Very impressed with the continued forward thinking of involving residents and family together in activities. August was the first Art Exhibition for residents and family and friends. So good to see everyone involved, especially residents and children. They are always trying new activities and it is
so lovely to see residents learn new skills as well as being encouraged to remember and retain those they have already.

Charnwood is an outstanding care home. From the moment I was shown around to the time my mum died, all of the staff were amazing. The level of care, dignity and respect shown to my mum was incredible. Her children and grandchildren were made to feel part of the Charnwood family always welcome. Mum had
fun, laughed and was comforted in times of distress. A brilliant team of people, I cannot thank you enough.

Following a short hospital stay, my father had the good fortune to be sent to Charnwood House for a six-week assessment.
During his stay here the staff made him very welcome and he quickly settled in.
He often tells us how much he likes it at Charnwood House and hopes to stay here.
All the staff
are very caring and the facilities spotlessly clean.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident for 3 years, she is well cared for, enjoys the food and seems content in her own little world. All the staff are very caring, although her profound deafness makes communication a challenge. The knowledge that Charnwood House really care for our mother is a huge relief to
my sister and myself, and I would not hesitate to recommend it to others in the same situation.

Review from Clive R (Son of Resident) published on 12 December 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother entered Charnwood House MHA on 1st December 2016. The introduction process was gentle and caring and friendly and I found this encouraging in establishing trust and reassurance about my mother's care. The caring attitudes of the staff have been consistent from all shifts of workers. My mother
has gained a little weight with the regular good food and the medical care when needed has been professional and beneficial. There is no problem if her family wants to take her out for a while and we can visit at any time. My wife and I have benefited from knowing my mother has 24/7 care and that Charnwood will deal with any problems. Professional services like doctor, nurse, hairdresser etc. are built into the management of the home and activities are available and residents are encouraged to participate. The Christian ethos is important to my mother and ourselves and this increases our trust and confidence in Charnwood. The local Catholic Deacon is readily accepted into Charnwood to give her Holy Communion and prayer.

It is the peace of mind knowing that my mother in law has someone there 24 hours of the day. She has her own space but company if needed. The staff I have met are lovely, caring and fun - so you are left feeling she is taken care of.

Review from David B (Son of Resident) published on 14 April 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother became a resident at Charnwood House early August 2012. She had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2008. My father had given her loving care until that task became too much for him.


Mum settled quickly into life at Charnwood, a very welcoming environment. Dad visited her at least 6 days

a week, his health permitting. He was welcomed into the "Charnwood family", regularly being included in afternoon refreshments and he and mum had their Christmas dinner together for each of the years that mum was there.


Mum participated in the regular activities as her health permitted.


As her illness took its toll and mum became ever more frail, the staff showed her a love and care that was as close as possible to that which would have been provided by her own family.


When visiting mum, all the members of our family received the same warm welcome.


After mum passed away in early 2017, the staff continued to support our family in their grief.


I have no other experience of care homes, but I find it hard to imagine a better one than Charnwood.

My mother, a resident of Charnwood House for more than 5 years, was given exceptional care. The whole staff from house manager to handymen were the most kind, considerate and caring people. The care also extended to us as a family particularly to my father who was a frequent visitor. I cannot speak
too highly about Charnwood House and can find little fault with the love and care given. Thank you.

My husband has been in Charnwood House for 2 and a half years and in all that time he has had the most wonderful kindness, dignity and care I could ever ask for. His care is second to none. The care staff are always vigilant to his welfare, never ever with less than gentleness and giving him the dignity
and care I do admire. I am always welcomed in the home and I have always considered Charnwood House as a second home!

My mother-in-law received outstanding care from the staff of Charnwood House who showed such care and concern for her. The building itself is well-maintained and has recently been re-furbished. Each resident's room is ensuite and personal possessions are welcomed.

Mum has been a resident at Charnwood House since December 2016. She is settled and happy. Her 90th birthday was in February and everyone could not have done more to make it a very special day. All the staff are supportive, helpful and friendly to residents and visitors. We are so pleased we chose Charnwood
House for our mum. It is a "happy" home.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.784)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.784) out of 10 for Charnwood House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.784 for Charnwood House is calculated as follows: ( (225 Excellents x 5) + (53 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 282 Ratings = 4.784
  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 Charnwood House is based on 24 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 65 registered maximum number of service users is 13, which has been reached with 24 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.
