My mother has been a resident at Henrietta House since the end of November last year. She is thoroughly looked after and my sister and I know she is in a safe and secure environment. Three particular staff members and their staff do a wonderful job caring for the residents as well as supporting residents'
families and friends.
A special mention goes to the Activities Manager, who goes above and beyond her job arranging activities and parties for the residents and their families. The Garden Summer Party recently held at the Home was great fun - thanks to all the staff who worked so hard in creating a lovely time for the residents.

We as a family have been very impressed with the care home as a whole. Mum has settled in well and is enjoying the social contact with others in the home; plus the excellent staff. The activities keep her occupied and her mind stimulated. The flow of information to us from Henrietta House is informative
and very helpful. The attitude of all staff members we have meet is always cheerful, also humorous.

Henrietta House is a very well-run, caring and safe environment in which my mum can see out her remaining days. The senior team is excellent. They are all very capable, polite and genuinely care for their residents. The Activities Manager is worth special praise for the amount of time and effort she
puts in to ensure there is a wide range of options for the residents. I understand from others that much of the preparation work is carried out in her own time. The home is very well managed with the team always being available to discuss any concerns. Having visited a number of care homes before deciding upon Henrietta, I would recommend it without hesitation as it offered the best overall package for my mum by some distance.

Mum has been at Henrietta House now for nearly six months. When she first went there she called it a "hotel" and nothing has changed. She tells us that she enjoys the company, activities, food, especially the staff. She is treated with respect and dignity. Nothing is too hard for staff and management
who respond quickly and efficiently to resolve matters that arise. We live the other side of the world and you might expect issues with communication but we have had excellent communication throughout. We have very favourable reports from family members and friends who visit. Thanks to the manager and her team for all they do. It makes living so far away less worrying in the knowledge that she is safe and cared for. Fantastic!

My Mum has been a resident at Henrietta House for 5 years now! Mum is declining in health and the symptoms of dementia affecting her both physically and emotionally! The kindness, support and patience the staff have for my Mother is incredible. As a family, it has been quite a roller coaster of emotions
for us seeing our Mum decline! Not only do they support Mum, but us a family, nothing is too much trouble! A big thank you to the manager and staff, God bless you all.

My mum has lived in this home for a few years and is very very happy here. My mum is so well looked after and very well cared for and calls this her home. Everyone of the team are excellent in seeing that my mums needs are met and that she is treated with dignity and respect at all times.
I highly
recommend this home for your loved one if it's needed.

I cannot praise the staff and management of Henrietta House enough. My mother has been there for nearly 5 years and has been looked after by many different staff and management teams, however, the care and support received by my mother, as well as us, the close family has always been fantastic. Communication
has always been first-class as their promptness in relation to any medical concerns that my mother may have. I thoroughly recommend to any family looking to maybe make this their next step for a loved one.

Cannot fault the care my mother receives. Staff are always very friendly and accommodating whenever we visit and the home is kept very clean and tidy. Has been a pleasure to attend many entertainment days put on for residents and families with guest singers covering songs from various decades followed
by an excellent multicultural spread of food and drink put on by the staff. Also plenty of activities arranged to keep residents motivated and active which is reflected in the amount of long-term residents at Henrietta House.

Everybody is very friendly and happy and the residents are well cared for. I always feel very welcome and my dog comes too and is very well loved by staff and residents.
It is really nice that there are days arranged for family to come into the home and have some fun together like Christmas party
and garden party and quiz afternoon.
I know I don't have to worry about Mum's care and that she is in safe caring hands.

My father has been a resident at Henrietta House for the last eighteen months, and without fail, the staff, both nursing and auxiliary, have been magnificent. He arrived during Covid restrictions, which, although difficult for all, were made seamless by the wonderful team at Henrietta House.
We are
a close family and would love to be able to have daddy home with us, but due to his disabilities, this is impossible. Our extended family at Henrietta House bridge that gap for us. They give warm and loving care whilst making sure he is safe, well-fed and entertained. We can ask no more.
Thank you, all the team; wishing you all a happy and healthy Christmas and New Year.

Our dad was a resident at Henrietta House for eight months. Over that time, he was looked after with the greatest care and consideration. He was treated with dignity and, as a family, we were always made welcome and kept informed about dad's state of health. We will always be grateful for the way in
which he was treated in the last precious months of his life. We extend our thanks to all the carers and management of Henrietta House.

My mother sadly passed away in February this year in your care home, just two months short of her 92nd birthday.
I could not wish for better care than she received from all your staff during her stay with you. Thank you for making my mother's final months as comfortable and caring as possible.

Staff always went above what was expected of them.
Mum was always happy and we were always welcomed although through difficult Covid times.
We would highly recommend Henrietta

I have been a visitor to Henrietta House for many years now. In the first instance, it was to see my mother and then latterly to visit a friend who is now a resident there.
Being a small care home it always feels homely and welcoming. The residents have a lovely lounge in which to sit and a nice dining
room where the food served is always of a good standard.
But the most important thing about Henrietta House is the staff. They are caring, kind and compassionate and will always go the extra mile to help their residents. It is a hard job to be a carer but they always do it with a smile.

Dad spent his final months at Henrietta House, and we couldn't have wished for a better place for him to be. From the moment he arrived, he was cared for with tenderness and dignity. The love and respect shown to him by all staff members have touched the hearts of all our family, and we will forever
be grateful to them. Henrietta House helped us through what was a very difficult time for us and Dad. Thank you.

My father was a resident from late February 2022 until he sadly passed away in October 2022. My experience of dad's care at Henrietta House was outstanding. The care, love and general attention given to dad during his 8-month stay was superb, I could not find any fault. I would recommend Henrietta
House to any family looking for a care home for a loved one. The staff at Henrietta House were all outstanding and were loved by my father.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.864)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.864) out of 10 for Henrietta House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.864 for Henrietta House is calculated as follows: ( (102 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 118 Ratings = 4.864
  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 Henrietta House is based on 10 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 25 registered maximum number of service users is 5, which has been reached with 10 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.
