Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband joined Henrietta House with mild dementia and lymphoma. The staff were very caring, he thought they were wonderful. Management team were very supportive and compassionate offering tea, chats and help. I was able to visit anytime in his room as he became very ill.
My mother is always in
Henrietta House aged 103. The staff thinks she is amazing and she is very happy there and extremely well looked after.

Covid-19 restrictions have been so difficult for everyone. The management were excellent at keeping me updated and enabled me to have video calls with my mum during lockdowns. The home has a friendly atmosphere and observations of staff with my mum are always respectful and caring.

Since my mother-in-law became a resident at Henrietta House, she has been well cared for by the excellent staff. Until Covid came along, we very much enjoyed the various activities put on for residents and visitors - sports day, Halloween, quiz nights, Santa visits and more!

I will always remember the time I was at Henrietta House. Everyone was so kind to me. While I was at Henrietta Lodge I was pleased to help 2 ladies who were calling out, 1 lady stood at the door of her bedroom - when I went to see her she said no one hears me calling os I pressed something in her room
to get her some help and stayed with her until someone came. Another lady was calling out and seemed upset so I stayed with the lady until someone came to help her. I was pleased I could help people whilst I was there. Also, it was nice to do some knitting.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
A place filled with laughter, smiles and love,
Cared for by angels sent from above,
Where nothing you need is ever too much,
Especially in difficult times, providing an emotional crutch,
With epic hot chocolates and delicious hot food,
Activities aplenty to lighten the mood,
There really is nowhere
better,
Than the wonderful care home, they call Henrietta.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The home appeared to be very organised and well run and everyone, staff and residents, very comfortable and happy.
In these difficult times (Coronavirus) and not being able to have normal visits, other than a garden visit, I found all staff from manager down very kind and helpful when I rang. This
left me very assured that the best possible care was being given and I had no worries.

The manager and staff of this home, in my opinion, go the extra mile to embrace the diversity and individuality of the residents living in this home. Despite lockdown, I have observed on numerous visits following guidelines, a genuine nurturing team that provide high quality care to all residents. The
care my mother receives is amazing and enables her to maintain her dignity and provides her with a purpose in her final years of life. The management of this home are extremely creative and innovative and I am so grateful.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has only been in Henrietta House for a short time on a temporary placement. But already, I have seen a huge improvement. My mother has very complex needs. The care manager and all of the staff have made my mum very happy and welcomed. She is not anxious or unhappy like she was before. They
have kept me fully aware of every aspect of my mothers care. I feel relaxed and happy knowing Mum is content, safe and very well cared for, it has been lovely to hear her laugh again, This is a great place that only wants the best for its residents with an excellent team. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a Care home now or in the future.

I was a resident there as a hospital patient with a broken bone in my right knee. On arrival my mobility was virtually nonexistent. But thanks to the wonderful treatment that I received from all of the staff I became able to stand up walkabout with a frame, wash and dress myself. I can't thank them
enough.

My father was a resident here at Henrietta House for two years, four months until he sadly passed away. Henrietta became his home and ours too. The staff, from the top to the bottom were superb. Caring, compassionate and thoughtful in every way. I would not hesitate to recommend this home because they
all truly care about their residents and families.

They look after granny so well. Nothing is too much trouble. The staff listen, and they care. Manager and deputy, very approachable. Safeguard well, and I'm happy that my granny is very well cared for, looked after and safe. Clear and well-managed guidelines over covid19 - PPE provided for visits. Residents
meetings ensure everyone's thoughts and views are heard.

My mother was made very welcome and comfortable on arrival. The care and attention she received was exemplary. The staff are very pleasant and friendly - nothing is too much trouble, and they are proactive in trying to improve the support for my mother. She was sorry to leave, but it was agreed she
would receive more nursing support somewhere else.

My relative has been at Henrietta House for almost a year now. She has settled down very well and is happy. The home is very imaginative with all the events they hold, encouraging residents, families and friends to join in. They hold quiz nights, knitting groups, gardening club, keep fit, singing and
art and craft lessons.

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.
