Arbory Residential Home is dedicated to providing residents with the highest quality of life possible within an active, stimulating environment.

All of those living at the Arbory has dementia and it is the team's expertise in managing this need, and supporting families in the care of relatives, which helps to ensure that residents live life to the full.

Arbory is a unique care setting with a team and environment which really does ensure that a home-from-home feel exists throughout. Caring for those with dementia is a privilege for all. With the right care and support and a dedication to ensuring that each resident’s life is centred around meaningful activities, staff really can enhance the experiences of those they are here to serve.   

Care at Arbory is not about a diagnosis; it is about caring for people, who for whatever reason now require some help along the journey. The team is committed to providing an environment and service quality which reflects the home's commitment to enhancing the lives of those it supports.

Review from Margaret H (Wife of Resident) published on 8 May 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am very impressed with everything here - all the staff are so hard working and helpful. Visitors of the residents are welcome any time of the day or evening.
There is so much for the residents to enjoy each week in the way of entertainment, singers, musicians and plenty of activities.
A wonderful
place.

Review from Steven S (Son of Resident) published on 13 April 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I visited my mother at the beginning of April and she was in such a better mood and frame of mind than the last time. I know that this has a lot to do with her dementia but I believe it also has a lot to do with the team of carers on duty. On Saturday it was an amazing team of carers who give so much
to each resident and watching my mother being involved with so much made me feel very happy she is in their care and therefore yours as well. I believe that every one of them is a superhero.

Review from Maria D-P (Resident) published on 6 October 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad has settled in very well at Arbory Residential Home. It doesn't feel like a care home and is both welcoming and friendly. Every member of staff I have met is lovely and professional. As well as the homely decor, the gardens are also amazing with the fishpond, chickens, and budgies. I am extremely
happy that my dad is there and in good hands. I would have no hesitation in recommending Arbory Residential Home.

Review from Carole C (Stepdaughter of Resident) published on 27 June 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My step dad was only in Arbory for 7 weeks and sadly passed away at 94 years of age. Everything in Arbory was fantastic, clean, good food, lovely room, good interaction with staff. The staff were very caring and could not do enough for my step dad and us as a family, nothing was too much trouble. We
could not have wished for a better place for him to end his days.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.426)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.426) out of 10 for Arbory Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.426 for Arbory Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (121 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (25 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 188 Ratings = 4.426
  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 Arbory Residential Home is based on 13 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 13 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.
