* Care Quality Commission is responsible for the registration and inspection of social care services in England.
The Review Score of 9.2 (maximum of 10) for Abbotsleigh Mews Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 25 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Abbotsleigh Mews Care Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 12 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.663 for Abbotsleigh Mews Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (217 Excellents x 5) + (62 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 297 Ratings = 4.663
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 4.5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Abbotsleigh Mews Care Home is based on 12 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 24 positive Reviews (120 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 12 Reviews ÷ 24 Target = 0.500
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Abbotsleigh Mews Care Home has a Review Score of 9.2 (9.163) from 25 Reviews
Review submitted from a Postal Card by B T (Brother of Resident) on Tuesday 15 May 2018. Relates to April 2018.
The staff at Abbotsleigh Mews Care Home looked after my brother. During his stay, they were all incredibly professional and made my brothers final weeks so peaceful.
Excellent care is not enough, they should be very proud of their work.
This refers to the special efforts provided by the residential care unit at Smythe House.

Review submitted from a Scanned Printed Card by Julie O (Daughter of Resident) on Tuesday 15 May 2018. Relates to February 2018.
My mother was thankfully moved into Abbotsleigh Mews in December 2014. From the start, we as a family knew that she was in the right place for her. She has dementia and was wheelchair bound. She has always loved people around her and the Abbotsleigh Mews staff proved to be wonderful to her. From the general manager to the cleaning ladies she was always treated so kindly. When sadly she passed away the nurses and carers couldn't have been more supportive to myself and my husband. Doctors said that she probably not make it through the night so we started to sort out a hotel nearby, to be near, just in case. The ladies of Abbotsleigh Mews wouldn't hear of it and proceeded to give us a room for the night and fed us as well.
We couldn't praise Abbotsleigh Mews high enough. It was a terrible time for myself and my family but the generosity and care provided by the home helped us enormously. Thank you.

My aunt was recovering from an infection that had adversely affected her Alzheimers. The care from the staff was excellent and greatly appreciated by my aunt. She said the food was great.
The patience shown by the staff did a lot to reassure my aunt when her dementia/confusion was at it's worst.

My father spent one week in Smythe House for respite care. The staff were amazing, so kind, caring and efficient. Smythe House is quiet and super clean. The team leaders efficient and lead by example. As a result of the super care, my 93 year old Father is now back in his own home coping on his own. Thank you.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Jan N (Daughter of Resident) on Monday 30 April 2018. Relates to April 2018.
Both my parents were in Abbotsleigh Mews (my mother still lives in the Dementia Nursing Unit). My father moved into one of their Residential Units last June and was very happy there. Unfortunately, he became ill and was admitted to hospital in February. When the doctors told us there was nothing they could do for him, we moved him back into a nursing bed at the home. Sadly my father passed away recently but the care he received during his last few weeks was wonderful.
The staff were very supportive of both him and us family members (hugs were offered when needed) and we could not have asked for better. In the end, we were with him and the staff on duty were amazing - they supported us with information and welcome cups of tea and allowed him to have a dignified end to his 97 and a half years of good life.

This is a very well run care home. All the staff were extremely friendly and offered their time to look after the residents and their family. Everyone involved with my mother who visited this care home remarked that this was a very good care home. The accessibility being able to visit my mother at any time except meal times was great and put me at ease. There was a high level of cleanliness. The staff are not doing an easy job and with long hours - 12-hour shifts - their approach to the job is excellent, always pleased to interact with a smile. Keep up the good work!

A lovely purpose built home, very attractive, with beautiful gardens. Staff are very attentive and professional and take the time to be 'kind' to all residents. There is a good range of activities on offer, both in the home and on arranged trips. Management are very helpful and considerate and have accommodated Dad's needs. Overall a very happy, homely place to be.

Lovely building and surroundings, few teething problems finally resolved.
Care varies from day to day with staff shortages at times. Most staff are friendly and competent.
Two activities we have been to were very enjoyable for residents and relatives.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Hamilton B (Relative of Resident) on Tuesday 8 August 2017. Relates to July 2017.
I have occasion to visit Abbotsleigh Mews Care Home two or three times weekly in order to visit an elderly relative (Nan) 93 years of age. She has been at Smythe House for two years, during which time her general health has improved and her mental health has remained stable due to the great care and attention she receives from the management and staff at Smythe House. She is so comfortable there, and her favourite saying is "I'm very well fed, very well watered and so very well looked after here, it's my home and I couldn't be happier". On a personal note, I have found Smythe House to be a very happy place where the residents are treated with care and dignity at all times; it's so refreshingly clean and it's a pleasure to visit this house where the visitors are treated respectfully and made welcome, it's just like one big happy family. Thank you, Abbotsleigh Mews, and thank you Smythe House for looking after and caring for our Nan so very well.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by M K (Son of Resident) on Friday 23 June 2017. Relates to June 2017.
Dad has been a resident of Calvin House for the past four years. The continuity of staff has played a major part in the excellent care that he has received. Dad is always treated, with dignity and respect, as the person that he is, rather than the condition that he has. The range of activities organised, provides regular stimulation of body and mind. Any incident, or concern for his health and wellbeing, is immediately shared and discussed with me. This gives me great peace of mind. I am always made to feel welcome when I drop by - a real home-from-home environment. Efforts are continuously made by the team to improve this homely feel; e.g. making the resident's bedroom doors look like street doors (each with an individual look). From manager to gardener, senior supervisor to cleaner - they all work as a team to maintain excellent care for the residents.

