Review from Stephen B (Son of Resident) published on 1 March 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has been staying at Pinewood now since he was 99 years old. He has just enjoyed his 103rd Birthday with a beautiful cake made by Pinewood’s cook. My sister and I have always known that our father has had a lot of friendly care at Pinewood and he looks forward to the weekly trips out in the
minibus. There is always a friendly response when we call to speak to our father and nothing seems to be too much trouble for them.
Reply from Philip Sadeghi, Director at Pinewood Residential Home

Thank you, Stephen. We all think your Dad is a star and is doing so well in his 103rd year.

I have nothing but the highest praise for Pinewood Residential Home! The management, staff and carers were wonderful. They were always polite whenever I rang or visited and nothing was too much trouble for them. Obviously, due to Covid, visits were restricted and it was reassuring to know every effort
was being made to keep everyone safe. At first, visits were outside in the gazebo and all safety precautions were taken. Mum was wheeled out, always clean and well wrapped up. On my last visit, we were able to use the wonderful new visitor's room which made such a difference. During one visit I was presented with a lovely soap, card and a photo of Mum - I think the soap had been made during activities. They also had a wonderful party in the summer with music, cakes and balloons. Mum loved her food and had always been a good cook and was quite fussy. She told me the food was lovely! I am so grateful to all at Pinewood who made Mum's last months so happy.

I have been in the home since 17th of March 2020. The service provided by the care assistant thas been first-class and the treatment and standard of work second to none. Nothing has been too much trouble for her. When times have been very busy, she has handles the situation well without any fuss and
in a very polite and dignified manner. She is a credit to the residential home and I would recommend her strongly to any resident wishing to come here.

Review from Patrick L (Son of Resident) published on 19 January 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our mother was admitted to Pinewood as an emergency owing to her frail health in March 2018. They nursed her back to health and monitored her recovery very well. She lived there for nearly three years, dying peacefully at the end of December 2020. She was very happy with the home, and she loved her
room, with its view of the beach. The staff were unfailingly kind and responsive to her. The home also coped extremely well with the unusual Court of Protection case we needed to bring to protect her from herself.


Although in the last year with lockdown, visits were curtailed, the home, made every attempt to permit visits, deeming the mental health of patients as important as their physical health: they built a special room to permit visits. In her last days, they allowed visits to say our farewells, which many homes did not. For that, we are very grateful. I have no hesitation in recommending this home very highly for their combination of compassion and practical good sense.

I am very pleased with how the staff provided care for me, their teamwork is brilliant and didn't make me feel rushed. The home has been nice to live in and is full of laughter. The food here is delicious and I have enjoyed getting to know everyone and it upsets me when people leave.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The home is always clean and welcoming with nice touches like a well-laid dining table for those who eat together. The food is good and residents choices are respected. The laundry service is excellent with clothes being returned promptly to the resident. There is a programme of optional activities
and attempts are made to make them appropriate to the individual's abilities. The programme of regular, interesting outings was a real bonus for my father and residents are taken in the minibus owned by the home. Rooms are bright, well furnished and well maintained.

My brother was transferred to Pinewood from a hospital in Stoke on Trent following multiple strokes. The care he received was excellent. The staff were welcoming and made his last month comfortable. They were understanding and did their best for him, always respecting his dignity and seemed to genuinely
care for him. When we visited we were also made to feel welcome.

Thank you so much for your review. We pride ourselves on having the most caring staff and train them to the best standards we can.

We were truly impressed with the professional, thoughtful, compassionate and kind care that my mother received. She could not have been in a better home in her final months. The staff always gave us time and listened to any concerns. It was well maintained, clean and the meals were excellent. There
were many activities provided for entertainment, stimulation and social interaction.

It is very hard for anyone to enter someone into a nursing home.
This particular home is one embraces the situation you will receive the most wonderful support threefold. Every resident has individual attention and utmost dignity. The nursing is of such a high calibre a general hospital would be impressed.
The background staff are also to be congratulated as they often receive no recognition.

It was our brother's 81st birthday and the attention and care the staff gave him on this special day was memorable with cake, card and present. He has been in Pinewood for 3 years and in this time has been happy with the care he receives and the friendliness of everyone there. As relatives, we are so
pleased to see him contented. We ourselves are always made welcome by the staff each time we visit and note how clean and tidy everywhere is kept.

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.285)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.285) out of 10 for Pinewood Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 4 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 4.339 for Pinewood Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (38 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 59 Ratings = 4.339
  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 3.946 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Pinewood Residential Home is based on 4 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 = 3.375
    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. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 7 = 0.571
  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.
