Cameron House is extremely well managed throughout. From the staff, food choice and the overall appearance of inside the building and also the garden's outside. It gives me peace of mind to know that my mum is in very experienced hands and is safe and secure.

My father has been a resident in Cameron House for the past year. He is very happy there and has a good rapport with the staff. Additional staff would be welcome but obviously not cost effective from a business point of view.

Cameron House is a lovely care home beautifully furnished, light, bright and welcoming. The manager is absolutely brilliant and only too happy to sort out any problems or queries, all the carers do their job well with patience and understanding. The food is excellent and plentiful. I could not wish
for a better place for my husband.

Mum's dementia suddenly got a lot worse following an infection and we quickly had to find help for her. She could not look after herself and had no sense of time or place. We found Cameron House close to mum and we are so pleased there was a place and she was accepted. We no longer have to worry about
her a she is in the best of care. Her medicines, her fluids and food intake, her cleanliness and dressing are all supervised. The home is clean, rooms are good and there are always activities being put on.
The staff, management, everyone is so caring, helpful, patient and are just brilliant.
Whilst mums dementia will not improve her overall health and wellbeing has enormously. Thank you so much

Cameron House came highly recommended by family, friends and Gp's. My mum gets looked after very well by staff, it's very comforting to know that my mum is safe and happy. Home is very clean food is excellent. I cannot help to say that Cameron House is just simply the best and it ticks all the needs
that my mother needs. I am very happy with everything.

I have found the manager of this home to be very informative and very helpful. My mother had problems settling in but was helped on every level to adjust to her new life in a care home. We were able to place a lot of her own belongings in her room which made things familiar for her which helped her
settle.

Brother settled in well but doesn't join in activities but that's just the way he is. Cleanliness absolutely excellent, food choices are very good and cooked well. Staff friendly and level of care excellent. The expense of this and mainly all care homes is unfair, especially to people who own their
own houses as people who don't get the same care! For free! Or at Government expense! My brother was a rear-gunner war hero, helped Great Britain win the war, was so brave and worked hard but is penalised, he deserves to be looked after at this high standard without losing his home.

Mum has been a resident at Cameron House for 18 months and is in a reassuring and caring environment. Many of the staff have worked together for a long time and create a great atmosphere for all who come to stay or visit. This is not a care home, it is a home that cares.

My mother is very happy at Cameron House, she enjoys the entertainment and company of the staff and residents. She is very well looked after and the food is exceptionally good. Her room is always clean and tidy. Her washing is always lovely and clean. I am so happy and don't need to worry about her
at all.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.824)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.824) out of 10 for Cameron 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.824 for Cameron House is calculated as follows: ( (118 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 142 Ratings = 4.824

  • 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 Cameron House is based on 12 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 44 registered maximum number of service users is 8.8, which has been reached with 12 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.
