This home is a home to my mother-in-law. She is taken care of completely and the staff feel like family to her. I can always pick up the phone and talk to staff or see them there if I have a question or a worry. I said a good to activities because I am not always there to see what they do. The once
or twice that I did see an activity it was excellent. Thank you.

There have been a lot of changes at Yew Trees over the last couple of years, for the better! Yew Trees is a comfortable, happy home run by a good manager and dedicated staff, many have worked at the home for many years, providing continuity of care to the residents. I feel confident that my Mum is cared
for and looked after very well, especially now when we are going through these difficult times, and the home has had to close. Thank you to all dedicated staff who are working hard to keep my mum safe and well.

We struggled to find a suitable home to meet Mum's needs, which was causing a lot of stress on the family. On speaking to the senior staff at Yew Trees they were understanding and supportive and arranged to visit Mum at home. On this visit,d they were really interested in Mum, talked to her and observed
her behaviour. She was then admitted and we have never looked back. My Mum is now happy, clean and care for with compassion. The staff are experienced and enjoy their job and seem to be static (not high turnover of staff).

Generally happy with services provided.
However, signs on "understaffing" are apparent. Carers always rushing about - sometimes a lack of supervision in communal areas.
Reply from Clare Sheehan, Careline Advisor at Yew Trees

Thank you for your review, we value all feedback as this helps us to improve our service where required. We really appreciate your positive comments regarding our home. The staffing levels at Yew Trees are under constant review by the management team within HC-One. Each month or following any changes to occupancy and dependency levels, the Clinical Risk Register is updated which allows us to review whether the staffing levels in the home are sufficient in terms of skill mix and staffing numbers. There are occasions when staff have been absent from work and in the first instance, we tried to cover these shifts with our own staff or other HC-One staff from sister homes.

I feel the care provided is adequate, but I also fee that there is not enough staff sometimes when two carers are toileting residents it only leaves one carer on the floor to deal with situations which can occur, reducing the standards of care at this time.

Staff maintain a constant watch over the residents being occupied with the preparation of drinks, snacks and meals at various times of the day. Residents are attended to for personal needs, feeding, toilet visit or general social interaction. A congenial atmosphere is maintained creating a positive
atmosphere where guests feel safe and secure.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our mother has been a resident at Yew Trees just over 12 months and the care she receives is great. The care staff work so hard together with other employees of the home. They provide a caring and dedicated service to my mum. Nothing is too much trouble. At times, especially weekends, there appears
to be a shortage of staff for whatever reason? Therefore, the staff are even busier at this time. Our mother receives respected and dignified care by all the team.

The staff and care have been superb. From our first visit when we were trying to find a home the staff have been caring and kind.
We can go home now knowing that mum is safe and happy.

A friendly atmosphere is evident when you walk in. All the staff are helpful and patient with residents. Individual needs are met and patients are free to move about the home if they choose.
A choice of food is available and dietary needs catered for. Staff will go to the shops for residents if they
require something and days out are also arranged.

From management to day carer/night carer/kitchen staff/ cleaners/ hairdressers/ volunteers, they are all amazing, nothing is too much trouble for any member of staff.


They are family orientated and looked after my mum as if she were their own. Cannot thank them enough.

Since my dad has been in this home things have improved. Since the new manager has taken over the issues have all been addressed and everything about the home is getting better month by month. The staff are brilliant and always make you feel at home.


I know my dad is getting the best care we could

ask for.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.287)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.287) out of 10 for Yew Trees is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.287 for Yew Trees is calculated as follows: ( (113 Excellents x 5) + (59 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 202 Ratings = 4.287
  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 Yew Trees is based on 15 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 43 registered maximum number of service users is 8.6, which has been reached with 15 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.
