My Mum has been in the home for 6 weeks now and cannot fault the home
The old home we rarely see a carer here is the reverse there are carers around all the time and we visit at different days and times
Food wise mum has breakfast then around 10 its tea and biscuits them then lunch at 12 more tea
and biscuits at around 2 supper at about 4 Then tea and biscuits at about 8
Everytime I go in I get offered a drink
Mum finds it hard to walk so everyday she has 2 carers help her walk for a while one with her and one right behind her with her wheelchair
And they always have time not just for mum but for all the residents
This goes for all the staff from the manager down
This is the happiest I have seen my Mum in a long time

We cannot fault the care and support my husband has received at Fewcott House. if he needs a doctor one arrives promptly. The staff are so professional and couldn't be more helpful. All the staff from the chefs to the nurses are cheerful and considerate. Hospital/dentist trips have been organised when
needed. Food seems tasty. The room is new and fresh and the French Doors outside are great.

The care Home manager, Assistant Manager, Nurses and Care Assistants are all part of the Fewcott family. Each resident is cared for with dignity and respect. No request is refused. All matters of religion, social and family needs. You can visit your family member at any time of the day and have no issues
with supporting the home with the weekend or appointments. Excellent service, above and beyond.

When my best friend was no longer able to look after herself at home her eldest daughter asked me to view care homes with her. I had previous experience with Fewcott as old neighbors were there the year before. I have always found the staff friendly, and caring. My friend was given a first-floor room
and now resides in a ground-floor room. This is spacious and sunny, My friend has all the room equipment in the room she needs. She feels safe and secure and I am sure the friendliness and care of the staff will continue.

Review from Robert W (Husband of Resident) published on 25 July 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife has suffered with dementia since 1995. Twenty-three years later, in May 2018, she became a resident at Fewcott House Nursing Home. This was a particularly anxious time for my daughters and myself, but we need not have worried, for she has has been looked after wonderfully well by the director
and staff ever since. I have little doubt that my wife did deteriorate mentally when we were prevented from seeing her during lockdown, but of course that was not the fault of the home. The heating system is the only draw back, as it can only be moderated by turning it off.

My husband suffers from Alzheimer's disease and has been a resident for twenty-two months. During this time, his condition has rapidly deteriorated and he can no longer walk, feed himself, or communicate his needs. Throughout his stay, he has been treated with nothing but dignity, kindness and understanding
by all the staff. I feel so grateful that I found a home where he receives such wonderful care.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The team is very friendly and my relative is very comfortable (both physically and psychologically) in Fewcott House. He enjoys the food, and likes his interactions with the team. When provided, he loves the activities and is proud of his contributions. He does not interact with other residents, and
does not use the outdoor facilities which is a shame. The communication from the staff to us is good and they do not hesitate to contact us when they have any concerns about his health or medical treatment. The home has been impressive during the COVID lockdown period.

Thank you for your kind words Robert, it is always nice to receive some feedback from our family members. We are really pleased to hear that your relative is very comfortable here and it is our pleasure to take good care of him. We make sure that all the staff we recruit are of the highest standard and we always strive to make improvements where possible with regular meetings and training. As your family member became part of ours when joining us here at Fewcott House, we like to keep you updated with their wellbeing as much as possible. With very best wishes, Fewcott House Nursing Home.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.798)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.798) out of 10 for Fewcott House Nursing Home 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.798 for Fewcott House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (107 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 129 Ratings = 4.798
  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 Fewcott House Nursing Home is based on 11 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 11 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.
