Mother has only been in The Hornchurch for a few months but seems to have settled fairly well. Any minor issues have been dealt with efficiently. The manager and staff seem very approachable and caring. Mum is usually clean and happy. The food is good with choices offered each day. Sometimes Mum gets
bored as cannot take herself to chat with other residents if staff busy.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum came here initially for respite care after being in hospital for 10 days. Until then, she had been an independent 90 year-old doing everything for herself in her first floor flat. She liked Hornchurch Care Home so much she's decided to stay for good. This was almost entirely due to the professionalism,
attitude, kindness of all the staff from the manager down. They are all fantastic people.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have been well treated and am warm and comfortable in the home. The food is good. The entertainment schedule is very entertaining. The staff are kind and caring, most of them. Sometimes there is a delay in the answering of the bell, especially at night. The hairdresser and chiropodist come regularly.
I feel my care is good.

I am delighted with the care my Mother has received since becoming a resident here. She started with respite care after a spell in hospital and has enjoyed being looked after so much that she has decided to stay.
The staff are wonderful, genuine people and there are plenty of activities to keep Mum
occupied. Well done everyone!

I have found the Hornchurch Care Home to be a very welcoming warm and friendly establishment, clean and colourful. My wife, being an Alzheimer's patient, is treated with great care and dignity by all the staff and management, sometimes in very trying situations. Nursing staff and carers take a friendly
and light-hearted family approach to their work and always make us feel welcome.

Mum has been in the home for 5 yrs. As a family, we are very happy with the level of care. Any problems are addressed immediately. Mum has a problem with communication, the carers treat her with respect and are very patient working out what she wants.

Our experience has been very positive knowing mum has good carers looking after her, treating her with respect while at the same time being very friendly and caring. The management and admin staff have dealt with any issues in a helpful way. (There haven't been many issues) The food is very good and
has helped mum back to good health.

My mother was only at the home for a few months, going straight there from the hospital.
During those months she was very well cared for by all the staff.
In her own words, she was very content.
We also found the staff friendly and accommodating.

I come in every day and on the whole, I have no cause to complain. The carers are very good and if you ask one day to do something it has always been done the next day.


My aunt has been in here for 4 1/2 years and although she is unable to do anything and is in bed full time. She always seems happy.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.474)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.474) 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 4.5 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.474 for The Hornchurch Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (149 Excellents x 5) + (81 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 249 Ratings = 4.474
  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 21 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 21 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.
