Review from A W (Friend of Resident) published on 29 August 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My long-time friend and neighbour has recently moved into Haydon Mayer which was not his choice. When I visited him today, I was speechless, he was up out of bed and sitting in the lounge chatting with other residents. It was so nice to see him like this again. His room is clean and tidy and the staff
are so welcoming.

The care for my mum has been first-class. People here are kind, and caring and treat my mum with dignity. They also have arranged to get her walking a little on a frame which is a miracle. The activity coordinator is fantastic and is always putting a smile on the residents's faces.

My mother is never down or depressed, a bit sad when she sees her children leave the home. Always clean and fresh looking and well looked after. Love how they put her hair up and make-up on. Seeing people keeps her strong. Love the pictures of all the care home doing activities. Thank you all for looking
after our mother and keeping her how she likes to look and face the world.

Review from J C (Resident) assisted by family/friend published on 25 April 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Whilst overall, I am happy with the care I am receiving at Haydon-Mayer, I feel that I should point out that one evening, about one week ago, I was in extreme pain and very uncomfortable. I had to wait at least two hours for assistance after pressing my alarm. I appreciate that you may have been busy
and possibly short staffed but I do think that is too long to wait and sincerely hope it will not happen again.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was moved to Haydon-Mayer after a horrendous month in Hospital. What a contrast! All the staff at Haydon Mayer treated her with such kindness, respect and professionalism. As she neared the end of her life she was not conscious much of the time but the team continued to treat her with the utmost
respect and dignity. They were also very kind and patient to me at such a difficult time, which I am so grateful for. We did not know anything about Haydon-Mayer before she was moved there but based on our experience I would not hesitate to recommend them. Thank you so much to all at Haydon-Meyer.

My husband seems reasonably happy despite having many debilitating health problems. He appears to like the meals provided. The Christmas lunch was particularly good. Compliments to the chef. My husband also enjoys the extra little treats and the homemade soup too.

This is a wonderfully welcoming home. All the staff have been very friendly and go above and beyond to make my father in laws stay brilliant. It's a lovely atmosphere as you walk into the door. The manager has been excellent in helping us settle him. A huge thank you from us all and keep up the good

Dad has been a resident at Haydon-Mayer Care Home for only one week but has settled in well and been made to feel very welcome and comfortable. The staff are very friendly, caring and helpful. Dad is very well looked after. The home is very clean and Dad has a large airy room. The food is nice, traditional,
home-cooked meals which my dad loves. Management are very approachable, informative and are very friendly.

Although my husband was with you for such a short time we, all the family felt we got to know you as friends.
The care you gave him was exceptional and we felt he was in good hands, and wish to thank you for all the care you gave him, that we could not.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.547)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.547) out of 10 for Haydon-Mayer Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.547 for Haydon-Mayer Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (212 Excellents x 5) + (132 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 358 Ratings = 4.547
  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 Haydon-Mayer Care Home is based on 31 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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, which has been reached with 31 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.
