Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Care has improved but could do with more staff particularly the weekend. Would like to see management having a presence downstairs time to time.
Isn't it about time to re-cover the furniture in the lounge?
Reply from Katie Price, Careline Advisor at Roby House Care Centre

We would like to re-assure you that following a review of our staffing levels we have recently recruited a number of staff for the home who will start over the next few weeks. The Home Manager regularly walks around both floors in the home, we also have a Deputy in the home, who supports the Home Manager particularly during the holiday period, both are happy to discuss any concerns with Residents and their family.


The home is due to have some refurbishment work on both floors in the home which will include new carpets and furniture. We are waiting for the start date for this work to be confirmed.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad is suffering from advanced Alzheimers and has difficulty communicating and mobility problems. After an unsatisfactory stay for respite care in another home, we had some trepidation about his entry into Roby. We could not have been more wrong. The staff are caring and considerate and show genuine
concern for the welfare of the residents. The rooms are airy and bright and the facilities very good. We are very impressed by the new manager who has an open door policy and is very approachable. In short, we are delighted by the treatment received at Roby. Thank you!

I have been here around 18 months. Service has been quite good, but quite a few changes due to a change of management and ownership. A lot of things have improved but it is taking time and it is encouraging.

Review from Gareth B (Grandson of Resident) published on 21 March 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I recently visited here to pay a visit to my gran. The first thing I noticed when I walked into the place was how clean and fresh the place was.I was greeted by a member of staff who were all very pleasant, friendly, and very professional and competent in the jobs they were doing. My Gran is very settled
at this care home and when I spoke to her she was very happy and very content with where she was and with the people around her. She said all the staff were amazing and she was very happy with the care she had received during her time here. She even mentioned the meals she had received and said they were too a very high standard. The manager Lee even took time out too come over and introduce himself and say hello. He was very friendly and polite and greeted us with a smile and you see just by talking to him that he was very passionate about his job. He assured me that my gran would receive the highest standards of care while she was with them. Highly recommended 10/10 rated.

The facilities here are fantastic, especially after the new management has been put into place. This is definitely a care home I'd recommend to anybody who is struggling with a family member or who knows if anybody who is struggling.

Really impressed with the facility in Roby. Cannot fault the care of nurses and carers for end of life caring.

Very clean care facilities. Staff helpful and friendly, attend to Mum's needs very well. Level of activities to stimulate residents could be increased.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.921)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.921) out of 10 for Roby House Care Centre 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.921 for Roby House Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (118 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 127 Ratings = 4.921
  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 Roby House Care Centre is based on 11 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 55 registered maximum number of service users is 11, which has been reached with 11 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.
