Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad came to Abbey Ravenscroft Park Nursing Home following a six-month stay in hospital after breaking his hip in the summer of 2019. My father had been suffering with continuing medical needs for some time and was in multi-organ failure when he arrived and nearly ready for palliative care. We settled
in very well as every single member of staff was kind and lovely to him from the start and throughout. Thanks to the dedication of the team my dad enjoyed a further three months of life. Even when the pandemic came and we had to visit him from the window, the team enabled him to see us and took excellent care of him. Truly professional. He passed peacefully on April 3rd 2020.

My mother was admitted to Ravenscroft Park Nursing Home on 19th March 2020, due to dementia and I could no longer care for her at home. She has had excellent care at the home and is being very well looked after. She is very calm and content. She is not distressed or in any pain. She is eating, drinking
and sleeping well. Sadly, I cannot visit due to the covid19 lockdown, but when I phone, I am always told that she is alright. The home itself looks very nice.

Review from Michael G (Son of Resident) published on 28 July 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother began her stay in December 2018. She needed a nursing home due to her lack of mobility following a leg break and early dementia, and Abbey Ravenscroft was our choice. From the outset, we felt extremely comfortable with the very caring and friendly attitude of all staff and management, which
was sustained throughout her stay. Sadly, the last time we were able to visit was in February 2020, when the home took early preventative measures to avoid Covid-19. Mum was profoundly deaf and her comprehension of written communication had deteriorated. Happily, we saw her via a video phone call, spontaneously arranged by the home's manager, and Mum was thrilled to see us. Sadly, she passed two weeks later, and the home continued to be very sensitive and empathetic in our subsequent contact. For the length of her stay, all staff did a very good job, and we greatly appreciate the care and love she received.

My father spent over three and half years living at Abbey Ravenscroft Park Nursing Home and I wanted to take this opportunity to say how happy both my husband and I felt with the amazing care he received whilst living there. Sadly, my father passed away in April and although we were unable to visit
him after 12th March due to the extra care the Manager and her team was providing to safeguard the residents during COVID-19, we were able to take great comfort knowing that dad was receiving the excellent professional care he had always received since arriving at the home from all the staff. Thank you to every member of the incredible team working together to make each resident happy and secure. As daily visitors we always found hard-working colleagues working together to give the best care possible for all the residents in the home, but never too busy to always stop and attend to their needs. We have no hesitation in recommending this amazing nursing home.

My step-grandmother has been a resident at Abbey Ravenscroft Nursing Home for two and a half years.
She is well looked after and clearly loved by the very kind carers of this nursing home who always have time to chat.
Her bedroom is very comfortable and she is able to look out of the window onto
the beautiful view of the park opposite.
The conservatory has recently been built which makes the common room an even brighter place with views and easier access to the garden.

Review from Ann D (Wife of Resident) published on 17 July 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My husband was transferred to Ravenscroft from the Royal Free Hospital after a fall resulting in a bleed on the brain, meant he was no longer well enough to be cared for at home.
I was visiting at least three times a week, and was very satisfied with the care he was receiving from the very friendly
and caring staff, both medical and care-related, who dealt with his often agitated, and sometimes difficult demeanour with great patience and humour.
However, due to Coronavirus, and lockdown, I haven't been able to see my husband for the last 16 or so weeks, and this is very hard. The only consolation I have is that I know that he is being well cared for. Because he has no conception of time he doesn't realise how long he has been in the home, or how long since he has seen me. I telephone every other day, and can't always speak to him, but although times must be very difficult for the staff, they always take a moment to speak to me, tell me how he is doing, and ask how I am, as I do.

Although my Uncle was only in Ravenscroft Park for a short end of life stay after being in hospital, he was well looked after and the staff were very helpful and sympathetic. The admin staff were very helpful in advising us what to do after he passed away, and as we live a long way away, their local
contacts and advice were very helpful in sorting things out easily and promptly.

The staff at Abbey Ravenscroft are taking incredible care of my aunt. She needs dialysis treatment three times a week and suffers from bipolar. Every time I visit, I can see the life in her eyes again after the long stint in the hospital before she became a resident. She glows when speaking of the nurses
and always has a story to tell me about having her nails painted and hair cut (she's a very glamorous woman!) The staff here are clearly exceptional.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was in Abbey Ravenscroft for only six weeks before she passed away on 28th February. She was very well cared for and the standard of care she received was excellent, especially in her last remaining days. They could not do enough for her. When the staff came in at the start of their shift,
they would always pop their head around the door and say hello, even when the family were there and they always made you feel welcome. As a family, we could not fault the care and compassion that they had shown to us when she passed away. I am so pleased that we chose this care home and would highly recommend it. A great big thank you to you all on behalf of her family.

Review from Denise C (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 August 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Dreary, tired, old and dull furniture and environment in the room my father was in. No soap available for hand cleaning which, considering my dad had an infection similar to MRSA, should have been a MUST, as well as aprons and gloves, which also were not available to use whilst visiting. I do not
feel he received the care he deserved and, as he was stuck at the end of a corridor, I believe he was left for too long without being checked. I have logged a complaint with the CQC regarding more worrying issues that occurred during his very short stay.

My father was a resident originally for palliative care from December 2018 until 24th July 2019 when he passed away.
I think the reason Dad's prognosis improved was due to the outstanding care from the Abbey nurses and carers who cared with compassion, professionalism but from the heart.
I will be
eternally grateful to them who made life for him and us, his family, so bearable.

My aunt always looked well cared for. Always dressed nicely in clean clothes and hair done by hairdresser every other week. Staff kind and friendly and patient. Plenty of activities with music, sometimes live, garden parties and trips out and Christmas party. I was always made to feel very welcome when
visiting. End of life care superb. Living so far away it was a Godsend knowing my Aunt was being well cared for.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My cousin had lived at Abbey Ravenscroft Park since August 2015. She suffered from advanced dementia and was wholly dependant on her carers. She passed away on 6 March 2019. I felt that my cousin received excellent care throughout her stay. I found the atmosphere in the nursing home to be friendly and
relaxed and I always felt I could talk openly to management and staff about my cousin. The staff were most helpful in the hours and days immediately after the death. They were professional and sympathetic throughout.

My Aunt was in the home for 2 1/2 years until she died. At all times her care was kind, dignified and considerate of her needs. Any questions I had on her behalf were answered promptly. Staff seem to go above and beyond to make sure residents are as happy as they can be.

My dad was a former resident for 18 months and my mum is currently a resident. I have found the home to be very caring and supportive in meeting the needs of both mum and dad.
The home provides a lovely environment and gives opportunities for residents to experience outings and entertainment in the
premises.
The staff have made the transition from mum’s own home to the nursing home stress-free and we are so happy with how well our mother has settled in.

When my husband first came to Ravenscroft Park Nursing Home we were both very apprehensive, but I was pleasantly surprised to see how the home supplied all the needs (however diverse) the residents had. All the staff are kind, considerate and caring. Their food is varied and satisfying and the bedrooms
are large, airy and clean. Standards everywhere are extremely good!

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.353)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.353) out of 10 for Abbey Ravenscroft Park Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.353 for Abbey Ravenscroft Park Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (92 Excellents x 5) + (89 Goods x 4) + (19 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 201 Ratings = 4.353
  2. 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 Abbey Ravenscroft Park Nursing Home is based on 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 78 registered maximum number of service users is 15.6, which has been reached with 17 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
