Words cannot properly express the positive difference that Hendra House is making to my elderly mother's life and well-being on day one, she arrived a broken, fragile and scared person with challenging physical and medical problems. Now with the benefit of high quality care support and good medical
attention quickly received. I can clearly see her former self is returning. Hendra House is an exemplary care home on so many levels. All the staff are a pleasure to deal with. The care managers have a wealth of invaluable experience. I am kept well informed and the place is clean and welcoming. The owner, who is very approachable and a regular presence has implemented an excellent management system. 10/10

Hendra House has been my home since August 2015. The care, attention and kindness bestowed upon me and all of the residents by the staff is wonderful. The owners have our best interests at heart at all times and I feel safe in this lovely home. I consider myself very fortunate to be part of the Hendra

I have been at Hendra House for 10 months. The care and support I receive is exceptional. The staff are always willing and able to help me. Their care ranges from washing and dressing me, taking me to the toilet and making sure I am fed and watered. I have a comfortable room that is equipped to meet
my personal needs. What is particularly lovely is the way in which I am respected by staff and the individual attention they give me.

My experience when visiting is one of seeing the residents happy and warm. The staff are friendly and welcoming, they are always ready with a drink of tea or coffee!! They will always explain what is going on with our uncle and what needs doing. Can't find anything to complain about at all. Well done.

Hendra House is a home from home, the description my Mum used. The staff are professional, patient, kind, caring and always welcoming to family and visitors alike. The home, rooms, facilities are spotlessly clean. The food is excellent. The menu varied with choices available. The residents feel loved
and treasured.

In early January a doctor visited my mother and recommended she be taken to the hospital. At 94 years old my mum did not want to go, I agreed with her.
So Hendra House with the doctors support made my mums last two weeks pain-free, with dignity, respect and an enormous amount of love.
I could not
have wished for a more peaceful end for her.
As an only child, they also gave me support and comfort at a very emotional time.

I recently moved my mother here, and within one week the change in her is remarkable.
She said in her own words that she feels so safe finally from where she was before.
The staff have been amazing at settling her in and now she smiles again every day.

My mother has been in Hendra House Residential Home for some years now. The home was well known for its excellent care and management and we were delighted our mother was able to come here. We have not been disappointed in any way with any aspect of her care. The facilities are kept beautifully clean.
The staff are very trained and highly efficient as well as thoughtful and kind. No excuse for celebration or fun is overlooked - I am sure all the residents feel cherished and loved.

in the laundry do a wonderful job.

Having had a not so good experience at mothers previous care home, Hendra House was a revelation. The staff were very warm, welcoming and professional. The rooms and facilities were immaculate there was even a bouquet of flowers in mum's room on arrival. Every day there would be something to occupy
the residents whether it was games, live entertainment or just having their hair done.
I was sad when the time came for mum to move on and I would certainly recommend this home to anybody. I cannot praise it enough.

My mother is in her mid 90's and has mobility problems. Her care is exemplary. The staff are friendly, concerned about her well-being and happiness and go way beyond the average standard of care and attention. Residents are well fed and enjoy taking their meals together. On the housekeeping side, everywhere
is very clean, it does not have the smell commonly found in care homes, clothing is returned promptly, nicely washed and ironed. The owner goes to great lengths to make sure residents are well cared for and valued. No one could slip through the cracks.

At the initial telephone contact, there was a good feeling which was reinforced on the first exploratory visit. The staff are always welcoming and show concern for residents and visitors alike. Living 50 miles away, there needs to be confidence in a care home and you certainly get this from Hendra.
Everyone knows mum and when we phone they can give us a detailed account of her wellbeing. Nothing is too much trouble for owners, managers and each and every member of staff. Entertainment activities and trips out are organised regularly and the atmosphere throughout is home from home (plus). Mum, a dementia sufferer has been unwell and the care afforded has been outstanding for which we are all extremely grateful.

It was a very hard decision to make putting our dad into a home but we needn't have worried. We couldn't be happier with dads care. It is such a relief to us both knowing dad is being very well cared for.

I cannot praise enough the care and attention that my sister received in Hendra House. Everyone at the home treated her with the utmost care and love. During her last few weeks, her end of life care was wonderful. All the staff from the manager, nurses, carers were wonderful. Also, the support that
we, her family received immediately after her death was exemplary. A wonderful home - in the true sense of the word.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.967)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.967) out of 10 for Hendra House Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.967 for Hendra House Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (174 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.967

  • b) 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 Hendra House Residential Home is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6, which has been reached with 15 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
