My husband came to Acacia House Nursing Home on the 17th of January. He was very poorly.
I cannot speak highly enough of the excellent care he is receiving. He has settled so well.
The kind and caring staff keep us fully informed of all that is happening.
It is a relaxing pleasure to visit.

My mum settled into Acacia House really well. The staff are kind, caring and attentive, they spend time with Mum chatting, painting her nails and making her feel special. I am reassured that Mum is in very good hands and is receiving high-quality care. The home itself is welcoming, clean and bright
with a homely atmosphere.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum had two stays here with several weeks spent in local hospital following a fall.
The care at Acacia is wonderful. Everyone of the staff is always smiling in what at times is a challenging role. They show the utmost compassion for everyone and always made us welcome whenever we visited which was
often.
Kept us updated at all times and when sadly Mum passed away you could see from the staff expressions that her passing affected them all deeply.
Thank you to everyone involved.

Absolutely satisfied with all aspects of my husband's care. I'm kept well informed of any issues that arise in his care. Everyone I have met in Acacia House has a welcoming, cheery personality. I can't fault the cleanliness of the home in any way either. All in all a lovely place to be for care in later
life. Thanks to you all.

My husband has received excellent care since entering Acacia House, which I cannot fault. I have also been treated with friendliness and understanding for which I have been most grateful. He hasn't been there very long yet (just a couple of months) so I haven't met all of the staff yet, but the few
I have met have all been welcoming and anyone who has phoned me is very courteous and understanding.

Our loved one has been staying at Acacia House Nursing Home for over a year now.
They have received a very good standard of care, with our initial concerns listened too and acted upon.
We cannot praise all the staff enough for their hard work, care and support, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The activities ladies have been so helpful, enabling our loved one to use video calling to chat face to face.
We are happy to recommend Acacia Nursing Home to all those seeking excellent care for their loved one.

When my Mother in Law initially went to Acacia, she was adamant she was not staying. After three weeks of excellent care and being looked after so well she realised that she couldn't manage at home on her own. We have not looked back and can't thank the home enough for their care and dedication.

Such a lovely friendly care home, our relative was so well looked after there, he was only there for a month awaiting a veteran care home as he is only 61. But he had a lovely room and was well cared for, I would be so happy to send an elderly relative to live there.

Review from Anthony S (Husband of Resident) published on 15 October 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the moment my wife moved into Acacia House, I knew that she was in a good home with care that I could not hope to match. There is a constant aura of love, care and humour with genuine concern for the residents, which shows on the faces of both parties. I visit each day for as long as possible and
feel totally at home because I am always greeted with warmth and humour with a brief report of my wife's condition. My reason for distinguishing between people and material things in my assessment is because I believe that personal relationships are the most important factor in our lives and that's abundantly clear in Acacia House. I am truly grateful for the nursing and care given to my wife here in Acacia House. She loves you all. Thank you.

My partner of 40 years has been comfortable and happy at Acacia House. We have found the permanent staff polite, kind and a joy to work with. The attention to detail is much appreciated bearing in mind my partner's disability.
One of the minor hiccups has been experienced but peaks and troughs in
the workload of this type of establishment must be expected.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.190)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.190) out of 10 for Acacia House Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 5 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 4.690 for Acacia House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (40 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 58 Ratings = 4.69
  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 4.5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Acacia House Nursing Home is based on 5 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 = 3.5
    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 25 registered maximum number of service users is 5, which has been reached with 5 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.

Job Title: Registered Manager Joined: 2012

I wanted to share a bit about my journey in the care industry. I have been the registered manager of Acacia House nursing home for 14 years, and for 11 of those years, I also managed a second home. My career in care began in 1997 when I started as a carer in a residential care home. I qualified as a nurse in 2001 and began my career at QA Hospital in Portsmouth. After gaining valuable experience in a hospital setting, I transitioned to become the Registered Manager of a large nursing home in Hampshire. Over the years, I worked hard to develop that home before taking on the role of dual-registered manager for Acacia House and another home in Waterlooville. Currently, I am solely focused on Acacia House, and I am incredibly proud of our small home with a big heart.

Job Title: Deputy Manager Joined: 2015

I have worked in the healthcare industry, which spans both the UK and Romania. When I first moved to the UK, I joined Acacia House as a senior carer while I was waiting for my NMC pin. Since then, I've had the opportunity to work my way up in the organisation. I was fortunate to work under an incredible deputy manager who generously shared her wealth of knowledge and experience with me. After her retirement, I stepped into the role of deputy manager in 2018, and it has been a rewarding experience.
