My mum has been living at Wild Acres for the past eighteen months. She is being looked after and cared for very well. The staff are all very welcoming and friendly. The home is always clean and tidy. From what I have seen of the meals - they always look appetising. I am always kept informed of any changes
in my mum's condition. Thank you to all the staff at Wild Acres.

I have the greatest respect for your staff who do the long shift, and always seem cheerful and polite and work very hard. Your premises have a nice atmosphere about them and are welcoming. I like the way you treat your residents as individuals and listen to their needs, it can't be an easy task. All
your members of staff seem to "work" together to provide a safe and welcoming home for old folk in their latter years, my wife and I are confident that her mother is in a safe and caring place, thank you all so much

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The standard of care here is at a level that all of our family who visit regularly would describe as excellent. The additions of particular focuses on extra curricular activities provide valuable social interactions as well as added benefits of movement and concentrations which mum clearly much enjoys.
The interest shown by all the staff members is a credit to the supportive leadership, in so much as we feel that the care is a prerequisite of the roles, and the staff perform their duties with a genuine interest in the well being of the residences a whole.

Since becoming a full time resident at Wild Acres my dad has received outstanding care. Its a small size which meant that all the staff know my dad and his needs very well. It is a great comfort to me to know that my dad is safe but also encouraged to take part in activities to the best of his ability.
He is always treated with kindness and respect and I couldn't ask for anymore.

I moved my mum into Wildacres in early March from another local care home after I had first-hand experience of their care and compassion for my terminally ill husband in January. I am so happy with the way she has settled in and is being looked after. All the staff are amazing, and nothing is too
much trouble

I have been impressed with everything here since the day I walked in the door! Staff are friendly and caring. Always polite and respectful. Cleanliness is top marks. This home does not have the smells associated with other care homes I have visited.
Cannot fault anything, top marks all round!

Wild Acres has been a blessing for us as a family as I was concerned when I knew my wife had to go into residential care. Throughout the process the staff were caring and respectful, easy to talk to and welcoming. My wife has been living there for 3 months now and they help her in a way that at 85 I
am no longer able to. The team there, along with the caring and professional manageress, mean that I am reassured that my wife is in capable hands throughout her stay there. I would highly recommend Wild Acres and the team who work there.

My dad was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer and, as he became less able, made the decision to move to Wild Acres. As soon as he arrived he felt safe and comfortable and the outstanding care from all staff enabled us all to spend his remaining time together without worry. I can't thank the team enough
for everything they did, going above and beyond at every possible opportunity.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.793)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.793) out of 10 for Wild Acres 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 68 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 68 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 4.793 for Wild Acres is calculated as follows: ( (656 Excellents x 5) + (142 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 811 Ratings = 4.793
  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 Wild Acres is based on 68 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 26 registered maximum number of service users is 5.2, which has been reached with 68 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.
