Review from J F (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 July 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
There has been a recent change in management, however, the standard of care has remained the same. There appears to be a consistent staff team, both permanent and agency which is good. My mother is not an easy resident when it comes to personal care. I would be pleased to see a more proactive approach
to regular staff dealing with this. I feel this needs to come from management supporting staff to tackle this. Overall I am so, so happy this is where my mother is living. Thank you.

Mum has been with you since February 2023. She calls Sir Aubrey Ward home. She is very happy, loves the staff, food and is very happy with her room. She's made friends and enjoys the activities. It is a pleasure to visit her and know she is settled, safe and happy.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The rooms for residents are large and airy, with enough room for occupants to bring their own chairs, rugs, pictures and personal odds and ends to make them feel at home.
The first thing I noticed on my first (and subsequent) visit was the total lack of urine and cooking smells. The air is clean and
pleasant. The home is well-maintained and decorated (painted surfaces, general cleaning, etc). There is a happy atmosphere, and the Friday morning "choir" is well attended by residents and visitors. The staff are friendly and always willing to help or chat with residents.

Review from Yvonne H (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 February 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
The dining room needs urgent attention.
Food very poor, cold and too much on plates. All need to be of a better standard. A fully trained chef is needed - (do kitchen staff taste the food - I don't think so - marks out of ten (3).
Also, more interaction is required with residents.
This has been
mentioned to all staff, but nothing has changed in months.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Really quite outstanding experiences in recent weeks since my mother's move to Sir Aubrey Ward. Staff are clearly focused on good resident-centred care. They show confidence and are friendly, caring and respectful. I've seen staff in difficult circumstances dealing with challenging situations with patience,
good humour and care. There is lots of evidence of commitment to good supervision and training, clear communication and openness to feedback and learning from experience. The environment is bright and clean and is well maintained inside and out. Visitors are always made to feel welcome and appreciated.
I'm so pleased to have found such a great place for Mum to live.

The manager gave an excellent speech regarding the situation at Sir Aubrey Ward when he took over less than a year ago. He outlines what is needed to be done and what had been done. We were served with excellent food and drink and were well looked after. I heartly recommend this care facility.

It's easy to put into words what makes Sir Aubrey Ward special, and that is the people; from the managers to the carers to the unsung heroes such as the activities team, kitchen staff and admin - all lovely. The carers treat my grandmother with care and respect. The manager is a very visible manager,
always available to speak and is an excellent communicator with both residents and families.

Staff generally appear friendly and caring towards residents and visitors.
Manager is visible and approachable.
Disappointing to see the general inability of staff to pick up litter around the garden area (discarded Jubilee flags, masks, tissues) and to clear crockery.
Reception staff are reluctant
to take phone messages for residents.

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.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 39 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. 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:

  1. 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
  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 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:

    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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 39 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.
