My father is very settled at Keate House. He has been a resident for over 4 years. He is well cared for and staff are kind, considerate and compassionate. Any concerns or issues I have had, (there have been very few) are taken seriously and acted on.
I trust the staff, and know they have my Dad's
best interests at heart.
Many thanks to all the staff, who each make it feel like a family home.
Reply from Andrew Jardine, Accounts Assistant at Keate House Residential HomeThank you so much for your kind words. It has been a pleasure to care for your father and we are glad that you appreciate that our residents are family to the staff. We are pleased that we have been so reactive to any concerns and that you have had a positive resolution each time.

I would highly recommend Keate house to others.

Mum has been here over 8 years now. It has a great entertainment team even though she is passed joining in now. The care she receives every day is unquestionable and the whole family can trust she is safe. All the staff clearly care and love the residents and have the patience of saints answering the
same questions over and over with gentleness and care.

My father-in-law was looked after superbly. He loved his time at Keate House. The staff and management were very kind throughout his time there, especially in his final days. Our family and Dad were treated with care and dignity throughout. We were always greeted with a smile and kept up to date at
all times. Dad also enjoyed the entertainment provided by the team too. His happiness was all that counted, and that is what was given.
Reply from Andrew Jardine, Accounts Assistant at Keate House Residential HomeWe were honoured to look after your father-in-law during his final days and we are so happy that we made them as pleasant as they could be, for both him and for all of the family.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my father entered Keate House, after living independently until well into his 90's, we've all been pleased and relieved that he has settled in so well.


Whenever we see or talk to dad, we always privately check on how he is doing. And he always mentions the kind and helpful staff. I think another

big draw for him is the excellent food. He's always loved his food, and this was one of the things that helped him decide on Keate House.


The medical help and support has also been great, with Keate House staff liaising with health professionals where necessary.


All of us, including dad, are very happy with Keate House.

Reply from Andrew Jardine, Accounts Assistant at Keate House Residential HomeThank you so much for your kind words. We couldn't be happier with how well your father has settled and that he is enjoying his time with us, we will do our utmost to ensure that he continues to enjoy his time with us and remains happy and well cared for.

Mum has been living at Keate House for almost 7 years. Throughout the whole time she has been well looked after and entertained. As her dementia has deteriorated and her needs have changed, the staff have adapted to her needs. What really stands out at Keate House is the number of staff who have been
there throughout the whole period of Mum's stay. This includes many carers and staff working in other functions. This creates a strong, friendly and knowledgeable atmosphere that feels like one big family. I struck lucky when I found Keate House. I would not want Mum to be anywhere else.
Reply from Andrew Jardine, Accounts Assistant at Keate House Residential HomeThank you so much for your lovely words. We are proud to have been such a perfect home for your mother, and we will continue to be the best place for her and for you.

Always greeted in a positive manner when I visit. Staff know all the residents and can talk about the residents' families confidently. They are able to name family members. Residents are always treated with dignity and respect. Staff ensure residents eat and drink well. Constantly give drinks out and
prompt them to drink. A lovely home that has looked after my mum perfectly.

My mum arrived here and was in desperate need to be cared for. From day one the staff have been amazing so kind caring for my mum. The premises is always clean, well maintained, welcoming. The activities, meals available is excellent. Mums room is well decorated, clean, tidy. Mum is now living her life,
even though she has dementia I feel that through the dedication and care from the staff she is able to enjoy her life. Most importantly I know mum is safe, well cared for and that is all I can wish for.

Our Mum has been living at Keate House for over two years and she calls it 'home'. It is home: her home, a home where the most wonderful, kind, and caring staff look after her with dignity, love, and professionalism.
She is safe and happy, eats well, and has lots of fun joining in with the many amazing
activities which are organised daily. We certainly could not have chosen a better place! Thank you to everyone there.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mum has been living at Keate House for over two years. She's 97, with dementia and a bad leg, and it's a great relief to know she is in safe hands. Keate House is family-owned and run and the sole focus of all the staff is to make the residents' lives as good as possible. The whole atmosphere is
very different from the care home from the big chain that my aunt was in. There are lots of activities, of varied types, so that there's something for everybody despite their condition. I can go and visit any time, take her out around the village in the wheelchair or out in the car, and everybody is helpful and cooperative. They also understand the different ways dementia affects people, and whether a change is an expected progression or some unrelated infection that needs referring to the GP. We are so glad we found Keate House.
Reply from Andrew Jardine, Accounts Assistant at Keate House Residential HomeThank you so much for your kind review, we are very proud of our atmosphere and the care with which we prioritise the safety and well-being of our residents. We love to take Mum out and have her join in any activities she wishes to and we are thrilled that you are so happy with the service we provide.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the outset, everyone at Keate House has been understanding and friendly when dealing both with my mum, who suffers from dementia, and our family, who obviously want the best care possible in her time of need. Regular communication, ease of visiting, attention to detail, and quality surroundings,
all made possible by the wonderful staff, mean that I couldn't recommend anywhere better for my mum at this time in her life. It's also the little things, like the number of activities and stimulation that all the residents receive and the respect that each and everyone also gets, that means the environment, whilst challenging for the multiple needs of everyone concerned, is welcoming and run like a family home rather than a care establishment.
Reply from Andrew Jardine, Accounts Assistant at Keate House Residential HomeThank you so much for your kind words, as always we are honoured to be caring for your mother and grateful for your continued trust and our joint efforts to ensure the best possible care and quality of life for her.

My uncle moved to Keate House in early June 2024. Everything about the experience has been fantastic. The carers are all so friendly. He is so well looked after. The food is lovely and he often says he has enjoyed it. There is plenty of entertainment for residents. He has visited the village and the
ice cream farm. The grounds are beautiful and very accessible. His room is great. Keate House just cannot do enough for the residents. My uncle has not stopped smiling since he arrived. Thank you for everything.

The staff at Keate are very kind, caring, and professional. Everyone has gone out of their way to ensure that Mum's transition to the home was as smooth and seamless as possible. Nothing has been too much trouble and the standard of communication between Keate, Mum, and us as relatives has been exemplary.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.993)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.993) out of 10 for Keate House Residential Home 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.993 for Keate House Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (285 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 287 Ratings = 4.993
  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 Keate House Residential Home is based on 24 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 54 registered maximum number of service users is 10.8, which has been reached with 24 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.
