Review from Phillipa W (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 January 2022 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
In general, this is a very 'sweet' care home. I think the small number of residents keeps it more personal. Difficult to review fully when my mother is now beyond being able to speak, walk or function as before. I did mention her hair which looked awful, but I appreciate it's hard, but was pleased to
see she seemed clean with a nice supper.

Review from Louise C (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 January 2022 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother has been at Grace House for two years. The staff are amazing, very kind and patient. My mother has Alzheimer's and can be very challenging, the staff never get angry or frustrated even though she can be extremely difficult. Warm, friendly, lovely atmosphere. The food is excellent. Lots of
activities with the wonderful staff. Grace House is a happy home and I would recommend it highly.

Review from Susan K (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 December 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother was here for just over eleven years and was as happy as anyone would be in a care home. Care improved when the new owner took over. Rather upsetting that my mother's care was so expensive (because she had the funds) when many other residents received exactly the same care funded by the state.
Reply from Ashley Jones, Director at Grace House Care Home Ltd

Thank you so much for your lovely review, your mother was a lovely lady. I'm pleased to hear that you felt care continued to improve when our family took Grace House over 3 years ago.
I understand your frustration with the cost of care for private funders but hope that you feel our rates were very reasonable when compared to other local providers.

Very caring management and staff. My relative is happy and contented, feels safe and well - when she was at home alone she was none of these things and put herself in danger. She is now healthier and so much happier.

Review from J S (Wife of Resident) published on 17 November 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My husband has been living in Grace House for the last five years. The home is clean and tidy with a little garden. The residents are very well looked after by the dedicated staff, always treated with kindness and respect. There is a lot of activities and entertainment provided by visiting performers.
The staff are very friendly, caring and approachable, always ready to listen and discuss suggestions and make residents and visitors feel welcome. There is a daily choice of healthy meals and treats. It has a happy and homely atmosphere. Definitely worth recommending as a good care home.

Review from Tanya H (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 November 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum stayed here for two weeks to allow my dad to have a break. The space is clean and comfortable and she had a lovely en suite room. The staff all seem very happy working there and they all get on well together. I really felt she was well taken care of during the two weeks. There is a daily schedule
of activities to keep the residents busy which includes quizzes, singing, puzzles etc.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.725)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.725) out of 10 for Grace House Care Home Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.725 for Grace House Care Home Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (90 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.725
  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 Grace House Care Home Ltd is based on 10 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 22 registered maximum number of service users is 4.4, which has been reached with 10 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.
