I come to the home weekly to visit my father with dementia.
I find all the staff welcoming, friendly & helpful
The place is always clean & tidy, and so with my father, they all look after him well & fill me in with how he's been keeping.
He couldn't be in better hands.

My sister has been a resident at Enstone House for over a year. She is quite settled and happy, the staff are all very caring, and she is well looked after. My sister cannot do much at all for herself, there is always someone on hand to help with her needs.

Review from P M (Son of Resident) published on 25 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has lived at Enstone since 2019. She has thrived since she has been there. The staff are all very caring and kind to mum and I feel that her needs are very well taken care of and you can see how she interacts with the staff that she is happy there. She has recently taken a turn for the worse
health wise and is receiving end of life care. Enstone were very happy to provide this for her so she didn't have to stay in hospital. The care she has received in the last couple of weeks at Enstone have been exemplary. You can see that the staff really care about their residents.
Would highly recommend Enstone if you are considering a care home place for a loved one.
The care home manager has always been very supportive and helpful to us. The home does not have a high turnover of staff which is a very good sign of a happy workplace.

My 96-year-old grandmother has been staying at Enstone House since January 2024, she's well looked after and she always praises how good the food is, Enstone house is very quiet compared to lots of other care homes I've visited
The manageress is always very approachable and will look to resolve any
situations that arise.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My brother has been a resident at Enstone House for the last 7 months, and I cannot rate it highly enough. Since being at Enstone my brother has stabilised, and this is due to the kind and helpful environment that he is now in. The staff go the extra mile for the residents and are very friendly, thoughtful,
supportive, and above all respectful of each individual's needs. Not only have the staff taken excellent care of my brother, they also have extended the same kindness and help to me!

As the Vicar of Enstone it is my privilege to hold regular services for residents of Enstone House. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and the residents are well cared for and from my experience treated with respect. I would have no hesitation in considering Enstone House for members of my own
family should the need arise.

My grandmother has been at Enstone Care Home for over a year and has received truly exceptional care and support from the wonderful staff there. They take the time to read her the letters she receives and are always on hand to go the extra mile, even going as far as to help choose and supply her outfit
for a forthcoming wedding, as well as encouraging her to socialise with the other guests and providing numerous opportunities for excursions out of the home. A special thank you to the manager, who is so wonderfully caring and supportive.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.813)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.813) out of 10 for Enstone 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.813 for Enstone House is calculated as follows: ( (105 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 128 Ratings = 4.813
  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 Enstone House is based on 11 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 36 registered maximum number of service users is 7.2, which has been reached with 11 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.
