Review from Eileen D (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 September 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother has been in Aabletone since the end of July having previously been in hospital for four weeks due to a fractured hip. The home is very welcoming with a bright and airy day room leading to a garden with a patio area surrounded by flowers. My mother’s room overlooks this lovely space and is
very light and sunny. The staff are very caring, friendly and professional and my mum is now thriving despite her great frailty. Her appetite has improved and she looks so much better than when she was in a previous residential home. Requests are promptly dealt with and I am constantly updated on any developments that occur. I am very happy that my mother will spend the rest of her life being so well cared for.
Reply from Aurelia, Head Office at Waltham House

I am extremely happy here and very much at home. There is a culture of kindness at this home which extends to all aspects of living here. It would be nice to have a bit more variety in the food - a bit less English. Also, it would be nice to have access to a minibus for trips instead of taxis.
I very
much hope to live out the rest of my happy days here.

Review from Jan H (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 September 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

My mum's been here since April and she's been happy from the beginning. She always receives excellent and friendly care from the staff who go out of their way to be supportive, both the domiciliary and nursing staff carry out their duties with good humour and a number have formed close relationships
with my mum, which is wonderful.
The accommodation is of a very high standard and the management is excellent. They always ensure that I am fully informed of any developments.
I feel very lucky that my mum has found such a good home.

Review from J B (Resident) published on 29 November 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have been very pleased with the care I have received at Aabletone. My worry is the staff are put among patients before being properly trained. There are times when they think it is not compulsory to make a bed. This is fine by me but there are times when I worry about patients who are not able to
make their wishes known. I am sure there are staff that would like to give that little extra care but they have not got the time as they are rushed.
Reply from Minal Desai, Operations Director at Waltham House

Hello,
We are glad to hear that you are very pleased with the care at Aabletone.
With regards to your concerns about staff not being trained properly, we always ensure that new starters work on shadow shifts enabling experienced staff to give them further hands-on training. With regards to the bedding, it is within our policies to ensure that beds are made each day and we employ the required level of domestic staff to facilitate this. We will most definitely be looking into this.


We would like to take this time to thank you for your review which is of great value to us.
With warm regards,
The team at Cedar Care

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.812)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.812) out of 10 for Waltham House 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 22 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 4.812 for Waltham House is calculated as follows: ( (214 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 261 Ratings = 4.812
  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 Waltham House 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 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, 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.
