe. It was one of the hardest decisions I have ever made. I have no regrets and only praise for the wonderful team at Liberton Brae. They are special people. My dad - who I thought would never settle away from his own home - is content and happy.
The rooms, communal spaces, dining experiences, and activities are all great but what makes this a real home is the care and heart of the team. Thank you to them all.

Reply from Claire Alexander, Home Manager at Liberton Brae

Thank you so much for your lovely comments. I am so very proud of our team and our home and I am delighted your dad settled in so well.

After a difficult period of poor health and hospitalisation, my sister and I settled on Liberton Brae Nursing Care Home for our mum. Since her move into the setting we have been delighted with the nursing care, communication, compassion, and all round service that the staff and organisation have provided
Mum with. The facilities are the best we have seen in our visits around many other homes and the activities, care and atmosphere in the home have been first-class. Mum is so safe, happy and well cared for now and the manager and all staff have made huge efforts to ensure Mum is happy, settled and enjoying life again.

Reply from Claire Alexander, Home Manager at Liberton Brae

Thank you very much for such a positive review and we are delighted your mum has settled in so well. I shall pass on your kind words to the staff team.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

We viewed this care home a few times before selecting it for our mother who is registered blind with poor mobility and early stages of Alzheimer’s. We were hoping she would be able to get home but things progressed quickly and it became obvious that it was unsafe for her to be on her own with carers
coming in.
The home is lovely with spacious rooms, en-suite shower and toilet and alarm systems in place if she tries to get up during the night. She has put on weight since admission (was very low in weight) and is enjoying the company and activities. The staff are on top of everything and very helpful and kind.
Because it has recently opened, activities are increasing and there is a service from the local church once a month now.
The staff helped her celebrate her birthday and got her ready for us to take her out for a family celebration. They also had an event for the Coronation which pleased her.
This has been a good choice for mum.

The staff at Liberton Brae Care Home could not have done more to ease a difficult situation. The support, reassurance and guidance provided has been invaluable, all within a very short timeframe, and the care given is thoughtful and exemplary - from every member of the team.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.895)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.895) out of 10 for Liberton Brae 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 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.895 for Liberton Brae is calculated as follows: ( (284 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 315 Ratings = 4.895

  • 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 Liberton Brae is based on 27 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 27 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.
