A most excellent home. Staff were always friendly to residents and visitors. The personal care was regular and carried out to a high standard. I had full confidence that my wife was in the best hands. The building was clean and tidy, and the food was to a good standard.

My brother went to live at Apsley House in July. Straight away we were made to feel welcome. He was well cared for and he loved the outside area by the fountain. My brother passed away on 1st October 2022. They made his last few days peaceful. I was with him over those days and I was also well looked
after.

The care given to my mother is without fault. She seems as comfortable as is possible and always clean and tidy, which must be difficult as she is immobile and doubly incontinent. Very happy we decided to move Mum into Apsley House - 2 and a half years ago.

I have been impressed with everything about Apsley House. Despite my Dad (resident) being difficult, the staff have all been excellent, very attentive, and patient! The overall facility is lovely, in a great location and well run, yet with a welcome informality and friendly atmosphere.

The care provided in this nursing home is second to none. It has a very homely feel about it, with its resident cat and home-cooked food. The staff treat my husband with courtesy and respect and the nursing care is excellent. The activities provided for the residents is interesting and varied. The management
of this home is highly effective - I cannot recommend it enough.

My mother was cared for with dignity and humility, and all of the staff were caring and supportive of us as a family when my mother passed. The care home is in a beautiful setting and I know my mother is now at peace.

You are an amazing and incredible team! We are eternally grateful for all the love, care and kindness you showed our Mum at her end of life. Mum was very happy at your residence and just what she needed for a short time of relaxation and contentment. Living with glaucoma definitely put a huge strain
on her very capable self. Many thanks again......Superb!

I would like to thank the management and staff for caring from my Mother from February 2020 to July 2020 when she passed away, being very well cared for. Everyone was so helpful and kind and sometimes Mum would leave her phone on by a mistake after we said goodbye and I could hear the staff caring (and
having a laugh) with Mum and they wouldn't have known. Mum said the food was fantastic too. Thank you for looking after our lovely Mum (I live in Australia and it was very reassuring that I could be in touch 24 hours a day). The manager in charge is just amazing.

My friend's nan has been a resident at the home for over three years. The care that the staff provide is second to none, they are always there to help and provide support whenever we need it. The chef is award winning for her home-cooked foods and sublime daily menu's. Nothing is too much for her. The
home is very clean and very homely, its just like a home from home. The daily activities and outings are superb and lots of fun. Keep up the good work. Management are always making improvements to the enviorment making it modern with a very homely atmophere.

My mother arrived at Royal Bay Nursing Home following a stroke that left her unable to more herself around. The care, support and professionalism of the nurses and carers was excellent. They did everything possible to make Mum as comfortable as possible during the last few months of her life.

Review from Dave H (Son of Resident) published on 20 January 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My late mum was admitted to the home on 31.12.15, suffering from terminal cancer. She passed away peacefully on 06.01.16.


The home was chosen, by us as a family, having met and been impressed with the manager's vast experience and warmth in this area, which came at a difficult time for our family.

The home was also strongly recommended by other health care professionals, which was very encouraging. During mum's stay, she was attended to and made to feel as comfortable as possible, for the remaining time left of her life, by the staff, whose kindness was also extended to us as a family and meant that when the end inevitable came, though it was a huge and devastating loss for us, the RB staff made it as easy as possible.


Highly recommended

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.668)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.668) out of 10 for Apsley House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.668 for Apsley House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (237 Excellents x 5) + (52 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 307 Ratings = 4.668
  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 Apsley House Care Home is based on 25 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 35 registered maximum number of service users is 7, which has been reached with 25 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.
