My dad has lived here for over two years and in that time the personal care provided has always been excellent and the carers very kind. There has been a steady but sure improvement in all other areas since the new manager took over last year. My main gripe for a long time was the lack of an activities
co-ordinator providing activities for residents' mental health. Now, at last, there is an excellent new caring Activities Co-ordinator providing lots of activities suitable for the differing needs of the residents. I am very happy now that dad is being looked after in every way and I thank the manager from the bottom of my heart for being so determined to do her utmost and expect the utmost always putting the residents' needs before all else. I also thank the wonderful carers for whom nothing is too much bother and the other support staff who actively support the manager in striving to do whatever is best for the residents.

A very caring atmosphere with attention to the welfare of my husband.
The general surrounding is pleasant and the carers treatment of the residents is admirable. I am very pleased that my husband is at Cheney House. They care for him and provide him with the respect that he would have got at home.

My mother has been in Cheney House since March 2017. She had been in respite care at another home and was not happy. Moving here has been the best decision we have made for my mother. She feels settled and happy and has a lovely room with a bay window overlooking the garden.
The manager has been a
great point of contact and all the staff I have met are really friendly and always offered a cup of tea or even a meal if I happen to be there at meal times.

All positive after first two weeks. My dad has settled in well with very good care provided so far. All of the staff have a great way of working with the residents offering all the necessary support. Excellent management from the Manager who has made this initial settling period go smoothly.

In the last 2 months, the home has improved a great deal. New manager and now got caring staff.
The place is being looked after, believe there is a new handyman on hand and this shows.
Food has improved also.

This home is on its way down again always short of staff. The staff are the residents main carers and are taken away to do kitchen duties. Surely if your short of staff you get someone from and agency and not take away these peoples carers. The activities person is taken away to cover the staff shortages
(kitchen and carers) this means no activities.

Supervision needed with my mother - incontinence - not hygienic and constant smell of urine. This has been raised with the manager. Clothes are marked with name and keep going missing at an alarming rate and far too costly. Very unhappy with this.

The general ambience of the home is excellent, and the staff are very caring and obliging, I was there for three weeks respite and have no complaints at all. I would not mind going again, especially to give my wife some respite as she does everything at our house.

Reply from Tracy D'arvigny, Area Manager at Cheney House

Thank-you for your comments and we aim to action all concerns made.
The activities coordinator works 5 days a week and she has a selection of activity displayed around the home, there is a monthly planner and booked entertainment. On your next visit, please feel free to view the boards in the main entrance and she can be made available for tea and chat if you wish. The manager has an open door policy and again, feel free to call in.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.787)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.787) out of 10 for Cheney House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.787 for Cheney House is calculated as follows: ( (118 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 141 Ratings = 4.787

  • 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 Cheney House is based on 12 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 34 registered maximum number of service users is 6.8, which has been reached with 12 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.
