Our family is so pleased with how quickly Mum has settled at Colbury House Nursing Home. The kindness from the staff extends to the family as well as to Mum - for which we are very grateful. The atmosphere here is a very happy one.

From the moment we arrived with Mum, the staff, from management, carers, chef, maintenance and cleaners, were kind, helpful and warm. This kind and considerate manner has not changed to the present day. Family have been welcomed, and great-grandchildren are happy and have actually enjoyed visits; that's
an amazing recommendation for Colbury House. Thank you to everyone.

Well all I can say is that I have so much respect for everyone who works there. My mum went in back in February 2021 and she is truly happy there. They care for her so well that it takes so much worry off us as a family. Keep up the great work.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Colbury House have been very welcoming and accommodating to my father, he has received amazing care and before his illness deteriorated he was very happy, Dad is now very well cared for from the confines of his bed. The staff are all very friendly and it all feels like a tight community. I receive regular
updates and am usually contacted straight away if there are any issues. The home is very clean and the food looks and smells amazing. I would happily be a resident here myself if I could.

Review from Ann C (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 June 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother was admitted to Colbury House in 2019 due to dementia and physical disability. The team were welcoming and friendly. The home is spacious and in beautiful countryside with nice views from the garden.
All the staff are professional and help in every way with her care. She appreciates the help
she is getting.
I was pleased when Mum was moved to a ground floor room with a door going out to the patio.
Pre-Covid she joined in with activities, which we both enjoyed. I now see her once a week and I am updated on her health and well-being. I would recommend Colbury House and say a very big thank you to all the hard-working staff.

I have nothing but praise and respect for the carers and staff that look after my father. They provide excellent care and support and always keep me updated. Their professionalism is second to none. They not only look after my father but provide him with their time and patience as he has two types of
Alzheimer's, which is difficult. They are professional in the way they manage their communication, payments etc.
I could not say enough positive feedback about the staff. Thank you.

Review from J B (Power of Attorney of Resident) published on 18 June 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We have a distant relative who was admitted to Colbury House at very short notice after five weeks in the hospital over the Christmas period. The management, qualified nursing staff and house staff played a major part in healing him to settle in, despite his poor health and mental condition. Having
lived all of his adult life on his own, now 90, he has naturally become very set in his ways and does not mix in with others readily. So his own suite of rooms suites him. Unfortunately, a chest infection necessitates his admittance to the hospital at the end of February. He seemed to be improving when he injected some fluid into his lungs and spent three nights in intensive care. Before returning to Colbury House a week later, this followed by Coronavirus and the extended period of lockdown life has been difficult, but Colbury staff are coping well.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I chose this care home for my aunt after viewing six and removing her from one where she was not flourishing. The Manager was welcoming and knowledgeable, with the caring ethic I wanted. The home is airy, light and has pleasant rooms, with lovely spacious view of open land and gardens. Those residents
who were able were stimulated and content. My aunt, who needs constant help, was cared for with compassion and expertise.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.834)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.834) out of 10 for Colbury House Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.834 for Colbury House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (168 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 199 Ratings = 4.834
  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 Colbury House Nursing Home is based on 17 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 58 registered maximum number of service users is 11.6, which has been reached with 17 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.
