My mum recently had a two-week stay here for respite care. She settled in very quickly and received very good care. The staff were very kind and helpful. Family visiting always received a warm welcome. Thank you very much for making this such a positive experience. We would not hesitate to use your
care home again.

From the first moment to the last, everyone (staff) have been unbelievable, kind and caring with such understanding of everyone's needs. The care for my neighbour (and I was there most days) was to a level that even I couldn't believe, the staff and management deserve a lot of credit for the way they
go about their daily tasks to ensure patient and visitors are well cared for. Thank you for everything.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My aunt was only in the care home for a short time before she passed away but we could not fault the care and compassion of every member of staff, not only to my aunt but her two sisters aswell. She was only in there a short time but we felt she was well looked after and treated with dignity.
The whole
care home was always clean whenever we visited and the food looked delicious.


Our family would like to thank all of the staff for their kindness.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The staff are excellent with looking after my Dad. They have respected his wish to not have the hoist used to allow him to be in the lounge so that he can remain in his room where he is happy.
The facilities are very good even though he does not use as many as he used to. He enjoys the food and the
chance to watch his own programs on the TV.
The staff ensures that his hygiene is as good as he will allow them.

I was shown round the care home by a very friendly nurse. I found the home to be very homely, caring and extremely clean. The rooms look very comfortable and I like the whole complex. I should imagine my mum would like this home very much.

From the moment I was shown around the home, I felt this would be the place for my elderly relative. The environment was welcoming, clean with a pleasant aroma of home-cooked food. Every member of staff we encountered was caring, knowledgable and keen to listen. My mother was efficiently settled into
her room and the staff quickly learned about her medical conditions. I felt my mother was safe and secure and I had good access. I highly recommend this home.

Our mum came to the Hornchurch Care Home in April 2021 and has been wonderfully cared for by an amazing team of people, from the nurses to the carers, laundry team, cleaners and cooks. We couldn't have asked for more an we would like to thank everyone at the home for the love and care that was given
to Mum. You are all very special people - thank you.

Mum was in the home for palliative care which ended with her passing on 26th January 2024.
Staff and care were efficient and caring.
Any issues were dealt with promptly.
All the family are grateful that Mum's final week was comfortable.

Review from Nicola N (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 February 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
My father had the worst time in this home (I can't even call it a care home).
He has Alzheimer's and his behaviour can be challenging but the home has a dementia unit and assured us they could cope with his needs.
The staff could not cope with his needs.
My father's room was small, ill-equipped and
constantly sticky. He was constantly left for hours on end.
His bed and clothing were frequently soiled and wet.
Within weeks of him arriving here, it was clear that the home could not cope and the staff were completely overwhelmed.
There was incident after incident and nobody was on hand to provide any information.
The management were never available to provide support to us - we were so disappointed.
I recommend anyone to think very carefully before considering this home.
He has now been moved.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.322)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.322) out of 10 for The Hornchurch Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.322 for The Hornchurch Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (158 Excellents x 5) + (94 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (16 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 283 Ratings = 4.322
  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 The Hornchurch Care Home is based on 23 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 55 registered maximum number of service users is 11, which has been reached with 23 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.
