Mum has been at Kelvinside Manor since it opened at the end of January. Since then her health and wellbeing has improved greatly as she is being properly cared for and so well looked after in every way.


The manager and her team are all very friendly, professional and caring and have created a wonderfully

warm, welcoming and homely atmosphere.
Mum has a beautiful room and all the communal areas are very comfortable with lovely furnishings and decor, it really is such a wonderful environment.


My siblings and I are so grateful to have found such a lovely home for mum and would highly recommend Kelvinside Manor.

It's a big thing moving into a home, and Kelvinside Manor and all the staff are very aware of the change for the resident and their family. My Mum was made to feel so welcome from day one; there was always someone to tell her what was happening or help her in any way she needed.
My mum's care plan
was put together correctly; time was taken to understand her needs and to make sure she was cared for properly. The staff are genuinely fantastic, and it's clear they love what they do, they offer all the residents the respect and dignity they all so deserve.
I love that they have a cafe, for everyone to use at any time, it means when visiting you don't have to sit in a bedroom but can have a coffee or even a glass of wine from the wine cart and sit and feel like you are out when visiting someone in the home.
I am confident that this is the best place for my Mum, she loves all the staff which is great and I know she is safe and happy which is the most important thing.

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.291)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.291) out of 10 for Kelvinside Manor is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.3 out of 5 from 2 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 4.958 for Kelvinside Manor is calculated as follows: ( (23 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.958

  • 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 3.333 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kelvinside Manor is based on 2 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 = 3.125

    • 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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.6 = 0.208

  • 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.
