As an ex-resident of the home, I can offer nothing but praise for this home, the staff and the care they provided you could not wish for more, and I wish them every success in their expectations both staff and residents. I found the premises very clean, the food was excellent and they have a cook in
a million she is very understanding and helpful.
Love and best wishes to all.

My mother has lived at Applegarth Care Home for over three years now, her health is much improved and she is very happy. All the staff are absolutely marvellous, kind, caring, compassionate and always very welcoming when we visit.
I have peace of mind that she's no longer on her own or worrying she's
wandering outside her home, she is being well cared for and my heartfelt thanks goes to all those lovely carers, they do a wonderful job.

Reply from Michael Fuller, Home Manager at Applegarth Care Home

Hi Marie and thank you for your review, it means so much to us all at Applegarth to know that we are doing everything right for your mum and if there's anything we can do, please don't hesitate to liaise with us.

The staff at Applegarth are very good with residents. They do activities with them and temperature checks are done throughout the day. Mum always looks clean and tidy. Their meals look very nice with a nice choice on the menu board and always offering drinks and their time and the care staff are very
friendly with us when we visit.

We have complete confidence that my father's well-being will always be put first by the caring team at Applegarth. His

My friend recently moved to Applegarth following rapid mental deterioration. Although not a 'super smart' place, the home appears very homely and the staff are very friendly and caring. My friend has settled in very quickly and says 'she couldn't be in a better place and the staff 'can't do enough'
for her'. Whenever I've phoned the manager and staff are very helpful. In person, they are welcoming and caring. I cannot answer all the ratings as have not seen or experienced them.

Over the last 12 months Mum's health, both mental and physical, has posed challenges and I am grateful to the staff for their professional abilities to deal with all that life has had to offer. Their kindness and patience have been exemplary. During the lockdown period, the small physical size of Applegarth
has meant that space is at a premium, but again, the staff have worked hard to keep activities and entertainment going. The better weather coming will be a bonus to everyone. The plus side to the size of the home being that the atmosphere is more homely than a Care Home. Keep up your exceptional work, Applegarth.

Reply from Jan Edmonds, Executive at Applegarth Care Home

Hi Phillip, thank you very much for your lovely review. We are also looking forward to the warmer weather where we can all enjoy meeting up in the fresh air.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mother is in Applegarth Care Home as she did not wish to live alone after the death of her husband especially as she has dementia. The staff at the care home are very friendly and there are plenty for the number of residents. The staff know the resident's family and encourage them to stay in contact.
The staff arrange plenty of activities for the residents to take part in if they wish to keep them active in mind and body, as well as keeping them supplied with drinks and cakes between meals. The staff have asked about family members whose photos are in her room and they encourage her to talk about them. My mother thinks she is in a guest house or hotel as it is very homely. My mother celebrated a big birthday in January 2021 and although the family could not be there because of lockdown the care home made it a special day and took photos to send to the family on the day. My mother is very happy there and we the family know that she is safe and extremely well cared for.

I have always had peace of mind that my Mother's needs are met, both physical and emotional, she is always happy when I visit her. I saw a massive weight drop from her shoulders since she moved in Dec 2016. She had no more worries and stresses and started enjoying life again. I can honestly say that
she has a better quality of life since living at Applegarth, rather than living alone for some years. The staff are amazing and I have nothing but praise for them, particularly this last year. As an NHS worker, I fully appreciate the hard efforts they have made to keep the residents and themselves safe and well in extremely difficult circumstances. I am always singing Applegarth's praises both personally and professionally and will continue to do so.

This care home seems very friendly and welcoming. They have planned activities and they fundraised to give the clients some special days out. They have a nice garden when the weather is good. The food menu looks and smells very good. The only one thing I would say is it would be nice to have another
room as when visiting it can be very busy.

Reply from Jan Edmonds, Executive at Applegarth Care Home

My mother has been in the home for 2 years, almost exclusively bed bound. I visit 2/3 times a week and have found the home truly excellent. She can be challenging but is treated with utmost dignity and respect. Staff are always willing to help, cheery and wonderful with mum. Never once have I doubted
her level of care!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.785)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.785) out of 10 for Applegarth Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.785 for Applegarth Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (253 Excellents x 5) + (58 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 316 Ratings = 4.785

  • b) 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 27 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 27 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
