Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Extremely happy with Four Acres, beautiful building and furnishings accommodating to visitors and very friendly. The care of my father is amazing. I have noticed a real improvement in his wellbeing and he is speaking and smiling again. Cannot express enough how grateful we are for his care. He is always
clean and smart. The building is always clean and tidy.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All staff have made my mother and all her family very welcome. Excellent facilities. We held a mini birthday party for family and friends in the coffee bar for mums 88th birthday, which she loved.
Very attentive staff.
My only negative point is that the chiropody service, which we were told was included,
is now a chargeable service.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father is a very difficult man and with his disabilities, can make helping him hard. He still believes he can live independently.
He doesn't like being told what he can and cannot do. The staff at Four Acres are angels, they don't just care for the resident, but also for the family member. In a
short time, I can honestly say your staff are warm, welcoming, kind and very supportive without them I wouldn't have been able to cope.

Third home my mother has been in - Four Acres has been the one to meet the family's satisfaction. I cannot commend the staff more. They have been wonderful. We will not forget the care given in my mother's final years. If I meet anyone in the same circumstances that we were in, we will not hesitate
to recommend Four Acres.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.852)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.852) out of 10 for Four Acres is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 9 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 4.470 for Four Acres is calculated as follows: ( (81 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 117 Ratings = 4.47
  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 4.382 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Four Acres is based on 9 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 = 3.7
    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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.2 = 0.682
  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.

Hayley

Hayley Wyton

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2026

I am the Home Manager at Four Acres, and I have dedicated over 30 years to working in health and social care. I began my career as a qualified nurse, where I developed not only strong clinical skills but also a genuine passion for caring for others and making a positive difference in people’s lives.


Throughout my career, I have progressed into senior leadership roles, including Regional Manager for care homes, supporting multiple services to achieve high standards of care and compliance. While I have valued these experiences, what has always meant the most to me is being part of a home where I can build meaningful relationships with residents, families, and staff.


At Four Acres, I am committed to creating a warm, welcoming, and safe environment where residents feel truly at home. I strongly believe in open communication, teamwork, and ensuring that every individual is treated with dignity, respect, and compassion.


My door is always open, and I warmly welcome conversations with residents and families to ensure Four Acres continues to be a place everyone is proud to call home.

Mychelle

Mychelle Barya

Job Title: Home Finance Administrator

I have worked within the care sector since 2008, I was a care assistant for 3 years and then moved into the office.


I love my current role as I do get the best of both worlds; I get to do all the important things such as wages and contracts etc but then have so much fun with our residents from singing to dancing to just taking part in regular quizzes. I also enjoy the chats I have with our relatives. 


An interesting fact about me is that I once ran 100-meter hurdles against Colin Jackson.

Our kitchen has maintained a 5-star hygiene rating for the entire 14 years, and we’ve earned numerous awards along the way for our excellence in culinary standards.


In addition to my culinary skills, I have the rare ability to write with both hands, which adds a fun twist to my daily routine. Outside the kitchen, I enjoy walking my dog, Dory, a playful Boston Terrier who keeps me active and entertained.
