Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My father spent 19 months in Laurel and was looked after very well by the staff and management. Everyone was very kind and showed patience and respect him at all times. They were also very friendly and considerate to other family members when they visited. I was kept informed of any changes regarding
my Dad's health throughout his stay. I was particularly impressed with the care and kindness shown to us when Dad received End of Life care during his last week. We were given much support at a very difficult time. Thank you to all at Laurel!

Review from Lynne C (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 August 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Being an only child, the care of my mother was very important. Towards the later years of Mum's life, her health became poor and everyday life and myself. The Laurel Care Home took all our needs into consideration, Mum's and mine. The total care package was amazing. Genuine kindness from every member
of the Laurels team. Mum needed the most intimate of personal care. This was always achieved with dignity. There was complete freedom to go from every are of the home. Full of appropriate fun and laughter. Excellent food and treats.

Review from George P (Husband of Resident) published on 5 June 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
This is the third care home my wife has been resident in since January 2013. She is suffering with vascular dementia, which progressed to the point, in November 2017, where she needed the sort of care provided by Laurel. She can do nothing for herself and I find that the high standard of service provided
by Laurel for my wife is essential. The staff and management do their utmost to make life as pleasant as possible for the resident and always respect the wishes of the family.

Review from Kevin S (Son of Resident) published on 3 June 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
This is a home situated within easy reach for people using public transport with some well cared for gardens for the use of the residents.


The home is well run by some excellent staff who treated my late mother with the utmost dignity in her time at the home. The staff from all departments, kitchen,

cleaning, laundry and nursing appear to make it their job to know the residents and the relatives. They are friendly and all appeared happy in their working environment. The nursing staff are professional competent people who will always make time for you if you have questions. Always a good and varied menu from the kitchen, the place is clean and overall in a good state of repair.


I would recommend this home.

Quiet location, extensive grounds/gardens, easy car parking, close to Southampton and the motorway.
Lovely well-appointed rooms (mine has a perfect view into the grounds to watch birds on the bird table.
Very friendly kind and attentive staff. Excellent facilities with TV lounges, library and sheltered
balconies.
Separate restaurant with excellent menu. (Sadly my medical condition means I can't enjoy everything here!)
Highly recommended!,

Review from David Y (Son of Resident) published on 19 January 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The home is welcoming - staff are friendly and genuinely caring, always happy to talk and know their patients (and after a short time) relatives by name.
Discussions are never hurried or defensive with nurses happy to talk through medical details and care plans in detail.
There is a high staff ratio
- consequently, the workers are not overstretched and provide a consistently good standard of care
The facilities: kitchen, laundry, recreational, etc are good and building maintenance and improvements are constantly undertaken.
My father soon became comfortable and settled after admission and received very good palliative care (and thus avoided transfer to hospital) at the end.
In conjunction with my partner (who has professional experience in care home evaluation), I visited a dozen care homes in South Hampshire. The Laurels was by far the best.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have found Laurel Care Home to be of excellent standards in all aspects. The highest care whether it be nursing or carers, the food is excellent so is the cleaning. The activities are all good for those able to partake. All of the staff are approachable and whenever I visit which is often they all
have a friendly word and smile. I have only praise and would thoroughly recommend this nursing home.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.058)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.058) out of 10 for Laurel Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 6 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 4.958 for Laurel Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (68 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 71 Ratings = 4.958
  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 4.1 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Laurel Care Home is based on 6 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 = 3.6
    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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.5
  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.
