When my mother arrived at Balhousie Coupar Angus Care Home for an all too short stay. All the staff treated her with all the respect and kindness you could ever wish for. She herself said she was being treated like royalty. Her eyes lit up and she smiled every time any of the staff came into her room
to check on her and spend time with her and there was always laughter. She also enjoyed and looked forward to all of the lovely meals and goodies which are freshly prepared on the premises by the dedicated team in the kitchen. When my mother passed all the staff showed so much care and compassion, and I again cannot thank them all enough for making my mother’s last weeks as comfortable and happy as one could ever wish for.

Reply from Jamie Hall, Brand and Communications Executive at Coupar Angus Care Home

Thank you for your lovely review. We are so sorry for your loss, but we are glad you are happy with the care your mother received. We will pass on your kind words to our hard-working staff, who will be so pleased to read them. Thanks again.

My dad was admitted to the home as an emergency admission on a Friday evening in January. We were all very emotional and apprehensive about the situation. From the minute we walked in the door our fears were allayed by the warmth and genuine compassion we received from the staff, even at this very busy
time of day. My dad has settled in very well - he cannot speak highly enough of the staff. He tells us at every visit how wonderful they are, and we have experienced nothing but kindness and warmth from everyone we have met. The home is spotlessly clean and my dad is really enjoying the food and in particular the fresh home baking in the afternoons and the homemade soup. There is a lovely, friendly atmosphere in the home and we are so grateful to everyone for making my dad feel so safe and well looked after.

I could not have asked for better care of my father by the staff, nurses and carers at Coupar Angus.
From the initial meeting with the manager and throughout Dad's time there, until he passed away in December everyone was fantastic.
The cleanliness, facilities, activities, food and support they offered
me and other family members were above and beyond what I expected.
Even though one of my father's family was very difficult and constantly looked to find fault where none was, and to be honest must have made the life of those working there very challenging at times, the staff continued to look after Dad with the utmost professionalism and loving care.
I know in the short few months that he was there he touched the heart of many of the staff and they are forever in my heart for the care they gave him.

Reply from Melanie Brockway, Brand & Communications Manager at Coupar Angus Care Home

Excellent care home with amazing staff. My dad moved into the EMI unit at Coupar Angus and settled in straight away, he was relaxed and content. I feel this was due to the care and compassion given by the staff as they took the time to get to know my dad as an individual and what his likes and dislikes
were. The staff are patient and dedicated and treated Dad with compassion and respect. The management team and the staff also took the time to communicate and support our family. The home-cooked meals and the snacks provided are very tasty and nutritious. A varied choice of daily activities was available for Dad to take part in if he wished to. The garden had plenty of different areas for Dad to enjoy. The rooms are a good size with fresh towels replaced and cleaning done daily. The atmosphere in the dayroom was warm and inviting and felt homely. I have no hesitation in recommending Balhousie Coupar Angus to a family looking for the right care home for their loved one.

Reply from Melanie Brockway, Brand & Communications Manager at Coupar Angus Care Home

We really appreciate you taking the time to explain how every part of your experience means you would recommend Balhousie Coupar Angus to others. We'll be sure to pass on your words. Thank you once again.

Our relative is happy, feels safe and her physical health has improved due to excellent care of staff and her diabetes is now well controlled and her diet is well balanced - a really positive outcome. The staff contact us immediately should the need arise. Home very clean, food good and staff very caring
and patient with residents. Staff always available and helpful.

I enjoy the food. I don't like meat very much, but there is always an alternative! The room is very good and clean and the staff are very helpful, caring and good at listening to my stories. I enjoy being here. The gardens are lovely and colourful and the paths make it easy to walk on. On sunny days,
it is lovely to sit outside.

It's good. I do like the food. No complaints. I feel well cared for. I'm trying to exercise to be able to walk again as my son-in-law would take me for a drive, once I'm OK to walk. I'm happy as a bird here.

We couldn't have hoped for better care for our aunt in her last few weeks. She was very complimentary about all of the staff and, during our visits to see her, we found everyone to be friendly, helpful and caring.

The home has a positive atmosphere. The staff are very caring. Residents' rooms are of a very good size. The feel of the place is more like a small B&B or Hotel rather than an old folks home.

Made welcome on all visits and very friendly staff. Residents are treated in a caring way under most trying circumstances, especially the dementia residents. Food excellent and tea etc on offer at all times. It's a purpose-built building with nice surroundings. The staff are hard-working but could
do with more of them.

My husband came to Balhousie Coupar Angus at the beginning of November 2021. He has settled in very well and is so well cared for that I have no worries about him at all. The carers and management are always so approachable and ready to answer any queries I may have. Even during lockdown times, I was
able to speak to him on the phone, so no quality times were lost. I have a 40-mile round trip to visit but will never move him anywhere else.

This means a lot to us, thank you. Lockdown has been tough for everyone and we're glad that you were still able to have quality 'time' with your husband.

Our cousin was a resident at Coupar Angus Balhousie. During her stay there she was treated kindly and affectionately by all the staff. We always felt she was in a safe and caring environment. Although my cousin's stay was quite short the staff managed to make her birthday special even though the home
was in lockdown. We appreciate the special care she was given during her last week before she succumbed to her illness. We always felt she received quality care along with affection and tenderness. We are grateful to the manager and all her staff for the kindness shown to my cousin.

My granny loved living in the home. She enjoyed everything from staff treating her like she was one of their family to singing along to the Scottish songs on a smart speaker! Staff got to know our family well and did their utmost to support us when my granny was in palliative care. The staff were attentive
and I can't rate them high enough.

My husband had been a resident here since December 2017. He had excellent care, physically and mentally. The staff cared for him beyond “it's my job” and were very understanding and sympathetic towards the family too. Latterly, my husband was in Abbey Suite and any interests or moods were very sympathetically
dealt with. He loved dancing and the staff would encourage him, anytime music was on. There was no hesitation to give me a bed in my husband's room for his last week. My daughter and son were allowed access to come and sit with me, during that time. It was wonderful to be with him as it was obvious he couldn't be at home. My daughter, son and grandchildren were treated as one of the family, when they visited and we were so fortunate to choose this particular home. What a treasure the staff are. I still pop in for a visit because I also provide knitting to be passed on to Ninewells Hospital and I am treated in such a friendly manner.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.752)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.752) out of 10 for Coupar Angus Care Home 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.752 for Coupar Angus Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (186 Excellents x 5) + (52 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 242 Ratings = 4.752

  • 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 Coupar Angus Care Home is based on 21 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 21 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.
