Fantastic staff who provide amazing care and opportunities for all residents. All staff go above and beyond for their residents. We could not have found a better care home for our grandad to be looked after and supported with his dementia.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has been cared for at Cawood House for the last 6 months and I can only sincerely thank and celebrate the work the manager and her team deliver every single day at this home which is extraordinary. My mum had previously never required care and felt very ill very quickly requiring 24-hour care;
for any relative, it’s a traumatic, emotional rollercoaster yet as soon as I visited Cawood I knew it was the right setting. The team are compassionate, kind, and skilled and all go the extra mile to help every resident with their needs and feel at home. They prioritise what is important and you feel the love in this home which is equally filled with respect and kindness. I owe this team so much for what they have done for my mum and thanks to them she is now at home with me. I will be eternally grateful and they are all superstars. Thank you!

So pleased with how Cawood House Care Home runs. The staff are so welcoming and helpful. My relative always has a hug and a smile for them.
Her room and the home always look clean and presentable, and they look like they are all well-fed with good food.
Activities for all the residents are really
good. They try their very best to keep all their clients occupied.

My husband is so happy since he came into Cawood, and as a family, we couldn't be happier with all the genuine loving care from management to every member of staff, and never too much trouble, whatever he needs, as we ask and we are kept updated; also we can phone day or night and always reassure me
when I feel down. Better than a counsellor, and it helps me so much, and also I never knew that I would ever be so lucky to express a care home so brilliant.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has been a resident now for almost four years, and throughout that time we as a family have never experienced anything other than the highest levels of care and dedication. Across all the staff, the management, the carers and the domestics, there is a great enthusiasm to ensure he is safe,
clean, happy and engaged. The mood there is always cheerful and untiring, he can be troublesome and unstable yet they all take this in their stride and in good humour. I'm certain that the commitment shown by the team has lessened the deterioration of his dementia and has given him many more good days than he would otherwise have enjoyed. All in all we are deeply grateful for the precious and rare qualities found at Cawood House Care Home.

Everyone at Cawood House has shown complete compassion, care and love to my mum. I couldn't wish for a better place for my mum. There are plenty of activities available. The garden parties in the summer were fantastic. I know Mum has the very best of care and is in safe hands.

My mum has settled in so well at Cawood House, and that is down entirely to the wonderful staff who work there. We feel completely confident that she is being properly cared for and looked after. She loves being involved in the wide range of different activities that take place. A good example was the
recent elf day, where the staff and residents had a great time and raised money for a dementia charity. We are always kept up to date with what's happening at the home. The biggest compliment I can make is that it feels like a loving home as soon as you walk through the door, and I can't thank all the staff enough for their care and dedication to my mum's well-being, as well as all the other residents.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mum has only been in the home for a couple of months, I was very worried but I find all the staff to be very caring which is a huge relief. Also, the events coordinator is always trying to put different activities on for the residents which must be challenging as there is only one of her. I did help
with an art activity last week and it was great as I had quality time with my mum and it was something she had not done before. She enjoyed doing it, she couldn’t remember afterwards but we have photos and memories to look back on. Mum is even walking much better with her walker and is going to the dining room for her meals whereas before she was just sat in her chair at home. She now has care 24 hours and this is peace of mind for me as she can’t do anything for herself. Also, the fact you can take dogs in to see her is fantastic, as a family, we love our animals. I can only hope that she will eventually fully settle in there and accept it as her home in the future as the staff seem amazing.

Both my mother-in-law and father-in-law are Cawood House Care Home residents. They went in during Covid which made it hard but the home kept us informed at all times. We are now able to visit and find all the staff really friendly and they always have time to update us on their progress. The activities
are great and their quality of life seems to be better than it was for a long time before they joined Cawood. It is a huge relief to know that they are so well cared for. The family WhatsApp group which keeps us informed of events in the home is also fantastic. A big thanks to everyone at Cawood.

My mum has lived at Cawood House Care Home for over three years and she is very happy and we are happy with her care. During Covid she has been kept safe, we were very worried at this time but as soon as there was a problem Cawood went into lockdown.

From the moment we set eyes on Cawood House we knew Mum would be made so welcome and cared for. Nearly a year on and it has proved to be the best place for her needs (she’s not the easiest of folks to deal with). The staff are so supportive of us as a family and of each other, they are a fantastic team.
Nothing is too much trouble and we are always greeted with a smile (behind the masks of course).

We are so very pleased to have found such a lovely care home for Mum. The staff are a delight and are wonderful with the residents. The whole building and rooms are bright and airy, every occasion is celebrated with activities. The staff and manager deserve medals for being so caring in these difficult
times. Would highly recommend Cawood House Care Home to any family who needs loving care and support with their loved ones. Everyone is coming together joining in with fundraising for the much-needed garden project.

My father has been cared for by the outstanding team at Cawood House Care Home over the past two years. They continually ensure he receives a high standard of care, despite the changing challenges his dementia presents to the care team.
In addition to caring for our father, the team ensure consistent
and comprehensive communications with the family and continually identify methods including WhatsApp groups to share pictures of activities.
I am grateful for the peace of mind the Cawood House team provide, knowing how well my father is being looked after - thank you.

I have only been visiting Cawood House Care Home since November so have only seen the visiting room and reception. The staff are always very helpful and have been supportive of me as well as Mum.
The staff provide plenty of activities to keep the residents busy and they take time to get to know them.
Mum tells me the food is very good and that she has a lovely room. I look forward to seeing it when I can.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.880)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.880) out of 10 for Cawood House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.880 for Cawood House is calculated as follows: ( (229 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 259 Ratings = 4.88
  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 Cawood House is based on 22 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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4, which has been reached with 22 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.
