Mum has recently been placed at Melton House, and we are so pleased with the care and support she is receiving. All staff are warm and friendly. Her room is spotless, and the kitchen food is amazing. Mum looks the best she has in months. Such a relief for all the family.

My mother has been at Melton House since the end of April + we have seen a big improvement in mums mood + wellbeing since she moved in. This is due to the kindness + patience of the staff that work there. They have gone out of their way to make her feel welcome. The kitchen staff have gone out of their
way to cook her things she likes. As she is a fussy eater. The daily activities are great and make so much difference to all the residents.

Mum has been a resident at Melton Road Care Home for 8 months now. We have found the staff to be very helpful and caring with our Mother. Mum is in her nineties and suffers with a number of ailments including dementia. Healthcare is good as is the nutritional support. We feel confident with the
care at Melton Road. The staff are friendly and trustworthy. The food is of a high home cooked standard. Mum has said how happy she is at Melton Road.

I was really worried about my aunt coming into residential care. Aunty had respite care 2 years ago and vowed she would never go into a care home. Her health has deteriorated rapidly over last 6 months and she chose to go into a care environment. Melton House was my no1 place and how lucky and blessed
to have got her a place. It is not a residential home it's family home. From maintenance to catering domestic the lovely carers whom work for the clients 24/7 are amazing. It really is 100% family with dutiful delightly well trained staff and management.

After a visit to my uncle today I found the home so warming and friendly. The staff are amazing, so friendly and welcoming. My uncle looked so clean and cared for which was lovely to see, he seemed happy and was very talkative. The staff were decorating the Christmas trees and there was a singer singing
Christmas songs, they had just finished lunch and it was a lovely relaxed atmosphere.

After being isolated in another home which was totally unsuitable for him it has been a revelation to see the change in his demeanour. He is extremely happy with all the attention he receives from the staff. They involve him in all of the activities. The food is excellent and plenty of it. The home
allow him to go out for walks on his own which was not allowed at the other one. All in all, he couldn't have been placed in such a happy environment. Well done to all the staff.

My mum spent her last few months at this home and we could not fault the care so it was an obvious choice when my dad needed to be cared for to have him cared for here. My dad has had the best care and has settled in better than we could have hoped. He joins in with activities and is very social now.
I cannot recommend this home enough. There is a warmth and homely feel always.

Melton House is a wonderful home. The staff are extremely friendly and look after my mum really well. The ratio of staff to residents is very good. Mum is treated like a member of their family.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband has been a resident of Melton House for over two months. We have been very happy with the care provided. The staff are supportive, friendly and accommodating; nothing is too much trouble. Personal choices in activities and dietary preferences are respected, whilst rigorous in providing medication
and nutrition. He is always clean, well-groomed, and dressed in his own clothing. The general atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, visitors are welcome at any time. We are able to go out for walks and to visit local cafes. The decor is a little tired but homely and spotlessly clean. There is a close liaison between the care home staff and the local GP surgery, with collaborative care evident. I feel that my husband is treated as an individual, and he has settled well into his new home.

The experience so far has been excellent. Mum moved into the home for emergency respite in December 2022 and has taken quite some time to settle. The staff (management and caring) have been excellent, very accommodating and patient.
Levels of care balanced with the entertainment and activities are
excellent, and communications with us as a family are friendly, open, and transparent. We feel welcome to visit Mum anytime and stay as long as we wish.

Myself and my family are very satisfied with the quality of care given to my mother. The staff are always friendly and cheerful towards the residents and the visitors that visit their loved ones. Everybody is treated with dignity and respect. Mum enjoyed a day out in August with the staff; they hired
a minibus which belonged to another one of their homes and took some of the residents to the seaside for a few hours, they enjoyed fish and child as a treat and ice cream and a walk along the promenade and take photos.

This care home is a home in so many ways, they are Mum's and our extended family. Caring for all of Mum's needs and ours, grandchildren made so welcome playing games with residents. They recently had a summer tea party, bringing together residents, staff and families, a truly wonderful afternoon enjoyed
by all, music, singing and dancing topped off by delicious food. Nothing is ever too much trouble for any of the staff at Melton House Care Home, everyone should be very proud of the home they provide for our families.

On arrival, we felt very welcomed and were shown to the lounge where our friend was sitting, looking comfortable and relaxed.
The lounge was very clean and the chairs were nicely arranged, with a lovely garden outlook. We were pleased to see our friend and some family members.
We enjoyed lunch with
our friend. The catering staff were cheerful and very helpful. It was so nice not to feel that we were an extra burden.
We had a good lunch. Thank you.
Overall, our impression was of a very homely place: staff were competent and caring and friendly.
We would certainly recommend this care provider to family and friends.
We could not fill in all the boxes as we do not have the relevant information. For example, we did not see the rooms.

The care my mum received during her recent respite was amazing. I was very concerned about leaving her for the first time ever as she and I have always been together. However, my worries were in vain. When I first started looking for respite care and visited Melton House, I knew straight away it was
the right home. Very welcoming and friendly with an open door policy. The manager answered all my questions, and Mum and I were invited in for lunch prior to her staying. The manager and her team are fantastic, and I cannot recommend the home highly enough. Excellent care and staffing levels. Mum was happy and loved her time at Melton House. I will certainly be looking to use their services again. Thank you.

Not as expected - this is a care home mainly for people with dementia or serious mobility problems. No individual change to be independent eg: no kettle or toaster in room.
Too much organisation and not enough quiet time.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.731)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.731) out of 10 for Melton House Care Home 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 4.731 for Melton House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (88 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 119 Ratings = 4.731
  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 Melton House Care Home 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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, 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.
