The care and nursing staff work hard but often shorthanded which means dad is left in his chair when he would like to go to bed. Rooms need redecorating and refurnishing though bed is good.

Mum seems to be happy and settled here. Most of the staff treat her well - she said some are rougher than others. Mum enjoyed the visit by the zoo-lab.


My main criticism is to do with the wrong ambulance being ordered for mums hospital visit. This was extremely inconvenient and annoying. Mum had

got herself all geared up for her procedure and I had taken a day off work only for it to have to be cancelled due to an error by the home.

I have only experienced the care given in this home so my knowledge is not exactly wide. As far as I can tell, the care provided is up to "normal" standards.
Now and then, I have noted that staffing levels can fall short of the needs. Staff can be observed hurrying around trying to fit all their tasks
in time. However, I have not had any serious concerns about the level of care given to my mother.

My Sister-in-Law has only been a resident since June but the staff provided the facilities and refreshments for a lovely 80th celebration tea for 15+ people. Our overall experience so far has been good, with friendly staff always obliging to requests for assistance etc. My sister-in-Law, when questioned,
says she is well cared for and likes the staff. Whilst we all acknowledge this is sadly an unhappy and difficult period the staff do a very good job - our thanks to them.

Reply from Ronnie Cavanagh, Digital Marketing Executive at Stanshawes Care Home

I cannot praise the staff of this home highly enough.
Their professionalism was without question whilst at the same time maintaining a very friendly and informative approach. The manager and her team were definitely some of the best I have ever met! Thank you!

I enjoy living here but sometimes I get upset if my teeth aren't always brushed. I think the care is of a good standard but some carers are better than others. I enjoy the activities. I think the food isn't too bad. Living here is mostly ok.

I would like my room to be a bit bigger, but everything else is ok. I feel safe here and I get on well with the staff. The food is ok, but I would like a lot more variety. The home is clean. I am unable to attend group activities this is due to my medical needs and personal choice.

A lovely home and great carers the new staff are not so friendly as the older ones. It would be good to talk to mum when they are going by. Some work very hard and care but great activities. The room is a good size.

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.
