Staff are very helpful when my needs changed. They moved me to a better room to be able to use a hoist. Staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble.

Always a warm friendly welcome from the staff, it's like a home from home. With all the problems they had to cope with in the past two years, they have all been marvellous. Visits nicer now as we can go into their rooms. Makes a visit a bit more personal. Have nothing but praise for all of them.

My dad came to you with having a number of falls at home, not eating or drinking and declared very end of life. With the response of all the fantastic team at Netherhayes, he has now come home and back to living a fairly normal life. Thank you all.

My mum went into Netherhayes in December 2021 having been diagnosed, in hospital, with mixed dementia. Many friends warned me that I would see a decline in Mum when she was in a home, but that could not have been further from the reality. Mum is flourishing! She is cared for. The staff have brought
the best out in Mum, and she is very happy. There are plenty of activities going on, and the staff make time to understand and get to know their residents. I cannot remember the last time I saw Mum looking so well.

The day my mum was going to Netherhayes she was very upset, I tried to reassure her that she was going to a wonderful place and how right I was. Mum's last year at Netherhayes was filled with fun, laughter, and immense kindness, nothing was too much trouble from the staff. The staff made sure on a daily
basis that there were always activities to keep the residents happy.


I will always be grateful for the care and understanding they gave my mum in her last year.

I visit my friend in this home often. The manager and staff have always gone out of their way to make sure not only the residents are happy, but visitors such as myself are happy too and nothing is too much trouble. Such a beautiful and clean home, and in my visits, it's lovely to see everybody laughing
and getting involved! My friend seems very content at Netherhayes, which we are very pleased to see.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Staff are very obliging when you ring up they always put you on to the correct person. If there are any issues with the resident or any updates on their care, the staff let you know right away.
My father has said a few times that he has been left to last to eat at breakfast time, in particular, as
he needs the staff to assist him. But he hasn't eaten since 5 pm the night before and has still been waiting for breakfast at 10:30 the following morning. I am raising this issue personally with the manager.
It's not always easy to see where the weekly fee goes. He likes to join in the activities in the lounge but he has spent a lot of time in bed recently.
Reply from Kay Smith, General Manager at Netherhayes

Thank you for your review. It's vital that we take notice and react to all feedback in order to ensure that all residents relatives/advocates feel confident that the care we offer to all our residents is of an excellent standard and appropriate to their individual needs. We invite you to come in and talk to us directly, you will be made welcome and listened to and we should then be in a position to consider the points you have mentioned and find a way forward to ensure that we are caring for your father in the way that you wish us to.

The manager and staff at Netherhayes are marvellous; I cannot praise them highly enough. They’re kind, caring, patient, observant, interactive, entertaining, inventive and happy.
Mum was offered a place during lockdown, so I was unable to visit to confirm it was right for her, but I’m glad I went
with them as it is in the town where she had lived for 30+ years, and she was so happy there for the final six months of her life.
Not only did they care for my mum beautifully, but they also looked after me when I was with her during end of life care.
I definitely recommend Netherhayes.

I visit a friend weekly and always find Netherhayes a very happy and friendly home. The staff are very gentle, kind and very caring. Nothing is too much trouble. Today I was visiting from 2-4 pm, and in the first hour a lady came in to sing to the residents, which they thoroughly enjoyed and joined
in the singing, some got up and danced. After that, they had great fun pancake tossing and a lot of laughter.

Review from Ronald D (Husband of Resident) assisted by family/friend published on 16 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
On the 29th February 2016, my wife entered Netherhayes. She had suffered for 10 years with memory loss and dementia. In February this year, aged 95, she died and I have had time to reflect. I have decided that when the manager said she was happy to accept her for care at Netherhayes, this was indeed
our lucky day. I do not think we could have found a care home suited to our needs or where she would have been happier. From the onset, she was treated with the utmost TLC by each and every member of staff, coupled with respect and dignity. The staff were always a happy team who willingly helped one another whenever necessary. The home appears a wonderful balance of efficiency within a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere. As a daily visitor, I was always made most welcome. On these occasions, I could also see how others were similarly well cared for and entertained with music, singing and activities. There was a time when I was apprehensive about having to place my dear wife into care. Having found refuge at Netherhayes, I know her final year could not have been spent in a better place; a great comfort to me.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.553)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.553) out of 10 for Netherhayes 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.553 for Netherhayes is calculated as follows: ( (118 Excellents x 5) + (50 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 4.553
  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 Netherhayes is based on 14 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 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6, which has been reached with 14 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.
