Having a lovely time at the 80's theme in Abermill Care Home. Residents all were involved with singing and dancing if able with help. The staff have all played their part in organising such a fab afternoon. Well done all!

My wife and I have been visiting our friend at Abermill Care Home on a roughly fortnightly basis for the past three years. We have, invariably, found her to be comfortable and content in her surroundings. We have always found the staff to be welcoming, friendly and attentive to both residents and visitors
alike. All in all a credit to the care industry.

At first, I was anxious/nervous for my grandmother to reside in a care home, but Abermill have put my worries to rest. The staff are brilliant, caring and incredibly supportive. The entertainment for all residents is also enjoyable and family days are a great way of getting fully involved.
Abermill
have taken brilliant care of my nan and we couldn't have picked a better care home.

A warm and friendly home with wonderful staff. My nan's mental and physical health has improved drastically during her time here. She has made some great friends, thoroughly enjoys all of the activities and loves all the beautiful meals. I honestly haven't seen her this settled and happy in a long time.
We are all so grateful for everything and everyone at Abermill. Thank you.

Visited my brother on several occasions, found staff to be friendly, informative and polite. Brother appeared clean and well cared for and he seemed to have a good rapport with the staff. Have not seen his room as we have always sat in the dining room with him. Could not comment on the quality/variety
of food as never visited at mealtimes. Seems that there are a variety of activities planned for residents, including trips out and visits from entertainers. Staff engage with residents and seem very caring.

My general review is. The outstanding work and resident care of all the staff is 'Top Drawer'. Nothing is too much for them. I am fully happy and content in knowing my mother-in-law is being given the very best care available. Everything that the carers do, is geared for the well-being of all the residents.
I cannot praise these wonderful people enough. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Since Mum has been taken into care due to her being abused by her partner and having Alzheimer's disease, it was only meant to be temporary emergency care. I'm so pleased with how she has improved mentally and physically. She has settled into Abermill and has been living there for three years and over.
I can't find any fault at Ambermill and am very pleased with all care Mum receives. She's improved 100% from what she was like living with her partner, who suffered abuse for 30 years.

My grandad is a resident at Abermill Care Home, and I must say, I am so glad we chose this care home for him. He receives excellent care, and the staff have made him feel very welcome. Every time we visit my grandad, the staff are very attentive, thoughtful and kind, and they take time to really listen
to you my grandad, which is very important. We never feel as if his wishes are not being met.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.810)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.810) out of 10 for Abermill Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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 4.810 for Abermill Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (351 Excellents x 5) + (50 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 415 Ratings = 4.81

  • 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 Abermill Care Home is based on 35 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 38 registered maximum number of service users is 7.6, which has been reached with 35 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.

Christine Tipper

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2001

What does ‘kindness’ mean to you?


“Kind care means getting to know people and understanding their emotions, making every effort to offer the best possible care, and getting Residents involved in the activities that make them happiest.”


Christine started working at Abermill in 2001, and later progressed to Home Manager level after excelling in her role as Deputy Manager at the home. She has gained experience in a number of different care services, including residential and memory care, and has achieved qualifications in health and social services, management and care.


Christine closely shares HC-One’s vision in aiming to provide the kindest care for every Resident. She extends this caring approach to her Colleagues and works closely with them to deliver care and support to Residents in a way that means they gain the most benefit, in a warm and welcoming home.


When asked what she enjoys the most about her role, Christine remarked: “I enjoy taking time to interact with Residents and their Relatives, which allows me to get to know each individual on a personal level.”


Christine credits her biggest achievement as completing a 3km sponsored walk, raising more than £400 for Alzheimer’s Society with the support from her Colleagues and Residents.


Outside of work, Christine enjoys spending quality time with her loved ones, including watching her niece and nephew play rugby.
