My experience of Seal Pastures is generally good, but I do feel at times they seem to be understaffed. Also, I would like to see a more hands-on approach with the residents as they spend many hours with no conversation at all.

Dad is settled at Seale Pastures, he is comfortable in his surroundings and enjoys the food. He has a good relationship with the carers. It seems to me that they care for him and they want the best for him. I appreciate that he is part of a home/family that includes residents and staff and the visitors.

A beautiful residential care home in a rural setting. Wonderful garden to sit in with a shop and hairdressers. The staff are genuine people, caring for the older generation, with each individuals best interests at heart. My mum was transformed in three weeks respite and came home happier and healthier.
Seale is a clean, attractive,'homely' home, great cooking and not in anyway austere or intimidating.

I contacted the manager for initially emergency respite after my father-in-law took ill. They came into our lives when we needed them the most. From initially walking in and the following care was excellent, unfortunately, he wasn't with them long and needed palliative care for his end of life care.
Everyone took time to support us a family as much as my father-in-law, and he was able to experience one of his happiest days in many years when the home had a tea dance afternoon. To everyone, thank you!

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My aunt is ok here,m sometimes she gets fed up. I would be in an old folks home! The care is great, sometimes she doesn't like to be told she can do things like getting herself out of bed when she feels week and needs assistance. The meals are ok, but sometimes they look the same colour and unappetizing.
Overall, she is well looked after and is very happy here.

My mother has been to Seale Pastures several times in the past for respite and enjoyed each visit.
She has recently decided to stay permanently as she is 91 and not able to cope at home.
The staff are always friendly and reliable and so I feel she is in safe hands.

We feel very happy as a family, leaving my father in Seale Pastures. The staff are all very kind and look after my father very well. The food has improved in the last two months to a high standard. The rooms are kept very clean and tidy, washing is all done and put away. He enjoys the entertainment
provided.

My mum died 2 years ago but was a resident from 2011-2014. She received such good care and the staff (most of whom are still there) did so much for her. I visit regularly still to keep in touch with them and chat to other residents that I got to know.
The staff are wonderful - look after them so well
as the resident's please.

The home is always clean and odour free. Residents are very well cared for and the home is bright and homely. Staff are always approachable and kind and caring. There are daily activities which are variable to all residents who want to participate.

My mother came to Seale Pastures House after a long hospital stay. She has settled very well enjoying time spent with other residents and activities at the care home. She was uncertain whether to stay due to the location from her previous home but has now decided she is happy to do so.

The facilities are first class, the care my mother has received could not have been better anywhere in the area.
The cost as my mother is self-funding is below average cost for the area.
The care staff are friendly and very conscientious towards the residents.
I would recommend this care home to
anyone.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.724)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.724) out of 10 for Seale Pastures House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.724 for Seale Pastures House is calculated as follows: ( (245 Excellents x 5) + (84 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 333 Ratings = 4.724
  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 Seale Pastures House is based on 29 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 29 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.
