Visited my dad today for the first time since he's been transferred to St Anns. I was extremely impressed at how well my dad looked; I haven't seen him looking that well and clean for a while (long before the illness). I am so grateful to the team, and I was well looked after whilst visiting - taking
advantage of tea and biscuits. My dad seems settled, which is so reassuring. Thank you to all the team.

So far, we have been very pleased with all that has happened for her. We feel she is at peace with herself. All our troubles have been taken away from us, so we are very pleased with everything.

Very happy to know that my grandad is being looked after in a tidy, clean and organised facility with such caring staff. He always seems happy when we visit and says how much he loves his food there. Thank you for providing safe, clean and comfortable places for people suffering with diseases such as
dementia.

Mum seems really settled in St Anns now, the staff are all lovely, she has enjoyed a visit to the garden centre and has recently been taken to the dementia choir Wellingborough. She really enjoyed this and hopes to go again soon.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
St Anns are doing a great job dealing with my mother who can be quite difficult. I had been unable, even with 4 care calls a day, to get mother to get up/washed and dressed. On my visits, mother has at least been persuaded to get up, get dressed and has obviously had hair shampooed. Carers are always
very helpful to me and are both kind and patient to other residents during my visits.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Wife in St Anns for 2 weeks respite care.
I found the staff, in terms of health care assistants, very helpful and sympathetic. My contact with management was minimal - day of leaving only.
My main complaint is in connection with proper attention to my wife's psoriasis and seeming lack of attention
to the administration of laxatives (my wife only went to the toilet today 30/05/19).
Her room was seemingly not kept clean in terms of the floors.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum initially went into St Anns on respite, although she is now a resident, and has been treated with dignity, respect but most of all kindness, by all of the staff. She likes to be busy and the girls let her do "little jobs" around the lounge and make her feel she is really helping them. She enjoys
all the activities, especially singing. I sleep easier at night knowing my mum is safe and well cared for.

St Anns is a lovely environment but for myself and relative who is now living there, it is the staff team that count.
I am now seeing a well cared for and happier lady and this, in turn, lifts a weight from me. Visiting is a pleasure, the team have supported my relative to become a dignified contented
older lady.

Mum has now been at St Anns' for almost four years. As her dementia has progressed she has in turn, being happy, sad, abusive, violent and clumsy. All this has been managed well by the staff with good humour and professionalism. It may not be the biggest, smartest or most sophisticated home available
some look like The Ritz but it's the staff that make it what it is.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.812)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.812) out of 10 for St Anns Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.812 for St Anns Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (127 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 154 Ratings = 4.812
  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 St Anns Care Home is based on 13 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 39 registered maximum number of service users is 7.8, which has been reached with 13 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.
