It was difficult move from home to care home but the staff were so kind and diligent and soon picked up on her cheeky side. Within a week she looked her old self and is very content now. She is well looked after, both physically but also emotionally. I was worried when she went in but they seem to have
taken me under their wing too!

Can not fault the care and consideration this care home have shown my husband, in what might have been an altogether more difficult transition for us all.
They are thoughtful and caring and have helped us both adjust.

The care my dad receives is outstanding. The food is good and they are always doing activities. It is spotlessly clean. There is a warm, friendly atmosphere. They sometimes take them out. Dad often says to me: You couldn't have picked a better home for me!

Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
Whilst staff were kind and helpful whilst my dad was resident, it has become clear that there was some failings in basic care during his stay. This relates particularly to taking time to ensure his dentures were properly cleaned, removed and replaced daily. We had been reassured that this would be undertaken
daily when he was admitted into the care home from hospital but sadly it was not. This resulted in the dentures being lost and never found. (Lots of clothing also went missing during his 6 week stay). Once my father left the home communication has been very poor with calls and emails being ignored.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Upon visiting on behalf of my husband, I had a very good and positive feeling for the care home. Being a smaller home, they can offer more personalised care and support. It is very homesly and offers comfortable surroundings. The staff are all very pleasant and friendly and provide a high level of care.
The freshly prepared meals are wholesome and tasty and varied regularly. A good range of activities are on offer, and residents are encouraged to join in when they wish. I am very happy to have chosen here for my husband, and he is settling in and comfortable.

From day one, the management and staff have been very caring, kind and professional. Covid management is very thorough and effective and carried out safely. All medical issues are addressed promptly and efficiently. Communications with the home are stress-free, quick and always friendly. The manager
is excellent and the staff are so helpful, happy and kind. I feel we are extremely lucky for Dad to be so well cared for at Vallance. He has improved in his health and happiness beyond expectation. Thank you so much.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have known of Valance Care Home professionally since 2020 and personally for the past 18 months since my mother became a resident. Valance provides a high standard of care and support taking into consideration the overall holistic, emotional and psychological needs of my mother and provides a very
person-centred approach to her care. All staff are extremely friendly and have a good understanding of her needs as an individual. I am always kept informed of any changes in her needs, health and well-being and no stone is left unturned in supporting her and improving her quality of life. My mother is very happy at Valance and speaks well of the staff and care she receives. The manager at Valance is very professional and caring and goes out of her way to support my mother, as does her team of carers and I can not recommend this home enough. Valance has faced difficult times during Covid and despite this, has had no outbreaks of infection.
Reply from maria mirza, Owner at Vallance Residential Care Home

Many thanks for your kind words. Your mum is a joy to care for and we have taken great pride in staying covid free throughout this difficult time, long hope that this status continues. We understand the needs of our residents and our loving families and are always here for both sides. Many thanks again.

Mum is very settled at Vallance and she is very well looked after. Any health problems are picked up on by staff very quickly and are then dealt with very competently and sympathetically. She has little jobs to do around the home on a regular basis and joins in with the various activities that are laid
on every day or week.

My Mother moved into Vallance in February this year. I could not be happier with her care. She has a lovely room and I can see she is loved by all the staff. I worried very much that moving her into care at such an advanced age (92) and after many years of independence would lead to an inevitable decline.
Quite the opposite has happened. She is blooming!
Reply from kim munn, acting manager at Vallance Residential Care Home

Dear Peter
Many thanks for your review.
We are thrilled that yours and mum experience of our care home has had such a positive outcome.


As you stated that it is clear mum is loved by all and is a very big part of our family already.

My mother in law suffers from vascular dementia and still thinks she will return 'home' at some point.
Experience has shown this would not be practical or safe. Other than that, she is content at the home. She is always clean and well dressed. All the carers are kind and friendly. She is well looked
after and better off and healthier now at the home.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The Vallance seems to be a good care home. My brother lives there and he is well looked after. He eats well, has his medication managed well, is kept clean and presentable. He chooses not to participate in activities, but I think the home could try harder to persuade him to join in.
When he has disagreements
with the staff, they tell me and it is always caused by my brother being unreasonable. I think he is happy there.

My mum has been very happy at Vallance for many years. The staff are very friendly and go out of their what with residents and visitors. I've been especially impressed by the efforts staff go to on special days like birthdays, Christmas, Mother's day, Valentines etc. Also, staff try hard to cater to
residents' individual needs and preferences and residents always have a choice of food.

My sister is a different person now from when she took up residence at the end of August 2018.
She is now more positive, memory has improved tremendously. She enjoys all her meals. She mixes very well socially. Previously she was taking a whole lot of pills, now stopped. All due to manager!

Relaxed atmosphere, where residents seem mostly content, happy and friendly with each other. Staff are friendly, accessible and easy for the older (and other) folk to understand. They seem to know the residents well and accommodate their likes and dislikes. The home always smells fragrant and is clean.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.857)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.857) out of 10 for Vallance Residential Care 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 5 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 4.357 for Vallance Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (40 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 70 Ratings = 4.357
  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 4.5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Vallance Residential Care Home is based on 5 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 = 3.5
    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 19 registered maximum number of service users is 3.8, which has been reached with 5 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.
