Review from Michael S (Brother of Resident) published on 8 July 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
During a recent health issue involving my sister, the staff were quick to arrange a medical assessment with her GP and other medical services. This meant treatment was received quickly at the hospital, and my sister was able to return to The Orchard after a few days in hospital. I was very grateful to the staff at the Orchard, the care for my sister has always been very good there.

Review from M B (Sister of Resident) published on 8 July 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
I find the Care Home my relative lives in to be run well and I happy with the Care they give them, a recent stay in hospital they dealt with very well and called the ambulance as they were concerned and kept us informed of everything while she was in.
My relative as been cared for there for the past 18 years and is very happy.

We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
- Outstanding - The service is performing exceptionally well.
- Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
- Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
- Inadequate - The service is performing badly and we've taken action against the person or organisation that runs it.
- Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.
