I have enjoyed staying at Ambassador House for the last few weeks. Having little knowledge of car homes previously I was pleasantly surprised with my room, the food is very much to my taste and enjoyable with choices. The staff are kind, helpful and cheerful.

My mother is on end of life care and the staff really go the extra mile to keep her comfortable and always ensure she eats and drinks regularly. We were able to take her regularly for a walk in the park at easter and they ensured she was able to come. They go above and beyond to ensure her later life
is as positive as possible.

The most impressive aspect of my stay is the warmth of the staff, they are attentive, kind and courteous. They do a lot to accommodate my eating habits. I've never been treated so well, I'm grateful. In the future should I require higher levels of care, no doubt Ambassador House would be my first choice,
provided the management is still there. Thank you.

I lived on my own and I was placed at the Ambassador House by the hospital. I was against it but I have been proved wrong. The care home provides me with security and facilities that I need. The care is excellent.

From the moment we walked through the doors at Ambassador we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. The home is well-maintained and has a homely feel. The staff are exceptional and treat Mum with much love, care and dignity. They treat her with the utmost respect. Their dedication to Mum's well-being
is evident in every interaction. Mum doesn't have dementia and is able to address her likes and dislikes, and nothing is a problem for the staff at Ambassador. In summary Ambassador is a beacon of excellence in elder care. Mum calls Ambassador her home which is comforting to her family.

Ambassador House is welcoming, warm and friendly. They are very supportive of the residents and their families. It's a difficult decision to have to put your relative into a care situation, but Ambassador House staff made the transition easier and reassured us every step of the way.

The care for my mum has been excellent. There is a dedicated manager for the care home. I have seen real dedication and enthusiasm from the senior team and carers. I’m very thankful for the care my mother has received and I pray the care team will continue to impart the care witnessed.

I never thought I would be living in a home but circumstances changed my life when I went into hospital then I was discharged to Ambassador House Care Home where I have been living for a while now. I am well looked after, all my care needs are met and the food is good, there is always something to eat
and drink. The management team and staff are very well trained to do their jobs. I am comfortable and well looked after here, most appreciated.

The staff are very friendly and helpful. My mum has a lovely room which is very cosy and kept very clean. On the cost, I think everyone would like it cheaper but personally I cannot fault the home.

The staff have treated my mum and stepdad with consideration, professionalism and kindness. We didn't realise that Mum and Stepdad would spend their last days in the home, but they couldn't have been anywhere better. They felt safe, cared for and supported. As a family, heartfelt thanks to all the team
for helping us to let go and allowing them to do a great job.

The staff at Ambassador House have really cared for my mother greatly. They ensured all her physical needs were appropriately met. My mum loved living at Ambassador House and loved the staff.
The care and attention provided was to a high standard. Special thanks to a group of staff members, not forgetting
the cook and all other staff. I want to say, thank you.

Ambassador House have been both kind and professional in their approach to caring for both my husband's mum and her husband. You can see they try to make the best of any situation. It is such a difficult time for myself and my husband as we deal with the care of two people but they have helped us to
do the best for them. Thanks to all the team.

Firstly, our mother went into Ambassador House 2016, during that time to May 2022, her stay there has always been delightful, tended well by care staff and management. Particularly, however, in the last years of her life under the fantastic management of the manager and her brilliant staff (too many
to name individually), to whom we are indebted, managed her. Our mother had a great life and nothing was too much for them in terms of giving her good care. They all looked after our mother individually with love, affection, care and dignity, absolute 'excellence'. All the staff handled and coped with many challenges, uncertainty and changes during the covid-19 pandemic in keeping not only all residents safe and covid free but themselves too. Words cannot describe the service they have facilitated throughout and I personally would have unequivocally no hesitation in recommending Ambassador House to other families or friends. On behalf of my family, I would like to take this opportunity to thank each member of staff at Ambassador House who tended our mother and we will always hold them dear in our hearts. We wish Ambassador House Team continued success, best wishes now and for the future.

My mother has been in the same home for 3years now and is really happy with all her new friends, both residents and staff. She is comfortable, safe and at home here. The staff are very friendly, happy and smiley, providing a relaxing and welcoming environment. As my mum's condition changes, the staff
provide for her accordingly. Always giving her dignity. I can't thank the staff enough for such a fantastic job that they are doing. Thank you!

Mum is treated very well, and even though she has dementia, due to the great care she gets from the care team here, she recognises them all and shows her love to them. Always kept fully informed of any incidents or illness. Have used other local care homes for periods of respite previously and they
did not even come close to showing the care provided at Ambassador House. Thank you for giving me peace of mind knowing mum is so well cared for.

Cannot think of a better place for Mum to be residing. The staff/carers are very professional and I know she is in good hands. This gives us, as a family, great peace of mind.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.550)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.550) out of 10 for Ambassador House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 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 4.550 for Ambassador House is calculated as follows: ( (72 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.55
  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 Ambassador 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.
