Review from Margaret H (Friend of Resident) published on 17 August 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Staff are friendly and welcoming. Good security at entrance witch clear covid safety instructions and free PPE. Excellent bubble arrangements. Home is all on a level so no stairs and a lovely paved garden. Staff and residents all seem cheerful and I have found the staff helpful and polite. Only one
criticism, my friend tells me that two of the staff have told her to "try harder or she won't be able to move to live with her daughter", staff need better training. My friend's illness is caused by her medication, not a mental choice! All staff I have met have been very helpful and patient with residents.

My mum has been in the care home for over a year now. She is very happy and settled and it is all thanks to the wonderful staff. They are there for her when she needs them so I thank them for looking after her.

I was really worried about my nan going into a home, however, we haven't seen her this happy for so long, she has settled so well and that is down to the amazing care she has received. She is so well looked after and the carers are amazing and nothing is too much for them! So helpful.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum initially came into the home on respite care and she is now a permanent resident. Initially, I was really upset about mum going into a home. I honestly cannot recommend the home high enough, the staff are amazing, and genuinely care, mum is really happy. I am always kept fully up to date on everything.
The home is always clean and has a happy feel about it. The home has all Covid measures in place to keep residents safe.

Mum has settled well into the care home and has been made to feel very welcome. Mum has quite diverse needs due to poor sight and dementia but the team and manager have gone out of their way to try and cater to mum's needs. The home is very clean and feels very homely with a lovely garden area.

Review from Robert C (Son of Resident) published on 28 July 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father resided at Wealstone residential home and was taken care of in a very loving, caring and professional manner at all times. I however live in Canada but whenever I called the home, there was always a polite and courteous voice answering the phone and their efforts to get a hold of my father
so I could talk to him, they were amazing. I can't express enough how much of a relief it was being so far away from him but knowing that he was being well looked after and cared for 24/7. Unfortunately, he passed away on July 7th 2021, but I know that his last days were very comforting and his passing was a very peaceful one, mainly for the care and attention that he received. In closing I would like to say that my experience in dealing with the staff at Wealstone was a pure delight and that anyone thinking of placing a family member in the Wealstone Care Home would be making a very good choice indeed, they certainly put my mind at rest all of the time.

Review from Enrico T (Son of Resident) published on 28 June 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been in the care of Wealstone now since November 2020. Getting mum into the home was an extremely difficult and stressful process, and the staff couldn't have been more supportive during that time. I was concerned that she just wouldn't want to stay there at first, but within a short space
of time, I saw a huge improvement in her behaviour and her health. The staff are extremely caring to their residents, that is clear. In the time I've been going to the home, I've not once seen anything other than amazing care, patience and affection for my mum. She has been through a lot these past few months, and they've really been there for her. I can't thank them enough for what they've done. In fact, my mum has really settled into the home now and today I took her out for lunch for the first time and she went back into the home with no hesitation! A huge thank you to all the staff, and especially the manager who has been a rock for the family through all this.

The staff at Wealstone are caring and professional. They have done their best to keep Wealstone Residential/Care Home safe through the Covid crisis to date. The new manager has made some improvements and there are more activities taking place. The building itself needs updating - especially the doors
and windows which are in a state of disrepair. The changes inside are a big improvement.

My aunty has learning disabilities and is blind. I cannot state enough how well she has been looked after during COVID. We as a family feel well informed and that she is getting the highest standard of care. The staff at Wealstone feel like a second family and the care she has received is second to
none.

My Mum moved into Wealstone Care Home full time in February '20, which was shortly followed by lockdown. Although a difficult decision for us to make as a family at the time, we feel she's been in the best and safest place. The staff have been wonderful and caring during the last few months. She's clearly
happy and loves the company of the other residents. Regular updates are posted with many photos, so we can see she's enjoying herself with all the activities. Window visits have been allowed which is great to just phone and pop down and see her regularly. We're very grateful to the wonderful staff looking after her. Thank you.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mum has been a resident here since February, I and the rest of our family are very happy with all the staff and care she receives.
My mum found it very hard to settle at first, and due to the Covid 19, we only get to see her through the window. I do feel if we could have had some more video chats
it may have made it a little easier, but the staff are so busy and obviously have to make sure everyone is safe and well. I can understand why it may be difficult to get a fixed time that is suitable for all concerned. However, I wouldn’t dream of letting mum reside anywhere else; I do feel like all the residents and staff are like family.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has lived at Wealstone over a number of years and she has been extremely happy there. She has met numerous friends and some as far back as her school days, this helped as they had lots of things in common.
The staff have been exceptional, particularly over the last few months when mum was
not able to look after herself, nothing was ever too much trouble. The staff were not only mums support care but they were her friends and she always saw them that way, constantly monitoring her when she couldn't leave her room and also installing room alerts due to falling periods.


A special bed was made available for her and puréed food provided to improve her comfort, sadly we lost mum earlier than month and as gratitude to Wealstone mums funeral started at Wealstone to allow staff, friends and residents to pay there respects.


In conclusion I would recommend this home, the staff are brilliant and the level of care and attention is excellent. Thank you for looking after Mum !!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.679)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.679) out of 10 for Wealstone 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.679 for Wealstone is calculated as follows: ( (116 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 159 Ratings = 4.679
  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 Wealstone is based on 14 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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4, which has been reached with 14 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.
