In March 2019, we had to make the hardest decision of our lives, to move our dad into a care home. We visited Summerley and were very impressed with what they had to offer. He, unfortunately, passed away in July but the care he received from the staff at Summerley meant that his final months were very
comfortable and full of care. We cannot speak highly enough of all the staff. It made it so much easier for us to leave him after a visit, knowing he was so well looked after. The staff always had a smile on their faces and were unfailingly kind and caring of our dad.
In the final weeks, they stepped up even more. They were so supportive and empathetic to the needs of both our dad and the family, every time we came to visit. I would not hesitate to recommend Summerley to anyone faced with this decision.

My mother-in-law is so happy at Summerley. It was a massive decision to make putting her into a care home but everyone at Summerley made the transition so easy.
All members of staff are really caring. They look after the residents with respect and dignity. They make everyone feel they are at home,
instead of being in a care home. It is one big happy family.

It was the hardest decision to make putting my mum into the care of someone else. We had struggled for two years and the time had come. We need not have worried and I cannot speak highly enough of the home, staff and management. Mum loves living here the food is great the activities fun and the care
outstanding. A truly incredible and inspirational home.

Summerley is an exceptional care home. The informal atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff incredibly caring and cheerful. Plenty of hugs, lots of laughter and very competent staff with some of the best carers I have ever come across. There is nobody hiding in the office here. The whole
team are really involved with the residents' care and getting on with anything that needs doing but the 'phone is always answered and you're never left on the doorstep waiting to get in. Somehow, there is always time for a cup of tea (and often cake) for visitors too. I'm told that the standard of meals is excellent. The cake is certainly jolly good!


Summerley also has the advantage of being a short walk from the seafront, which makes for a very pleasant and easy wheelchair ride through quiet residential streets and along the prom.


All in all a very refreshing change from most care homes I have seen.

This is a care home in the truest sense of the word - from the very start we felt that both my dad and we were being cared for. Nothing was too much trouble and they eased my Dad's last days, giving us the space to sit with Mum quietly, but always on hand if we needed anything and constantly providing
tea and cake!

The care is very good and the staff very good with residents and are always kind and helpful when we visit. The food is varied and well served. We visit at the weekend but there does not seem to be any activities then. A few magazines could be made available for the more active residents.

My mother-in-law is not the easiest person to get on with, especially now she has dementia. She is prone to change her mind regularly, shout and swear at staff and has been known to throw things about. The staff deal with her in a very kind and humane way - respecting her as a person at all times.

Summerley has recently become my sister's permanent home after a previous spell of respite care. Her care has been consistently good and the staff here are welcoming and warm. Her room is comfortable and bright. The staff have been consistently responsive to the changing needs and she is treated sensitively
and with dignity. I have found it easy to build relationships with the staff who help with advice and information about her developing condition. It has given me peace of mind to know my sister is in such a pleasant and caring home and surroundings.

Mum has been in Summerley for several years now, and has advanced Alzheimers. She has always been treated with respect, kindness and the utmost care by all of the staff. Mum now relies on her carers to do everything for her. It is incredibly difficult to watch someone you love slowly deteriorate but
it is made easier knowing she is safe, content and so well cared for. Thank you Summerley team.

My first impression of the home was that it was pleasantly smelling, bright with attractive surroundings. The staff members were welcoming and pleased to show me around the home although I had not made a prior appointment. The residents all looked clean, tidy and seemed content. During his year living
in the home, my husband has been well looked after by the kind and competent staff. The staff also go out of their way to support the resident's previous carers and help maintain their relationship with the residents.

My wife has been a resident at Summerley Care Home since March 2014. I have nothing but praise for the home and have never regretted the choice we made although it involves a forty mile round trip to visit her. The home is very well managed and the staff are all kind and friendly and treat my wife with
dignity and affection. She is now in the advanced stages of Alzheimer's and everything has to be done for her. Although it is distressing to visit her, I leave knowing that in the final stages of her life she is being looked after with the utmost care.

Summerley is a well managed and supportive care home. Residents have excellent care and all staff make every effort to meet the individual needs of each resident with cheerfulness and good humour. Visitors receive a warm welcome and are always offered a drink of tea or coffee on arrival. The manager
maintains good levels of communication with residents families any concerns are quickly addressed.

Summerley care home has been a godsend to our family. Dad has lived there now for eighteen months and the standard of care, attention to his needs, has never deteriorated. Christmas morning the staff had gone to so much trouble. Dad is too poorly to be in the lounge, but the staff had bought him a
Christmas jumper, put a Christmas blanket on his bed, and had gone to so much trouble to help him be aware of the day it was. This attention to detail made a very hard day for us that much better and made a special memory for us. We were so lucky to find a home from home for dad when we needed it most. Summerley care staff are an amazing bunch of people who support the whole family

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.858)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.858) out of 10 for Summerley is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.858 for Summerley is calculated as follows: ( (248 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 282 Ratings = 4.858

  • 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 Summerley is based on 24 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 21 registered maximum number of service users is 4.2, which has been reached with 24 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.
