With my wife now a resident for five months, it is very apparent that she has settled in very well indeed. She eats well, takes her medicines and participates generally very well in group activities. The term 'care' is very much the ethos that makes Wild Acres a desired new home and can recommend it
to others.

My mother-in-law has been a resident in Wild Acres since January 2023. She has received exemplary care and attention since she moved here. A lovely quote she made when she first moved in: 'I never wanted to move to a home but this home is my home and I love it.' Thank you staff, this has really made
her life happy.

He attended the summer BBQ held for residents and family. It was a great experience and we were made to feel very welcome. The food and drink was to an excellent standard as was the singer who sung everyone's favourites. Unfortunately because of the weather he couldn't experience the wonderful garden
and patio area very much.

Dad continues to thrive at Wild Acres. Despite his cognitive issues, his health is in good order and he is well looked after. The care, dedication and professionalism of staff ensures his needs are met. We're so happy as a family that Dad is settled, feels at home and is part of the Wild Acres family.

My brother-in-law initially came to Wild Acres for a month's respite care. However, it soon became evident that he needed more care than he believed and he is still in residence. The staff here are caring and compassionate and always tailor their care to individual needs. Nothing is too much trouble
for them, and the home itself is very welcoming to residents and visitors alike. The freshly cooked food is always nutritious and beautifully presented. My mother was also a resident of this home, and I have no hesitation in recommending it. The activities are many and varied and this home also has a beautiful garden, which the residents are encouraged to use.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.797)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.797) out of 10 for Wild Acres 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 69 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 69 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 4.797 for Wild Acres is calculated as follows: ( (669 Excellents x 5) + (141 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 823 Ratings = 4.797

  • 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 Wild Acres is based on 69 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 26 registered maximum number of service users is 5.2, which has been reached with 69 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.
