My mum moved to Adelaide House at the very end of December 2024 after an 8 week stay in hospital. From the moment she arrived, it was clear that this was the right choice for her.
The care and attention she receives from the staff is second to none. They are incredibly professional, compassionate and
attentive.
It's evident that the staff genuinely care about the residents, this gives me such peace of mind knowing that she is comfortable, safe and very well cared for.
When we visit the staff are always very friendly and can't seem to do enough to help, and nothing seems like too much trouble.
I have already recommended Adelaide House to one of my friends to look at for a member of their family.

Reply from Rebecca Palmer, Administrator at Adelaide House Nursing Home

Thank you for the recommendation and for your lovely review, we are so happy that your mother is with us - she brightens our days with her sense of humour.

My aunt was end of life when transferred from the hospital 10 weeks ago so we always knew that her time was limited. The whole team there from management down, ensured that she really felt loved and cared for, so much so that my aunt believed she was residing in her bedroom at her own home.
Words are
not enough to express our gratitude towards the wonderful and amazing team. The nurses work tirelessly with true vocation. We were always made to feel so welcome and in an often dark world, they were a beacon of hope. My aunt was looked after as if she were part of their family. She was cleaned and changed every day and always looked so fresh, happy and comfortable. Nothing was ever too much trouble. When she passed suddenly a few days ago it was calm and peaceful and she was treated with dignity. The staff showed us warmth and compassion. We were so fortunate that my aunts last days were spent in such a lovely place.

When she decided she was no longer able to look after herself in her flat, my Mum chose Adelaide Nursing Home as what she knew would be her final home. That was 15 months ago, and she was in her early 90s.
During her time in Adelaide Mum enjoyed various activities, and visits from entertainers, their
Summer Garden Party was a highlight. Volunteers also brought in various animals including a Shetland pony, which all added interest. Mum had a number of health issues which were either managed solely by the lovely nursing team or by them after consulting with her doctor. Treatment was swift and I was always kept informed. Without exception, all of the staff I came across were very welcoming and happy to help where they could, which was very reassuring for me. When my Mum passed away, the staff informed me straight away and dealt with both my Mum and me with sensitivity.

Mum had been at Adelaide House for nearly three years. I don’t live nearby but felt very confident they would look after her. I can’t fault the care and immediate attention and treatment she received when needed. Mum chose not to take part in downstairs activities as she preferred to stay in her room,
and her wishes were respected, but she loved the visits from the dogs!
The team were so kind, and when Mum passed away, they did everything they could to make things easier for Mum, and me.
Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this lovely care home.

I dislike care homes as most are badly managed. Not this one it is absolutely excellent never had any concerns and always contacted us if any changes.
It’s always a very difficult decision but my mum is very well cared for so if you are looking for a home for a loved one highly recommend here.

My aunt has been a resident for 3 years. She came to the home having had a fall and needing 24hr care. She was admitted to the care home as end-of-life. However, due to the care and love that she has received from the staff she is thriving at 97! During the pandemic, they ensured that the family were
kept updated regularly even though we couldn't visit initially. When restrictions were eased a great amount of provision (setting up a family area for face-to-face visits) which meant a lot to her and the family. We are very pleased with our choice of home and the care it provides. Thank you so much for the care you give my Aunt.

My dad came to Adelaide House 2 years ago. It was not what he thought would be the next stage in his life but he has been well looked after and is settled. It was a worry for us because he wasn't looking after himself but now looks well and has good food and anything he needs the staff get him or do
for him. I am always informed of any issues and the family are very happy with his care.

I am a volunteer, and I bring my therapy dog to see the residents for an hour on a weekly basis.
My observations from our visits over the past nine months are that Adelaide House seems a very comfortable and well-run home, where the staff are very caring, friendly and attentive whilst also remaining
respectful to the residents. Generally, the place is run by a lovely group of people.
My dog enjoys his visits to Adelaide House, and if there were any negative vibes, he would pick up on them immediately. His reactions say far more than my words can convey!

Mum and Dad were admitted to Adelaide House at the height of covid. It was a very difficult decision. Care home staff were having a scary time and coping with residents' anxiety and even more so, relatives' fears, must have been exhausting.
There are many people to thank at Adelaide for the care my
parents have received during the near 2-year stay. I can honestly say that the care home manager has been a shining example of professionalism and care and compassion. She has many lovely nurses and care staff working with her and they have made Mum and Dad safe and well cared for.

We were overwhelmed by the care and kindness of the management and staff at Adelaide House. The care my husband received was second to none. Nothing was too much trouble. Every effort was made to ensure my husband was happy, he desperately wanted a window seat, a lovely sunny corner was found for him.
He wanted a chair he could lay back in, within minutes of requesting this one was found. He wanted a coffee table to try and do a jigsaw and one was cleared for him. The chef was kindness itself in providing him with a tasty fat-free diet. He was transferred from hospital to Adelaide House to receive end-of-life care. The medical care they gave him for two months has now allowed him to be cared for at home. The care and consideration that was given to me, my family and friends was exceptional. We can never thank them enough for their care and support through this difficult time.

My mother and stepfather both experienced serious deterioration of health conditions during the covid lockdown period. The family struggled to give the 24/7 care their safety required. My sister had some direct experience of care in Adelaide House and the social worker recommended Adelaide. It is also
close to one family member. I have been very happy with the care and support given. The home is warm in all senses, clean, well staffed and once covid allowed, provides some stimulating activity and welcomes visitors. The manager is particularly approachable as are the office staff. I visit frequently and have never experienced unacceptable events. Thank you to all the staff for providing a safe and comfortable environment for my family members.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.876)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.876) out of 10 for Adelaide House Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.876 for Adelaide House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (250 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 283 Ratings = 4.876

  • 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 Adelaide House Nursing Home is based on 25 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 25 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.

I have worked at Adelaide since November 2021 and I love every minute of my job! I've come from mainly an administrative background, but this is my first role within a care home. As soon as I stepped into the home
I sensed what a warm, friendly, caring home it is.


I am the first port of call for all visitors to the home such as relatives, friends, nurses and tradespeople and I keep all the administrative paperwork up to date. The best part about my job is interacting with the lovely residents and seeing them enjoy the wonderful activities we have on offer.
