My husband's health and alertness gradually deteriorated owing to age. He is well cared for and supported. I have a good relationship with the staff.

Staff in every department of this care home were extremely cooperative and understanding of my father's very complex needs. From the moment he arrived, one could feel the sense of organisation with every staff member being absolutely in control of exactly what was required from them. The facilities
are great, particularly the communal and social areas.

Well appointed home with tasteful modern decor, offering many facilities for residents. The standard of care is very good and the home is well managed. Fees are comparatively high but many things which are extras in other homes are included.

My mother has been resident at Rubislaw Park for 6 months, the nursing care, in particular, is fantastic, enthusiastic staff handling challenging situations in a very professional way. The setting, amenities and activities are very good, all family and friends as visitors are very impressed in comparison
to other similar facilities. Nevertheless, the costs are not cheap, with a recent significant increase, but there is no doubt you pay for what you get, it first means any personal money decreases quicker.

At 95, mum was extremely exhausted when I came to visit her in her flat. We were extremely lucky that Rubislaw was able to take her for respite. Mum flourished and recovered so well that it was clear that she should stay in the care home. The team in Rubislaw are exceptional in their compassion, professionalism
and dedication. Mum is so happy and well looked after. We are blessed that at this stage in her life, she is so well cared for by Rubislaw team.

My dad has been settled in Rubislaw Park for over 4 months now. We are very happy with the way he has settled and the care that is provided. The home is always welcoming, clean and organised. There are lots of good activities for residents and he is happy. Rubislaw Park is not cheap and will be beyond
what is possible for some but the quality of care is excellent.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.929)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.929) out of 10 for Rubislaw Park 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.929 for Rubislaw Park Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (264 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 283 Ratings = 4.929

  • 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 Rubislaw Park Care Home is based on 24 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 86 registered maximum number of service users is 17.2, which has been reached with 24 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.
