This home is ok for older people who are partially bedbound. Not suitable for stroke patients needing 24-hour care. My son was not cooperative at times due to frustration.

My mother entered the home in 2017, and she has always been looked after very well; she is treated with respect and kindness. The meals served always look very appetising. Mum was always dressed nicely, but I wish they would hang up her clothes and not stuff them in the draws.

The home has gone above and beyond to provide good care and safety to its residents, especially over the last 18-months. My mum has dementia and mental health (long-standing) problems. The home has managed her care and anxiety with empathy and compassion. They are truly amazing. I would definitely recommend
the home. Their response to Covid and keeping it out of the home clearly shows their high standards. Mum loves the activities and the staff. She is very happy there. I couldn't ask for more.

The staff are extremely helpful, caring and understanding. In a difficult situation, they have made the family comfortable with a hard decision, and we are confident that Mum is being provided with the best care. I am kept fully informed at all times with every detail of Mums care, health and wellbeing,
which is very assuring for the family.

The care home is very welcoming and the staff make you feel part of the team. The staff go that extra mile to give the residents what they need and have made the covid 19 lockdown so much easier for everyone. I have been assisting with activities to enable them to offer more visits etc and love chatting
with the residents and helping do their new vegetable garden.

I think the care home is very nice and the staff go out of their way to make us feel welcome and safe. They really do take care of us. The activities are really good, especially when we have special events with singer’s, and the food is very nice. I think us residents are very spoilt for choice with
everything.

Mum has been a resident for several years and is very pleased with the level of care she receives, and also with the response to her concerns when things go wrong.
I find the staff friendly, helpful, and most of all, willing to support whenever we request something from them.

Thank you for taking the time to complete the review, and rating the teams hard work, I will share this with the staff team. As always, we will continue to provide our best standard of care to your Mother and all of our residents.

Mum has been in Stanshawes for four years. The home had reacted quickly to the current situation. They have kept the residents safe. Mum's birthday 12th December was originally going to involve a visit in the pod but had to be cancelled and they had to lockdown. However, the entertainment coordinator
organised a zoom call for the family. Mum loved it.
Thank you Stanshawes for the wonderful job you are doing.

Although the management has been extremely careful about Covid, they are not taking the residents mental health into consideration. We are so lucky that the carers are so friendly and kind to the residents.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.793)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.793) out of 10 for Stanshawes Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.793 for Stanshawes Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (132 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 164 Ratings = 4.793

  • 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 Stanshawes Care Home is based on 14 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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, which has been reached with 14 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.
