Just want to say what a lovely home for residents this is. The garden is beautiful and very therapeutic. The residents are lovely and most get on with each other. They are all well cared for and I can see this in my mother-in-law's care that she is receiving. No sooner had I questioned a red eye was
it attended to. The residence all have their independence around the home in around the grounds. The carers are exceptional.

I visited today. I was quite shocked at how dirty the floor was in my mother-in-law's room. She doesn't move out of her chair much and it was obvious no one had cleaned underneath it. Care staff are very nice, food is adequate but not very inviting.

Reply from Wendy Luck, Home Manager at Sir Aubrey Ward House

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. The Housekeeper has now rectified with immediate action, staff to check daily around her chair. Please do not hesitate to speak to me anytime regarding any concerns regarding cleaning. I would be happy for you to meet with the chef to discuss the food, we always appreciate feedback to help us to improve.

We have recently moved my mother-in-law into Sir Aubrey Ward House and we have been extremely impressed by the overall care and efficiency of the move. Everyone has been professional and kind. This has made my mother-in-law's transition from home into a care home very easy and she has settled very quickly.
Sir Aubrey Ward itself has great facilities, a stunning garden and a fantastic events programme. The home is comfortable, extremely clean and offers great food!

Sir Aubrey Ward House has a very welcoming feel, th staff are friendly, caring and have given my mother a much time and support that she needs to settle in, encouraging her to join in the social activities and join in. Nothing is too much trouble. The activities are relaxed and fun and my mother is
so enjoying herself. It is taking my mother time to settle into her new home and a new routine but the staff are aways on hand to help.

My mother is a new resident at St Aubrey Ward House. The home is a very happy bright and cheerful place to live in and to visit. Has a lovely garden area which is kept beautifully. The staff are all so warm and helpful and willing to help with anything. All staff are so caring from the care staff, the
maintenance men, the girls who provide a great selection of morning and afternoon activities, the administrator, receptionist and management staff. Feel they all go above and beyond to make sure residents and relatives are normally received and are happy.

My mother spent two weeks in the home as respite care for me and was very well looked after and although she doesn't remember even being there she had a good time and I could relax. When I went into see her she was enjoying a cuppa with another resident and having a chat...something she doesn't get
to do at home. She was also walking better as there are no stairs for her to climb whereas at home she is stuck in her bedroom as we only have an upstairs toilet.

The overall feel of the home is comfortable, safe and cozy. My mother has settled in well and gets along very well with the staff. Because of her dementia, communication can be difficult but all staff are patient and attend well to her needs.

My husband spent two weeks in Sir Aubrey Ward House in August 2023 as respite for myself (wife). When it became necessary for him to go into care permanently in October we were lucky that a permanent place was found for him as he was well looked after in the August, and as I don't drive and transport
would be difficult anywhere else myself and the family were happy that my husband is minutes away. The staff are amazing and always go the extra mile.

My mum has been a resident for about six months now. She has settled in and as a family we are happy, relieved and stress-less now. We could not ask for a better place for my mum. It is an open, welcoming place and close by so we can pop in easily. A special mention to the manager and the entertainment
team - superb! Well done and thank you.

I live in the West country, and as a result, I am only able to visit my mother on limited occasions. When I visit, I am so well looked after and made to feel very welcome. My mother is very well looked after and is very happy at the home. A big "thank you" to all the staff. You do a great job!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.757)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.757) out of 10 for Sir Aubrey Ward House 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 39 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 39 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 4.757 for Sir Aubrey Ward House is calculated as follows: ( (360 Excellents x 5) + (77 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 452 Ratings = 4.757

  • 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 Sir Aubrey Ward House is based on 39 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 39 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.
