Excellent staff and comfortable surroundings mum is 102 years of age and the care home has plenty of room for moving around to the dining room and spacious patio/lounge. Food is very varied and can be cooked to mum's needs. Menu service for the next day's needs.

We have been very impressed with the level of care my mother-in-law has received since she arrived in January. The staff are caring and very approachable. They always go out of their way in delivering personalised care. My mother-in-law speaks highly of the standard and variety of the meals offered
and thoroughly enjoys the homemade cakes and biscuits offered at tea and coffee times. The activities offered are very much enjoyed too!

My father has been at Saltwood for over 2 years and feel that it was the right choice for him. The staff are wonderful, very professional, caring and helpful right through the whole team. He recently had his 99th birthday and the staff went above and beyond anything I could have expected. Dad is a Pearly
King and they arranged for some Pearly Kings and Queens to come to Saltwood for a surprise birthday party for him. He was overwhelmed when he saw them as he never thought he would see them again. He had the best birthday we could possibly hope for and a wonderful memory. Can't thank them enough.

Nobody warns you and nothing prepares you for the time you have to look after your elderly parents and we never realised how emotionally and mentally exhausting it would be, but thankfully we had Saltwood Care Centre and it's staff to support us, and care for them.
They looked after my Father and Mother
over the last two years.
They have both now passed and as upsetting as it is losing them, it is nice to know that they spent their remaining time in a caring and comfortable environment.
We can never thank the staff at Saltwood Care Centre enough. There's to many to mention but special thanks to the Management team, who's support and professionalism throughout the time our parents were with them, we will never forget and be forever grateful.

The care and support given to my Aunt is exemplary. The team are vigilant with her health issues to ensure she is comfortable and can live her best life. The managers and staff could not do more for her, they definitely treat her as one of their own family. I am always made feel welcome and supported
when visiting and confident that I can raise any queries anytime. Most important to me is that my Aunt is happy, she enjoys living at Saltwood Care Centre and feels safe and loved.

There have been occasional lapses in care. When I came I found that he had previously opened his bowels but his bottom had not been cleaned. He has complained to me that one or two carers have not treated him with respect and have been rude. Whether this is because they find it difficult to understand
his speech and become impatient I don't know but generally the carers are kind, helpful, patient and understanding.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My Mum was originally booked in for Respite Care, as although nearly 102 and been totally independent all her life, she had suddenly lost her strength and needed care. I had a holiday booked with my grandchildren, so we agreed she would have her own holiday in Saltwood Care Centre. The Admin Team could
not have been more helpful in coming to assess her needs and booking her in. It became clear that this was not going to be respite so she moved in 4 days earlier and received exceptionally good care.
I was able to go away for 4 days, safe in the knowledge that she could not have been in better hands. Sadly on my second night, she passed away peacefully. I was kept informed of her sudden decline and then of her passing. Again, everything was seamless which helped me incredibly at a difficult time.
I cannot praise Saltwood more and highly recommend their facilities and teams.

Both my mother and my father spent their final years at Saltwood and I could not be more happy with the care they received both nursing and housekeeping.
The staff are consistently friendly and helpful - they genuinely seem to like what they're doing and the people they're caring for. My mother was
showing signs of dementia when she entered Saltwood. As her condition deteriorated, and she was eventually confined to bed, the Saltwood staff continued to take the greatest care of her, making sure she was as comfortable as her circumstances would allow.
My father survived her by another two years, although with increasingly failing health. Again, the Saltwood staff took great care of him. They did what they could to help him maintain his mobility. When he was no longer able to move, they made sure he stayed clean and comfortable.
On the very few occasions when we did need something done, we only had to ask and the management team took care of it.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.689)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.689) out of 10 for Saltwood Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.689 for Saltwood Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (228 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) + (22 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 293 Ratings = 4.689

  • b) 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 Saltwood Care Centre is based on 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 68 registered maximum number of service users is 13.6, which has been reached with 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
