Excellent care home. Staff are attentive, professional and caring. Food is very good, varied and plentiful. Pleasant surroundings with nicely decorated rooms. Senior staff and management are professional, organized and diligent. My mother has been well cared for during difficult times. It's reassuring
to know that she is in good hands.

I visited the above home yesterday, under restrictions, everything had been arranged in a safe professional way and all PPE was waiting on the table for my use. My mother-in-law was very pleased to see me as I had not seen her face to face since March. The only downside was that she couldn't hear me
very well through the glass but we still had an enjoyable half-hour.

My friend has been in the home for 3 years and is very happy and settled. There is never any smell at all my friend is always clean. Her room
is very clean, the staff bend over backwards to every need. The food is excellent. My friend looks very well indeed.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been at the Croft since February and is completely happy and at home there and wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. The staff are wonderful, nothing is too much trouble. Being a small care home, it’s very personal and all the residents know each other and the staff. The rooms are spacious
yet cosy and the communal areas are comfortable and homely. I would highly recommend the Croft.

Review from Steve (Power of Attorney of Resident) published on 23 October 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have seen many residential care homes and the Croft is one of the best. Choice of care home depends to some extent on needs and individual preferences and how individuals will fit in with other residents. Time was taken to consider this and our friend has developed well socially. Undoubtedly this
is also down to the excellent caring staff.

Review from Patricia K (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 October 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The Croft is well managed and a beautiful and very clean (in looks and smell) care home. It is home from home with lovely furniture and decor. The staff are professional, caring and very friendly. My mother gets the very best care and is treated with respect and dignity. The lines of communication are
always open on a daily basis and I am consulted on my mother's care regularly. The food looks wonderful and my Mom has put weight on which she needed to. In the summer the residents were out in well-kept gardens enjoying the sunshine. When activities were not restricted due to Covid-19 there were many opportunities for Mom to join in and it was lovely to see her dancing to the D-day celebrations there. On my visits, the staff welcome me and are friendly and I notice how well all residents are treated.

Review from Linda A (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 November 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at The Croft looked after my mother for the last couple of weeks of her life, they took her in as an emergency admission on a Sunday afternoon.
Nothing was too much for the staff, my mother received outstanding care and nursing.
They organised a special bed, called in the hospice nurses
immediately and did everything they possibly could to help Mum!
They were caring, professional, proactive as she deteriorated; calling in any and all specialist care as and when required.
When she arrived at The Croft, my Mum was distressed, disorientated and very anxious. The Croft staff went out of their way to make Mum comfortable, relaxed and calm.
The staff here are simply amazing, they do a fantastic job.
They even looked after her family, myself included making us feel welcome whenever we arrived to be with Mum.
I will be forever grateful to ALL the staff at The Croft.
Thank you.

The Croft stands out as a care facility. It is warm and friendly, well staffed with staff who all genuinely care about the residents at the home, They are always approachable and prepared to go the extra mile to help both the residents and the friends and family of these residents. When my mother just
went in she was frail and isolated she is now returning to her former self joining in with activities and joking with the staff.

The staff are always welcoming and polite. Whenever I see them with Dad they are kind towards him, caring and take their time with him. They never rush. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for them. The proof is that Dad seems happy, comfortable, warm and well looked after. Having visited him, you
always leave in the knowledge he is safe and you can walk away without worry. It's a very, very well run establishment.

The Croft is a very well run and friendly care home. The staff all do a tremendous job and look after my father extremely well. His needs are met at all times and he is well cared for. I can see why the CQC report awarded The Croft an outstanding rating. First class all round.

My experience of the home is related to my mother's residency. She has been looked after by all the staff and has commented on the high quality of food and how she gets on with all.
She has been encouraged to take part in activities and enjoyed them when she has made the effort. The senior staff have
all been very helpful in explaining how things are and answering any questions.

Very clean and friendly home. Staff seem proficient in caring for residents and maintain a friendly, homely atmosphere. Comfortable facilities, bedroom a little small but quite adequate. Good activities planned for residents but my mother can't do them all. Fees quite expensive but not out of line
with other homes.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.621)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.621) out of 10 for The Croft is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.621 for The Croft is calculated as follows: ( (235 Excellents x 5) + (88 Goods x 4) + (18 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 343 Ratings = 4.621
  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 The Croft is based on 29 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 24 registered maximum number of service users is 4.8, which has been reached with 29 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.
