I have always found the staff at Edward House are very friendly and welcoming. They are very attentive to any requests from mum and are often checking on her. I feel that even though they have a lot to do they are always keeping mum in their sight. As soon as she goes to move, someone is there to help
her. The care and compassion I see is very reassuring for me to know that mum is well looked after. I can't wait for more.

My Father is well looked after and cared for. He is encouraged to join in entertainment provided by staff. At first, he found it hard to settle into a care home but has now accepted it was his home with the staff's help.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My husband has only been at Edward House for 6 weeks so it's difficult to really give an opinion but he seems quite settled and happy. It's a shame I now find it too difficult to look after him myself but I am waiting to go into hospital for an operation myself.
So I would just like to say thank you
for the good job you all are doing looking after my dear husband for me. All the staff and management are all wonderful - with a very difficult job at times.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Appears that my mother-in-law is well looked after even though I realise she can be awkward and you are spoken at times. She has settled in well and is very happy. A while ago she was found collapsed early one morning and had to go to the local hospital the care and support received fro the staff was
excellent and by early afternoon she was having her lunch after being assessed ad prescribed medication.
I am always made welcome when I call in most weeks and if there are any problems which aren't many are sorted quickly.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
It was a hard decision to move mum into a care home, however, mum is safe and well cared for by the extremely kind and caring staff to the residents.
I have peace of mind knowing that mum is happy and contented. The residents eat together in small table groups which help them socialise and make friends
with other residents. I am always made to feel welcome whenever I visit mum at various times of the day.

When I came into Edward House to visit my Mother-in-law, I was very impressed how friendly everybody was and how warm and cosy it was with a lovely smell of home cooking. We went and saw her bedroom and that was light and airy. She looked happy, which to me was very important.

My mother has settled well in the home - will have been there 2 years this August. She is well looked after, always looks clean with hair well cut, and neatly dressed. She has made friends with other residents and enjoys the routine of the home. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. They treat
the residents with dignity and are very kind and caring.

As usual a happy protective environment. Arrived just before lunch that looked very appetising. Mother in Law happy as entertainer had just left. She was looking very alert with her hair recently permed. Usual questions as "how long it took us to get there" but still recognising us.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.619)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.619) out of 10 for Edward House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 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 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 4.619 for Edward House is calculated as follows: ( (83 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 126 Ratings = 4.619
  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 Edward House 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.

Job Title: Registered Manager Joined: 2022

My journey into a care home started with my grandmother years ago. She was a nurse, and I will always remember her taking so much pride in her job. I joined the care sector in 2005, working in a nursing home as a carer. I did my NVQ 2 and 3 at my local hospital and spent 6 years working in the hospital in the stroke ward. I was soon assigned champion for the older ones in the ward and was involved as much as possible, but after 6 years, I wanted to try something new. After leaving the hospital I went on to work in the community as a team leader and it was at that point, I had the opportunity to complete my NVQ 5 and after a few years of working in the community where I went to work for an agency, I was assigned to work in a care home. I have been in Edward House for just over two years. I love working at Edward House.


It is a very homely atmosphere in here. I'm so proud to be able to do things for the residents, talking with them and spending time with them and seeing them do things that they haven't done in a while is a real joy. When I see them happy, having a good time and being looked after properly, I'm happy.
