Review from Victoria B (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has dementia, with respite in mind I visited Welby Croft. The home is secure as the main entrance is locked at all times so residents can't wander off and visitors must sign in. The rooms we saw were newly decorated, one had a view of the garden and the other a view across the countryside. I
appreciated the consideration and time that must have gone into developing their "Memory Lane" which was excellent. The amount of activities they do with residents is impressive, they were preparing an "al fresco" dining experience, and monthly they also organise a day out. The most important thing was seeing how the staff interacted with the residents and it was wonderful to see the attention, care and respect shown. When the time comes, I'm sure my mum would be happy here.

Review from David L (Brother of Resident) published on 9 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the first time we arrived at Welby the staff welcomed us with open arms and warm smiles, and that kindness has never wavered. Every team member treat the residents with kindness, respect, and compassion.


What sets Welby apart is the sense of family. They don't just provide care; they create

a home. My brother has found not only safety and comfort here, but also friendship, laughter, and joy. The activities are thoughtfully planned, the meals are delicious and nutritious, and the environment is always clean, cheerful, and full of life.


We are endlessly grateful to the wonderful team who go above and beyond every day. Knowing our brother is happy, well-cared for, and valued brings us peace that words can't fully express. Thank you for everything you do, you are amazing!

Review from Fiona S (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother suffers from dementia as well as many other issues. She has been in Welby Croft since December 24. It has a warm, family environment and all are wonderful who work there. The food is excellent and they have an ongoing activities programme. A hairdressers salon in house is a luxury with a quiet
lounge, lounge with a television and a lovely conservatory looking over the hills. I don't think people know how hard it is to run a home catering for so many people all with individual needs and personalities. I and my family visit my mum regularly and I know not all people can't do that but I see all the hard work that goes into making the home so special.

Review from Michelle H (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was a resident at Welby Croft for over 2 years sadly passing away December 2024. I cannot recommend Welby highly enough. The staff are amazing. So caring and provide a wonderful atmosphere for all residents and their families. They have been supportive during some difficult times and have always
shown care and dignity. The activities available are varied and non-condescending to patrons and seem to be well-liked. Food is homemade, looks delicious and of an excellent quality - extra was always available if needed. I sincerely cannot thank them enough for the care shown to my beautiful mum. The laughter and love at Welby Croft is present each and every day. The residents are respected and cared for as I would have only better as 24/7. Nothing was too much for them in relation to the care of my mum and my family during her final weeks and for which I will always be grateful.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.208)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.208) out of 10 for Welby Croft is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 4 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 5.000 for Welby Croft is calculated as follows: ( (48 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 5
  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 4.208 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Welby Croft is based on 4 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 = 3.375
    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 24 registered maximum number of service users is 4.8. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 4.8 = 0.833
  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.
