In all honesty my eldery father couldn't have ended up in a better care home. I have never seen him so happy and the staff are absolutely INCREDIBLE. They are kind, caring, cheerful, supportive and the list goes on.


I am so grateful for them and all the incredible work they do. I couldn't fault

them.

My brother has only been at the home for 3 weeks. I went to visit him for the first time on Friday. I was very impressed by everything. The friendliness of staff, how clean the place was, and most importantly the way they treated him.

My Cousin has been a resident of Priscilla Wakefield House since lockdown, i.e. nearly 5 years.
She is very well cared for and as her health has deteriorated over the years, all her needs have been well catered for.
The Management, Nursing staff, Care staff, Admin, Activities, Maintenance and all
staff needed to run an efficient home are excellent and know my Cousin & myself well. Living at a distance I am particularly grateful for the contact when unable to visit. Should any health problems arise PWH are in contact with the local GP and Hospitals etc in the London area. It is always clean and tidy there, her room is very homely and she enjoys her television & musical events at PWH.
I would certainly recommend Priscilla Wakefield House Nursing Home.

I was pleased to see the set up of PW as each communal area is near staff room.
The reception is welcoming and the staff are very polite and helpful when you ask for help. On the days I visited, nurses are willing to find time for me to respond to any questions that I had. My service user is also happy
to live there, he was one who did not want to move into a care home but I suppose his experience is good and that is the reason he decided not to move.
Thank you PW staff and management.

My mother has been residing at the home since July 2023. There were challenges that we faced with caring issues, due to my mother' challenging behaviour and not willing to accept help from the staff. This improved over time as she got to know the staff and bonded with some staff members. The current
issues that needs addressing concerns personal care regarding her hair. I have to ask for her hair to be washed. There is no regular plan in place for when her hair should be washed. Mum uses hearing aids and the agreement with the nurse was the hearing aids would be used, if mum allowed them to put them in, when she has visitors, but this does not happen. There has also been moving around of staff. No information given to family members of these changes. The staff members she had the most bond with and the family had good relationships with were moved. Not sure of if consideration was given to the impact on the residents by this action. I think this is down to poor management.

We have been extremely pleased with Dad's overall care at Priscilla Wakefield House. In particular, the staff are fantastic. Dad is treated with care and respect and the staff seem genuinely fond of him (and him of them). The home is always warm and welcoming and Dad is physically well taken care of
and presentable.
One slight concern is ensuring he is drinking enough fluids throughout the day, as he doesn't always remember to do so himself (and cannot always reach the cup). But overall, we are very pleased with the service provided in the home.

Experience is ok, room always clean and tidy, the staff are ok but some of the staff are very friendly and a few of them are rude. He is disabled but mentally he is fine, when he tells me they do like that it really hurts. Some of them are very good they treat him very nicely.

Overall the staff have been beyond good in being consistent in the care the give to my aunt who is quite difficult.
They are quite friendly and helpful.
I feel management should be more visible since visiting my auntie I do not have a clue who is in charge; this is not micro-management; it would be
nice to see them coming in and saying hello.
My auntie's room is far too dull and gloomy for a long-term redident.
More can be done in mental stimulation getting my auntie out of her room to engage.
I am thankful but more can and should be done from management level.

It’s funny how most of the reviews are positive, but to each their own.
I’ve visited this care home numerous times and made comparisons. The ones that wear burgundy uniforms are quite fake or pretensive, the ones in the blue uniforms do their very best to deliver quality care. I must give a round
of applause to all carers because that work is not an easy walk in the park. I’ve also tasted the food myself, sometimes it’s bland other times it’s too salty, which can be improved. Overall, the care home needs to recognise all efforts made by the carers. They are truly the unsound heroes!

Since my mum has been in the care of Priscilla Wakefield House. She has gained weight, has all her needs met and staff treat her with kindness and care and make sure she is comfortable and happy. As her daughter, I truly appreciate everything that has been done for her. I myself come 5 days a week and
see first hand how hard the staff work and how caring they are.

We bring the holy communication every week and noticed how it changed the person visited. This is our experience of Priscilla Wakefield House is a real home away from home. The atmosphere is welcoming, the staff are very kind patient and always ready to help and answer any questions. The residents live
relatively independent lives and have very good meals. There are programs to maintain good well-being and morale.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.552)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.552) out of 10 for Priscilla Wakefield House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 37 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 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 4.552 for Priscilla Wakefield House is calculated as follows: ( (265 Excellents x 5) + (126 Goods x 4) + (25 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 420 Ratings = 4.552

  • 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 Priscilla Wakefield House is based on 36 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 117 registered maximum number of service users is 23.4, which has been reached with 36 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.
