My Mum has been a resident of Auden house for 7 weeks and she has settled in so well. I cannot fault the staff, the care they provide is amazing and they are so friendly and helpful. It has really put us at ease that my Mum is safe, settled, happy and receiving the best care possible.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Aunt has been a resident at Auden House for approximately 3 years . I don't like to say resident as she is part of the Auden House family . The care my aunt receives is outstanding. They really do look after our loved ones .
Unfortunately due to work commitments and a busy family life I'm unable
to go and see her as often as I would like but I know that she is being cared for exceptionally well. The home itself feels like a home . Very friendly and welcoming . The garden is amazing for my Aunt to wonder around . They even grow their own fruit and vegetables ! I can honestly say that Auden House have been amazing and supportive of my aunts needs . Every member of staff treat my auntie like they would one of their own family members . The food is another level - good cooked old fashioned proper meals just what they all like to eat . Overall I would recommend Auden House to anyone seeking a home for their loved ones . Having peace of mind is priceless

My sister in law has ben in residence at Auden House for six weeks. She seems to have settled in very well. The carers seem to be very nice and attentive to her needs. Because of her condition (Alzheimers) she is unable to respond to us with her point of view on her daily routine.

My mum has been in two care homes previously and at last third time lucky. She has been here now for nearly a year. The staff are amazing, they work so hard, nothing is too much trouble. I don't have a problem in approaching a member of staff or discussing my mum's care, they are so accommodating, even
taking Mum to some of her appointments. Thank you all so much, it's lovely to know my mum is so well cared for.

I feel so lucky that my mum is a resident of Auden House. The care my mum receives is second to none. It's Easter time, as usual, the home is decorated for the event. The staff always go above and beyond whatever the occasion. The residents always seem happy with what is going on and my mum really enjoys
chocolate!

Mum had a fall and surgery recently. The staff have been brilliant in rehabilitating her and getting her eating and drinking again. Massive improvement in Mum's mobility and health since she came back to Auden House. Can't say enough about these girls!

Review from Simon P (Son of Resident) published on 22 April 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We accessed a respite bed here for my mother when an emergency hospital admission for my father caused a breakdown in the home care arrangements. As you would expect this was initially traumatic and very disorientating for her. However, the superb staff team at Auden House provided the perfect level
of emotional reassurance and practical support. Their skills and experience showed immediately upon arrival when our presence was clearly adding to the upset and confusion. They confidently interacted, distracted and refocused my mother's attention, and got the first smile of that day. The whole team's communication with me was great throughout the stay and when I picked her up, she physically looked the best I’ve seen her for months. On admission, we had tears as we left but on discharge, we had smiles and laughter.

My Mum has been in Auden House for nearly 3 years. She could not be better cared for, all the staff are great and extremely caring. I couldn't have a better place for Mum if I tried. She is very happy here, wouldn't hesitate in praising the care and attention she is given.

My 95-year-old mother-in-law has been a resident here at Auden House for over 5 years now, and my wife and I would not want her anywhere else, and she is well and truly cared for here by all the staff. Their caring and diligence is exemplary in what has been a difficult period for everyone, with the
pandemic and all its ramifications, and whilst we can only hope that better times are not far away, we know that the staff at Auden House have cared for our and other's loved ones with kindness, compassion, and love. The home is spotlessly clean, the food is excellent and the whole ambience of the place brings us comfort that our particular loved one is in the best care home in the area, if not the whole of the Manchester area, and our thanks go to all the team at Auden House for the work they do.

Whenever I visit Auden House the staff are always friendly, welcoming, and polite. I think it's commendable the way in which the staff have dealt with the pandemic whilst adhering to the rules but at the same time not wavering in their care and compassion for all the residents. As a family, we are so
appreciative of the way that my Nanna is looked after and are extremely grateful that she is somewhere we know she is safe and cared for.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.361)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.361) out of 10 for Auden House 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 6 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 4.761 for Auden House is calculated as follows: ( (55 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 71 Ratings = 4.761
  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 4.6 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Auden House is based on 6 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 = 3.6
    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 24 registered maximum number of service users is 4.8, which has been reached with 6 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.
