Review from J D (Power of Attorney of Resident) published on 16 April 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We moved our friend for whom we had POA to PCNH in April 1925 when her Care Home closed down. At that stage she was rapidly loosing her mobility and soon became permanently bedridden. Having been allocated a rather dark isolated room initially we managed to move her to a brighter room with double aspect
and a gorgeous view after a while. She loved this and it made all the difference to her last months without doubt. The staff were incredibly supportive and kind even though she could be quite challenging at times! They gave her the respect and care needed at all times particularly in those final days. We were so grateful and felt supported at all times.

An outstanding care home, my father stayed here for the last days of his life, I was able to come in now any time I wanted, the care he received was in my mind outstanding, all of the staff cared for him as if he was there own father, I also built good relationships with the staff team, they welcomed
me and supported me through this process, I was welcome to have lunch there at any time for a very small nominal fee which really helps with everything else I was trying to manage, the gardens are beautiful, the rooms are to high standard, the carers exceptional, the food is unbelievable, I was able to receive funding for my father to be up to step it with cottage felt like we hit the jackpot as I cannot imagine a care home better run with better staff,


Thank you so much to the staff of cottage

Over the two and a half years that my friend was resident at PCNH I always felt that he was in safe hands, well cared for and nothing was too much trouble for those caring for him. All staff were patient, kind and attentive to the residents' needs.
Reply from Yvonne Stout, Manager at Petworth Cottage Nursing HomeThank you for you kind words.
It's good to know that your friend felt safe and well cared for - we will feed that back to the team.

Review from M F (Son of Resident) published on 4 April 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was accepted as a resident at PCNH following a ten week period in hospital where she was moved around from hospital to hospital and ward to ward without any concrete diagnosis. The family felt she just needed a stable, consistent and caring environment to either, hopefully improve her health
or, face the inevitable.


And that indeed is what she got, right from before moving in and the admissions process. It was evident even then that the staff involved with that process were so caring and understanding of not just my mother's predicament but also the family's.


From the day she moved in the care and attention were first class and even better than we had been led to believe. There were always staff available to help, nothing was too much trouble and the friendliness, from junior staff to the highest level was humbling. Oh, and the food and cake were tremendous!


Sadly my mother only lived a short while at PCNH but we couldn't have wished for more for her final few weeks.

My father was taken into Petworth Cottage Nursing Home for his end-of-life care, where he was welcomed by all of the staff and made to feel very comfortable on his arrival.


All of the staff at Petworth were incredibly kind and caring to both my father and our family during such a difficult time. We

were given full use of the facilities during our visits, which helped us spend as much meaningful time together as possible.


The compassion, respect, and dignity shown to my father throughout his care meant a great deal to us, and we will always be grateful for the support we received.

Reply from Yvonne Stout, Manager at Petworth Cottage Nursing HomeThank you so much for sharing such a heartfelt reflection on your father's time with us. It means a great deal to hear that he was warmly welcomed and made to feel comfortable from the very beginning.
We are very grateful for your kind words about our team. Knowing that both your father and your family felt supported with kindness, compassion, and dignity during such a difficult time means so much.
We are especially pleased that you were able to make full use of the facilities and spend meaningful time together-those moments are so important, and we're glad we could help make that possible.
Your words about the care your father received, and the respect shown to him throughout, will be shared with the whole team - your feedback is deeply appreciated.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.249)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.249) out of 10 for Petworth Cottage Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 6 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 4.761 for Petworth Cottage Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (52 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 67 Ratings = 4.761
  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 4.488 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Petworth Cottage Nursing Home is based on 6 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 = 3.55
    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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 6.4 = 0.938
  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.
