Good care of all staff to both their client and friends/family. Clean, calm atmosphere. Variety of activities available. Patient, knowledgeable, positive staff enabled good visits right until the end. Keep up the good work. Thank you.

Review from Claire G (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 23 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Overall a varied experience however lack of communication since the care coordinator left from the team - we now get none at all about our mother/grandmother where as she was brilliant with communicating with us. This is disappointing given costs relating to care. Had no idea they stopped getting
her up, the room is depressing, miserable, very little natural light.
When in the main house it was a lot better, constant entertainment that involved her and when moving over to the dementia unit it was like "that's that now".
The home needs a key worker to communicate with families as no-one does it at all now! The activity coordinator in the main home was always very good as was the care coordinator who used to be in the dementia building - sick a great loss losing her.
Devastating to see the leaving of the old manager as we really trusted her and there has been no introduction to the new manager as the meeting times are not suitable when I work full time. Carers and hairdresser are lovely though!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mom has been really happy since coming to Pinehurst - dementia is a debilitating illness and has made my mom anxious, worried, unhappy, and confused. At Pinehurst, they have given my mom reasons to be happy. All the carers are kind, thoughtful, loving, and personal and put Mom first and treat her like
a person not someone with dementia! She smiles and laughs. They also do all the other important, essential stuff (food, cleanliness, night-time) but mom is cared for when we, as a family, are struggling to care for her in her home environment - the carers show mom the love that we continue to do as a family but unable with the day to daycare.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I live abroad, so I was very grateful to the Pinehurst manager for her understanding, advice and support, to successfully move Mum from a nursing to a residential/dementia care home, closer to family.
Following her face-to-face assessment of Mum in Kent and with her guidance, the move went swiftly
and efficiently, with our children last November. Mum welcomed the smiles and hugs of her new carers as she arrived and loved the 'familiar' garden view from her room.
I was able to visit her this month and was delighted and reassured to confirm what I had felt during our video chats; that she is more relaxed, happier and healthier in her new 'homely' surroundings. She even does a little gardening again! This is thanks to the professionalism, attentiveness and kindness of her care and management team.

To need to go into care can be a daunting process. At Pinehurst Care Home they go over and above to ensure that all questions and concerns are responded to. They are incredibly sensitive to an individual's needs and do all they can to assist in a smooth transition. I am very impressed with the efficient
and professional way Pinehurst Care Home is run. The leadership team are always available should a need arise, and they certainly have their fingers on the pulse of the home. Going the extra mile seems to be in the DNA of all the staff at Pinehurst Care Home, I am always cordially greeted and made to feel part of the bigger family in this home. A tailormade experience is what this home offers!

Before Pinehurst, my relative was in a controlling coercive relationship, he has since come back to being the man we knew. I think this is due to the care and attention that my relative thrives and needs. He now has a choice on everything he requires. Activities are of his choice with no pressure to
be involved.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.949)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.949) out of 10 for Pinehurst Care Centre 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 64 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 63 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 4.949 for Pinehurst Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (743 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 765 Ratings = 4.949
  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 Pinehurst Care Centre is based on 63 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 63 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.

Job Title: Centre Manager

My care background started in 1986 after I had my children. I worked in a large nursing home as a Senior Carer working nights. NVQ 1 was introduced I started studying to further my knowledge. In 1991 I moved out to Berkshire and worked at a local care home for twelve years where I continued to progress my education completing NVQ 2,3,4 and my R.M. Award. After this, I was given the opportunity to work at a specialist Dementia care home as their Centre Manager in a turnaround role. I did this for two and a half years before joining the Pinehurst Care Centre in 2009 where I have had the most wonderful journey and met some incredible people along the way.

Job Title: Activities Manager Joined: 2014

I have worked at Pinehurst since 2014 after I had my children. I was looking for a part-time job that fitted in with my life. Little did I realise that Pinehurst would become such a huge part of my life. Every resident becomes part of our family. I love getting to know everyone and to help them realise that life in a care home can be fun and exciting and that there are still many things they can learn and new experiences they can have. One of my favourite moments was when one of our residents who was 103 at the time was having her hair done by our hairdresser and I had organised for an Alpaca to visit the home. She turned to me and said, "Well that is a first, I have never seen an Alpaca walk into a hairdressers!"


Nothing here is too much trouble and we love learning new hobbies and adding more ideas to our schedule. We enjoy regular Zumba and Pilates sessions, we have a range of entertainers, we love animal therapy, reflexology and also enjoy arts and crafts. We have a lovely garden for anyone with green fingers, or a pub in the garden with a TV to catch up on sporting events.
