On moving to this home my mother has settled in nicely. We were able to put personal things like pictures etc up to make it more homely. The staff are kind and well trained to deal with most behaviours. There is always someone to answer any queries or explain Mum's likes and dislikes. One-to-one conversations
and activities happen daily. Nice food, fresh and always a choice. Plenty of snacks and drinks are available.

Our Mother entered Seabourne House in Dec 2023. Although she and we as her family didn't want her to move from her own home, her age at nearly 97 years and frailty dictated, she needed a lot more care, both days and nights to keep her safe. After viewing other homes, we felt that Seabourne House offered
the friendly, personal care and dignity that she needed. The staff treat her like an extension of their own family and reassure us that she is in the best place.

Just want to say a massive thank you to all the staff at Seabourne House, who always made my mum feel special. I would like to name various people, but that would be unfair, as I would probably miss some out, but I think they will know who they are. Mum spent the last eleven months of her life at Seabourne
House and was very happy. The staff are happy, kind, thoughtful and treated my mum with dignity at all times. As soon as we first viewed the home it felt right, nothing ever seems too much trouble. If you are looking for a care home, I would recommend Seabourne House every time.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.936)

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.
