My wife was submitted to Pendean House for rehabilitation following an operation. She was in Pendean House for 3 months and received excellent service from staff at all times while there.
Food was very good and the accommodation was first class, clean and comfortable. Activities were available everyday
if wanted. A number of staff had stayed for years.

Reply from Greta Narbutaityte, Customer Adviser at Pendean House Care Home

Thank you for your kind words. We are happy to hear your wife enjoyed her stay with us. We hope to see you again soon.

We can return home to Perth, Western Australia, knowing our dear mum will be safe and cared for at Pendean House. Most of all we are happy Mum has every care and respect from all the staff at Pendean House. We can't thank them enough for all the kindness and reassurance. Without a doubt, we would recommend
Pendean House Care Home.

My father has just become resident and so I can only comment on limited experience. However, so far I have found staff to be extremely helpful and thorough, and kind and respectful towards my Dad. They have answered all our questions efficiently, and have helped us through the process without a 'hard
sell' attitude. Everything appears to be good, however, it's too early to grade certain categories.

When a patient stabilises in a hospice the relatives, already in a fragile state, are thrown into further confusion. Pendean House ironed out all worries and fears giving our mother a safe, secure, caring environment in which she has thrived. Nothing is too much trouble at this wonderful haven.
The
staff are not just kind, they are 100% committed to the care of their patients. I bless the day I made the tentative enquiry that Mum can be looked after in this beautiful place.
Thank you to all at Pendean House so much.

I have visited Pendean House three times so far. My friend is extremely pleased with his care and gets on well with all the staff. I have talked to staff myself and found them genuinely interested in making residents as relaxed and comfortable as possible. I have had two lunches with my friend in care
that have been good food and happy events.

Reply from Jayne Duck, Customer services administrator at Pendean House Care Home

Thank you for your review. I'm so glad to hear that your friend is happy and well cared for in our care. I hope that you enjoy many more lunches with your friend and maybe take part in some of the activities available.

My sister has received the most wonderful care in her last days. The staff were excellent in caring for her, but as important was the care they have shown to all her relatives and visitors. I have not experienced such tenderness and concern for the patient's relatives before, it was very humbling and
very appreciated by us all.

Reply from Jayne Duck, Customer services administrator at Pendean House Care Home

So sorry to hear about your loss, please accept our condolences. Thank you for your review and such kind words about our staff. I'm so glad to hear that the care for you and your relatives was just as important as the care was for your sister and hope that in time to come this will be of some comfort to you all.

My husband was taken to Pendean House for palliative care. He was treated with the utmost care and extremely well looked after, we were all made to feel welcome and everyone was very helpful.
I would recommend Pendean House to everyone and could not be more grateful to the staff who took great care
of him.

The staff at Pendean are utterly brilliant. They have supported my sister and I, in what has been a really difficult time, following mum's admission on palliative care grounds. They treat mum with dignity and care, always with a smile on their face. Nothing is too much for them, they are happy to help
with any requests we have and to answer any questions we have. They are all full of love and care, one big happy family that work as a team perfectly.
The home itself is immaculate. Beautifully clean and fresh. Lovely rooms and great choices of food. The setting and gardens of Pendean are just beautiful and a welcoming place to visit and to sit and reflect.
I couldn't be happier with our choice of home for mum. We struck gold.

I last visited Pendean in 2005 when my mother was a resident until her death. In those days the telephone system was excellent. It is now appalling, often requiring two calls to contact the residents if not in the room. Please do something to remedy this ridiculous situation which is annoying and frustrating.
Otherwise, the care, staff, management and food are excellent. Don't spoil the ship for a ha'p'orth of tar.

Reply from Simone Berkeley, Customer Service Advisor at Pendean House Care Home

Thank you for your review. Your comments are extremely important to us. We have recently upgraded our phone systems and the options have changed slightly, if you try an extension and the line is busy, it could be due the mealtime periods or the resident being out of their room if the call re-routes you please advise so we can look into this. Apologies for any delays with getting through to the home. We will discuss your feedback with the home’s manager to help them continually improve the service.

My mother had a stroke mid-June 2016, she stayed at Pendean House Care Home after coming our of hospital and before returning home. My initial contact with Pendean was extremely reassuring. A nurse visited mum in hospital to carry out an assessment of her needs. All the Pendean House staff provided
her and the visitors with a warm welcome. Mum found all the staff helpful efficient and mentally stimulating which was very important after her stay in hospital. Pendean House Care Home helped me find a great physio who came into the home to provided physio support which was fundamental to mums recovery.

She is being cared for in a wonderful way. The house is beautiful. The facilities excellent. The staff are absolutely superb. I and my

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.593)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.593) out of 10 for Pendean House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.593 for Pendean House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (243 Excellents x 5) + (109 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 371 Ratings = 4.593

  • 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 Pendean House Care Home is based on 32 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 32 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.

Job Title: Senior Care Assistant

Joined: 2010

I am a Senior Care Assistant at Pendean House as well as an Engagement Champion and Fire Trainer.


When my dad died from cancer his care wasn't the best. I started working with a home care agency and later came to Pendean in the hope I could make a difference in people's lives.


What I love most about working at a care home is that every day is different and I have the privilege of assisting our elderly residents in their day-to-day life at Pendean House.


Outside of work, I am mum to 5 amazing children and I am slightly animal crazy! My dream is to swim with pigs in the Bahamas!
