  • Hargrave House, Stansted Mountfitchet
Hargrave House care home is a listed building situated in the Saxon village of Stansted Mountfitchet in Essex. Built originally in 1875 in the ‘Jacobean’ style of red brick and stone dressing, AgeCare acquired the property in 2001 and developed it significantly over the coming years to house 58 elderly residents.

Residents can enjoy picturesque, tranquil surroundings and a short walk into the village centre for those that are ambulant. The home is split into two wings, one designated for residential care and a further secure wing developed specifically for those that suffer with various forms of dementia.

The home has the air of a magnificent five star hotel, with many amenities for the most discerning of residents.

Review from Mrs H D (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 July 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother has only been at Hargrave House for a short while but so far I am very happy with the way ALL the staff have cared for my mother & have responded to her various needs & demands. My mother adores all the carers, they are very smiley, kind & responsive, & everybody has helped her in getting
through the very difficult early stages of going into a home. My mother's room is an absolute delight; the attention to detail in the decor throughout the entire home makes 100% difference; it feels a 'happy' place to walk into, & as much as is possible, much like a home.

Review from Janet A (Son of Resident) published on 6 July 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Had a lot of support for our mum who has been quite hard to deal with alot of the time. The home has stuck with mum even when showing some aggression at times . When I look around the home I see how clean and decorated to a very high standard . Makes you feel very relaxed when you arrive , always able
to help yourself to a cup of tea . Staff are always very friendly and approachable to ask a question . The staff keep us informed if anything happens to our mum and deal with any problems .
Felt very lucky that mum was able to gain a place at the home .

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Very pleased with the care home, mum is very happy here. Food is excellent, I know this because she is eating, which she did not do at her last care home.


Would be nice if my mother had a bigger room on the ground floor but I assume everyone asks for this!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My oldest and dearest friend, who is a resident, and her family tell me they are very happy that she is in such a fine care home (as I am). The staff I have spoken to are most friendly and courteous and it is obvious that they are very fond of my friend. Thank you for looking after her who I have known
since 1965 !! We are the same age! Yours most sincerely.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.461)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.461) out of 10 for Hargrave 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 9 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 4.785 for Hargrave House is calculated as follows: ( (86 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.785
  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 4.676 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hargrave House is based on 9 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 = 3.9
    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 58 registered maximum number of service users is 11.6. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.6 = 0.776
  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.
