Review from Deb M (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 June 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum was discharged from hospital to Wilton Manor Care Home in December 2020 - she was in the advanced stages of Alzheimer's and had a broken neck - she was classified as 'end of life'. It was a very difficult time for Mum and for her family but the nursing and care was truly unsurpassable. With Covid
restrictions family were often unable to visit but the staff would be in constant contact and always happy to receive a call - being honest and reassuring regarding Mum's health. Mum recovered from her broken neck and spent a further 18 months at Wilton Manor Care Home before she passed away comfortable and peacefully in their care. Her life had changed beyond recognition but the family cannot thank the staff enough for all they did for Mum during her time there - going the extra mile to keep mum as happy and safe as possible. Such a wonderful team throughout the nursing home - supporting family in every possible way. Thank you so much for your love and care all at Wilton Manor Care Home.

Staff at Wilton Manor have always taken the utmost care to make the residents as comfortable and independent as possible during these unprecedented times. Nothing is too much trouble and have never hesitated to contact me regarding the welfare of my mother, and I have seen firsthand the respect they
have shown to other residents during my visits. The activities team ensures that there is something available for everyone to take part in no matter What level of ability they present. The home is always clean and inviting with happy smiling staff to greet you.
My mother has been at Wilton Manor for nearly 2 years now very happily.

My mum lived her final 2 years in Wilton Manor Care Home and died a peaceful death there in April. She had complex dementia care needs and the staff there responded so well to these, adapting to ensure she got what was right for her. They kept me informed about her care, and I knew that when I was not
there mum was safe and well looked after. Staff went beyond "just care', they loved and understood my mum.

When my mum first arrived at Wilton Manor, she really didn't like it, but a few months down the line, she is very settled, and now likes it there. This is all thanks to all the staff, and especially the senior carer, who has helped my mum so much, and I'm so grateful to her.

My mother has been in respite at Wilton Manor Care Home for the last six weeks with a view to becoming a permanent resident. I have been very pleased with the care given and can visibly see how much better my mother has become since entering. She is especially happy with the carers, who are so loving
and very kind in every way. Food is excellent. She loves the company and has been very happy to join in with the activities. Covid restrictions are followed according to Government guidelines, so it will be better when this is back to normal, and visitors and outside visits become available.

As my husband went into care in lockdown, I had little choice as to where he went, so was very anxious, but I needn't have worried because Wilton Manor turned out to be excellent for my husband's needs. Over the last few weeks, as I have been able to visit him, I have found the staff very friendly and
helpful. I think he is in very good hands.

We wanted my Aunt to be placed somewhere nice and Wilton Manor Care Home is well beyond our expectations. The staff are lovely, and the home is clean, tidy and well decorated. Going into a home is not always easy for the elderly, so to be placed somewhere where it feels like home, is really important.

Despite problems arising from the virus outbreak, Wilton Manor is working hard to provide a good standard of care for its residents. Wilton Manor is taking great care to follow Public Health guidelines, particularly in regards to checks on visitors. It is difficult to comment in detail because of ongoing
restrictions on visits but I have no reason to think that standards have declined. As always the staff seem kind, courteous, helpful and patient towards residents and visitors.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.732)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.732) out of 10 for Wilton Manor Care 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 15 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 4.732 for Wilton Manor Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (133 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 4.732
  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 Wilton Manor Care 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 69 registered maximum number of service users is 13.8, 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.
