Caring staff who always have time for you and your loved ones. Communication is always open and taking all precautions within the COVID restrictions and regulations. We would like there to be a little more flexibility around options for visits but understand what they are trying to achieve. Facilities
may need updating in the near future, but everything is clean and well presented.

Melton House has been very good in every way. all the staff have been very good and kind, always helpful. they have kept me updated with all the latest info on visiting the care home during the pandemic. My dad seems to be well cared for and contented. I have been able to visit him with a window visit,
which seems to work ok. When I phone to speak to him, the staff always try to get the phone to him in his room. everybody seems very friendly, the home always seems clean, and the care home manager is very nice, easy to talk to and very kind.

My dad stayed for two weeks respite care at Melton House. He was made to feel welcome, safe, cared for and special. Dad's diet can be limited because of Dysphagia but he was given excellent home-cooked food during his stay. This care home feels just like someone's home and everyone is very welcoming.
Such
a good experience for Dad.

Melton House provides a safe home for our relative. The day to day care is good and staff are willing to seek outside medical help if they have concerns. Food is excellent and a range of activities is provided. The home is small enough for all staff to know each resident, which is excellent.

Mum has been in Melton House now for 3 years. Her care has been excellent over the last month she has been agitated and fearful, the care she has received has been wonderful. We could not want for better. Thankfully she is getting back to her old self. The staff have been loving and caring as always
over this difficult time for mum.

I/we as a family are very impressed with the care home and the care that my mum receives. She always seems happy, well presented, well fed, etc.
One of the other things I really like about this home is all the carers seem so happy and willing to help all the time.

Melton House is a lovely care home, cosy with friendly staff who gave our mum good care.
She was made to feel welcome from day 1 and although she had 2 falls whilst there, these were dealt with professionally and put her at ease. My only comment would be we were unaware so many residents had dementia
and Mum felt lonely as she didn't have anybody she could have a good conversation with.

My mum moved into Melton House due to failing health in 2015. Since then the staff have been wonderful, kind and caring to my mum. She viewed Melton House as her home. When she became ill with dementia her personality changed and she could be challenging to look after. During the final days and hours
of her life staff were so kind and caring not only to mum but me and my family which was appreciated.

Staff are very welcoming and friendly, nothing is too much trouble for them. Although communication between each other could do with improvement e.g. passing on relevant minor information to each other. Food and drinks are excellent, all homemade and wholesome.

This is the third time mum has been in Melton for respite care. She loves being there and all the staff are so kind and helpful. They all remembered mum's name and asked how she was. She isn't very mobile so one of the staff pushed her down for her meals in a wheelchair. Everyone was so kind to her
and she would happily return. Meals were very good and varied and mum needed to have hers cut up which they did, nothing was too much - staff lovely.

My mum has been in this care home for 2 and a half years and I am very happy with the care she receives. I visit nearly every day and always find mum clean and comfortable. The staff are excellent and can't do enough for her. They are happy and smiley and create a very friendly environment. The food
is varied and appetising. The manager is excellent and always has an open door to discuss anything necessary.

My mother stayed at the above home for only eight days she had cancer and died on Sunday 31st January. My husband and I were touched with the overall care and compassion shown by the manager and all the staff in such a difficult time for us. We will never forget how we and my mother was looked after,
nothing was too much trouble. Our son who visited her daily was also very pleased with the care.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.769)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.769) out of 10 for Melton House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.769 for Melton House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (111 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.769

  • 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 Melton House Care Home is based on 12 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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, which has been reached with 12 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.
