My dad is treated with respect at all times. The care team are amazing, and it shines through how much they care. I am happy in the knowledge my precious dad is well looked after and safe. I have always been made welcome whenever I visit.

My mother has been a resident at Seale Pastures House for over three years. The home has improved beyond recognition in every way with new management and staff during the last year.
All staff are thoughtful and kind and even find time to take into account residents' family problems outside the care
home when families may be struggling to maintain visits; it really is a home-from-home for residents.
Any concerns I have about my mother’s care and health issues are discussed, and the staff can always find time for us so any concerns can be addressed satisfactorily. If an accident/illness occurs, we are contacted and kept updated on any issues - this is a comfort to family members.
I would like to thank all staff for their care and hard work.

The care my mother receives is excellent. The staff are always very pleasant, and my mother is very happy in their care.
My mother had a haematoma in January, and the care home basically saved her life by their prompt action and administering antibiotics.
Very pleased with the care she receives.

We found the staff very helpful and understanding. My dad found the care good but was not settled, as besides staff most of the other residents did not converse, this making the days very long.

We are very happy with the care he receives. His room and ensuite are always clean. He is always clean and tidy, although sometimes he refuses to have a shave. The staff are very patient with him when he becomes agitated. The food is excellent, and if he has a fall or is ill, he is well cared for, and
we are informed immediately.

My mother was in the home from April 2022 till she passed away in December 2022. You could not wish for any more love and care that all the staff gave to her. Nothing was too much trouble if you asked them to do anything for her. She really settled at the home, and the home gave a warm and caring feel.

Mum had to come for respite for two weeks. What can I say, the staff go above and beyond, and my mum was looked after. The staff work very hard and are on the go at all times, but their time and care are excellent. Thank you to all staff who have taken care of my mum these past two weeks.

The care my husband received at Seale Pastures was outstanding. All staff were so nice to him and made sure all his needs were met; they all went above and beyond to make his respite as comfortable as possible. He has commented that the staff were lovely and couldn't say enough about how homely Seale
Pastures felt.

My father had to come into the home for respite whilst my mum had an operation. He was very nervous as he had never been in a care home before and has Huntington's and Lewy Body Dementia. All the staff have been amazing at settling him in and making him welcome and comfortable. The care he has received
has been second to none, and I cannot thank the staff enough. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff, and I can not recommend the home enough.

My mother initially went into Seale Pastures House for an assessment after spending 5 weeks in hospital. My mum had a fall and also has vascular dementia. All of her life she had said she would 'never' go to a Care Home, so I was very nervous about how she would react to spending time there. I needn't
have worried. From the very beginning, the staff made her very welcome and treated her with the utmost dignity. She was deemed to need 24 hour care and is now living at Seale Pastures House and I have to say is thriving. She is happy, relaxed and has already made several friends. Everything about Seale Pastures House is 5 star, from the amazing staff to the lovely food and cleanliness. It always feels fresh and clean and all the staff really pay attention to each resident's needs and care. They have all now been trained to administer my mum's insulin too. Mum is happy and I'm happy.

Our mum has been a resident here for almost 2-weeks. From the moment she arrived, she was made to feel welcome and was immediately involved in the denim for dementia cake decorating activity. She was a little reluctant to be left, but my sister called the home later, and Mum had settled in well and
was really happy. After a recent visit yesterday, she'd had her nails painted and was very happy and chatty. Thank you to you all for taking care of our precious mum.

My mum has been here around 2-months now. I cannot fault anything. The staff are
excellent with the standard of care. They are very friendly and polite. My mum has settled very well. The atmosphere there is home from home. They keep me well informed as to medical issues with Mum and also her general
wellbeing. You are always made welcome and feel you are involved with everything. I just can't thank them enough.

I'm absolutely shocked at the difference in my nan since being a resident here for only one week. Eating and drinking well, socialising with others, which she hasn't done in such a long time! The managers and staff are absolutely phenomenal and are working wonders with her.

This is amazing to hear, and we are so happy to hear how well your nan is doing. Thank you for your fantastic review. I will pass your lovely feedback on to the team at Seale Pastures.

My mum has been a resident at Seale Pastures for 3-years and has been very happy there, although she was reluctant at first. She now calls it home, and I class all the wonderful staff as my extended family.
The staff have always been very caring, respectful and welcoming. Over the recent few weeks,
I have seen Seale Pastures improve up to another level in many ways. One of these is that the residents are engaged in many activities, including games and music, gardening and pampering sessions - (my mum loves having her nails painted). All of this, and more, in a place with a happy, welcoming atmosphere where staff and residents have smiling faces. If staff and residents are happy, then so am I.
Thank you; you are all wonderful! Onwards and upwards.

This home is just recruiting its eighth manager and fourth administrator in five years! There also seems to be more agency staff than employees. I've had reason to make several complaints.

We can't thank the staff at Seale Pastures enough for looking after my mother, who was a reluctant resident at first. With respect, care, patience and a happy atmosphere, she soon came to call it home. Her final days were made so much easier by the understanding staff, especially with family members
coming and going on a regular basis. The family thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

My mother enjoyed three years of loving care and attention during her stay at Seale Pastures, during the final days of her life the team was exemplary in looking after and easing her through. I cannot speak highly enough of the attention to detail and thought that was ever-present including the parties
for her 101st, 102nd and 103rd Birthdays, she was always warm, comfortable and made to feel at home - thank you.

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.
