  • Preston House, Glenrothes
When Preston House opened its doors in Glenrothes in November 2009, it became the latest addition to the Kingdom Homes Limited group of prestigious care homes. The 60 bedroom nursing facility is now at the forefront of care in Fife with 58 large single rooms and two large double rooms for couples. All bedrooms have en suite toilet and wet floor shower facilities.

Preston House has been designed to meet and indeed surpass all current safety regulations and requirements. A state of the art sprinkler system, addressable fire alarm system allowing immediate identification of the source of any fire and swing free door closers feature throughout the building to enhance the safety of residents and staff. Wide corridors with fixed handrails aid less mobile and wheelchair bound residents and low surface temperature radiators create a safer environment for all.

From the underground car park residents and visitors have access directly into the basement of the building and can come and go without being exposed to the weather. Two lifts provide access to the ground and upper floors.

An attractive reception greets visitors with seating where residents can also relax and socialise with their friends and families. The ground floor lounges and dining areas have direct access to the beautifully laid out grounds where there are seating areas so that the garden may be appreciated at leisure.

Nestled in a semi rural setting but only one mile from the bustling centre of Glenrothes and the town’s bus station, Preston House is also well placed for the surrounding towns of Kirkcaldy and Leven. With regular outings to the shops and to shows at the likes of the nearby Rothes Halls in Glenrothes and other attractions in the Company’s minibus there is always plenty to do.

Preston House is very welcoming, clean and spacious, the staff are very friendly and approachable. I felt my grandad received the best care he was a very proud man and he said himself he was grateful for the care he received, nothing was a bother for the staff.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.770)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.770) out of 10 for Preston House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 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 26 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 4.770 for Preston House is calculated as follows: ( (271 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 322 Ratings = 4.77

  • 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 Preston House is based on 26 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 26 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.
