Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

I was a resident for 2 weeks. The staff were all pleasant. The food was excellent. The room was kept very clean and I was cared for very well. The friendship between the residents, the care staff and the senior staff was very good. My daughter reported that everyone she dealt with in the home were
very friendly and helpful.
Unfortunately, my mobile telephone was unable to get a signal while I was a resident which made it very difficult for me to contact my family & vice versa. I am told that this is a known problem and many telephone networks do not have signal inside the care home.

Reply from Sanjay Dhrona, Managing Director at The Close Care Home

Thanks for the review MP! Have a very Merry Christmas. We know we are asking Santa for better phone signal! Fingers crossed the networks listen... in case we have amazing 1gb Wi-Fi that goes throughout the home so we have residents using it for video calls galore (if the device phone is capable, if not we can arrange calls with in-house devices, our deck phones also are used throughout for people to call and speak with too, I know that helped a few times). All the best and see you soon!

My husband has been a resident of Clifton Wing for three years. He is totally dependent on the staff for all his needs and requires full-time specialist care from the manager and her team. The staff are his main carers who are so dedicated and kind where nothing is too much of a problem.
A special
thank you to the carer who transported my husband to our son's wedding and accompanied him throughout the service and the photographs.
We are always delighted to speak to the staff on reception who are very supportive with any issues or concerns that I might have.
Finally you have all been wonderful and it's so reassuring to know he's in the best care home possible.

They were caring, professional, and always attentive. I cannot thank them enough for the wonderful care they provided, ensuring my mother was looked after

My Granddaughter of 23 years old has been at The Close Care Home for 2.5 years. I have never seen her so happy, content, relaxed and well cared for. Although she is the youngest there, all the carers and other residents communicate with her which makes her smile. She has physio on a regular basis and
takes part in many of the activities that they provide, including music sessions which are her favourite. She has a main carer and they have so much fun together and it is very obvious they are close. Her main carer knows all her nonverbal signs and can interpret the meaning to give her the very best care. Her other carers are also very much respected and love my granddaughter very much and it shows every day. Two other staff members are also very supportive of my granddaughter in every way and overall I couldn't be more pleased with everything at Close Care.

Reply from Sanjay Dhrona, Managing Director at The Close Care Home

Thank you so much. We love the journey we've been on and the way your amazing granddaughter grows and develops and makes The Close her home. Thank you for your continued support as well as the rest of the family

My mother has been living at The Close now for over seven years. The continuity of care has been amazing, adapting to her changing needs as her illness progresses. She is not only well cared for physically but truly loved and respected as well. The nursing and care staff constantly go above and beyond
with cheerfulness and professionalism. Management is visible and supportive. Ancillary staff join in making the place feel as much like home as possible for residents and visitors. The food is freshly cooked and the option of a café where residents can eat alongside visitors is great. The activities are varied and regular and so beneficial for the more social residents like my mother. The physical environment is excellent inside and out with beautiful gardens sweeping down to the river. Everything is kept pristine. We arrived at The Close at a time of family crisis. We are grateful we found a place where my mother can live her best life.

The resident that I visit up to 3 times a week has come on leaps and bounds since being at The Close Care home. He is happy and content. Responds well to all staff and residents. His mobility has improved with the superb support he receives from the physio team and the carers who support him daily.
He is less stressed and agitated. All staff including the non-care staff greet the residents by name and chat with them. The meals are top level and dietary requirements are met. There is a wide range of daily activities for the residents to take part in and the residents are asked what activities and outings they would like to do. The activities team are great and support the residents to take part in the activities. They are friendly and very approachable.
The management team are always on hand and responds to any questions/queries straightaway. They know the residents and stop and chat with them. The home is always spotlessly clean.

Reply from Sanjay Dhrona, Managing Director at The Close Care Home

Thank you so much for your kind words. The team are amazing and love our residents. We've seen them come on too and so proud of our team and the way they care for him.

At first I was afraid that my wife will be unhappy to live in the care home but the atmosphere in The Close is so friendly and caring that both my wife and me are very happy with the choice!

