In my experience all the staff are cheerful, supportive, caring and friendly to both residents and their friends and relations. The garden is an absolute gem of a facility, much appreciated by all. Activities/events are thoughtful and fun for both residents and their family.

All the staff are happy, welcoming and friendly. My aunt was made to feel at home. The staff constantly interacts with residents. For my aunt's birthday, a party was thrown, including birthday cake and her favourite music. My aunt loved to sing, and the staff would come over to her and sing, so she
would join in. When my aunt was passing, the staff were very kind and respectful, coming in to kiss her. A real family feel, and this was extended to the family. My aunt was very happy here. We couldn't have wished for better for her final years.

I have been at Seaway Nursing Home almost a year and although it was very difficult for me when I first arrived I was soon made to feel part of a family. The staff are fantastic and there isn't anything they wouldn't do for you. It was the best decision I ever made as I feel safe and well looked after.
My condition will get worse in time but I know whatever care I need in the future will be provided for me.

He has been in the home around 18 months and I must say the are she receives is very supportive and professional from all the staff. She looks much better and settled in the environment. Her personal care is all covered and makes her very presentable at all times.

When my husband moved into Seaway, the cook told me that all the staff were 'super lovely'. She was not exaggerating. The kindness and care both my husband and I received was, in my opinion, exceptional. Sadly my husband died after 6 short weeks, but in those weeks I grew to be very fond of these smiling,
cheerful, kind and very hard-working people looking after my husband so well and hugging me when I visited. Seaway should be your first choice of a nursing home for anyone you love and want the best of care for. I shed tears when saying goodbye to these dear people.

Our lovely friend spent his last months at Seaway. It was the happiest months he had had in a long time. The staff treated him like family and took excellent care of him. His rights and choices were always honoured and respected. He was able to see his days out spending time in the lovely garden doing
what he loved best without judgement. We were always welcomed as visitors no matter the time or the day. All the staff are kind and polite and he loved them all. Thank you for making his last months so happy.

My mother moved into Seaway Nursing May 2022. She sadly passed away on 2nd February 2024. The care she received was outstanding. She loved all the staff. As soon as I met the staff, I knew she was in good hands. Whatever she asked for, they provided. They kept me informed of any issues. I could call
them at any time. All members of staff were important to her including the cleaner, handyman and all nursing and care staff. The care was exceptional.

You can hear some horror stories when it comes to care homes. In my experience, I have found Seaway Nursing Home friendly, caring, kind and safe. Staff are approachable and professional, even when working under pressure. I am confident that my loved one receives the care she needs in a safe environment.
You cannot put a price on peace of mind.

I was fortunate to be able to spend 2 weeks in Seaway recovering from major surgery. My partner had been admitted there in 2019 following a severe stroke, he was paralysed on his right side and had complex care needs. I was unable to continue visiting on a daily basis from home and so it was a great
relief to be in Seaway and able to see him daily. The staff went out of their way to make my stay extremely comfortable and pleasant including decorating my room and arranging for my partner to participate in my 70th Birthday celebration which happened to coincide with my stay. My wound was checked and redressed skillfully and I was able to rest in a warm, friendly supportive environment which had a positive impact on my recuperation and overall recovery. It was a huge comfort to know my partner was in kind, knowledgable and safe hands and was treated with dignity and compassion. His end of life care was exceptional and as a result, he died peacefully. A great blessing.

My wife was a resident for 15-days before she died. The service we received, on the whole, was excellent from the start. The care she received from the nursing staff was excellent and person-centred. We both felt very cared for.
On occasion, the home manager was inappropriate with her words and language,
and being given this form as I was loading my dead wife's belongings into the car was insensitive and ruined a good experience.

Seaway Nursing Home was able to accept my mum at short notice after she was released by the hospital after a fall. She was no longer able to walk and felt confused due to her dementia. The staff did everything they could to make her feel welcome and talk to her. They kept us informed of any changes
in her health and went above and beyond in her final days. We are grateful that our Mum was able to pass peacefully at Seaway...

Friendly, helpful and efficient. Qualified and caring nursing staff and carers. They looked after my mum beautifully for the last two weeks of her life. Access for visitors could be improved as there is no car parking outside - only residents parking permits required. It would be great if Seaway could
obtain permits for visitors.

Seaway had a good atmosphere; its location on a residential street made it feel more homelike than other more institutional facilities. All the staff were friendly and caring and were always welcoming to my siblings and I when we visited our mother. Our mother had declined considerably by the time she
was transferred to Seaway, and they catered to her increased needs admirably. After our mother passed, the staff were sympathetic and sensitive to our feelings, and we are very grateful that they packed away her belongings for us.

Seaways is a small and very friendly, warm home. My mum was very well looked after. She was always clean, neat and helped to join in the activities, which she really enjoyed, as she was a sociable person. The staff are very caring and friendly and kept us informed of changes. The food looked delicious,
and refreshments were always provided when requested. This was very much a home from home with amazing care and support.

My sister was as happy as possible, considering her circumstances. The staff related to her personality in an excellent way and went out of their way to help. In the difficult time of Covid lockdown, they facilitated FaceTime sessions with our family and from time to time, they would cook a special
meal - something most welcome to my sister.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.786)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.786) out of 10 for Seaway Nursing 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.786 for Seaway Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (107 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.786

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Seaway 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:

    • 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 20 registered maximum number of service users is 4, which has been reached with 11 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
