Review from C C (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 11 September 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our granny had lived at Firth House for around two and a half years, in this time she had declined in her physical and mental health but the staff at Firth House made a great effort to maintain her care and dignity, giving reassurance and support throughout to granny and our family. Unfortunately, granny
became unexpectedly poorly and required end-of-life care. The staff at Firth House supported us as a family to keep granny comfortable and content in her own room as she saw this as her home, the staff at Firth House generally work very hard at keeping residents happy and safe but as granny was near the end of her life they absolutely excelled at ensuring she and our family had everything needed for her final stages of life. Thank you so much for the kindness and care given to granny throughout her stay at Firth House.

Review from Layla D (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 24 July 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother-in-law was in a care home in Germany for 2 years, both her physical and mental health declined significantly over the last six months; exasperated by regular falls. We resigned ourselves that she would not improve and brought her back to be close to us all. The interactions with the staff
and the care attention (after only 2 days) at Firth House, were so significant that one can only draw the conclusion that a well-staffed and caring residential home is key to ensuring the dignity of the elderly.
We arrived to find an eagerly chatty, engaging lady, well cared for. To top it off, she no longer feared getting up to walk, although aided she walked to the dining room, something we thought was impossible.
Thank you to the team leader and the rest of the staff.
If I was to encapsulate the ethos of Firth House; the energy is extremely positive, the patients are treated with dignity and an abundance of respect.
Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My grandad has been in Firth House now for over a year and I'm so thankful for how well cared for he is. Ever since day one and settling Firth House care staff have been there and ensure every single aspect of grandad's well well-being is catered for. Upon visits to grandad he always states how happy
he is and how well cared for he is and that he is in such a good home. He literally has nothing but praise and appreciation for the whole team, and him smiling on every visit gives so much reassurance. When tough days have come there's always been staff about with absolute care and understanding and always been able to feel I can speak to someone. It's lovely to see social postings within the care home as a whole including activities within the main lounge and residents being involved with every aspect. I'm so grateful my grandad has gone to live in a care setting where every single member gives the most professional care. Thank you so much to you all.

Mum is well settled and comfortable and obviously enjoying the food provided. Whilst she doesn't remember the various activities it is a comfort seeing the various social media updates where she is obviously fully engaged and enjoying her time there. The staff are all very caring and I get comfort myself
knowing she is well cared for.

Very good to be around, they are brilliant with the residents, very very helpful, and the manager is so helpful with everyone. My uncle is like my dad because he brought me up and only the best will do. He loves it at Firth House and they all love him, but not as much as me.

My mother has been a resident of Firth House for several years and the care she has received has been first-class. The staff are wonderful in the way they care for her, they treat her with respect ensuring her dignity is respected at all times and her hygiene is cared for. I have confidence in approaching
management should I have any concerns knowing that they are acted on. The food is first class with a good menu.

My mum was hospitalised after a fall and breaking her coccyx. I was concerned that she would have to go elsewhere for rehabilitation but Firth House took her back despite the extra work looking after Mum as she is unable to walk at the moment. They have been brilliant in accommodating her extra needs,
and the staff care very much about their long-term residents. They are kind and compassionate and deal in a business-like but humourous manner and are always empathetic and supportive to family members.

My father has received excellent care in Firth House. His care has become more demanding during the three and a half years he has been here, but staff have been very supportive to me and my father. As my father's disease progresses, we hope he'll be able to stay at Firth House. The meals are always
very good. The afternoon cakes and ice creams are always a treat! The activities are very valued and enjoyable. It's always a treat for my father that I can bring my dog too!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife recently died. She had been a resident of Firth House for almost 3 years. Throughout her stay my wife was always treated with kindness in a dignified but loving manner. This was done in a very professional way by well trained staff working well together. A credit to good management and training.
Her room was always immaculate and her personal presentation excellent. As our family is spread around Europe ease of clear communication was essential. We have no complaints. It was a momentous decision to move my wife into care. It quickly became apparent that the loving care and professionalism provided by Firth House far exceeded what was possible at home. This continued right up until her recent death. As a family we are forever grateful to the wonderful manager and her excellent team.

Very caring - good activities - good for interaction.
Ensuring the TV is always on to suit the patient's needs, i.e. current programmes, sports etc.
Allowing the patient to interact with other residents, i.e. overall activities.
Pleasant dining facilities and good food.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.976)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.976) out of 10 for Firth House 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 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.976 for Firth House is calculated as follows: ( (371 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 380 Ratings = 4.976
  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 Firth House is based on 32 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 41 registered maximum number of service users is 8.2, which has been reached with 32 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.
