Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum-in-law, who has moderate dementia, has been at Four Ways for around a year. She settled in really well from the outset and has thrived under their care. Visitors are welcome at any time and there are lovely lounge and garden areas to sit, relax and have a cuppa with your loved ones. There is
a homely atmosphere that makes visiting a pleasure and the staff are always very welcoming and supportive. There are lots of activities that residents can take part in, and I often see them having a sing-song with a singer/musician who visits regularly. The best thing about Four Ways is seeing my mum-in-law happy and contented in a place that she considers her home. The Management Team and every member of staff should feel proud of their outstanding work.

Our mother has been here now for 12 months and is completely settled and happy. She always comments on the friendly staff and excellent food and feels very comfortable in her room, on the family visits which are very regular we have never had a major concern with our mother's care and feel very reassured
that our mother is being well cared for.

We were in the UK on holiday from America and had a lovely visit on Oct 1st with our cousins, both of whom are in care at Fourways.
The staff really went out of their way to make it a wonderful experience for us all. It's obvious that it's a good place to live and that they are taking excellent care
of their residents.
Thank you so much!

My mother has been in Four Ways for several years now, and her care has always been exemplary despite sometimes displaying challenging behaviour.
The staff know her well and know how to deal with her at these times.
They take care to look after her well, cater to her needs and are always aware of
the residents - the other week, I visited Mum, and we left the lounge and went to her room when a member of staff wasn’t in the lounge. Shortly after, a carer came to check that Mum was ok.
The staff are always friendly and caring, and I always feel that Mum is safe and well cared for.
The staff and company were also amazing during Covid and lockdowns.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the moment that my dad and myself went to visit Four Ways to see if it was suitable for my Mum, who has Dementia, to stay for 2 weeks respite, we were made to feel very welcome.
The staff that greeted us all spoke and other staff that were just passing in the corridor or communal areas all took
the time to say hello.
We decided that Four Ways was the right place for Mum to be for 2 weeks and how right we were. She settled in very well, all the staff could not do enough to make her feel at home. Her room had new furniture and was freshly decorated, with a lovely little view from the window.
As a family, someone visited every day whilst she was in there and had an update on what she had been doing. Trips out to Stratford, Music, Quiz, plenty of laughing but most of all she was happy.
I can not thank the staff enough for making Mum feel welcome, the manager her team are exceptional in what they do, keep up the good work ladies it's you that make Four Ways.

My mum moved into Four Ways Care Home in February this year. Up until October 2022, she had lived on her own and was very independent. After several falls, repeated UTIs and failing eyesight, she needed full-time care as she wasn’t safe to be alone and her home care wasn’t enough. My gran lived happily
at another in the 1990s and WCS Care Group was my first thought. I contacted a member of staff who, in record time, got Mum admitted and it was such a relief to know she was safe. All the staff are so welcoming and friendly, not only to Mum but to me as well. We can all have a laugh and a joke and my mum has returned to her old self in what feels like a homely and family environment.

Mother arrived at Four Ways in May and we presumed there would be a lengthy settling in period, this proved not to be the case, she was made to feel welcome and settled in very quickly.
The care received has been excellent and has left us all feeling Mother is in a good place.
Four Ways were recommended
to me and I would have no hesitation in doing the same.

My mother came into the home from the hospital. As a dementia sufferer, the concern was that a new environment would be very disconcerting. The opposite has been true. She has settled really well. This is due to the excellent staff and the genuine effort to make my mother feel “at home” at Four Ways.
The Leadership and the whole organisation deserve recognition for the wonderful job that they have done in settling my mother into a care home. Well done to all.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We have used Four Ways care home Leamington Spa for three weeks in October 2022 for our grandmother. The care provided by the staff and carers was very good, it was reassuring that our grandmother was looked after well. This branch of Four Ways has a very friendly staff. The security and health and
safety measures were appropriate during the time of our grandmother's stay. Our grandmother is not mobile and we felt that some sort of interactive screen or music would have been nice to have in the room permanently. I would like to thank all the carers for the help and support they provided us during this time.

My uncle has been at Four Ways for 2 years. I was concerned about him going into care as he has always lived an independent life on his own.
I didn't need to worry as the staff were very welcoming, supportive and friendly not just to my uncle but to me as well. My uncle's health has improved due to
the attention and care he receives. He has a sense of humour and enjoys a laugh and joke with the staff.
His behaviour has been challenging on a couple of occasions but the staff have shown patience and understanding in supporting him.
I know he is safe, happy and being well looked after, and his needs are being met.
I'm regularly kept up to date on what is going on regards to my uncle.
I am very grateful to the staff for the care he receives and how much they have included and supported me through these challenging times.

All in all the staff are really caring and always look into queries, and meet requests made. They're always open to ideas and really helpful in advising on what their client's needs may be, i.e clothing, activities, etc. Am happy with the hygiene protection for visitors, so this protects clients and
staff at the home.

We chose Fourways for Mum after she decided she needed extra help after being in hospital. She has been there for four weeks and we have found the staff to be wonderful, they are very caring and cannot do enough for her. They are very good at communicating with us and are always available to answer

I found I could no longer care for my husband at home when he was discharged from hospital and he went to Four Ways for two weeks respite. He then decided he would like to be a permanent resident and as I had previous experience of the home due to a relative being a resident for a few years, it was
my first choice. Many of the same staff are still there which I think is a good indication. The manager and carers are always welcoming and reassuring if we have any queries. It was my husband’s birthday this week and they did a great job of making his day special, he received a lot of fuss and attention from the staff, which he loved, also a cake and candles. The home has a friendly, homely atmosphere and is warm and cosy.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother decided for herself that she did not like living "at home" any more so I helped her to choose Four Ways. Initially, it was for respite but after a couple of days, she had a mini-stroke. When she left the hospital after a week she was happy to go back to the home so ended up staying there permanently.
She commented to friends that visited (pre-Covid) that she liked living there, which was a great compliment to the home from a lady that had always been very independent.
Over the months she very slowly deteriorated both mentally and physically but the staff were always there to encourage her in every possible way and deal calmly with any mishaps.
After another stay in hospital and some investigations, medical staff there decided that return to the care home was the kindest option for Mother. Four Ways did not hesitate to accept her return. They could have easily declined but continued to show the greatest care that they had over the previous months right up to the very last moment.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.897)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.897) out of 10 for Four Ways 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 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 4.897 for Four Ways is calculated as follows: ( (256 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 282 Ratings = 4.897
  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 Four Ways 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 47 registered maximum number of service users is 9.4, 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.
