Review from Christi M (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 September 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It must be wonderful as for years Mum has said she doesn't want to go into a home. 'I'm not ready yet' and 'don't want to go into a home' and has been very fearful of having to go into one. However, after being hospitalised with Covid for nearly 3 weeks, she was discharged to Greatwood House and although
she is only there for 4 weeks respite care, now she's begun to ask about the possibility of staying there.
So! Hats off to you Greatwood House staff. Although because of Mum's isolation and a further outbreak of covid in the home (not connected!) we haven't been able to go in the home to see it or see Mum sadly but staff have been so helpful facilitating phone calls/emails etc and had we lived nearer we could have had a 15 min 'window visit'. But as we live 2-3 hours away depending on traffic, I'm afraid we haven't been able to take up that option due to health issues of my own. But I have such peace of mind knowing Mum is being looked after so well. Thank you Greatwood House.

Friendly staff but updates aren't communicated very well, we arrived 30 minutes prior as advised when we booked the appointment but weren't made aware tests can be done at home to avoid the wait.
Note: the management rating below does not reflect Greatwood House staff but HC-One management.

Greatwood House is a very caring care home. My Aunt has been a resident here for 12 months and I cannot fault her care especially with current circumstances. My husband's father was in this care home 12 years ago and he was also well cared for. The staff are very helpful and always keep us in touch
if we are needed.

Review from Cathy N (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 9 March 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
To place a loved one into a care home is a monumental and very difficult decision. We'd struggled so much with my mother-in-law. We were filled with guilt and relief when she entered Greatwoof House. It was the best decision we made, and in my opinion, literally saved her life. They've all been absolute
angels, and we, as a family, have not had a single problem of any kind. It's been particularly difficult of late because, after Covid, she was placed on palliative care. It is down to the love and dedication of the staff that she's now off palliative care and well again.

I cannot begin to thank everyone who worked at Greatwood House for the love and care with which they showed my dad and us as relatives. The care, with which he was looked after, was excellent! I can honestly say with hand on heart, that they nursed him back to life, after how poorly he was when he first
went in. I have never had an issue with any part of his care or with any member of staff. Every member of the staff there is lovely and welcoming. My dad loved living there, and I could sleep easy at night knowing he was being well looked after. All I can say is a massive thank you to them!

My mother-in-law came to live at Greatwood House in July 2015. In the time that she has been here, we have come to know all the staff, they work hard and are always focused on giving the best care possible, nothing is too much trouble for them. We as a family are happy when we leave the home that my
mother-in-law is getting the best care possible.

My experience as a friend of a resident when she was a resident here was that she was well looked after and the staff were excellent. My friend could be demanding but the girls looked after her so very well. I have recommended to other people to Greatwood House.

I am writing this review on behalf of my husband who has difficulty filling in forms. He seems very happy and contented with Greatwood. He attends twice weekly and looks forward to going.


I myself have spoken on occasion to members of staff who I find to be very helpful, understanding and kind.


I am very happy that my husband enjoys his two days visits and I have no concerns whatsoever.

My mother attends Greatwood for daycare and on the odd occasions to stay. If my mother is happy, not stressed, always willing to go, this says a lot to me.
The staff are always kind and attentive with her and she informs me she enjoys the food they give her. So this reassures me she is being cared
for.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.729)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.729) out of 10 for Greatwood House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.729 for Greatwood House is calculated as follows: ( (116 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 155 Ratings = 4.729
  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 Greatwood House is based on 13 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 13 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.
