Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A friend recommended Torkington House. I had the opportunity for respite for Mum for 2 weeks and I grasped it after having a look round the home and meeting the staff. The staff are amazing so professional, caring and kind and you get the sense they want to make the experience for my Mum and myself
to be the best it can be. They were so helpful to me and understanding of my need for a break. The home is very clean and smells good and Mum said the food was great. There are activities during the week; which all sounded good and varied. Mum enjoyed the singing. Pretty garden and rooms are very nice. Staff greet you cheerfully and when you leave it is the same, they cannot help you enough! Very impressed with this care home and we will continue to use their wonderful services. Thank you to all the staff.

A big thank you to the team at Torrington House for a fantastic coronation BBQ.
Me and my partner so much enjoyed ourselves and it was so lovely to see the residents enjoying themselves too. It’s lovely to see the Mayor being involved and showing their support.
Once again, a big thank you.

Review from Mert Z (Son of Resident) published on 9 January 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father went in for respite care at Torkington House. He was very against leaving his own home and did not wish to be associated with the negative stigma of a care home. The staff made him feel very welcome and were very patient with his dementia care. After a few weeks of respite care, my father
was crying because he did not want to leave, saying he got used to where he was. The manager facilitated a smooth transfer to a longer-term care facility nearer to my father's own home and us, making my father as comfortable as possible during the stay. Really great staff, who are managed well and low turnover of staff, which is not usual to see.
Reply from Sandeep, Deputy Manager at Torkington HouseDear Mert,
Thanks for your valuable feedback, which is greatly appreciated. We will certainly pass this on to our staff team.
Happy New Year.

My relative is very happy in Torrington, being waited on hand and foot by people he loves. Says he should have become a resident years earlier. Enjoys the overall atmosphere and independence with the overview of the managers and their teams. He talks about individual members of the team, whom I have
never met, as friends. The care he has received, when under the weather, quite ill, just grumpy needing (not admitted) attention, is very kind, dignified and discreet. Torrington is an incredible place and gives me and my family a confident feeling that, no matter what, our relative is in very good hands. Thank you everyone.
Reply from Sandeep Rajendran, Deputy Manager at Torkington HouseDear James, many thanks for the great review submitted. It meant a lot to us. I will definitely pass on your good feedback to our team. Thanks again, management team

Torkington House has been a home to my mother-in-law for the last three years. During this time she has received the most caring, loving and professional care. Everything has been made to meet her medical needs and make her comfortable. We, her family have also received huge support. The staff is happy
to assist at any time always with a smile.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Torkington House and every single member of staff from the manager to the lady who folds the washing outside my mum's room and chats to mum whilst she folds and puts away are just amazing human beings. They are attentive to the residents and most certainly to the guests. They know all our names and
they always ask after each of our family members (non-residents) if they have not seen them that week. They tell me all the little funny things my mum has talked about and some of the little sad things mum talks about. My mum is waited on hand and foot and is positively spoilt. She is so very happy and content and that is a huge relief to our family. I am so very lucky mum was offered a place here at Torkington House and will always be grateful to the manager and her entire fabulous team who go above and beyond the call of duty with all the residents.
Reply from Sandeep Rajendran, Deputy Manager at Torkington HouseDear Sylvia, we are so pleased to see your feedback. we are so privileged to have such a supportive family member like you. we will always take good care of your mum

Review from Diana G (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 4 May 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Torkington House has been wonderful for our grandfather since arriving a couple of years ago, with reasonably advanced dementia and challenging behaviour. The team know exactly how to look after him and keep us informed all the time if there is a change spotted in his behaviour or he is feeling unwell.
The
manager and the senior team run a tight ship but a fun one at the same time and the way they have all navigated the whole Covid lockdown over 2-years has been nothing short of inspirational. During this time, they became the friends, families and carers of our loved ones as we were not allowed to visit for such a long time and whilst this was undoubtedly difficult for all concerned, the level of care and empathy was obvious for all to see. Facilities are exceptional, from the reception area to resident bedrooms, all kept spotless and tidy and the food is prepared with pride. I know as Grandad has a great appetite! As a family, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend TH.
Reply from Sandeep Rajendran, Deputy Manager at Torkington HouseDear Diana, really and truly appreciate your feedback. We always endeavour to do our best to take care of our residents. I will share your feedback with our team, and they will be delighted
thanks again.
Best Regards.

My mum has advanced Alzheimers, consequently, she is very confused and frail. Despite this condition, the staff at Torkington House do their best to give her a good quality of life. Mum has a loving relationship with all of those who look after her and this means she is happy and content. Mum is always
well presented her every need is taken care of. As relatives, despite these difficult COVID times, we are always made to feel welcome and encouraged to visit.

