Always friendly and helpful carers - look after my mum so well - I am very happy with the care she receives. The team is always on hand for me to ask any questions.
They worked very hard to keep Covid out of the home.

My grandad is a resident, he has settled well and this is down to the amazing staff. They are caring, bubbly, very welcoming, and patient. My grandad is sociable, however, sometimes can be a bit cheeky, however, the staff are great and have a good laugh with him. He’s formed great friendships with staff
and residents. Thank you to all the staff, you’re all amazing.

Review from Janet C (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 June 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad is very well looked after here at Cawood. He loves all the lovely ladies that look after him. He doesn't want to eat very much these days, but they know exactly what to tempt him with to get him eating. The home is always very clean, and the carers are always quick to spot someone that might
need to use the bathroom or might just need help with something in general. The food is very nice and varied and there are themed nights at certain times throughout the year. The garden area is really nice and safe to just wander around or just to sit and enjoy it. They will always keep you informed of any changes that you might need to be made aware of or if something needs reviewing. They have done a brilliant job in keeping my dad, and all the other residents, safe during the COVID outbreak. The management and staff are all very friendly and happy to answer any questions you might have and comfort you if needed. I'm so grateful to these lovely caring ladies. I would 100% recommend Cawood House.

First of all, I must say I am so impressed with Cawood that I always tell people how happy I am with the wonderful care my friend receives. But today oh my word! far exceeded my expectations. The Manager and Senior Assistant set up the visitor's lounge on the upper floor for myself and my friend to
have lunch together, complete with easy chairs in front of a tv, cushions, and lighting to create a calm and relaxed atmosphere. I was almost moved to tears. This home is above and beyond.

Excellent and appropriate kindly care - witnessed not only in the care of my mother, but the general life of the home. Cheerful, patience and understanding of residents. My Mother's death was peaceful and all appropriate care given in a timely and compassionate fashion.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
During my mother in law's stay, she has always been happy and content. Her weight has gone up and down with the dementia and keyworkers have communicated well with me on her needs re clothing and personal care. The home is always clean and smells nice. Management have changed but the care from Borough
Care is consistent. Cawood is bright, airy and decorated to a lovely standard. I turn up unannounced, ring up any time of day or throughout the night and receive a pleasant response. If I myself had to live in a home I would be happy for it to be Cawood House. Well done to all staff.

My toast certainly fell 'Butter up' when I was fortunate to have my wife cared for at Cawood House. All the staff are wonderfully caring and treat all residents with extreme dignity and sensitivity. I can't speak too highly of Cawood House and feel assured my wife is in good hands.
Yes, I am indeed
fortunate.

My wife was blessed to Cawood House. She has been in Cawood for 19 months. The care has been marvellous. My wife had TB, Meningitis at 17 years old in 1953, she was in hospital for three years. She is a fighter and now it is so sad that she suffers from dementia. Life is so strange is there a reason.

I went to Cawood House for a placement for my mum. I would recommend Cawood House to anyone who needed it.
All the staff are brilliant very caring and I know that my mum is very well looked after.
I couldn't be happier if and when any problems they are on the phone to me.

Staff are all friendly and care for the residents. Food is excellent. I'm not sure that eating and relaxing is good in the same room. I would prefer a relaxing lounge and a proper dining room separate as it can look like a dumping ground. The TV could do with being fixed to the wall (chimney breast).
Could do with ceiling fans being put back in.

Clean, well organised, homely. I feel reassured that my dad is not lonely, as I know staff members visit his room regularly and also involve him in the activities taking place.
Quick action has taken place when my dad has required a nurse or doctor to visit.
Communication with patient and family has
been very good.
Staff are friendly and cheerful always professional.

My mother moved into the care home in November full time. Cawood House is a clean, friendly, happy home, with activities each day. Attention to detail seems to be very good. Staff are excellent and easy to approach. Staff are always on the go. Mum seems to be relaxed and happy, which puts our minds
at ease.


I would recommend this care home.

Excellent service and care is administered to my mother-in-law.
The staff can't do enough for you if you have any problems, they are all friendly and caring.
If one of the residents is upset they always take them out and calm them down, especially when visitors are around.
Some of the entertainment
we have seen whilst visiting is to a high standard.
The staff deserve a pay rise.

The service to my Mum is first rate. I have always been kept in touch with how my Mum has been in Cawood House. I've always found the staff have been friendly and warm to my Mum and other residents.
Whilst I have been visiting my Mum, when there is a problem with other residents they are quick to
deal with any problems and resolve any issues very quickly.
The staff definitely deserve a pay rise.

My mum has been a resident for 20 months now and is a very happy person. I was worried when I was told mum would need to go into a home, but from the first time we went to Cawood House our minds were put at rest.
Nothing was too much trouble. Mum has settled in within a week! The staff are wonderful
with her. They always have time for her, do not rush her and will sit and chat with her. She is always clean and wearing her own clothes. I cannot recommend Cawood House and all the staff highly enough.

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.
