Located in Letchworth, MHA Trembaths holds a special place as the first nursing home opened by MHA in 1989, setting a trend as the first care home in the UK’s first garden city. The home provide nursing, residential dementia and palliative care for 51 residents.

For nature lovers, the open countryside and Green Way are just a short walk from the home. The beautifully landscaped gardens, reminiscent of a country estate, surround the home, offering residents stunning views from every window. With mature fruit trees, including pears, apples, and plums, as well as a grand walnut tree adored by local squirrels, the outdoor spaces provide ample seating areas, perfect for relaxing in sun or shade while enjoying the vibrant surroundings.

Each spacious bedroom offers a unique view of the secure and accessible gardens, providing a peaceful environment for all residents. Spiritual support is available through the regular chaplain, who offers guidance and a listening ear to residents of all beliefs.

Review from Richard W (Husband of Resident) published on 2 September 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife has dementia and was admitted to Trembaths on the 4th of Jan 2015, she became unable to stand at home and I needed a care home to look after her. She settled in very well and has been looked after in the dementia unit by caring attentive and well trained staff. Her needs are attended to and
everyone is most considerate with the increasing demands of dementia. I had previously visited 5 care homes in the area to see how they performed. This was my best choice. The home was in the process of appointing a replacement manager during the period my wife was admitted.

Review from Anna R (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 August 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident at Trembaths for over six months now and I am really pleased with her care. She settled in really quickly and easily and she has a lovely room with her own en-suite. Her room is cleaned daily including clean towels and bedding. The staff are all lovely and mum has got to
know them all and is really comfortable with them. Mum was really thin when she went into Trembaths as she didn't eat very well living on her own, but now has put on a little weight and looks really well and healthy.
Although mum doesn't join in with a lot of activities just yet, there are a good range of daily activities at Trembaths and even some outings. Mum likes to attend the church service they hold there once a week. I do honestly feel that mum is happy and well cared for at Trembaths and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a care home for their loved one.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.759)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.759) out of 10 for Trembaths 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.759 for Trembaths is calculated as follows: ( (225 Excellents x 5) + (55 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 286 Ratings = 4.759
  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 Trembaths is based on 24 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 51 registered maximum number of service users is 10.2, which has been reached with 24 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.
