We found the home very welcoming. My Brother is very happy. We would not want him to be anywhere else. As soon as we walked through the doors we knew this is where he should stay and we were right.

I visited Mum on a Thursday afternoon. Firstly, I checked her room, which was very clean and tidy. I then found her joining in with a Dignity Tree activity which was very food. She was engaging in fully and seemed very happy. The staff were very good and treated Mum extremely kindly. Mum is the happiest
she has been for several years and Nayland House is a perfect p[lace for her.

Both parents were initially at Nayland House until Dad passed away. Staff are always friendly and polite, helpful and caring. Nayland is very homely and Mum loves the daily choices of menu. Mum's room is always clean and tidy. I feel very confident Mum is looked after very well.

Mum has been cared for at Nayland House for the past eight years. In this time, she has received professional care delivered with kindness and efficiency until her recent passing when we were kept informed of her condition at all times and we were treated with sympathy and kindness.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother is a resident at Nayland House. Her care is nothing less than exemplary. Mum has difficulties communicating and the staff take time to interact with her, show her incredible kindness and warmth and respond quickly to her changing needs. We are made to feel very welcome when we visit, whatever
the time, and feel included in her care.

I feel safe and secure here. The staff are very supportive and kind. Food is very enjoyable. I would gladly recommend this care home.
I liked the slices of water melon and ice cream in the hot weather a thoughtful gesture.
I also enjoy the activities. I would like to have a lot of walking.

I have a 96-year-old mother who has been in 'care' since 2015. The previous home closed down at 48 hours notice on 23rd December 2016.


Nayland House came to our rescue and 'assessed' her and accepted her on 24th December 2016. She has settled in so quickly, is well looked after, being happy to

stay. Nothing is too much trouble and I am kept well informed.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.912)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.912) out of 10 for Nayland House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.912 for Nayland House is calculated as follows: ( (221 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 238 Ratings = 4.912
  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 Nayland House is based on 20 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 54 registered maximum number of service users is 10.8, which has been reached with 20 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.
