Every time I visit Rendlesham Care Centre I am so impressed with the home and the service given to the residents. It is a home from home. Everyone looks happy and content and nothing is too much from the whole team who are all so happy to help.
The activities in the home are very good, always something
going on. The hospitality and food is very impressive. My relative always says how much he enjoys the meals and how much choice there is.
The care team are very considerate and seems to really care. The home is always clean, tidy and smells nice.
I have met the Manager on several occasions and she seems very lovely and professional.
Thank you to everyone for all you do.
Reply from Home Manager, Home Manager at RendleshamThank you for taking the time to leave us a review and we appreciate your feedback about our home and team, it is wonderful to hear that your loved one is enjoying the food and activities, we always want it to be a home from home for all our residents and their families when they visit so are pleased this is the case.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum who is 97 years old joined Rendlesham Care Home in March 2024 having had a fall at home and then was unwilling to walk. She has short-term memory loss and was correctly allocated into a mild dementia unit where there are similar residents. From day 1 she has been very well looked after and both
her and I are content and happy with her placement. I visit 6 times a week and also enjoy the regular management meetings with relatives. I enjoy the interactions with management and staff and feel my comments and suggestions are welcomed. I can easily talk to the staff to get daily updates on how Mum is doing. Security of possessions has really improved with the addition of one-to-one support for some walking residents. I was the dressed-up Father Christmas last December and had fun with the staff's elves and with all the residents. I'm pleased that the home now has 3 events people and can see the variety of events they organise, hopefully, some trips out soon in the minibus.
Reply from Home Manager, Home Manager at RendleshamMany thanks for your lovely comments and we are pleased that your Mum has settled in at Rendlesham and you are happy with her care, we value feedback and suggestions and are pleased you are happy with these interactions with the team along with the variety of activities being offered, our resident's happiness and wellbeing is our priority. We also appreciate you dressing up as Father Christmas in our festive celebrations and that you had fun.

Outstanding care for our precious Mum over the past 18 months. All those who work there really care about my Mum (reception, housekeeping, and hospitality included) and go the extra mile to make sure the best is being done for her. It's been a tough journey getting here, as all those with family needing
care will know, all made so much easier with the support of Rendlesham Care Centre.
Reply from Home Manager, Rendlesham Care Centre at RendleshamMany thanks for your lovely review and it is our privilege to care for your mum and all our residents as part of our family at Rendlesham, we are pleased to hear our support through the journey has helped to make it easier for your family.

My mum was only at Rendlesham Care Centre for a short time but the care and attention she received was fantastic. As a family, it was a very hard time for us but knowing how well she was being looked after made it easier.
The staff are friendly, caring and above all, supportive of both residents and
visitors.
I actually cannot recommend them enough.
They treated Mum with dignity and respect throughout her stay and I thank them for that.

Since my mother has been moved to Oak 1 I have seen a big improvement as she is sitting in the day room with the other residents in an armchair instead of a wheelchair during the day. She looks more alert and we have been able to communicate with her on each of our visits lasting one hour.

I am so happy that we have found this care home for my mum and dad. Everyone is kind and friendly, my parents have settled well and they enjoy the food and activities. Everything has been thought of for the resident's comfort and well-being. My mum likes her room and enjoys having her hair done. Milo,
the dog, is a big hit.

After Rendlesham Care Centre took my mum in, back in August she has improved tenfold. My father has been visiting her here on a daily basis. The home has been very helpful towards my father who also has dementia and is also keeping an eye on him for me. It has now come to the point where my dad needs
constant care. I feel totally reassured by the fact that my dad is coming here as the care I have witnessed is absolutely excellent.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.401)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.401) out of 10 for Rendlesham 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.401 for Rendlesham is calculated as follows: ( (179 Excellents x 5) + (69 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (16 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 279 Ratings = 4.401
  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 Rendlesham is based on 22 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 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 22 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.
