Dad is a fairly new resident at Emily Jackson House Care Home and we are pleased to see him now settled in.

Happy with how my husband is settling in.
Staff are friendly and food choices good.
Emily Jackson is well equipped and a pleasant home.
Only improvements we would like is, meals not be given so late, especially breakfast. Also more drinks given as he needs full support with this.

The Adin team, from my initial call (a bit of an emergency), handled our securing a Respute room for our mother with speed, efficiency & a huge welcome for our family in 24 hours... and then welcomed us all days later to celebrate her 93rd birthday.
For 2 week we couldn't find a fault & was so comforting
for us to know she was in such "caring" hands.
On every visit we were all treated so well and welcomed at EJ.

I spent 2 1/2 weeks at Emily Jackson recovering from emergency surgery after a similar length of time in hospital . The staff and nursing care were excellent and EJ House was exactly what I needed before returning home. A number of staff had been working there for more than 10 years and I found everyone
to be caring and professional. If I was a long term resident , I would have liked a larger room . Food was fine.

Our dad moved to Emily Jackson House for some respite care after a week in hospital, following some falls at his home. We were undecided whether he should eventually return home or stay in long term care. Having seen dad spend 4 weeks in care, we noticed a big change in his attitude to life and an improvement
in his general health. He is eating and drinking really well, is mixing with the other residents and seems much happier being around more people. The carers and all the other staff have been really friendly, professional, helpful and caring towards dad and also us. We looked at other care homes locally but decided dad was in the best place that he could be. Thanks to all the team.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Our mum spent 4 weeks in respite care. The management team and majority of staff were brilliant (one member, who has since left was not so great). The bedroom was very small - hence the reason we moved from here to another facility long term but perhaps there are larger rooms. The decor is pleasant
but tired. The facility lacks some of the communal areas that other large homes have, meaning the activities program is more limited. Felt the reception area could be more 'open' - the window often partially closed. Excellent food, particularly the cake.
Reply from Susan Deol, General Manager at Barchester Emily Jackson House Care Home

Thank you for taking time to reflect on the services and the care provided by our team at Emily Jackson House. We appreciate your feedback provided and will share with the rest of the team at Emily Jackson House. We are pleased to hear your mum benefited from her 4 weeks in our respite care, It is reassuring that you feel management team and majority of staff being brilliant. We are sorry at the time of your mum's, respite stay with us, we did not have a larger bedroom available and continue to accommodate her needs with us at Emily Jackson House. We do hope your mum settles in well at the alternative facility you have chosen for her. We have taken on board the comments that you have highlighted about the decor and currently have our project teams reviewing areas in the home. Once again we appreciate your compliments provided, we are pleased that you felt the food is excellent, particularly the cake. Best wishes to you and the family.

My husband has been a resident in this care home for nearly a year. In that time, he has definitely improved in his social skills, speech, attitude and sociability.

The staff at Barchester Emily Jackson House Care Home were so kind and supportive to my mother. She arrived after falling in her flat and was confused and often difficult with the staff. The staff were wonderful at encouraging her to participate in activities and to make her feel part of the family
there.
My mother became ill in November and again, the staff were fantastic in the care they showed my mother and the support they gave me and my family during this very difficult period. The nursing staff were particularly good at explaining what was happening and were very kind with her throughout.
I cannot thank them enough for all they did!

My mum spent September 2024 at Barchester Emily Jackson House Care Home to undergo an NHS Continuing Healthcare Assessment. It was our family's first experience of a care home and we were very anxious. Mum had complex needs, had suffered a stroke and was in late stage dementia and had trouble communicating.
We needn't have worried. The staff were amazing from the start. They were very respectful, compassionate and attentive to both her and to the other patients. One nurse, in particular, was good. Mum had been in hospital for over a month before going to the home and the staff/resident ratio was much higher at the home. Communication was excellent: they were always able to give us details about how Mum was getting on and they contacted us promptly to let us know if there were any issues in her care.

    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 55 registered maximum number of service users is 11, which has been reached with 28 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.