My grandmother has been resident at Abbotsleigh Mews for the past 2 years. She is happy and settled. Staff are kind, caring and treat her with dignity and respect. She is encouraged to participate in activities and staff are aware of her likes and dislikes. They are always welcoming to relatives and involve us in decisions concerning my grandmother's care. I can relax knowing that she is in good hands.

My mother receives the most wonderful care. Staff always have time for my mother (and the other residents too!) whether it is to help her with personal care, her comfort, eating, drinking or simply a cuddle and reassurance. My mother is able to retain her independence albeit she does not have a lot left and can choose what she does and when. The staff keep me informed of any changes in her health or well-being, and treat us like family when we visit. Cannot praise the staff highly enough.

When my uncle first came to this care home he could not feed himself, walk or make any conversation but within a few weeks, the transformation was amazing. He could drink from a cup himself, his eyes sparked again, with the help of a frame he could do small steps. The staff are all very caring and attentive and the proof was there for us all to see.

Bevan House undergoing refurbishment caused staff so much extra work where at one time residents had to spend time in their rooms - causing staff to visit on lots more occasions.
The care my husband has been given was still carried out and meals though difficult were as normal as were drinks and activities, still done as far as possible - rooms cleaned and free from dust.
I can only offer praise for the staff and the caring in this unit, second to none.

The care my father received in the dementia unit and later in the nursing unit was outstanding. The skill patience and humour with which the nurses and carers treated my father was wonderful. They did everything they could to make his final 18 months as comfortable and as normal as possible. He always had everything he needed and in his words "they treat me like a king". It was important to me to find a care home that would suit his personality. I certainly found it in Abbotsleigh Mews.

The loving support the staff offer my father is second to none. The senior carer in Calvin House takes so much time to update my father with Crystal Palace football achievements, which was so important to him in the past. Her husband too is a lifelong supporter. (Poor man).
The other wonderful carer is the deputy team leader who's endless care makes my father smile and laugh as she talks to him about is past adventurous life. The team leader creates a smooth and dignified home where residents are given so much time and care.

My review as a relative is regarding nursing care over the past year. The nursing staff seem dedicated to the residents at this nursing care unit. The care residents receive is dependent on sufficient staff being available at the times and the number of hoists available.
Most staff treat the residents in a dignified way.

Since being admitted to lovely Abbotsleigh Mews Care Home (Smythe House) the improvement in my mother's health has been remarkable, overnight the smile of happiness and contentment returned to her lovely face and she was more like the wonderful mother my family and I were used to. Previously she was really unwell, agitated and very confused but in no time at all her mental, and indeed her physical health, improved beyond recognition, due to the wonderful care and attention shown by the staff and care like the workers at Smythe House.
My mother is treated with love, tenderness and personal care from all staff, albeit daytime or night time, she is treated with such kindness and compassion, almost as if she were at home with her own family.
Due to the wonderful care she receives my mother is so happy at Smythe House and has come to accept that it is now her home, this comes as a great relief to my family and I, knowing that a wonderful mother, grandmother and great-grandmother is so contented.
I would like to thank Abbotsleigh Mews not only for the way my mother is looked after but for the way the staff, greet and welcome us, on our very many visits to mum, we are made to feel part of your big and happy family at Abbotsleigh Mews Care Home.

My grandmother has been in Abbotsleigh Mews Care Home a week and a half but I have visited every day - sometimes twice. There is an open door policy that you can visit when you like. The staff and even office staff are wonderful and kind and can't do enough for my nan and us as a family. She is exceptionally well cared for and I'd be happy to be a resident there! If it's expensive it doesn't matter to me. It's the care of my relative that matters, her health and happiness and I can sleep well at night and not worry.

As shown below my experience has been excellent, especially in regards to the staff, who really do care for the residents. I have no negatives - but I would be less than honest if I did not react to the costs, which on the face of it, do appear exorbitant. Otherwise, I have only sincere praise for everyone concerned. Many thanks.
