It is a very caring home and the residents seem very happy. Staff are great, and the food also very good. Staff are inclusive and very welcoming, nothing is too much trouble.

Wisteria House is truly exceptional. A small home, it has a lovely family feel and the staff have a good understanding of dementia and provide a gold standard of care. They are very skilled whilst showing warmth, affection, and humour. My mum's face always lights up when her carers approach her and
that tells me everything. It gives us such confidence and peace of mind. Highly recommended!

Fantastic Care Home so caring to both residents and their families. My family member has thrived since being here. Previously he was A02 and is now able with a stick - this is due to the amazing staff who show such care, compassion and support to their residents within their care. It is such a warm
environment and feels like one big family. Thank you for everything you do.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Wisteria House has been a godsend. They are great with him, he is well-fed, always clean and is loved there. When I take him back after a day out I don't cry when I leave him as I know he is looked after. He has made great steps there. How anyone who can leave people in another particular care setting
should be ashamed of themselves. Thank god he is now in Wisteria House, we are so lucky and thankful. I see him and take him out every other day, he's more than a friend more like a father to me.

Review from Jill C (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 February 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Following my mum's hospital stay last summer, her dementia had reached the point where she could no longer look after herself and would be extremely vulnerable outside of a 'dementia friendly' care home environment. After much research and visits to potential care homes, I felt my mum would be most
at home at Wisteria House, Stoke, Plymouth. I have been very pleased with the care and attention mum has received since becoming a resident at Wisteria House. All of the staff made her welcome and have been very attentive and caring. It did take some time for mum to settle following her stay in hospital and her change of circumstances in terms of needing full-time care. The team at Wisteria House have provided excellent care for my mum, personal and professional, plenty of kindness and consideration and always with good humour and patience. I am confident and satisfied that my mum is well looked after and cared for.

I cannot fault this home at all. Whenever I visit my mum she is safe, happy and content. My mum has not been this happy for years. The staff are all very caring, understanding and trustworthy. When I first met the managers I knew straight away Wisteria House would be perfect for mum. The interaction
between the residents and staff are amazing. I have experience in residential/nursing homes and find this home perfect.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
All the staff are very helpful and from the time I am at Wisteria House (every week x2) I have never seen anyone treated at any time without care and compassion. Peoples well being and safety must obviously come first but like many other homes, the laundry is a problem. Things missing and not mums
own clothes. Help has been given to try and sort this. Hospital visits for mum have been dealt with very caringly. Everyone is very approachable.

My mother has been receiving daycare for the last 6 months at Wisteria House in Stoke, Plymouth. I cannot speak highly enough of the owner or her manager. Their staff are always cheerful, friendly and helpful and mother has always enjoyed going there. Having recently had an extended stay of two weeks,
she has become a long-term resident.

A first class, very friendly and caring environment. All staff, from management down provide a calming and relaxed atmosphere.
Any problems arising appear to be dealt with quietly, quickly and efficiently.
Top marks to all staff.

My mother with dementia and also an amputee, stayed for 1 month while we had a holiday. She went in the week before we went away so we were sure she settled in well.
We also had friends and neighbours calling in during our absence. It was a very comfortable, homely environment, the food was good and
plentiful and above all the care was excellent. The staff were all so kind, patient and respectful, we were very impressed. In fact, when mother came home her general health and mobility were much improved. Thank you Wisteria.

Review from Aegene R (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 6 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum and I were so worried about putting granddad/dad into a home.


Now I can say Wisteria House has changed our minds. We are so happy he is in their care. We visit twice a week and just love spending time with granddad/dad and the other residents. They are a joy to be around. So much so, we stay

for two hours!


The staff are so friendly, approachable, supportive, helpful and they are always happy!


We cannot fault Wisteria House in any way, shape or form.


A+ for these guys!

My uncle was a client at the above mentioned residential home and during his time there he was treated excellently. The staff were amazing and were professional and full of compassion and you could see the other clients melt to their helpfulness. It was/is a wonderful home with plenty of happiness,
food was excellent and teas and coffees whenever the clients wanted them as well as the visitors, a 100% residential home for hospitality, friendliness, atmosphere and surroundings.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.227)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.227) out of 10 for Wisteria House (Stoke) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Wisteria House (Stoke) is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5
  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 3.227 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Wisteria House (Stoke) is based on 1 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 = 3
    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 22 registered maximum number of service users is 4.4. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 4.4 = 0.227
  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.
