I cannot praise the staff enough for the care of my mother, she is happy and settled. The staff understand her needs very well and they take the time to tell me how she is getting on as I live quite a distance away, this gives me peace of mind when I can't visit.

Reply from Louise Arnold, Managing Director at Cornerways

Thank you so much for the review of Cornerways and glad the team can give you the peace of mind you need whilst caring for your mother.

The care is outstanding that my mother-in-law is receiving. She can have some very challenging behaviour and they are doing everything they can to try and help her.
The staff are attentive and patient and keep us informed of mum-in-laws care. There is a nice atmosphere in the home and the staff are
very friendly. They take the residents for a day out once a month, which is lovely for them, and have activities and events at the home.

Reply from Charlotte Chandler, Marketing Manager at Cornerways

Thank you for your kind feedback. We are pleased to hear that you received good communication of your mother-in-laws care with us.

We are kept informed on a regular basis & the staff always find time to reassure us even though they are so busy. Smiles

I would like to say thank you so much to everyone for making my mum's stay a really happy one. The staff went above and beyond to meet her care needs and were very attentive in the last stage of her life which was very quick. I know my mum really enjoyed being at Cornerways due to the friendly atmosphere

We visited my sister today for the first time at Cornerways. Much to my delight she was more motivated and knew who I was even though we had not seen her sine before COVID approximately 3 years ago, at which time she apparently didn't seem to recognise me. We were so pleased to find how much better
she was. Thank you for looking after her so well.

My husband has been a resident in Cornerways since January 2024, the care from all the staff he has received has been excellent, it hasn’t been an easy journey for him or myself
Whenever I ring to check on how he is doing whoever answers is always kind and never too busy to tell me how he has been.
The home always tries to learn as much as possible about the residents their likes and dislikes and interests, my husband tells me about the meals he has had and seems to enjoy them. It means a lot knowing he is being very well cared for every day.

My husband is very happy and occupied in Cornerways. He eats well and has regular checkups and varied activities. Families are encouraged to visit and take part in various occasions ie, Royal Coronation. The carers know my husband's needs and they make me feel very welcome. I would recommend Cornerways

My husband has lived at Cornerways Care Home since January. He was discharged from hospital into their care.
My husband has been very content and happy with the staff and management, they have been kind and caring. This, in turn, gives me some peace of mind. He speaks to me regularly on the phone
as I am unable to visit often due to my own health problems.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.885)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.885) out of 10 for Cornerways is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 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 4.885 for Cornerways is calculated as follows: ( (123 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 139 Ratings = 4.885

  • 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 Cornerways 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, 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.

Job Title: Interim Home Manager

I joined Cornerways as a Night Senior, bringing over 10 years of NHS experience from various hospital wards. When COVID turned the world upside down, I moved to day shifts and gradually worked my way through several roles to where I am today.


Cornerways genuinely feels like my second home. I feel incredibly lucky to lead such a brilliant team and care for our lovely residents—each one with their own stories, quirks, and ability to make me laugh every single day.


When not at work, I am married with three brilliant children and grandchildren whom I adore.
