So far, my husband says all nurses are great and do what he asks for. I cannot visit all that often as I am 92 this year, and I do not drive, so I have to get a taxi or a lift. Thank you for all that you do.

Very professional management and support staff. Very friendly and patient service staff. Respectful and sensitive staff. Caring and cheerful staff.
This care home was selected after a very personable and assuring meeting with the manager and tour. Our first impressions were very good and these have
been maintained throughout our seven months of association thus far. We continue to be most satisfied and pleased with the care provided.

My sister has been in Ersham House Nursing home for just over a year now. She continues to be very well cared for by all of the nurses and the staff there. Whenever I ring to ask how she is whoever answers the phone always answers my questions and when possible if she is near they will give her the
phone to speak with me. She has always got a cup of coffee to hand and is always clean and tidy. The home is always pleasant to go into and welcoming. Activities are laid on to suit all needs with seasonal get-togethers. I can find no fault and can only say many thanks.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was in the care of Ersham House for almost five years until her recent death. In that time I was always aware of and grateful for the great patience and compassion the staff had for their charges. They kept my mother safe during the pandemic and she came to regard Ersham House as her home.
These are good people.

My dad has been at Ersham House Nursing Home since September and we cannot recommend this home enough. All the staff are kind and friendly and have gone above to meet Dad's needs. Dad has settled very well with the changes and I put this down to the kindness he has received here. Dad feels at home here
which has given us so much comfort. So thank you to all of you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum came to Ersham House 6 months ago, having been moved twice this year in a short space of time. I have to say I have been really impressed by everything I've seen here. The staff are all very approachable and always happy to explain everything that is happening with Mum. They are all so caring
and friendly towards me and towards Mum as well as being professional in their duties. I am so pleased that Mum is here, there is a warm and friendly atmosphere about the place every time I'm there. Mum is in end-of-life care and the team shows so much dignity when dealing with her, I wouldn't want her to be anywhere else. The manager is always willing to talk through things and make sure I am kept informed of how Mum is. I really haven't got a bad word to say about the place. Thank you to all of the team for putting my mind at rest to know that Mum is safe and being cared for so well.

I am currently here for respite care and enjoying spending time relaxing in the large garden. The manageress has been extremely helpful and nothing is too much for her. The nurses and care staff go above and beyond in making sure you are comfortable and have everything you require, whilst always smiling
and professional. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank them all for decorating my room and helping me celebrate my birthday whilst in their care. I would have no hesitation in highly recommending this nursing home. Thank you.

Mum has always been made comfortable and treated with dignity and great kindness. The care has been second to none and I have always been kept informed of Mum's condition. The rooms are clean, tidy and welcoming. I could not fault any of the staff, who all deserve a medal!

Over three years I have been impressed by the care my wife has received from the (mostly young) staff here. Cheerful, helpful and polite, they do a sometimes difficult job to a high standard.

Review from Angela T (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 December 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
My mum was here for a year and during that time, there were 4 managers.
The care staff I met were very lovely but overall the care mum received was far from satisfactory.
There were also constant issues with the laundry - clothes were lost, other residents' clothes were hung in the wrong wardrobes,
etc.
The food was unappealing and even though my mum needed assistance and food cutting up for her, it rarely was.
Mum didn't join any of the activities.
Reply from Lindsey Giles, Manager at Ersham House Nursing Home

My wife has been a resident here for over a year. She has advanced Parkinson's disease and related dementia. Her mobility has steadily decreased. During her stay, she appears to have been treated with dignity and compassion by staff, many of whom are quite young, but nevertheless, seem very dedicated.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.890)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.890) out of 10 for Ersham House 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 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 4.890 for Ersham House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (115 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 127 Ratings = 4.89
  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 Ersham 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.