We looked at many Care Homes before we came across The Close. It was by far the best we had seen. It was beautifully clean and didn't have that smell, and as we were looking around everyone spoke to us. The location is great, it overlooks the River Thames and the grounds are delightful and very well-kept.
Dad went into The Close from the hospital in August 2023. He has a lovely room with a door overlooking the garden and is welcome to do some gardening there. Once the better weather comes, he can sit outside and relax just like he would have done at home. He enjoys chats in the Bistro with a coffee and a piece of cake. I think the thing for us is that they know what they are doing in The Close and manage Dad's sometimes challenging behaviour very well. He did take a while to settle in, but it's just like home for him now. They know his ways and his routines and there is good communication with us if any issues arise.

I have been a resident in two care homes, previously, both rated good. However, it is evident that there is a very wide range in the 'Good' category. In my opinion, having lived here for 8 months, The Outstanding CQC rating of The Close is well deserved. It is staffed above the minimum level. The carers
seem happy in their work and almost without exception go out of their way to improve the quality of life for Residents even though, at times, this must be quite challenging. The Management is determined to ensure that we are treated like individuals and with respect. There is nothing about The Close that I can seriously fault. I will be forever grateful to my children who found the ideal place for me to live out my twilight years.

The Close is a warm and caring place. Everyone is treated with dignity and kindness. I cannot speak highly enough of it. The lady in the bistro is one in a million, patient with all and goes above and beyond in her care for residents and visitors without fail. So many names come to mind, the list is
endless. In general, a care home is not an easy place to come and live but The Close is the nearest place to being perfect.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5

I visited my brother with my sister-in-law, his wife. My brother was admitted from the Hospital after a fall because his legs could not bear his weight and he was a danger to himself and injured his wife. Since becoming a patient in The Close he seems to have become very withdrawn and unable to speak
much. He was lying in his bed with no pillow under his head and no cover. He was wearing a nappy and a shirt. Had we brought his grandchildren that would have been very distressing for them. My brother was a soldier and proud to be one. To see him in such undignified circumstances was quite distressing. He will never complain or make a fuss but just said that he wanted to go home and tried to climb over the bed rails. My sister-in-law is unable to get to the care home as there is no public transport, and she has difficulty hearing conversations on the phone, so she is unable to ask questions and would appreciate some proactive feedback as to what is being done for him.

Reply from Sanjay Dhrona, Managing Director at The Close Care Home

We are deeply saddened and disappointed at your experience. I understand this is a challenging time and either way I offer you a genuine apology as to everyone’s experience. There are some very complex matters which I am unable to list here to protect privacy, however, we have already detailed these in care plans and put measures in place. We have already started an investigation and will treat this as a formal complaint, looking into the matter and would love some support from you to look into the time and date this occurred please speak to the Regional Manager who has tried to get in touch. We have a full team of people to support residents and family and would suggest that you reach out to them in the first instance to resolve a matter quickly and then we can investigate in full thereafter. The hospital SSHB team are responsible for the main communication with regards to the resident to their NOK. We would welcome your suggestions also on methods of communication that would work to aid in comms

My mother, who will be 96 in July, has been a resident at The Close Care Home for three years and my brother and I are delighted with the care she receives. Last weekend, to celebrate His Majesty's upcoming Coronation, The Close organised a street party-style event and it was heartwarming to see so
many of the residents, their family members and carers together. The entertainment was first-class and the food delicious. Mum has dementia but is treated with dignity and respect by the wonderful caring staff. She's not on any medication and can become agitated but the majority of the time she's contented and happy, a tribute to the wonderful care she receives.

My mother recently stayed at The Close awaiting home support, she sadly passed away 21/05/2019. During her time at The Close, she received very supportive care from the care team, when she refused to eat, they individually encourage her and tempted her at every meal, even the chef visited her to tell
her he would cook anything she desired, this made her feel so special.
l personal found the care staff and the lady who was part of the housekeeping team to be so supportive to both mum and the family. We were all made to feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble for anyone. I would have no hesitation in recommending this home in its beautiful surrounding.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.562)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.562) out of 10 for The Close Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 14 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 4.784 for The Close Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (149 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 171 Ratings = 4.784

  • 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 4.778 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Close Care Home is based on 14 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 90 registered maximum number of service users is 18. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 18 = 0.778

  • 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.