This home was recommended to us by friends and a care provider who had been looking after my mum when she was at home. Since arriving in the home, my mother has improved and looks so good. This is down to the care and attention she has received as the staff have looked after her better than we could
ever imagine. Mum receives 24-hour care and we are constantly updated about her progress which is so assuring. Every detail is looked at by the staff and nothing is ever missed. Mum has 4 children who separately visit her every week, so we know this great care happens every day. She is always dressed lovely and her hair is always nice - something we could not always achieve when she was at home. The home is like visiting a friend’s house, you forget you are going into a care home. Her bedroom is lovely, homely, and clean. The dining room looks so inviting you would want to go in yourself. The garden is beautiful, and the kindness and hospitality of the staff make you want to come back every week.
Reply from Margaret Siriwardena, Home Manager at Torkington HouseDear Mary, Thank you very much for your kind words. It's a privilege to care for your mum and we are delighted she enjoys her stay at Torkington House. We will share your lovely comments with our staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
On arrival at Torkington House, my aunt was low in mood and her usual chatty and friendly disposition appeared lost. Understandably, this was a difficult period of adjustment moving into a home. My aunt now appears settled and I have seen her thrive over the months. My aunt laughs, smiles all the time
and I just like to watch her friendly interaction with the team. Thank you to the manager and all the members of the team for their patience, thoughtfulness and care who have made this possible. I am kept up to date with all aspects of care (appointments, activities schedule provided for all residents, birthday celebrations) and the latest Covid Government guidelines ensuring that all residents are kept as safe as they can be and still ensuring that relatives are able to visit or speak to them by phone. Torkington House is on my speed dial. All that I can say is a massive ‘thank you’ to everyone for taking care of my aunt who is very dear to me. Best wishes.

Our Aunt has been with Torkington House now for just under a year, which has probably been one of the hardest years ever for the care sector with all the Covid restrictions. At all times, the home and its staff have kept families updated with news and events happening in the home. They have provided
pictures, WhatsApp calls and telephone calls to our loved ones. Through this awful period, it was good to know that our aunt was in safe and caring hands. Thankfully, restrictions are easing and we are now able to take our aunt out to engage with her friends and family and she is always happy to return home at the end of the day. The staff at Torkington House have always been professional and caring and we look forward to getting to know them better when restrictions ease further.

Review from Agnes Q (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 August 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was a former resident at Torkington House having been cared for there for a number of years. Due to her age and ongoing medical condition unfortunately she passed away in February. During my mother's time there I can say without any hesitation whatsoever that the care, warmth and dignity with
which she was treated was evident throughout. Whilst I have always had nothing but the utmost praise for the staff, during my mother's last few months and as her needs became more acute, I really cannot find the words to express the gratitude I feel for the kindness, consideration and patience she was shown until the very end. It is obviously hard to see loved ones deteriorate and even harder still to lose a parent, however, the staff at Torkington helped to ease the burden from my family in ways that are incalculable. The very high standard of care is clearly set by Torkington's wonderful Manager, who is supported by equally wonderful management and staff teams.

My mum has been in this care home for over two years. She has been treated excellently with an outstanding level of care. I feel very reassured that she is in safe hands with carers who genuinely care about her. The care home is very close to my house, which means I'm able to visit her often. Every
time I've visited, I've seen how all the staff deliver exceptional care regardless of what shift they're working on. They have never failed to impress me with how conscientious and kind they are to the residents. It gives me great comfort to know that when I'm not there; my mother is well looked after.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father moved into Torkington House in April following a fall at home and a spell in hospital. He was quite feeble and not in good health when he arrived but within a few weeks, he had improved markedly. This is down to the superb care and kindness of the staff under the supervision of the excellent
manager and her team. While Dad is not exactly happy to be in a care home - he lived independently at home until he was nearly 101 years old - he knows that he is in a safe and secure environment with all his needs taken care of. Myself and my brother have no doubt that Dad couldn't be in a better place.

My Uncle spent a very happy eight months at Torkington House.
I would not hesitate to recommend this care home to anyone and consider that we have been very fortunate to become part of the Torkington family. During the final months of my uncle's life, their compassion and kindness to both of us was
astounding.
We need more people like them!

My mother has been a resident of Torkington House Care Home for the past ten weeks. During this time the care afforded to her has been exceptional, the staff are so attentive and her every wish is catered for.
The accommodation is excellent, clean and warm with a very modern en-suite bathroom. Now
that summer is fast approaching the garden is so very inviting ideal for exercise and enjoying the fresh air.
Every day there is an entertainment programme. The catering is of a very high standard with varied menus.
On the few occasions that my mother has required minor medical treatment the response has been rapid, far quicker than if she has been in her own home. As for security second to none, it is so good to know that she is safe and sound at all times. Thank you Torkington House.

My mother-in-law is a resident at Torkington House Care Home and I am astounded by the excellent treatment she is receiving, certainly five stars, as good as any five-star hotel. The staff are so caring and attentive to her every wish.
There is always something going on to keep the residents occupied
and now that summer is approaching the garden is going to be so inviting. The catering is of a very high standard, the menus are very appetising. A few times she has needed minor medical treatment and this was attended straight away, far quicker than if she had been in her own home. It is so comforting to know that she is in such safe and secure surroundings. Well done Torkington House.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.597)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.597) out of 10 for Torkington House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.647 for Torkington House is calculated as follows: ( (159 Excellents x 5) + (46 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 218 Ratings = 4.647
  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 4.95 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Torkington House is based on 18 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.95
    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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, which has been reached with 18 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.
