We received a friendly welcome from the house manager and her assistant. All the staff looked after us with great care and willing to help us when needed. This is a clean, well run home and we intend to come back again.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum is being really well looked after by caring, kind, patient people whose hearts are all in exactly the right places. Challenges Mum has had have been dealt with professionalism and by consulting with outside help (Behaviour Support Team) and with a conscientious desire to do the best for mum and
help her accept the support that’s there for her. Staff are all fantastic.
The home itself is light and sunny with a good feel about it. It’s very homely and we’ve always felt very welcome as visitors.

Observed excellent caring response to a fall. This is within the general context that we observe approximately twice a week, of staff who know the residents well and are genuinely caring.

My Mum moved in here in November 2019. She was only in three weeks when she was admitted to hospital. On returning at the end of December Mum has settled in. Staff are great. They have activities for the residents throughout the week. The family are made to feel very welcome.

Wellburn House is a gem of a care home. All the staff are professional, attentive and kind, and go the extra mile to make residents feel cared for and very much at home.
On coming to visit there is a lovely atmosphere and always a warm, friendly welcome. There are several areas to sit with family and
the outlook onto the gardens is beautiful - good for the soul!
I feel very comfortable knowing my mother is being looked after so well and she is very happy here.

To place a parent in a care home is a very difficult decision however, my mam settled in straight away. This is down to a lovely presented home but more importantly, the wonderful staff who are always so very welcoming to visitors at the home too and can't do enough.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The resident has not been the easiest person to deal with during their stay at the home due to dementia issues.
Due to the care given the situation has improved greatly and they continue to provide a caring and professional service.
The home is nice and friendly and is always welcoming when I visit
my friend. It is clean and warm.

I recently changed my Mother's home to Wellburn from another provider. My Mother has settled well and appears happy in her new home. She is cared for well and all staff are respectful and caring when meeting her needs. I have been informed of any issues with her health and wellbeing if they arise. The
admin team are very helpful and always approachable if I have any queries, and can discuss any concerns I may have.

Did not want to admit my husband to a care home but after respite for a few weeks, decided full admission because he was well taken care of.
The staff are very caring and helpful so I was happy he was settled.

Overall, I think that Wellburn House provides my father with very good all round care. The staff are very attentive and if my father requires anything - the staff are only too happy to oblige.

The care provided is what you would hope to expect with kind and caring staff, especially a few particular members of staff.
My dad is a bit of a character and does have the occasional mishap but it's comforting to know that the staff are there taking good care of him aiding his recovery.
I would
recommend Wellburn House with its lovely well cared for gardens to anyone wanting a care home away from the town. Once the refurbishment is complete, it will be first class.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Extremely daunting to have to admit father to a care home, however after visiting, social worker advice and personal recommendation, we decided as a family to admit Dad for a respite stay, which was very successful, and then full admission.


The holistic care has been above and beyond expectation.


The

manager and her team are friendly, professional and offer full wrap around care.


Many thanks.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.825)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.825) out of 10 for Wellburn House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.825 for Wellburn House is calculated as follows: ( (138 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 166 Ratings = 4.825
  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 Wellburn House is based on 14 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 35 registered maximum number of service users is 7, which has been reached with 14 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.
