Mum has resided here for nearly 2 years and as a family we can't fault the care and support she receives. The staff go above and beyond to maintain the care and safety of those in their care. Most importantly, Mum is happy. We have always been treated with kindness and made to feel welcome. This is
a lovely home. Thank you.

My dad was taken to Seal Pastures House for respite care. When we arrived, being upset as we really didn't want him in a care home but we could no longer keep him safe.
We were greeted by a lovely, caring staff, we instantly knew we were doing the right thing.
Dad has been there for four weeks now
and we have decided it's the best for Dad, he is so happy, they are all cared for with respect and in a lovely, caring way. The staff are tremendous, I feel like part of a large family, they make you so welcome when we visit.
Before Dad went into the home, he slept most of the time now, he is chatting and enjoying life saying how nice it is and likes being there. Dad wouldn't go to bed hence his legs were extremely swollen and breaking out, they got him to bed, his legs are amazing. This is a wonderful home with absolutely wonderful staff, we can not thank them enough for what they have done for our dad.

My grandma was recently moved here from the hospital. It all happened very quickly, and it's hard to stress how difficult these times can be. We were swiftly contacted by the staff at Seale Pastures (actually even before the hospital), I can honestly say that I feel so lucky that my grandma has been
brought here as the level of empathy, care and humanity is amazing. I have visited almost every day for the best part of two weeks now, and it is so comforting to see that each and every time that I have visited, every single member of staff is tending to, caring for and looking after every resident's needs to make them feel as comfortable as possible. (My grandma included) 100% genuine, caring staff that go above and beyond. By chance she was moved here from the hospital, but if I could hand-pick, I would have chosen here, especially all of the staff!

Dad arrived at the care home and we could feel the friendliness, kindness, and compassion of everyone. Dad settled in well and that is down to the lovely staff, very clean, and enjoys his food. We feel that he is being well cared for and cannot thank all the staff enough.

We have been very pleased with the care my mother has received at Seale Pastures House. It is never easy to decide to use a residential home for an elderly parent but my mother settled in quickly and the interaction with staff and other residents has been a positive benefit for her. The staff, without
exception, have been attentive and helpful and quick to respond to my mother's needs.

I have been visiting regularly for the last three weeks and have been present for virtually all meal times and the periods in between. I have never seen any reason to worry about staff behaviour to residents or visitors. My opinion of the home is that all staff, from the manager down to the cares and
cleaners, deserve medals.

My mum lived at Seale Pastures House for just over two years until her death. She was always happy there and the staff were very good and friendly, some of them going above and beyond their duties. On the day that my mum passed away the staff were amazing and so caring towards the family.

My dad was made really welcome when he first arrived on 23rd December 2022. I'd gone previously, on 21st December 2022, to look around and felt completely comfortable when I walked in the door. My dad never asked when he was going home. The staff really cared about him, I liked the way the staff got
everyone up and they sat together in the lounge, had breakfast and lunch at dining tables (not just left them in bedrooms) and all sat comfortably in the lounge for sandwiches at tea time.

My mum, who has dementia, has lived at Seale Pastures House for eight months. She never wanted to live in a care home, but necessity intervened and she was discharged there straight from hospital. She settled in immediately, due in no small part to the care and compassion shown by every member of staff
we have met. Sadly, Mum's condition means that she is not the easiest of residents to deal with, but I have never been made to feel that anything is too much trouble for anyone - including my endless questions! Until recently, I always thought that the care Mum received was excellent - now I know it's absolutely brilliant! After a couple of medical emergencies, Mum was admitted to hospital, and not only was everyone kind and supportive of Mum, both pre-admission and on her return, but they also supported me throughout a very traumatic period. I really cannot thank them enough for their kindness and understanding, which has meant so much to me and my family.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mother-in-law always said she never wanted to go into a care home. We don't always have any safer options, so when she was hospitalised following a fall she, I think, realised how vulnerable she has become at her great age and suggested that a care home might be a better option for her.
Unfortunately,
she varies in her perception of things and has bad days as well as good days. Sometimes I don't know which of the things she says are true and which are imagined, especially about food.
My son and I believe she is in the best place and is receiving very good care from the staff, both carers and management. She has only been there for a couple of months, but the home has taken a great weight off my shoulders and have enabled me to continue with my life, free from worrying about her.

Well what can I say, only that we wish we’d have found this home sooner, after trying previous homes my grandad wasn’t settling. We decided to try Seale Pastures and never looked back. As soon as you enter you become part of their family and immediately my grandad was happy and content. He was unfortunately
only there 6 months but we take pleasure in the fact he lived out his last days as happy as could be. He especially loved all the music sessions the home put on. This is just one of the things this home does, they go above and beyond not only for the patients but their families also. They are at the heart of dementia and understand exactly what this complex disease can create and how to deal with it. I would not hesitate to recommend this care home
Even after Grandad's passing the carers are still a part of our family as the way they cared for him they became as one to us and we will always support the care home going forwards in any way we can.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.716)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.716) out of 10 for Seale Pastures House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 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 4.716 for Seale Pastures House is calculated as follows: ( (300 Excellents x 5) + (107 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 412 Ratings = 4.716

  • 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 Seale Pastures House is based on 36 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 36 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.
