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.

I am a friend of a previous resident of Wilhelmina House who has moved to a home with more nursing care. I still visit Wilhelmina House once or twice a week and join in the excellent activities provided by the activities manager. The comfortable house has beautiful gardens front and back. The staff
are very cheerful and caring and every day there are various activities for the residents. I can't fault Wilhelmina House, the food, rooms, activities, facilities and staff are excellent.

My Mother has been a resident for the last three years and before that, visiting for the day or respite. As a family, we have been very impressed with the staff, their care and support. Any concerns have been addressed promptly and we share this with our friends and local community quite frequently.
My Mum frequently says how happy she is at Wilhelmina and how much she enjoys being a resident.

Apart from the very high standard of the building, facilities and setting and organisation, it is the quality of the staff and the very high level of care for all the residents that stands out. As a visitor, I have always been warmly welcomed and I have been highly impressed by - and grateful for -
the way in which they have cared for my mother in law and enabled her to live her final years with as much dignity as possible.

Wilhelmina House provides a warm, comfortable, secure home to my grandmother. The staff are all friendly, approachable and highly professional. I am confident that my grandmother is happy and being cared for to the highest standard. I always feel welcome and have complete peace of mind that my grandmother

Welcoming, a great friendly feel to the home, clean.
Staff always helpful and cheerful, also office and management the same.
I was so sad to move my friend due to needing special care.
If ever I need a care home I would love to go to Wilhelmina House for their care and love that is given to residents
and family.

Review from John P (Regular Volunteer) published on 22 November 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I used to visit a neighbour who lived alone but broke her hip a few years ago and became a resident of Wilhelmina House. Later she moved to another home as she needed more nursing care.


I visit Wilhelmina House usually once a week and help if needed and join in the activities which are many.


The

house is very comfortable with a beautiful extensive garden where the residents can sit out in the summer. There are a variety of activities for the residents provided by an excellent activities manager which includes visits and entertainment.


The staff are wonderful, caring and cheerful and the whole ethos of the house is the happiness of the residents.

Overall this is a well run and excellent residential care home. The care staff are great with residents and visitors and always appear cheerful. My mother and all our family feel she is well cared for. Mum occasionally gets unwanted (but not unfriendly) visits from a confused resident, which needs to
be monitored. Excellent social activities, some of which Mum enjoys. A very good move for her!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.811)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.811) 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 4.811 for Wilhelmina House is calculated as follows: ( (275 Excellents x 5) + (53 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 333 Ratings = 4.811
  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 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 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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.
