Review from John L (Resident) published on 4 July 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot praise the home too highly.
The accommodation is so comfortable, the garden delightful and the food excellent.
The staff are always caring and considerate, the cleanliness is remarkably good.
Any little jobs you want doing are dealt with immediately and the whole atmosphere is one of friendliness,
peace and contentment.
A care home could not be better.

My husband has been going to the daycare at Wilhelmina House for a year. He enjoys the many activities and celebrations. The staff are so friendly and caring. Would recommend the 1596 Club.

We have been delighted with the care my aunt has received at Wilhelmina House she is very happy. The staff are all very caring, kind and helpful and always available. The food is excellent with plenty of variety. The cleanliness is excellent. There is always some entertainment for the residents and
everyone is encouraged to participate. The decoration and furnishings are all very good and in the summer the residents have the benefit of a beautiful garden. Friends and families are encouraged to visit residents and made very welcome.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have enjoyed my short stay and am likely to recommend this home to friends.
I loved the design and the decorations.
The rest is excellent. From the staff to the food it gave me the space to receive from an unpleasant hospital visit.
But I must mention the activities - they were superb.

Wilhelmina House provides excellent care for its residents. They are happy. Visitors are welcomed. A huge variety of activities is provided for the stimulation of residents. When I reach the stage of needing a care home, I would hope to come to one like this.

I've been extremely impressed by the standard of service offered by Wilhelmina House. The care is second to none. The management team is strong and approachable, the staff are all trained and very helpful and welcoming.
They treat the residents with respect and dignity. The facilities are excellent
and there is a full and varied programme of social activities which residents can choose to join in on. All in all, it provides a safe and secure environment for residents.

I was very impressed with Wilhelmina House Care Home. We were greeted with kindness and efficiency throughout my husband's stay in respite. The staff and carers were also kind and helpful to us both. I noticed that there were lots of activities and events daily. The food I saw served looked delicious
and the residents seemed to be enjoying it. I'm sure your loved ones will be very well cared for here.

Wilhelmina House provides a clean, calm, comfortable and caring home environment for its residents. There's plenty of space and light, good facilities, a lovely garden and well-planned activities. On each of my visits there, I found the staff to be very kind and helpful - and working well as a team.
The residents also seemed to be happy and content. The food is good and refreshments are provided between meals. I attended a summer garden party event there which was very well organized and great fun, with live music, a magician and raffle prizes. I would highly recommend this care home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I discovered this 'truly amazing' residential/care home last year - searching online for three weeks residential respite care following a total hip replacement.
So impressed, I had no hesitation in looking another respite stay nine months later, following a total knee replacement.
The surroundings
are light/open with lovely gardens.
Carers are pleasant/helpful and dedicated. Daily stimulating activities all day if required and bucketloads of TLC!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We had looked at several different residential homes before coming across Wilhelmina House and were so relieved that Wilhelmina House had a vacancy because it was head and shoulders above other homes we had seen.
It is clean and has been newly refurbished and is excellent value for money. The real
and most important difference is the staff group. Everyone is friendly, interested, genuinely caring and very good at their jobs.

My mother became a resident of Wilhelmina House (WH) earlier this year and soon settled in thanks to the support and kindness of the staff. She is very well cared for and says she feels very safe and happy. It is an absolute pleasure to visit WH as it feels like one big family. In my opinion, WH is
an exceptional residential home mostly due to the calibre of the staff.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.832)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.832) out of 10 for Wilhelmina House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.832 for Wilhelmina House is calculated as follows: ( (282 Excellents x 5) + (46 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 333 Ratings = 4.832
  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 Wilhelmina House is based on 28 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 26 registered maximum number of service users is 5.2, which has been reached with 28 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.
