Review from L M (Respite Resident) published on 18 October 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Having had major surgery, I needed residential care/support until I could travel to my family down south.


Walton Manor provided the care and support needed, bearing in mind I was completely mobile and able to make all decisions for myself. The staff were always on hand to help/support me with surgical

stockings, also offering bathing support which I didn't need


Walton Manor's grounds are relaxing and a pleasure to sit in, walk around and ground staff are very pleasant to talk to. All the staff were very pleasant and caring. I can only stay that staying at Walton Manor more than aided my good and rapid recovery.

Walton Manor is the perfect place for the twilight years.
The staff have been absolutely wonderful and cannot do enough to ensure that mum's needs are met.
Everyone is so friendly and understands the difficulties in coming to terms with not being able to return home.
I have visited a number of CQC
Good rated homes and nowhere comes close to the standards of Walton Manor.

Review from K J (Wife of Resident) published on 2 October 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I am full of admiration for the staff at Walton Manor, that includes the kitchen and laundry, but my main contact is with the carers, who go about their many tasks with good humour and patience. I was not familiar with what goes on in a residential home but I do realise what a difficult and fantastic
job they do.


It was not easy having to place my husband in Walton Manor, but he settled well and I think mostly is very happy.

Review from Kathleen I (Respite Resident) published on 15 August 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
During February 2017, I had two strokes plus a chest infection followed by pneumonia which left me at 88 in a weakened state. Following convalescence with my family, I was able to return home at Easter with family back up, and made good progress as both sides of my family were due to be away at the
same time In July. I booked myself into Walton Manor for two weeks respite care to give them peace of mind and also to " test the water" should the need ever arises. It was a worthwhile experiment and I was so favourably impressed with the general attitude of care and kindness by all the staff so the uncertain future holds no fears. Thank you.

Walton Manor staff are very caring and responsive to individual needs. Every request I have made has been dealt with efficiently and with a smile. Residents seem happy and comfortable. The food and facilities are excellent, a luxurious surrounding. I felt confident that my relative is safe, well cared
for and as happy as she can be.

A good welcome into the home and my room was excellent with everything provided. All the staff were very helpful, kind and considerate. The food was very good and the home is set in beautiful grounds. I would certainly recommend this care home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Walton Manor became "home" to my mum about a year ago, where she received nothing but care and kindness. This also extended to the rest of our family - where their support was always there. It is a lovely environment - but the staff are the people who make it the place it is. We cannot praise them enough
- they will have our ongoing thanks.

Review from Barbara H (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 13 April 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My view of Walton Manor over the last year has been very enlightening. I was without any experience of this type of environment - other than the horrors you see in the news. This was, therefore, wonderful when I was able to see a lovely homely environment, where people were cared for as if they were
in a hotel "with extra benefits". The atmosphere is happy and the staff are wonderful. I know this is paid for - but you buy care - you cannot buy the kindness! It is wonderful.

Review from Ann K (Resident) published on 30 June 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I used the service for 4 weeks respite care after a total right hip replacement. The care and help from all staff was very good. I was very unwell early in my stay and the staff looked after me well. The menu choices and standard of food was very good and I enjoyed all meals once I felt better. There
is no way I could have managed at home after my brief stay in hospital, so I am very appreciative of the help and support which has helped me to return home after 4 weeks.

I was devastated to have to put my father into care. The staff made it very easy he got 100% care entertainment, stimulation and love. I was made to feel like I was a part of a big family, nothing was too much trouble, any concerns I had was dealt with, my father had a permanent smile on his face. I
can't find strong enough words to say how thankful I am to the full team of Walton Manor. It is my pleasure to send this questionnaire.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.527)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.527) out of 10 for Walton Manor is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.527 for Walton Manor is calculated as follows: ( (73 Excellents x 5) + (51 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 129 Ratings = 4.527
  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 Walton Manor is based on 11 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 47 registered maximum number of service users is 9.4, which has been reached with 11 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.
