My mother has been at Northcott for 2 1/2 years and in that time she has been cared for with patience and understanding and we will always be appreciative of the kindness and compassion shown especially in the last few weeks before her passing.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Everywhere was very neat and tidy and smelled fresh and clean. Mum's room was very clean and tidy. The new portable indoor chair is much better than a wheelchair. We had pre-booked the 'Dining Room' and we valued the care that the carer working the morning had laid up the table beautifully for our lunch.
It all felt calm and all staff greeted us warmly as we walked past.

Our father was admitted very recently and in the short time he has been at Northcott House Residential Care and Nursing Home, I have been touched at the care and kindness he has received from all the staff here. Everyone has made dad and the family welcome and nothing is too much trouble. Thank you
to you all!

My husband is being well looked after in Northcott House Residential Care and Nursing Home, and all his needs are met. The staff are kind and helpful and available. He can do as he wishes and most days he is happy to be taken into the spacious lounge to take part in a quiz. His room is nice and comfortable
and I can visit any time, and join him for lunch frequently, which is home cooking. I have peace of mind, knowing that he is contented.

What a lovely bunch of people at Northcott House. My mother wasn't with them for long, unfortunately, but she was treated with dignity and respect even after passing away. Everybody that I came across, from the manager to the cleaners, were all very friendly and helpful and after Mum passed away I was
treated with compassion and was not made to rush to empty the room. Can not fault Northcott and would love to say a big thank you to all the staff mum may not have been with you for long, but it was a comfort to know she was being cared for in her last days.

My wife has been a resident at Northcott House for 19 months. In that time I have seen a number of changes in the running of the home. It is now a warm and comfortable home with very good staff and facilities. There had been an issue with the lunchtime food not being as hot as it should have been. Thanks
to the management team of three particular staff members, the dining room is now very well organised and the food is hot and plentiful. Well done to all concerned.

My Mum has been at Northcott House for 2 years and 9 months. Earlier this year new management came on board at the home and everything has improved so much. The home is beautifully clean in the rooms and the communal areas. The gardens are kept so well and is a lovely setting to sit outside and spend
time with Mum. The staff are so friendly and always smiling, they look after my Mum so well and I am so grateful for all that they do, this includes all the staff that work at the home, not just the wonderful carers.
The activities staff are full of care and enthusiasm and organise lots of great activities for the residents, including taking them out for lunches and other events, which is really beneficial for my Mum.
I feel so happy knowing Mum is safe and being cared for well. Thank you to this recent management for making such fabulous improvements.

Northcott House is based in a very pleasant quiet area In Alverstoke.
It has a beautiful area out front which is spacious and also well-protected.
The garden is lovely as are the lounges, game room I noticed with a smaller pool table, conservatory and Dining room which reminds me of Pebbles at Stokes
Bay.
My dad arrived at Northcott House in May.
Dad was made to feel welcome as soon as he arrived, he has since changed rooms with a garden view and when I asked if this was possible at any point it was met without hesitation.
The staff are so friendly and polite and tend to my dad brilliantly, you are made to feel welcomed also.
Nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff from the manager, care workers, maintenance, catering and activities.
I feel much happier now I know my dad has started to come out of his shell and is well looked after and that is down to the staff, who often take him on walks which he loves.
I am so appreciative of all they do for Dad.

All staff are happy and obliging. Mum is very happy with her room, staff and food, but things are now improving in all areas, especially delivering her food hotter than it was. Any issues raised are addressed very efficiently by management.

During the 20 months or so my husband was resident in Northcott House. He was treated with kindness, gentleness, respect, dignity and patience. He was not always the easiest resident due to his illness. I could visit at any time and was always made welcome by the carers and other staff who always had
a smile. I was phoned if anything was amiss, likewise if he had a particularly good day. If I have a question about the care at any time it was dealt with quickly and rectified. I believe my husband was happy at Northcott as was I. Northcott stuck me as a happy and friendly home.

My mother chose this home herself after visiting various others. She is well cared for in every aspect, she is happy and feels secure. We find the staff very kind and helpful and nothing is too much trouble for them. The home is clean, tidy with lots to stimulate the residents if they want to join in.
If we have a problem with any aspect of Mum's care, it is swiftly dealt with.

Northcott House is located in a lovely quiet area with a nice open space/green and it also has a garden.
It has a very homely atmosphere and everyone is very friendly. All the staff who work at Northcott make you feel welcome and are always happy to see you.
From day one Dad was treated with kindness
and respect and he settled in well. The care he receives has been fantastic. The carers nurses entertainment staff and management all look after Dad. And we are always kept informed with anything and we can always ask if we have any questions.
Dad has enjoyed his food and he has been eating very well. They have a lovely big dining room and conservatory. All the kitchen staff are lovely and work very hard. Everyone who works at Northcott including laundry and maintenance and admin are always friendly and polite and helpful.
We are pleased that Dad has settled and that he is being cared for well.

My dad has been at Northcott since early 2024 and we as a family are very pleased with the care and compassion shown to him each day. The care and nursing team engage with my dad with his humour and wit and nothing is too much trouble. His room is kept clean and his needs are met with empathy and understanding.
Thank you to all the team at Northcott.

Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
My Mother was not treated with the respect that she deserved. Some of the staff were brilliant and really helped and really cared, whilst others could not have cared less. Her needs were not met satisfactorily. The management lacked basic compassion, they did not listen to any concerns or worries that
we raised with them. The management was cold and unfeeling. We as a family found some of their behaviour very offensive. All in all it's a care home that we would not recommend. The management team were good at treating the relatives of the residents with contempt.

Dreadful place. Poor communication. The management team are appalling. They have no understanding of treating patients with dementia with any dignity or respect. The standard of care was poor. Management is very good at covering up their errors.

Thank you all for your kindness and care looking after my wife, especially the last weeks and for the care and love you gave my wife whilst she was with you. My wife could not have been looked after better and we really appreciated all the care you gave her. It has been a difficult time for the family
but made much easier knowing she was in the best of hands with everything she needed and that she was happy. That has made such a difference to us. Once again thank you all, we hope you all realise how invaluable you all are and what a difference you make to people's lives by doing what you do.

My friend is always treated with the utmost courtesy and dignity and her care is tailored to her needs and personal likes and dislikes as much as possible. All the staff are very kind and approachable, and any issues raised with senior nursing staff and management are responded to sympathetically and
resolved in a timely manner. I enjoy visiting my friend and am always made very welcome by all the warm and friendly staff, and it is a warmth that permeates all areas of the home.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.415)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.415) out of 10 for Northcott House Residential Care and Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.415 for Northcott House Residential Care and Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (99 Excellents x 5) + (68 Goods x 4) + (21 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 188 Ratings = 4.415
  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 Northcott House Residential Care and Nursing Home is based on 15 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 59 registered maximum number of service users is 11.8, which has been reached with 15 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.
