Review from Valerie D (Wife of Resident) published on 16 January 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband has been in Yew Trees for 18 months. I have found the home to be very organised and all the staff are caring, efficient and friendly. They treat the residents with dignity. The meals are well prepared and all their needs are catered for. The home is very clean and my husband and all the other
residents are kept clean and dry. I have first-hand experience of this as I am a volunteer and am present at the home every day.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The home is very very nice now, any issues are dealt with promptly. I asked if my dad could be moved downstairs and this was all sorted out in a proper manner.
The new room and all areas are fabulous. Ten out of ten.
I also think the staff are more happy and confident due to much better surroundings
and having a confident manager to steady the ship.
Thank you!!

Just wanted to say a big thank you to all the staff for all their help with my father's 90th birthday party. All the family who attended commented on how friendly and accommodating the staff were and how well my father looked! I know he really enjoyed the sing-song and the party food provided was very
much appreciated.
Thank you from all our family and friends.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I found all the staff caring people, who do the job because they care. In the recent past, I feel that communication between staff and management to be lacking. I am pleased to say that is now improving. The entertainment was non-existent however this has improved with the employment of an activities
coordinator. We had 3 afternoons of entertainment recently, two were excellent, the other a bit dull, nobody dancing. But it's happening and getting better. More care helping patients eating meals plus types of food for patients struggling with food. This is at last happening, chefs and management now talk to each other. Documentation of accidents is good, the GP and management work well together. A good regime with giving tablets etc.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Since the new manager has taken over at this care home I have seen huge and impressive improvements. The cleanliness of the care home is very noticeable. A lady has been employed to do activities with the residents. A noticeboard has been put up with all the activities, these include days out, planting
flowers in the pots in the garden, doing the residents nails. The garden at the home wasn't looking very nice but since the new manager took over the flags have all been cleaned the pots are ready for plants. Workmen are working in the home to install a wetroom.

Sadly my stepfather passed away in April of this year in hospital. He was a resident at Yew Trees for over five years. He was well looked after and happy in his time there. The activities and care he received have been marvellous.
I would have no qualms in recommending Yew Trees for care of the elderly,
especially with dementia.
They are treated with dignity and kindness at all times even under great pressure.

My uncle has been in Yew Trees for the past 12+ months. He is very happy and is always joking with staff, who I feel really understand what he needs and help him feel included. I cannot praise the staff there highly enough as it can be quite challenging.

My overall experience with the care home has been a positive one. Staff are friendly and helpful and entertainment is good. Nice to see they try to involve all residents good standard of care. Some of the staff are wonderful keeping you up to date with your loved ones progress. (Thank you).
Sometimes
there has been no pads, toilet roll or towel in the bathroom when I have taken my grandma to her room which is concerning, however, staff get it sorted one brought to their attention.

My father has been a resident at Yew Trees for 2 years. He is very happy and settled there which I believe is mainly due to the staff and the pleasant surroundings. He is well cared for and treated with kindness and dignity. The carers are supportive and understanding of both his needs and my concerns
for his continued well-being.
I take him out regularly and see him daily. He is always presentable and happy and they always make sure he is ready to go out when I arrive. I am grateful for what they do for both him and me.

I visit Yew Trees fortnightly to visit my auntie. I am retired Psychiatric Nurse/Care manager for elderly mentally infirm - my daughter who is also Psychiatric Nurse often visits with me. We are so happy with the care she receives, the staff are so willing and friendly and I am/we are so impressed with
their communication skills empathy and understanding shown to the residents.
When leaving my auntie at Yew Trees we are happy to do so knowing she is so well cared for. There is a lovely atmosphere in the home created by a wonderful group of staff who all care so much about their residents - it is a pleasure to visit.

The home does very well providing good care and regular updates to relatives. A good environment and helpful staff, laundry does have faults like giving clothes to wrong people even when they are labelled; and mum sometimes has no knickers in her room although she has about 10 pairs. Overall good, caring,
staff and management who provide information on request and genuinely seem to care about residents well being.

Thank you for taking the time to complete a review. We really value the feedback provided by those who use our services.


You have highlighted a concern around lost clothing, and we apologise for any upset or distress this caused.


We recommend all items of clothing are named – with labels, name tapes, or similar – so that staff members can identify which items of clothing belongs to each Resident, and to prevent losses. If you would like assistance with this, please do speak to a member of staff at the home.


We endeavour to ensure each Residents’ clothing is washed and returned to them, and we apologise again that on this occasion this has not happened.


Thanking you again for taking the time to provide really helpful feedback about the home. We value all feedback and ensure it is recorded and acted upon.

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.
