My sister choose Peasmarsh Place for some respite care, mainly due to it's outstanding location.


The location and gardens are truly lovely, but the care provided by the staff is out of this world. The establishment on the ground is headed up by the manager, who with her team go the extra length for

all the residents to make it as much as a home from home experience.


The internal appearance is tired, in my view it could do with a fresh coat of paint & carpets, but this is a old property and as such is probably listed...


Residents activities are very good, but there are currently none at the weekend, which is a real shame, during my visits they appeared to be well supported by the residents.


There is No mini bus or transport available to take the residents out, which I find strange as all other establishments I looked into offered this as a facility, there view was it was always very well received when any trips were available.


Maybe the above could be looked into ?

Reply from Steve Winter, Director at Peasmarsh Place

Thank you for your feedback on the service which we were able to provide to your Sister during her stay with us. It is reassuring to hear what a good job the Manager and her team are making of ensuring everyone is so well looked after at Peasmarsh Place. Your comments on the environment are noted and you are correct that we have to take extra time to address the issues arising from a property which is listed as an historic building. I amPleased to say however, that those issues are being progressed in order that we can refresh, yet maintain the stately character of the home.The need for weekend scheduled activities has already been resolved with our recruitment of extra staff to support the delivery of that, without detracting from the overall care service required.

It is difficult to judge a home as all reidence needs are different some need more help than others, mums care was excellent as you can see by the options below, as she was not much into activities, she chose her own amusement, food and drink is might have been nice to have the choice of two main dishes
rather than just the one- only other option was jacket potato or omlet but plenty to drink. Value for money if you was to add up the cost of having 24 hour care at home and the nursing expenses etc. then the care home fee has to be a better option.

Thank you for your kind review of our service. I am pleased to learn that we were able to meet your Mother' s needs so well whilst she was with us at Peasmarsh Place.

There is no doubt when weather permits added benefits will accrue from the outdoors .

My mother moved into Peasmarsh Place in January.
The staff were very welcoming, respectful and kind and my mother has settled in extremely well.
I was impressed by the highly detailed care planning and records taken to support and provide continuity of care for the service users.
I hope that the
management and staff team are aware of how appreciated they are. The house and grounds are lovely but it's the genuine care that makes Peasmarsh Place a great place to live.

My sister had an emergency need for a stay in a secure and watchful environment, and my urgent enquiry as to whether Peasmarsh Place might be able to provide this was met with a very positive and reassuring response. My sister was quickly seen, and her acceptability was quickly confirmed, with Peasmarsh
Place taking control of overseeing her removal from the hospital. She was very happy with her stay and appreciated the activities, which I understand she was encouraged to undertake. Her stay lasted approximately ten days.

My parents were made to feel welcome for the three weeks respite that they had at Peasmarsh Place. They were well cared for, nothing was too much trouble. They joined in activities and didn’t want for anything. The staff were all very nice. Lovely spacious rooms and bathrooms, relaxing lounge rooms,
beautiful grounds and the food was delicious.

My sister-in-law is very happy overall with the care home. She finds the staff pleasant and mostly helpful. She is treated with dignity and respect, and her wishes are taken into account. Her accommodation is very comfy and clean, and she enjoys the activities and stimuli provided by the activities
coordinator. For us as a family, it is nice to know that she is in a safe and secure environment, although she has mentioned she would like a bit more one-to-one interaction, but this is difficult as all the staff are so busy. We are pleased that she is close by and we can visit whenever we like, which is one of the things we looked for when helping her to choose the home.

Lovely people, lovely place and lovely food. My mother would never actually have been happy in a care home, but she does seem comfortable and content, and very well looked after. Everyone seems to treat her as an individual - it really doesn't have the feel of an 'institution' and they constantly go
the extra mile to take care of her. Thank you so much.

After many weeks in a hospital environment, my wife's disposition improved noticeably within a few days. I feel certain this was due to the personal friendly treatment she received from the staff.
Myself and other family members visiting have been warmly welcomed whenever we visit. There is a positive
atmosphere in the home and the staff go about their various tasks with a good attitude and commitment.
The Home is always clean and tidy. It would be difficult to find another with this service level.

My mother initially went to Peasmarsh Place for respite care whilst I was on holiday but decided to stay permanently. She has been there since May 2022 and has now come to think of Peasmarsh Place as her home. She is very happy and settled there.
She has very poor eyesight and needs assistance with
many everyday things. The staff are lovely and are always on hand to help her. The food is good and Mum always enjoys it.
Mum has a lovely room and her own bathroom.
She enjoys going outside when the weather is nice and sits on the benches on the terrace whenever she can. The grounds are well kept and there are benches around the gardens to sit on. There is even a mobility scooter that the residents can use in the garden but Mum has not been on this due to her poor eyesight.
It gives me peace of mind knowing that Mum is being very well cared for at Peasmarsh Place and I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone looking for quality residential care.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.693)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.693) out of 10 for Peasmarsh Place is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.693 for Peasmarsh Place is calculated as follows: ( (148 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 199 Ratings = 4.693

  • 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 Peasmarsh Place is based on 17 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 24 registered maximum number of service users is 4.8, which has been reached with 17 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.
