My father lived in Cavell House Care Home for just three months. He was always treated kindly and with dignity. All staff were so wonderful, managers, administrators, nurses, carers, entertainment coordinator, cleaners and other support workers were professional, efficient and took pride in doing a
great job. The home itself was clean and airy and always welcoming. While there, I felt my dad was well looked after - I felt looked after as well, they cared for me as much as Dad.

Thank you for the lovely review. It has been a pleasure to look after your father.

I cannot praise Cavell House Care Home enough. The love, care and support that she receives is excellent and I can come away each time I visit with peace of mind knowing that my mum is happy, safe and being well looked after. It is such a lovely, friendly place and really does feel like home. Thank
you to everyone who works there, you are all amazing.

I visited my father-in-law. As always, the staff were friendly and helpful. They all take time to speak to myself and my father when they pass by. There is a book so I can see what has been happening since my last visit. He has been here for about five years now. His care is great, and everyone is really
good, even when things are hard. I know my father can be difficult at times.

The staff at Cavell House Care Home are amazing and very caring. If there is any problem they call me straight away and keep me up to date with everything. My mum has dementia and is very happy there. Her room is lovely, bright and airy and also the food is very good.
I'm very happy with the care she
receives and always feel welcome when I go to visit.

Review from Pauline B (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 July 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
I have found that my mother has not been dressed properly, or rather hastily as the staff are running late, as I visit on a Sunday morning at 10.30 am, sometimes in someone else's trousers.
Also found that when the hoist mat is removed they do not pull up her trousers at the back making her uncomfortable
sitting in the wheelchair, therefore she is distressed.
I understand that there is a problem with staffing.

Thank you for your feedback. We apologise that your experience at Cavell House hasn't met your expectations, we will make sure that this is followed up by the Home Manager, with Best Wishes.

Our father received excellent care and all the staff showed a great deal of kindness and consideration to him. He had a lovely, bright room and it was a cosy home from home. We are so very grateful to the super team at Cavell House Care Home who helped to make the final journey of his life as comfortable
as possible and also supported our family so well along the way.

My brother was admitted to Cavell House Care Home in August 2020, suffering from two incurable conditions. At that time he was bed-bound, rarely eating or drinking sufficiently and not communicating. His condition has been completely transformed, to the extent that he can now do all that he couldn't
before. The staff have been extremely accommodating, despite the current Covid climate. If there has been anything required, the staff always supported the family's requests.

I have just come home after visiting my Great Uncle at Cavell House. I was blown away by the kindness of the staff and how my Uncle is being looked after. I was greeted in a professional manner and shown to my Uncle's room, which was very clean and tidy. I could only speak through the window to my Uncle
(due to him self isolating) but the staff had such a beaming smile and warm nature, I instantly knew that he was in safe hands. It is so comforting to know that my Uncle will spend his last days being treated with such care and dignity. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

The Covid 19 lockdown ran on throughout my sister's time at Cavell House so I am mostly judging and commenting on impressions from outside looking in. I am satisfied she was looked after as well as was possible. Staff were always far helpful and caring when I phoned or visited.

The team took excellent care of my father during the end of his life. The care, management and attention to my father cannot be faulted. Furthermore, their approach to the COVID virus crisis to ensure the safety of the patient and their co-workers was very diligent and thought through.

As I was an NHS patient at the home I cannot comment on value for money.

Despite the lockdown the home is coping admirably with Covid-19.
The only thing that is missing would be the outside entertainers to engage with the patients. The level of care from the staff is still at a high standard despite these terrible times. I confirm that I'm looking forward to resuming normal
visiting.

Overall my dad gets well looked after and if there are issues the manager is always on hand and approachable and she quickly improves the situation or explains why. She has created (with the staff) a home which is friendly, like a family, and my dad seems very settled here.

Whenever I visited my great aunt there was always a cheery welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The staff always made time for a brief chat and were extremely kind and understanding with auntie. After her death, they spoke to me of her last days and reassured me that she died peacefully and gave
her lots of hugs when she most needed them.

Although I live outside UK and can only visit my mother infrequently, Cavell House has always looked after her well, especially during these dangerous times. When my wife and I are able to visit, the staff, medical and managerial people have always been good. Management also communicates well in-between
visits.

No one wants to end up needing care home facilities. I found my stay to be both caring and having a sense of well being and security.
The staff all have hearts of gold, and their kindness is so evident.
They were always willing to help with my needs, and with a smile, even at the end long shifts.
If
I were ever to need a care home for whatever reason I would hope that it might be here, where I know I will get the care needed.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.388)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.388) out of 10 for Cavell House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 13 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 4.388 for Cavell House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (87 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (8 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 152 Ratings = 4.388
  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 Cavell House Care 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 52 registered maximum number of service users is 10.4, 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.
