The manager was amazing with my friend who has dementia. She made him feel secure about the change and going into a home. We visited yesterday and felt it was very homely with a lovely atmosphere, and was made to feel very welcome.

My mother was a resident at Pinehurst Care Centre, Crowthorne for 5.5 years. During her time there she enjoyed life to the full. She entered into the regular activities arranged for the residents and over the years went on outings to local sites and had meals out. She was very well cared for by the
caring staff. She died peacefully in her sleep last month, aged 99.5 years. I was called to her bedside and was able to be with her in her last moments. I could not have wished for a better place for her end. Everyone was so kind, respectful and professional. I thank them all.

My dad spent his last two years at Pinehurst and was very well looked after and cared for. The staff are extremely kind and caring towards the residents and their extended family. During my dad's last hours, the staff were extremely supportive of us. Cannot speak highly enough of all the staff and the
management team. The home is homely and always immaculately clean and tidy.

I came here temporarily for personal reasons to be near my husband who lives close by. I had fractured my knee.
I found the staff to be very caring to some difficult people at meal times, attention was paid that all were eating. The kitchen sparkled, very clean.
The toilets/wet room were always very
clean. I would certainly come again.

My mum has been a resident at Pinehurst Care Center for nearly two years and we are very happy with the home. Despite the staffing challenges for the care industry Pinehurst has maintained a fantastic team of people with long service, who know the resident's habits and needs enabling them to provide
the best of care. There is always an activity going on and they provide excellent updates for family and friends via a private social media site. As my mum's needs have changed their care has moved with her, always ensuring she is treated correctly in a kind, caring and professional way.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was a resident for nearly four years, the compassion and guidance during her one year end of life situation was of great help and comfort to me. Therefore, when in a similar situation with my beloved husband, there was only one choice for me. Pinehurst Care Centre is so well managed, the carers
are passionate about the people in their care, giving superb care and support and treating people with dignity. They take pride in their work and there is a happy atmosphere. During my husband's three weeks in hospital he did not receive a body wash, at Pinehurst he is cleaned after every 'motion' and body washed at least once daily.

My father-in-law has been in Pinehurst Care Centre since December 2022. He loves being with others in this facility and participates in all activities every day. While he lived at home he wouldn't do anything other than watch TV or play on his iPad.
He is very happy and the staff do a wonderful job
in caring for him. I can't rate this care home enough, they have helped by making his life a happy one.

My mum arrived confused and unable to walk. This was after leaving another care home in the area. Her mood was very low and frightened and also unable to talk. Now she's in Pinehurst she's clean, talking and even laughing. Staff have so much care and really kind. The support they give is remarkable
and always with a smile. They give 100%.

My mother went to Pinehurst Care Centre almost two years ago. The Care home is well run and the staff really care about the elderly residents. Sadly she died this week and the Management team kept me fully informed of her progress until her last days. They were thoughtful and caring. Mum loved being
there. She loved the music and the songs she sang with the Carer’s. The Carer’s always stopped for a chat and a song with Mum. Every time I saw her she told me that she was very happy. I can truly say that I am so pleased that she spent her last years in comfort and contentment. Thank you to all the staff at Pinehurst.

When you place your loved one in a care home you need to be assured that they will be looked after and given all the attention and kindness they need.
This is what I am happy to say my loved one receives.
The care and affection from all members of staff is obvious and I have always felt comfortable
and at peace that she is safe and loved.
Without a doubt a happy environment.

My father was not happy when we first put him in a home due to dementia and was quite aggressive towards the staff, however, after a very short time, he settled in and is very happy. He even said he loves it there and looks so well compared to when living independently and is no longer lonely. Great
activities, especially the sing-along!

Mum has been in Pinehurst for two years now and is very settled. The staff take great care of her and try to cater for all her needs - she has Parkinson's and is very dependent on help with most everyday tasks. They offer entertainment to keep the residents stimulated, although no one is forced to take
part! The home is very clean and the staff caring. I know that Mum is safe living in Pinehurst, which was always a major worry when she was living alone.

Mum stayed for a respite week. She had the loveliest of welcomes to settle her apprehensions on arrival.
Thanks to the incredible sensitivity and encouragement of all staff she greatly benefited from the social environment.
Nothing was too much trouble and the atmosphere was warm and homely. Perfect.

Pinehurst is the most kind, supportive and caring anyone could wish for. In addition to taking care our aunt, they also support family members through what can be difficult and stressful times for resident loved-ones. We cannot recommend Pinehurst highly enough.

Although Mum has only been at Pinehurst Care Centre for a short time, we are immensely grateful and extremely impressed with the quality of care the team has provided.
Their kindness and thoughtfulness have been outstanding and nothing is too much trouble. They have quickly understood Mum's specific
needs and go out of their way to offer her reassurance and a comforting hug.
They have also provided much-needed emotional support and practical advice to us, her family, so that we are better able to help Mum settle in.
Our sincere thanks go to the entire team.

My husband found it difficult when admitted, but now agrees he is in the best place for him. The staff had their work cut out over quite a few months, but due to their hard work, we can now visit without it ending in tears. The staff are lovely, so friendly with a constant smile on their faces.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 88 year old mother has been a resident for nearly 18 months, after being unable to look after herself satisfactorily and was moved in during Covid restrictions. Pinehurst Care Centre were extremely accommodating and helped her settle in, putting a TV up on the wall along with pictures and a custom
built bookshelf to make it more homely. They also provided medical care, regular assistance with bathing and a gluten free diet plan for her - all of which she was struggling to do for herself. Mum can be quite stubborn, but the manager has worked her magic and got her participating in some of the great range of activities that take place. She particularly enjoys the art club and going outside in the garden. The manager and the team are wonderful and clearly experienced not only in the care of the residents but also in that of the family. We have been so pleased with our choice of care home and have no hesitation in recommending Pinehurst as a small and personable care home.

My husband recently spent three weeks in respite care at Pinehurst Care Centre. He was provided with a clean, comfortable, well-equipped room, and the food was plentiful and enjoyable. I was pleased to see that medication was carefully administered and recorded. All staff were very friendly and helpful,
and it was obvious to me that Pinehurst is very efficiently managed. Knowing that my husband would be happy to spend more time there in the future is very reassuring to me and to the rest of our family.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.964)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.964) 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 5.0 out of 5 from 60 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 59 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 4.964 for Pinehurst Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (704 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 718 Ratings = 4.964
  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 59 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 59 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.
