I want to thank Abiden for all of the care they are giving to my mum. My family is so grateful to have found such a good place. Everytime we visit my mother is settled and happy and always looks immaculate. The staff are always friendly and caring. My mother's health has improved since being at
Abiden for the last 4 months. I do not have any negatives and would recommend this nursing home.

I am so happy that we have found Abiden care home for mum to live at. For the first time in 12 months we now have peace of mind in knowing that she's safe and cared for. In our search for a care home we found Abiden to be our favourite home as the environment is so homely, warm and safe and the staff
are always friendly and caring. Mum is very happy and settled here.

Helped to settle my mother in well. The staff are approachable and caring towards my mother. Spent time communicating with her and meeting her needs.
My mother has complex physical needs and again were proactive in getting her a hospital appointment when needed which has made a difference to my mother's
ongoing health.

My mother moved in 3 months ago, all staff have been amazing, both professional and polite at all times.
They cannot do enough to help both Mother and family, through the whole transition process of moving in.
The homely feel and caring environment is second to none.
As a family we can now relax
knowing Mother is safe and supported 24/7 by an amazing team.

Review from John S (Cousin of Resident) published on 29 March 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have nothing but praise for Abiden House , it starts from a certain member of staff through the manager and not least all the staff that work there. Nothing is too much trouble and every care is taken to ensure the wellbeing of the residents.
My cousin took a long while to enter a care home but when
she did had nothing but praise for the staff, her surroundings, and not least the food.
As for myself whenever I visited or rang the efficient, polite, professional, and above all friendly response I always received was appreciated.
I am not one who normally “gushes “ with praise but Abiden House in my view stands out.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mum moved into Abiden 2 years ago until she passed away in January of this year. We were always made to feel welcome as a family and could visit whenever. Mum changed rooms a few times for her own safety and each room was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. The whole home had a very welcoming
feel to it. When asking Mum what she liked about Abiden she always said “The food's good”. The staff were friendly, caring and good fun with mum. On a daily basis, the activities could have been more however they really outshone themselves during celebrations e.g. the king's coronation, Christmas, birthday parties where the cook always made a cake and they tried really hard with fundraising events. We have and would always recommend Abiden as a home for your loved ones.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My grandmother has now been a resident at Abiden since May 2023, and the care and support offered to her throughout that time has been of a consistently high level. The manager and all other staff, are warm and caring, with an overall ‘home from home’ atmosphere. Although it was not an easy decision
for Gran to move into a care home, I can rest in the knowledge she is in very safe hands. Thank you, Abiden.

I became a resident at Abiden Care Home at the end of April 2023 having moved from living with my son’s family in another area. The reason I moved here was because the rest of my family reside here.
I have been very happy here. It is a happy little home, the staff are excellent and will do anything
for you. The food and the cooks will cater for all needs. Thank you all for looking after me.

The home on my visits always looks really clean, their dining room experience is lovely to see table clothes and wine glasses.
The staff always ensure the residents look well dressed and the care is given with dignity. The food always looks good and the residents can choose what to have both at lunchtime
and at tea time.
The home has a friendly environment. My mum is well looked after by the whole team.

Since the home has been taken over by a new owner and the recent new management. I have seen a sizeable shift in all aspects of Abiden. A shift very much for the better. The home has a much more pleasing vibe and look. The changes taking place are terrific and have in my opinion, dramatically improved
the life and welfare of both residents and staff.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident here for five years. Her dementia means that she no longer recognises me but the staff are kind and considerate even when her behaviour is challenging. My mother is always clean and appropriately dressed. Her room is sunny and bright and tidy. The food is good (I've had
some). The staff are always helpful and happy to answer questions. I'm confident that she is well looked after. I can't comment on activities as I don't know if that happens during the week (I go at weekends).
My mother has to self-fund and although the monthly bills are expensive I think it's about the going rate for a good care home.
Reply from Paul Smith, Director of Care, Quality and Operations at Abiden

Thank you so much for your kind comments and excellent rating. Reviews mean a great deal to us and of course, especially to the team at the home who provide the love and care you generously refer to. We will ensure they are fully appraised of your views.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Having visited my friend of many years in Abiden over the last six months I have found the staff very friendly and accommodating under the circumstances - regarding covid. The management have sometimes been quite abrupt and less so! The home is clean. As I haven't been able to go into my friend's bedroom
due to covid restrictions, I really can't comment on the rooms (as in bedroom) and have only been in either of the two lounges. My friend does rave about the food though which is good. The safety of the residents has always been the priority as far as I have seen with multiple measures implemented during covid. The home's security measures are ample. My only concern is that there doesn't appear to be any activities going on in the home to stimulate residents!

Dear Joanne
Thank you very much for your helpful review of Abiden. We have recently, in the past 2 months, taken over the Abiden Care Home service and are working hard to implement many new positive changes to the home. We have recruited a new activities co-ordinator and the feedback has been very positive. We are extremely proud of the bedrooms at Abiden and we will be showcasing some of the fantastic decor in these rooms. We thank you for your feedback regarding the safety and the food and we will continue working hard to improve the service.
Kind Regards

I have recently visited my father at Abiden Care Home and I cannot recommend it highly enough. The environment was extremely pleasant and the staff demonstrated exceptional customer care and a genuinely warm and person-centred approach. It is clear that my father's needs are at the heart of his care.
I feel confident in their professionalism and my father's care.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.951)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.951) out of 10 for Abiden is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.951 for Abiden is calculated as follows: ( (136 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 142 Ratings = 4.951
  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 Abiden is based on 12 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 22 registered maximum number of service users is 4.4, which has been reached with 12 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.
