Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 103-year-old mother spent the last 5 months of her life at Lilliput House and I could not have wished for better care for her. The last two years have been extremely difficult owing to undiagnosed dementia as well as other health issues. It was such a relief to her family that she was able to end
her very long life in peace and comfort. All the staff were extremely caring, very helpful and welcoming.

My wife and I turned up and found everyone in the dining room with two girls singing Christmas songs and Carols. We were welcomed, chairs were provided for us, and we stayed about half an hour - while the resident's food and Christmas crackers were given out. We arranged with our friend to bring him
to our house for Christmas Day. We were very happy, and we thank you for letting us in, letting us stay, and letting us make Christmas arrangements with our friend. We were impressed by the quality of your care and kindness to us, who turned up "out of the blue" during a very busy time for you all when we could've hampered you in your lunch.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad has been in Lilliput House since March 2022, he has been looked after extremely well. He is quite smiley especially when he is sharing banter with the staff. Dad joins in with some of the activities but is able to go to his room read his newspaper or watch television if he would like to.
Dad
always looks well-shaven and clean. The staff are very friendly and quickly get to know you. They are also helpful if you have a query and will also phone you if they need to. Dad also enjoys the occasional trip outside in his wheelchair which the care home organises eg a fish and chip dinner or morning coffee.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I had a very negative view of care homes due to a bad experience with my Mum but Lilliput House Care Home has been so good it’s made me feel completely different now.
From the first tour we have been amazed by the dedication of all of the team members to making the resident's lives the best that they
can be.
Every time we visit we are greeted with a smile and nothing is too much trouble.
My aunt was living on her own with carers visiting four times a day, but she was thin and disengaged and deteriorating rapidly. She has been at Lilliput for 8 months now and she looks fit and well both physically and mentally.
She loves the food that she gets and doesn’t want me to take her out for lunch because she will miss what is on offer and the home.
Every day there are activities taking place and the Coronation celebration to which we were all invited was extraordinary.
We can’t speak too highly of the home.

Lilliput House prioritises the physical, emotional and social needs of its residents and offers a safe, clean, happy and comfortable environment. The staff and management are amazing, kind, helpful and supportive. Every time I visit I am greeted with a warm welcome - whatever time of day. I feel very
fortunate to have found Lilliput House. If I am unable to visit for a few days, I don't worry about Mum as I know she's being looked after and made to feel special. I love Lilliput House and so does Mum! I would recommend t to anyone.

Lilliput Care Home is so nice, it’s care is extremely good. My mother was in for respite and they did an amazing job of looking after and healing her ailments.
A big shout out to the manager and deputy manager and all the other fantastic staff that took great care of Mum.
The home is light and beautifully
decorated, her room was great too.
She loved the food which is high praise from my mum!
We can’t praise you enough.
Thank you all so much.

My mother has been with Lilliput House for over a year now. The staff have been excellent.


Even though no one really wants to be in a care home, my mother is fully aware that she is better, safer and happier at the home than living alone, unable to cope.


For her family, we know that she is being

cared for, 24 hours a day.

Best place!
I visited Lilliput yesterday to say hello to my mother.
We sat in the garden and had a little chat.
She was telling me all about the care staff who look after her and who were now her friends.
This was so pleasing and I'm full of gratitude to every one of them who care for my mother.
Thank
you to all the care staff

After not visiting my aunt for nearly 16 months, it was really nice to see her again. She told me that she has really been enjoying the activities, and loves it when singers come in, which has been happening a lot. Lilliput House has been amazing at keeping us updated with pictures and news throughout
this difficult period. Thank you once again for all that you do.

All resident seem to be catered for in every aspect. There seems to be something going on in activities, which is sadly lacking from many homes. Lilliput House certainly is an excellent place for loved ones.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.944)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.944) out of 10 for Lilliput House Care Home 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 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 5 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 4.981 for Lilliput House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (52 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 53 Ratings = 4.981
  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 3.963 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Lilliput House Care Home is based on 5 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 = 3.5
    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 54 registered maximum number of service users is 10.8. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.8 = 0.463
  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.
