From the very first visit to view the home, I felt everyone was very friendly and welcoming, and the team was very professional. Mum was very happy the month she was in respite, and would be happy for her to stay at Applegarth full time when she needs to.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would like to extend my sincere gratitude and appreciation to the entire team at Applegarth Care Home for the exceptional standard of care and compassion consistently shown to my nan and all the residents. From the moment she arrived, the staff made every effort to ensure she felt safe, valued, and
truly at home.


The warmth, professionalism, and dedication of the team are evident in every interaction. It is clear that the staff go above and beyond not only to meet the individual needs of the residents, but also to promote their well-being, dignity, and independence. The environment at Applegarth is always welcoming, clean, and calm, and there is a real sense of community and kindness among both staff and service users.

All staff at the home take interest in residents care. They have made sure that my mum doesn't get lazy and she uses her arms to reach her walker. Everyone is always polite & friendly. Residents have activities and are encouraged to join in.

I have been a resident in Applegarth Care Home for 1.5 years having had no previous experience of residential care. Once I settled into the system I realised I was very fortunate to be here. The staff are kind and thoughtful. The meals etc are excellent, the room is comfortable and I have no reason
to complain.

I came to visit an ex-neighbour and friend. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. They kindly brought tea and home made cake. All the residents seemed well cared for and content. I was impressed by the atmosphere. Our friend's room was well furnished but rather lacking in anything personal
from his flat. Staff responded very rapidly when my friend accidentally pressed the call button. Overall very impressed with warm welcome.

It was like one big homely family, a place I would choose if I have enough money, as I visit every fortnight with 3 other friends. But I don't know much it would cost to be a resident, bearing in mind I'm 88 with arthritis in both knees and ankles.

My sister has now been cared for at Applegarth for more than a year. Although I am unable to visit on a regular basis I am convinced, both by her responses to my questions and the support shown by staff, not only during my visits but by their keeping in touch at other crucial times, that she is recieving
the best possible care. Thank you is inadequate but they are the only words to express my gratitud.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.823)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.823) out of 10 for Applegarth Care Home 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.823 for Applegarth Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (274 Excellents x 5) + (50 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 328 Ratings = 4.823
  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 Applegarth Care Home is based on 28 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 20 registered maximum number of service users is 4, which has been reached with 28 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.
