The team have been enormously helpful in handling my mum's transition into the home. They have reacted to her needs, wishes and occasional demands. The level of care is high with the staff being caring and friendly. Thus so far, very impressed. Keep it up!

The staff are always helpful but not always knowledgeable about several topics such as why do items of clothing continually go missing? medical matters? and recently when will the lift be repaired it was out of action for some three weeks, also staff changing can be confusing.

Review from C W (Wife of Resident) published on 29 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
My husband is fairly well looked after - but is not encouraged to get into his wheelchair (as he is not very comfortable) - but could stay in it for approximately an hour. Because he is more or less bed bound and eats all the food, he has put on a tremendous amount of weight. Have tried on various occasions
for him to go on a diet but all they do is not give him puddings.
This is a home which is adequate but could do better.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
I have been a resident for just about one and a half years and I feel the place is second to none. My conditions are fulfilled as the best possible. I suffer from MS for over 30 years and it is a condition that does not easily accommodate with family life. The alternate offered here is pleasant.

Review from James H (Son of Resident) published on 6 September 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A very caring, friendly, and professional environment for looking after my father. He resides in a very clean well-ventilated sun room with private facilities and without a doubt he is very fond of all the excellent staff who look after him. There are many and varied activities the residents can get
involved in to keep them active both mentally and physically (if they choose). A lovely garden to wander round with a river to one side, wonderful setting. We spent a lot of time researching homes, we could not have been luckier to find Abbey Chase. Dad loves it, so do I.

Review from Margaret B (Sister of Resident) published on 17 August 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My brother went into Abbey Chase Residential Care in Chertsey on the 8th August as he wasn't being properly looked after at home. He was very underweight and 'untidy' and had really lost the will to do anything. I wish you could see the picture of him last Saturday (just five days later) at their annual
Garden Party for residents and family - timed that well! Persuaded to leave his room, he ended up staying for nearly two hours and ate a plate of pork - only eats chicken and turkey breast! - and two eclairs! Thank you, Abbey Chase, for not only revitalising his appetite but his mind as well.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.864)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.864) out of 10 for Abbey Chase Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 47 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 47 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 4.864 for Abbey Chase Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (489 Excellents x 5) + (53 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 553 Ratings = 4.864
  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 Abbey Chase Nursing Home is based on 47 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 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4, which has been reached with 47 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.
