Review from Martin L (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 13 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was very impressed with the care and consideration given both by the staff and management. The ambience and layout was ideal for my mother in law and it felt like a home from home. Both Tracey and Magda gave us great confidence in the way that the team looked after and cared for everyone in the house.
The food and fresh cakes were excellent with tea and cakes being offered every time we visited. The activities offered by the team were encouraging and helped to make everyone included. Contact from the staff ensured we were kept up to date on care and any medical concerns.

My mother was a resident at Wren House for a short time. The care she received from Tracey, Magda and the whole team at Wren House was fantastic - they treated my mother with kindness, gentleness and dignity. They were also incredibly kind and welcoming to me when I visited. It is a beautiful environment,
very peaceful and quiet.

Granny has been at Wren House for nearly 10 years. The care she has received over the years, including end-of-life care, has been amazing. The atmosphere is lovely and guests always receive a warm welcome. The staff, many of whom have been there for over 10 years, are caring and compassionate, outstanding
in every way.

June's story on 15.11.2016 - 10 years ago, mum and dad moved into Wren House. Sadly dad passed away after a short stay, and mum, loving Wren House, decided to make this her home. Wren House is a big family. The staff, many of whom have been there longer than mum, are caring and affectionate, becoming
our extended family. They are supporting and encouraging mum to remain independent for as long as she was able, offering physical and emotional support. Mum is now receiving outstanding end-of-life care. It is heartwarming to see the gentle, affectionate care mum is receiving as she slips away. It has not only been a wonderful gift to mum, the way her Wren House Family has cared for her, but a gift to her family, knowing she was so happy and well looked after, allowing us to get on with our lives. Wren House is a jewel in the crown.
Reply from Tracey Atkins, Home Manager at Wren HouseThank you for your very kind words. Mum become a big part of us. We all have wonderful lasting memories of mum. I will pass on your comments to the team.

June has been at Wren House for 10 years. Her quality of life has undoubtedly been enhanced and extended by the outstanding care she has received. She has been treated at all times with compassion and dignity by all the staff, many of whom have been there longer than June. As a family we have always
received a warm welcome and made to feel part of the Wren House family. The end of life care June has received at the moment is truly heartwarming, not just the care, but staff sitting holding her hand and talking to her.
Reply from Tracey Atkins, Home Manager at Wren HouseThank you so much for your kind words. Your mother in law was the grandma of Wren House we all loved her. I will pass on you words to the team.

I visited my stepmother on 17 August 2025. I was with her most of the day and joined her for lunch, as I have a dietary need. The lunch was delicious. I would like to thank the chef for accommodating my diet. All the staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble
A very enjoyable Sunday spent

When I broke my hip I was lucky enough to come to Wren House as I left hospital. Since then I have had so much kindness and efficiency so much attention. I am lucky that they had an empty room and I as able to move in.

My mother moved into Wren House in the middle of this year.
It has been a hugely positive experience. Wren House feels like a comfortable home, rather than a hospital and the staff are fantastic giving great care with a smile. Mum has settled in so well and still has the freedom to do what she wants
but has a wonderful support network providing a great quality of life.

My mother has been in Wren House since last November. The care and staff are absolutely fantastic, so kind, sensible and with a bit of humour, which is so important. It's a huge change moving into a care home but they manage to make it as smooth as possible. Thank you for looking after her.

While nothing can compare with our own home, bought, cared for and loved with one's partner over many years, the comfort, care and company at Wren House is a high-standard replacement for many of these attributes. The house and my own room are excellent. From my own point of view, I could only suggest
that a little more care and attention could be paid to the garden which has huge potential even if only reviewed thoroughly once per year so that interested residents could be occupied with pottering during the summer sunshine if they wished.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.895)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.895) out of 10 for Wren House 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.895 for Wren House is calculated as follows: ( (216 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 239 Ratings = 4.895
  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 Wren House is based on 20 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 14 registered maximum number of service users is 2.8, which has been reached with 20 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.

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2018

I am a mother of two and have two grandchildren, stepmother of two and four step-grandchildren. My family life is very busy, but I have great support from my husband. My interests are rugby, as my son plays the sport and course fishing to relax. I have been in the care sector for 15 years, ranging from the acute setting of a hospital after being at university to gain my diploma in adult nursing to a senior carer at Wren House. I have been promoted at Wren House to the home manager, which is a position that I enjoy as I am a very driven person and confident in all aspects of running the Home and my lovely residents.
