I cannot speak highly enough of the staff at Nightingales. The level of care they provide is excellent and is adapted to each resident. All members of staff are extremely approachable and communicative. In addition to the warm and friendly atmosphere at Nightingales, the accommodation is well maintained
and spotless.

Reply from Julie Wright, Manager at Nightingale

Thankyou for your lovely review and kind words. The staff are really happy that they are appreciated and your grandmother is an absolute pleasure to have. We are very grateful you entrust us with her care.

My Mother has been in Nightingale for approx 15 months.
I can honestly say it has been a 'god send'. She has settled in really well and received exceptional care. From the manager to all carers and office staff, everyone is friendly and welcoming.
Activities are varied and there is a great atmosphere.
The
choice of menu is good and the chef is so accommodating. Would have no hesitation in recommending Nightingale.

With all we read in the press nowadays, I was anxious about choosing a care home for my mum, but Nightingale proved to be an excellent choice. The staff treat my mum with kindness and always attend to her needs promptly. The home has a warm, family atmosphere. It is clean and modern and I always feel
welcome when I visit. My mother really enjoys the activities. I have no hesitation in recommending Nightingale.

My father-in-law has been in this home for nearly 3 years and we are so happy with the care given by all the staff. The staff are friendly and we are always made to feel welcome when visiting. He loves the singers and all the different activities that are provided. The home is so clean, I am so glad
we chose this home and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

My mum has taken some setting in due to symptoms of her Alzheimer's but the staff have gone above and beyond to make her feel at home. There is always something happening to keep her occupied and there are plenty of places to sit and have a chat with her. I was upset when my mum had to go into a care
home but I definitely feel we picked the best one!

My dad is so happy and content at Nightingale. His physical health and well-being has improved immensely. He thinks he's in a five-star hotel. The staff are so helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. Even management is hands-on. There is always entertainment and activities which are inclusive to all of
us. Recently, my mom passed, and all the staff stepped up for both my dad and me. I could never thank them enough. Knowing my dad is safe and happy is good.

Very friendly and caring care home. Staff can't do enough for Mum and our family. Mum is treated as an individual, and everyone knows her little ways and quirks. She is clearly loved and cared for. There is always something happening at Nightingale, something for everyone. My mum doesn't join in with
activities, so it was fantastic to hear that one day she was taken out for lunch at a local farm.

On every visit to see my mum, I am happily greeted with a smile.
All staff and helpers are so thoughtful, caring and helpful on all my visits.
Mum seems to be settling in ok after 3/4 weeks.
It's so much a comfort to know and see photographs, which are taken daily of my mum, to see her participating
in activities.
Staff reassured us about Mum on our visits that she is doing ok.

The management at Nightingale takes great pride in the way they look after the residents. The staff have a very difficult job looking after people with dementia. They work in a way that always treats people with dignity. The staff try very hard to entertain the residents as far as dementia will allow.
The manager does an excellent job of making sure residents come first in any decision-making. All in all, they are doing a very good job with my mother-in-law, whose dementia is slowly getting worse.

I was nervous of putting my mother in a care home but I now know I made the right decision based on the care and compassion of the management and staff at Nightingale. My mother has settled well and is happy there, where she is well looked after and given some simulation with activities and trips outside
the home. Dementia is such a difficult illness and they deal with it fantastically well in difficult circumstances.

Unfortunately, due to ill health, I am unable to care for my husband at home. However, I have peace of mind knowing he is well cared for while he is at Nightingale. I have seen how the staff treat my husband and others with kindness and respect. I frequently visit Nightingale and there is always a warm
welcome. The staff are so friendly. I enjoy the outside area, it is wonderful to sit out with my husband. He, however, enjoys the pub!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.885)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.885) out of 10 for Nightingale is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.885 for Nightingale is calculated as follows: ( (232 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 262 Ratings = 4.885

  • b) 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 Nightingale is based on 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
