Review from Alison C (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 September 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mum recently spent a few weeks here for respite and I feel she received excellent care and support.
She was welcomed by all members of staff on arrival and staff took time to go through all our concerns with them. I was happy leaving her there as I felt confident all her needs were going to be met.
During
her stay, she had a few trips out and whenever I phoned staff liaised well with me.

We were delighted that my aunt has settled so well in the care home. The staff are so caring and efficient and were genuinely helpful and kind towards the residents. It is very reassuring for the families of the residents that the people are happy and settled in a very happy and caring environment.

This is my second visit and it was just as good as my last visit. The staff are very polite, conscientious, very caring.
The food excellent always well presented a different variety. The home itself is well presented just like being at home. There is a variety of activities for residents throughout
the week to do. Enjoyed the karaoke with the other residents. The care and support was excellent during my stay.

Found Arthur Jenkins very accommodating as I was struggling to find respite for my husband and as they don't normally do respite as it is residential, they were very kind in helping me out with this. I am very grateful to them for this.

We were welcomed on our first visit. The staff are all very friendly. We are amazed at the amount of activities that are organised, there is always something going on.
The place is always very clean, as is the person we visit.
We've visited a few care homes in the past but this is by far the best.

Review from Carol J (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 May 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mam settled into Arthur Jenkins straight away. With their smiles, kindness and patience projected from the get-go.
The staff are amazing, constantly there on standby ready to help, if any falls/needs etc.
Daily activities are wonderful, from exercises, singing, singers, planting children drawings
and alpacas, “oh yes wowee” what a week she had.
The food she enjoyed and the whole experience was fabulous, she had a wonderful holiday. If you needed anything you only had to ask.
I gave 5 stars because I had a very happy mother to pick up and bring home.
Huge thank you to the manager and all your staff at Arthur Jenkins. See you next time.
Love from all the family.

The staff at Arthur Jenkins Care Home were excellent and made Mum and I very welcome, nothing was too much trouble. Mum stayed for 2 weeks of respite and enjoyed the activities and trip out. It was the most positive experience Mum has had of respite since her decreased mobility meant a loss of independence.
She was treated with warmth and consideration and I enjoyed peace of mind that she was well looked after.

A lovely, warm, caring environment. The staff really care! The limitations of the building and lack of en-suite facilities are the only negatives.

From the minute you walk in the door, the Arthur Jenkins home in Blaenavon is warm and welcoming. The manager and her fantastic team cannot do enough to help to make Mam, and all her visitors, feel comfortable and relaxed.
The home is now beautifully decorated for Christmas and there are loads of Christmas-related
activities going on.
It's always a pleasure to visit Mam there and even more wonderful to be able to share the experiences of all the activities on offer with her.
Mam is happy and content there and that gives us peace of mind. We feel comfortable asking questions and everyone goes out of their way to give us clear answers.
Fabulous teamwork and caring - everyone goes above and beyond!

Amazing staff, mostly locals. The cook catered for my Coeliac (gluten-free) brilliantly. Nothing was too much trouble. Looked after well. The only downside, the room could have been warmer.

I live abroad so only get to visit once a year. I would describe the facility as excellent with the care that Mum received second to none. Interaction between staff and residents is great. Mum is happy which is all we could wish for. Please keep up the great work.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.740)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.740) out of 10 for Arthur Jenkins Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.740 for Arthur Jenkins Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (179 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 231 Ratings = 4.74
  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 Arthur Jenkins Residential Home is based on 20 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 29 registered maximum number of service users is 5.8, which has been reached with 20 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.
