The staff are wonderful caring and compassionate. Lots of varied activities that everyone is encouraged to take part in and you can see what a difference it makes to the residents. It was so reassuring that my mum was looked after by the brilliant team at Seabourne. They were also so supportive to us
as a family which makes such a difference.

Myself and my sister would like to thank all the staff at Seabourne house for the outstanding care and dedication they showed to our mother in the 18 months she was there . From a friendly smile when we arrived to answering any questions we had straight away and being so supportive. Also the care they
gave to our father who previously was a resident. We got to know just about every member of staff and we will miss them all.

Review from F S (Wife of Resident) published on 21 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After a severe bout of pneumonia my husband developed severe health problems and needed 24 hour care. I had to find a care home very quickly and was so lucky to find Seabourne House. Sadly my husband passed away after a relatively short stay in Seabourne House but the care he received whilst there was
wonderful. The staff were caring, kind and patient. They also cared for me, as they understood how stressful I found my daily visits, seeing my beloved husband so ill, and were extremely kind to me, too.
I can't thank them enough and would not hesitate to recommend Seabourne Lodge to anybody looking for a care home for a loved one.

I cannot praise Seabourne House Care Home enough for the exceptional care they provide to my dad. From the moment we walked through their doors, we knew we had found the perfect place for him.
The facilities are top-notch, offering a clean, modern, and welcoming environment. My dad loves spending time
in the beautifully maintained gardens, and the spacious, well-furnished rooms provide him with the comfort and dignity he deserves. The true heart of Seabourne House, however, is its staff. Every member of the team is genuinely caring, patient, and dedicated. They have gone above and beyond to make my dad feel at home, always treating him with the utmost respect and kindness. It's clear that they see their work as more than just a job; they genuinely care about each resident's well-being. Seabourne House Care Home has truly been a blessing for our family. Knowing my dad is in such capable and caring hands gives us immense peace of mind. Thank you Seabourne House, for everything you do!

The home could not have done more to support us in what was obviously a difficult but necessary decision to make. They have been reassuring and attentive during the settling-in process and have done their best to meet all needs as they have occurred. The staff are well trained and seem to know individuals
really well and try to give support for their particular needs (not always easy but it is done with patience and care). The staff have also supported me as well as my wife which I am very grateful for.

I visited a family friend at Seabourne House and was really impressed with the home. I haven't been in many homes before, but was pleasantly surprised with the welcoming fun atmosphere. All the staff were very friendly and attentive. There was lots of laughter and fun activities, and I shared some delicious
tea and cake! The garden was lovely and my friend's room was made to feel really homely.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.936) out of 10 for Seabourne House Care Home 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.936 for Seabourne House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (280 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 299 Ratings = 4.936
  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 Seabourne House Care Home is based on 25 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, which has been reached with 25 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.
