Review from Annie R (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the moment our mother entered Tudor House, we knew she was in safe and caring hands. The staff showed such warmth, kindness, and genuine compassion, not only towards her but to all of us as a family. In her final days, their care went far beyond what we ever expected - they brought comfort, dignity,
and peace at a time when we needed it most.
What touched us deeply was how the staff didn't just provide care; they became like friends. Their presence, patience, and gentle words helped us through an incredibly difficult time, and for that, we will be forever grateful.
If you are looking for great care, empathy, and support, I would really encourage you to consider Tudor House. My only regret is that our mother was not under the care of this home much, much sooner.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A very good experience overall.
Very caring and compassionate staff, who treated our loved one with dignity and care right up to the end of life. It's a relatively small care home, which allows for more personal care, meaning the staff spend time getting to know the resident and their family well.
They have a good relationship with the local doctors and nurses-a much better experience than our previous one in another care home prior to Tudor House.


The care staff are very experienced and have been working at Tudor House for some time. Great homemade meals, prepared by the chef and the team.


Thanks to the Tudor House team.

Review from Bernadette W (Sister of Resident) published on 8 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My brother was at Tudor House for the past 4 years, until he sadly died in February of this year. The care he received was second to none, especially during his last few months. The staff are so friendly to both the residents and the resident's family, always making us feel welcome with a lovely cup
of tea and friendly conversation. The home itself was really clean and tidy and the manager was always on hand with any
concerns I had - she would do her best to resolve them and keep us informed. I've been to visit friends in more up-to-date, larger care homes, but they are so cold and unwelcoming in comparison to Tudor House's homely atmosphere. My brother was happy living there and I felt relaxed knowing he was being taken care of so well. Thank you all.

This was our first experience of respite care for our mother. Tudor House was very considerate to her needs. Carers were all very friendly and Mum was very appreciative of the care they gave her and her needs, made her feel very welcome. She enjoyed her meals (she wasn't eating well before because of
being poorly). Her legs improved and sores disappeared. Ideal place to have in mind going forward and a good experience and happy for all.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
My mum was in Tudor House for a short period of 6 months, the staff were caring and looked after my mum well until she had to have continuing healthcare which then the home staff were not involved in her care, the one-to-one care she received was excellent.
However when my mum passed away as a family
we were disappointed that no staff members came to her funeral, no card was sent to offer their sympathy and we were told that some paperwork regarding continuing healthcare would be helped to fill out, which it never has been. When we went to collect her belongings 2 days after she had passed, there was a drinking glass/a jug in the room, iron had been placed in the room, tissues on the side, and no general cleaning or tidying had been done which was disappointing and upsetting at that time.

I am always greeted with a smiley face from the staff, who come around and check if all is ok.
They are always friendly and helpful.
My wife is always dressed appropriately and looks comfortable and chats well when she is awake.
Always a very nice smell from the kitchen. It certainly leaves me with
peace of mind when I leave.

Very caring staff, they are friendly and they know the residents so well. Very supportive and understanding of what we are going through as relatives. They care and are attentive and work hard for very long hours. The staff do all they can to make the residents feel safe and looked after and are kind.
It has a very homely feel.

Review from Hugh G (Son of Resident) published on 19 November 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was a resident at Tudor House for the last five and a half years of her life. She was extremely happy. I cannot fault the care which she received during her time there. I was kept fully informed of her health condition and consulted at all stages. The record-keeping is exemplary. I was talked
through it and my questions were answered in full. All Staff are very caring and friendly. They make a good team together and are well lead. The range of activities offered is very good and the food is excellent. Before Covid-19, all her family and friends were able to see her, without an appointment, and were made very welcome by residents and Staff alike. Mum was on end-of-life care for the last few weeks and I was allowed to don protective clothing and to see her right up to the end. I cannot speak highly enough of Tudor House and would recommend it unconditionally.

We have been very happy with the way "Mum" is treated. The cares are very kind and considerate in the way they treat all the residents. There are many and varied activities taking place and also regular spots when the residents are taken to activities that are relevant for them. We have found the staff
very friendly and approachable. We feel "Mum" is happy here as she could be. The whole ambience of the home is caring and warm.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Incredibly caring residential home - Staff, without fail, always respond to mum and her needs. The home welcomes the family and keeps us informed as much as practical. The house itself is not the most modern but what it lacks in aesthetics, it makes up for on staff, the quality of food and the other
nice touches. Such as the option for the family to personalise their room, join them for events and the number of weekly varied activities available for the residents. The most outstanding quality remains as however the exceptional standard of all-round care (not just the basics).

I have recently put my 94 year old uncle in the above care home against his wishes, however, he has settled in very well. I have been made very welcome and can call any time.
He is now happy, settled and looks forward to the many outings that they arrange. The food is good and the place is very clean.
Yesterday he was taken to Dunstable pancake race which he thoroughly enjoyed. The staff are very kind to him and helpful. I and my husband feel relieved that he is happy and safe.

I have lived at the above home for seven years and have been very glad to do so. Every time I receive a form to fill in with the below ratings, I have always ticked each favourably because that is the way that I really felt. On the medical side, staff are efficient too in getting a doctor or practise
nurse to see me, and in some circumstances, an ambulance to take me for CT scans, and in one case for a major operation which was a success.

All staff are incredibly helpful and accommodating. They support grandad to go out into the community 2-3 times each week. Very supportive with his eating habits (can be very picky) they accommodate to his tastes and needs. Very good with his personal care and getting him to have a bath or shower each
week and wash each day. It is a great care home, it's home from home to grandad and his visitors.

Our father has been at Tudor House for over 7 months. We have been extremely impressed with how approachable and caring the staff are. There is a very homely atmosphere. It is great to hear of all the activities that are provided which adds so much interest for all of the residents. Every opportunity
is taken to involve them as much as possible, for example, by taking a resident out in a wheelchair when going into town. We thoroughly recommend Tudor House.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.293)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.293) out of 10 for Tudor 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 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 5 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 4.793 for Tudor House is calculated as follows: ( (47 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 58 Ratings = 4.793
  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 4.5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tudor House is based on 5 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 = 3.5
    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 18 registered maximum number of service users is 3.6, which has been reached with 5 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.
