Review from Andrew S (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 8 June 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Visited my mother-in-law twice since she recently moved into Willersley House. Pleased to see a friendly welcome from the staff on duty who greeted my mother-in-law by name. A programme of activities was available throughout the week for residents to attend if they wish, I didn't witness any myself.
Cleanliness appeared good, can't comment on the food. My mother-in-law reports that the staff are lovely and the food is good. She appreciates the religious services held regularly at the home.

My aunt moved to Willersley House from another care home where we had issues with the standard of care being provided. The staff at Willersley were brilliant in helping us make the move as quickly as possible. Now my aunt has settled in at Willersley she is so much happier. She loves the food and all
the activities which she enjoys. The standard of care being provided is excellent.

Willersley is a lovely home. There is so much love and care shared. The staff are extremely caring and the residents, too, are caring and concerned for each other.
My mum enjoys the activities and the services.
The food is a hit too, she really enjoys it - eating things she's not eaten for years!
Reply from Jen Lawrence, Home Manager at Willersley HouseThank you very much for taking the time to leave this review. I am very grateful for your kind words and will be sure to share them with my team.

A beautiful home, everyone is very friendly, very clean, no smells. A choice of two meals, bedrooms are excellently thought out for residents, a lovely playroom; entertainment twice a day every day, great facilities - beautiful grounds. No strict visiting. Management and staff are always available.
All residents are very happy. A home from home.

The overall experience was outstanding. Mum needed respite care at short notice after a bad fall. The management and staff could not have been more obliging or professional. Mum was treated with dignity and kindness throughout her short stay.
Reply from Jen Lawrence, Home Manager at Willersley HouseThank you very much for taking the time to leave this review, I am very grateful for your kind words and will be sure to share them with my team. It was our pleasure to support mum during her stay with us and a privilege to contribute in a small way to her confidence and recovery. Please send her our best wishes. Thank you again.

Willersley House is a lovely place to live. My mum has been there a month now and has settled in so well. She feels very much at home in her room, surrounded by furniture she was able to take with her. She looks forward to the meals and is full of praise for her carers, who treat her with respect, kindness
and warmth. Visitors are always welcome and never made to feel they're getting in the way. There are lots of daily activities on offer for residents to join in with if they wish, and there's always someone around with time for a chat - no one need feel lonely there! The rooms are bright and clean, and the atmosphere generally is that of a big happy family. I am so pleased we found Willersley.

Mum was in Willersley House for two years and then Covid hit. She really enjoyed the home, especially the activities and going out. With Covid, she was unhappy so came to live with me. However, after two years she wanted to return to the home which she did in October 2021. Unfortunately, four or more
of the senior team had left and so did the chef. Standards were affected but now have been restored to their exceptionally high standard. Credit to all staff.

Welcoming, warm, caring and sympathetic. Thourough and efficient 24/7. Respect for privacy. Reliable daily routine. Secure and safe ambience where you can relax. Open to all visitors but maybe needs easier access to qualified medics. Good activity programme choices.

Very, very friendly staff - warm and welcoming. The room was basic but clean. They all (staff) looked after Mum from start to finish. Although Mum was confused initial, she settled in and, in fact, will be spending another period shortly.

A lovely, homely atmosphere in a beautiful, well-maintained building. All staff, whatever their role, are friendly and respectful to the residents and each other. Any concerns staff or I have regarding Mum are happily discussed and an action plan is agreed upon and acted on. Mum continues to be supported
in settling in in her new home of four months and staff understand how hard it can be moving into a residential home. The activities are very well organised and residents involved in choosing upcoming events and whether to take part on the day.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My father has been resident in Willersley House for a couple of months. The staff are very much "on the ball" and very caring and professional. When he arrived, I sought out the Chaplin and asked her to come and introduce herself. She already knew my father was arriving, this level of coordination
shows that this is a well run home, working efficiently, and has only continued very well over the next few weeks.
His only complaint is that sometimes there is too much food, and he can't always finish it all!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When visiting the home it really does feel like home for the residents. Warm, friendly and inviting. All the staff are amazing, it is evident the residents are their main concern. All the residents are happy, comfortable and content. When a resident started to get upset the staff comforted her instantly.
The interaction between all staff including care, management team, kitchen, laundry and maintenance with the residents is outstanding. Well done to you all and thank you.
Reply from Rebecca Blakeston, Deputy Manager at Willersley HouseThank you so much for your positive review. We all strive to ensure that we have that "family feel" here at Willersey House as soon as you walk through the door.
We really appreciate the lovely feedback and I will pass on your thanks to all departments.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.411)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.411) out of 10 for Willersley House 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 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 4.511 for Willersley House is calculated as follows: ( (110 Excellents x 5) + (69 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 190 Ratings = 4.511
  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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Willersley House is based on 16 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 = 3.9
    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 34 registered maximum number of service users is 6.8, which has been reached with 16 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.
