Mum has been a resident at Victoria House for the past three years. The staff are professional and caring for her individual needs.
Cleanliness of the bedrooms, lounges and dining rooms are excellent. Mum looks forward to the singers on Tuesday and sometimes Fridays. She also enjoys the hairdresser
cutting and shampooing her hair.
When I visit and see her smiling face, I know she has settled well here.
Thank you to all staff at Victoria House for your professionalism and your caring attitude.
I would highly recommend Victoria House for the well being of a family member.

Victoria House became home to my Aunt who vowed she would never move into a care home! Her health improved dramatically due to the wonderful care and good food. I never visited the home when a drink of some sort wasn’t available which is vital to wellbeing. My Aunt was always well dressed and clean.
The home itself is very clean, warm and welcoming. Staff have all been wonderful to Aunty and us as a family. We were very relieved that she was able to receive all the care she needed within the home right until the end of her life. All her needs and ours were met by the very caring staff during this very hard time. We were privileged to be able to be with her to the end.
The experience we have had at Victoria House prompts me to say that I would have absolutely no qualms in recommending it to other members of my family should residential care ever be needed.
Thank you all for the love and care you gave my Aunt.

After a very short time, my Aunt settled into Victoria House. She loved the company, her Carers and the food. Nothing was too much for her Carers, they respected her and made her feel safe. She soon became part of the family and took part in all the activities she was able to, crafting, dominoes,
singing etc., which her Carers gently encouraged her to try. She loved her bedroom with its en-suite, though didn't spend all her time there as she liked to be in the lounge, to be with her new friends and her friendly Carers. It is a big decision to hand over a vulnerable loved one to strangers, but they were not strangers for long and quickly confirmed that we had made the right decision to choose Victoria House. But the care did not stop there, visiting family members were made to feel welcome and supported. They valued our input into the care package that was right for my Aunt. The family will always be grateful for the loving, caring experience my Aunt had during her stay there.

The staff at Victoria House are always friendly and very helpful, always busy working and looking after the residents. Mum always looks clean and tidy and her room is kept spotlessly clean and tidy too. Mum loves the staff. She likes having a laugh and a joke with them.

Reply from Eduard Lavelle, Manager at Victoria House Care Home

Dear Carol - thank you for your kind words - this means a lot to the team at Victoria House - who strive to offer a great service. I note that you are not happy with the current activities program. I know the residents loved our vocalist this Sunday (24th March) and yesterday (25th March) we had a 'birds of prey' experience at the home, which the residents loved. I wondered if you would like to contact the home on Tel: 0113 2708 529 to make any suggestions for improvements in this area? I look forward to your response.

I think the care my ex-husband received was very poor.
Staff not enough communication between staff and relatives.

Just wanted to say a big thank you to all the staff who made a difficult time for our family easy to bear. The care you showed my dad was of the highest quality. He enjoyed his stay with you even though it was an anxious time for him. In a world full of horror stories regarding elderly care, it was
reassuring to find this wonderful gem. Heartfelt thanks to all staff who cared for my dad.

My grandma has been in Victoria House for a couple of years now, the home is always clean. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Any problems are dealt with in a fast and professional way. My grandma enjoys taking part in any day trips and the daily activities that staff do and she also tells me
the food is lovely with plenty of options to choose from. Overall, I feel my grandma is very well looked after here and she is happy to be here.

The staff at Victoria House do an excellent job of caring for my mother, she can be awkward to deal with. She regularly refuses to go to bed on a night, insisting on sleeping in a chair in the lounge. The staff show great patience in dealing with her because this habit of sleeping in the chair causes
her neck to be painful and her bottom to be sore both of these areas are treated appropriately and her doctor is always called when necessary. Due to my mother's great age 100 and independent, awkward nature she occasionally falls. I am always notified and reassured that she is ok.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.704)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.704) out of 10 for Victoria House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 46 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 44 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 4.704 for Victoria House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (429 Excellents x 5) + (97 Goods x 4) + (17 Satisfactorys x 3) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 551 Ratings = 4.704

  • 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 Victoria House Care Home is based on 44 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 43 registered maximum number of service users is 8.6, which has been reached with 44 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.
