Review from Jeffrey A (Son of Resident) published on 16 January 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father was transferred from the hospital to Lewin House just before his 90th birthday. The care and attention shown by all the staff was amazing. He was not with them long as he passed away shortly before Christmas but the home made sure he and my mother were kept comfortable calling out the doctor
to him many times. I'm very thankful he spent his last days at Lewin House and not the hospital.

Overall, the care at Lewin House is good, they do from time to time have issues with being understaffed - this can result in no supervision in the dining room for residents, who need to be supervised when eating, which can cause concern. There have been a number of times that the dishwasher is out of
use, this causes concern as the hot water is not hot enough to wash dishes and could lead to cross-contamination from one resident to another. I was there yesterday and washed the dishes myself due to staff shortage.
There are sometimes shortages of towels, bed linen etc and even pads from time to time. The permanent staff work hard to overcome these issues when really they should be addressed by management and resolved before it becomes an issue.
However, as I say the care is generally good and they try to understand each residents needs and work with the family. Overall, we are happy with Dads care and treatment at Lewin House.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Lewin House is a wonderful home. The care that my mother receives is excellent.
She has late stages Alzheimers and is very confused and not happy in herself. The care staff are all very caring and kind, even when she becomes aggressive and very rude. Since she became a resident at Lewin House in July
2016, she has been very well cared for.

Review from Camilla H (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 April 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Sadly, both Mum and Dad needed to go to a care home for the last part of their lives. Mum had Vascular Dementia and Dad required 24-hour nursing care. As a family used to caring for Mum and Dad ourselves, it was the most traumatic time of our lives.


We received the warmest welcome at Lewin House.

Even though Mum and Dad's requirements were different, the staff managed to get Mum and Dad into rooms next to each other and spent every day making sure they got to see each other.


They were encouraged to take part in lots of activities, they were absolutely brilliant, from singing to quizzes to exotic fruit tasting. Mum and Dad loved these and they loved the care workers and nurses at Lewin House that helped look after them.


Sadly, Mum and Dad both passed away within a short time of each other, both were supported through their end of life with the utmost care, compassion and dignity.


We will never forget the kindness they have shown to us all. Thank you to all of you, we won't forget you.

Review from Janet H (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 March 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident of Lewin House for over 3 years now and I have been very happy with her care. The staff are genuinely caring people, the facilities are good, the care is good and medical needs are met, the food is appropriate for the elderly. The residents are treated with dignity.
Lewin House is run by the not for profit Fremantle Trust - another plus in my opinion as it is all about the residents not the money, which is not always the case in other homes.


For anyone looking for a care home for their loved one, I would highly recommend Lewin House. Don't be put off by the location as it really doesn't matter to the residents. Once inside the doors, it is a safe haven and caring place.

Mum has spent 6 weeks in respite at Lewin House and now has a permanent place which we as a family are very happy with. The staff are absolutely brilliant so kind and caring and really look after Mum exceptionally well. As a family we are happy with the care Mum is receiving we could not have asked
for better such a relief to know she is in the best care. The rooms are lovely and spacious and very very clean, we can visit any time and the staff are so welcoming its a real pleasure to visit. All together a really nice place can recommend without reserve.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.885)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.885) out of 10 for Lewin House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.885 for Lewin House is calculated as follows: ( (195 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 218 Ratings = 4.885
  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 Lewin House is based on 19 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14, which has been reached with 19 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.
