I can't speak highly enough - Glentworth House Nursing Home has been fantastic for my mother, both management and care home staff are always available and very professional. My mother and the other residents receive excellent care and are treated consistently with dignity and respect. We visit weekly
at different times of day with no forewarning and have always found Mum to be clean, well fed and kept active and involved with carers and other residents, sometimes she has newly painted nails or a new haircut and dress.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been a resident at Glentworth House for approximately 2 years during which time she has been treated with much kindness, friendliness and respect by all members of staff. I might also add that all staff are very friendly with me too. When I ring to enquire about my daughter's health,
this is very important to me and our family as I live over a hundred miles away and can't see her as often as I, or we would like, usually coming by coach/taxi. We are always pleased to see how well she is catered for, to make her as happy and comfortable as possible in her current situation for which we are very grateful.

On entering the home, there is always a very good welcome by the staff, always helpful when there is something asked by visitors, tea and coffee is always offered to visitors. Mum seems very happy in the home with such a wonderful atmosphere. She came out of hospital in the New Year and since has been
eating better, she is healing well and communicating better which was not the case before she went into hospital. On receiving care and assistance by staff at Glentworth House, she is now able due to the healing process, to access the wheelchair and be taken by staff to the lounge and garden. Visitors (Family) came to the home recently to celebrate her 84th birthday party, staff made a lovely cheesecake. Mum is happy.
Reply from Paul Cartwright, Manager at Glentworth House Nursing Home

It is a pleasure looking after your mum. It was wonderful to be able to get her in the garden and lounge. The smile on her face said it all.

As soon as my wife was accepted at the home she was welcomed and made very much a part of resident's family, has been given first-class care and personal attention.
All the carers, nurses and those who keep the home working efficiently do a wonderful job.
I always after visiting feel that my wife
is in the best possible care which puts me at ease and can know that everyone has made it a very special home for her to be in.

Overall - excellent. The atmosphere is warm and caring with attention given to each resident's needs. There is a very inclusive attitude and each person is encouraged to participate in whichever way they can, in whatever is happening or ongoing. A lot of planning in order to maintain their physical
and mental wellbeing. The creative kitchen staff lure everyone to meals sending out mouthwatering aromas. Spotless rooms and hallways with spotless residents make mingling a pleasure. The management and staff working in their different roles throughout the house are all such important components of this "welcoming home." Thank you.

My mother was first a resident in the home for respite and I visited frequently and was impressed with how the staff treated the residents with dignity, respect and kindness. Also, she was always smartly dressed when I saw her. The food she received was of a good standard and a generous portion.

It's very sad to know your loved one needs to go into a nursing home. We have been given lots of support and understanding. In lockdown my many phone calls were all answered, giving me updates on health etc. Everyone is so kind and the music at a gentle level, calming.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.589)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.589) out of 10 for Glentworth House Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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 4.689 for Glentworth House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (74 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 106 Ratings = 4.689
  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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Glentworth House Nursing Home is based on 9 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 = 3.9
    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 33 registered maximum number of service users is 6.6, which has been reached with 9 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.
