What a lovely, friendly home. All staff are friendly and very supportive. Since the new manager at the home, my godmother has been able to go on trips to local areas with support from the staff. She has never been so happy and cared for. My godmother enjoys the activities at the home and enjoys attending
daily and loves the visiting singers.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Moving to a nursing home from independent living was a difficult decision for my mother-in-law, but I can honestly say I haven’t seen her happier in years. The staff and level of care provided to her were outstanding, and the staff, in my opinion, went above and beyond to ensure that she was happy and
treated with dignity. The small things like staff remembering how she liked her coffee and which mug she liked really made the difference. From speaking to the staff, the majority have worked there for a number of years, which speaks for itself, and it very much feels like a family. All I can say is, thank you.

On my last visit to see my Aunt I noticed a change. I overheard people talking about a new manager. When I asked one of the lovely carers about it she confirmed that there was a new manager in place.
There is a different vibe in the home. My Aunt says that she is very happy and cared for. She is
going out more now which makes her feel better.

My Auntie has been a resident at the home for a few years, when we are in he area we like to visit my Auntie. She has been very settled at the home and always says the staff look after her so well.
My Auntie has her own room which is bright and very clean and my auntie has been able to bring a lot
of her favourite items with her to make her room personal for her.
On our recent visit it was noted there was a new manager at the home, what a transformation in the home, more staff to look after the people in the home and happy caring staff.
My auntie was so happy to have been able to go out with other residents and staff to the town for a coffee and a chat she said she loved the new opportunities in the home.
A friendly caring home would definitely recommend the home.

I visit my mum twice a week, the staff are always very friendly. I feel as if sometimes her hair is not washed as many times as I would like it to be. She does not always have a bottle of squash in her room so I can fill it up for her. The new manager seems very nice and the nurses are very friendly
towards me.

My aunt has been a resident for the past year.
I can't believe the difference in the home since the new manager has been there. There is a lovely, homely feel to the home. Staff are much happier and the care my aunt receives is outstanding.
I fully recommend the home for the excellent care and support

My mum came to Camelot Nursing & Residential Care Home from a previous assisted living accommodation. The difference was like night and day! The home is warm, friendly and is all about the residents' happiness, care and well-being. The staff are always interacting with Mum, making her very happy, with
a high level of care and really supportive.
Going into a home was very hard for my mum and our family, I can honestly say the warmth we all felt from all the staff and management made this process so much easier.

I have had to send an ambulance out to our mother tonight as we have not been able to contact the nursing home or our mum for the last day. We have, my sister and I been constantly ringing from 18:30 this evening. Mum is not getting the care she needs. No on-call doctor has been to see her despite several
requests for this. She needs to be in a hospice for palliative care and not a useless home that can't cope.
Your staff are rude, have upset my sister on numerous occasions. Despite being told that Mum would be checked on every hour this has not happened. Her bell/buzzer has been under her bed on several occasions, and not picked up. Items sent by her grandson have gone missing.
Eventually, at 10.45 my sister finally got through. This is a joke. Mum needs a hospice, not a care home.

My husband was treated very well in this home. They discharged him one day ago December 30th and today they phoned me to inform me he tested positive for Covid for a test taken on the 29th December. Why was my husband discharged when they had not received the results. This home has put all my family

Our mother was transferred to Camelot Nursing home in June 2019 after a four weeks stay in the hospital. She was extremely poorly, but now, 13-months on, she is still poorly but doing so much better. We cannot believe the transformation in her! We can only put it down to the dedication of care of all
the wonderful staff at Camelot. A big thank you, especially for safeguarding our loved ones during the covid-19 lockdown.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.913)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.913) out of 10 for Camelot Nursing & Residential Care 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 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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 4.913 for Camelot Nursing & Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (379 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 415 Ratings = 4.913
  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 Camelot Nursing & Residential Care Home is based on 35 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 36 registered maximum number of service users is 7.2, which has been reached with 35 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.
