Cavell House has a very happy and positive atmosphere. The nurses are kind, happy and efficient. The rooms are comfortable. The food is good, the amenities satisfactory and the medical care good. I cannot comment on the value for money as I did not have to pay. But I would recommend it to anyone.

My father is getting back to his old self and I would like to thank the staff here for that. He is on the mend from his mental state that was very bad about 6 months ago. He likes the staff and Cavell House, which I thank them for this. I did not want to put him in a home but he wanted to so it wasn't
a decision and I am so glad I did. Thank you all the staff at Cavell House.

The staff are helpful, kind things to do like days out. The food is very good. Very clean. Cavell House feels like a home from home. The manager is very kind and she gets things done and she is warm. The manager is also very easy to talk to. The staff always ask me what I want and nothing is too much
trouble.

Review from Deirdre R (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 May 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Cavell House was by far the best home out of six I viewed when trying to find a home for my 86 year old Mother. Her words are 'It's not home - but it's the nearest to home there is'. There is always a happy atmosphere and laughter and chit chat is always apparent. The food is excellent and in abundance.
Residents families are encouraged to join in activities, for example, lunch on Mothers Day.

The staff are so patient and kind with Mum and it is a joy and comfort to our family to hear her engaged with them in a happy way. The chefs are to be commended for the delicious meals - served in the beautifully laid dining room. Cavell House is a 'home from home' and the atmosphere is welcoming.

My mother-in-law is very content at Cavell House and very much enjoys the food. There are always fresh flowers on the dining tables and throughout the communal areas, and the home is clean and never has an unpleasant odour so often present in similar residential establishments. Thank you to the wonderful
staff for their care towards her.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot fault the care provided to Dad from all the staff at Cavell House. It was hard for him to have to accept entering a care home, however, the company, help, support and love shown to him have helped him settle and feel at home and over two years, really feel part of the family here. He eats like
a king. His room is always clean and tidy and there always seems to be something happening. We couldn't be happier with his care.

This provides a great environment for my mother. She is well looked after and treated with respect.
As my mother suffers from advanced dementia, it is often difficult to communicate and encourage her to participate in activities but they persevere and the activity coordinator is excellent.
We are
so pleased we chose Cavell House - we have peace of mind.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Whilst many improvements to the general fabric of the interior have been made, which enhances the experience of both residents and visitors, there appears to be a need to improve food quality, choice of menu and presentation on a daily basis.
For special occasions, a great effort is made to make food
enjoyable and well presented.
The new manager from Autumn 2018 is approachable and has done a great job in bringing the care home to a better standard.
Reply from Nikki Stevenson, Home Manager at Cavell House Care Home

Sorry to hear that you are not completely satisfied with all the meals. I am pleased to inform you that we now have a new head chef in place and the menus will be revisited. I also would like to make you aware that there are always alternatives and other options available so please ask.

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.
