My mum was looked after as if it was me, the care that was given was outstanding and she was treated with respect and kindness, the carers were amazing, nothing was too much trouble, and was always treated with dignity. I was always kept informed of mum's care and was able to be with her as she passed.
It was run by a dedicated team. I would have no problems recommending this nursing home to other people.

After an indifferent experience at another care home, our early anxieties were quickly dispelled by the friendliness of our reception and the very patient approach taken by the staff. This has been engaging, and my wife has settled down extremely well.

An exceptional place, full of people who are much more than just professional - for their humanity, humour, compassion and gentleness sets a standard for most other nursing homes. They never lose sight that their patients are people first and foremost, and not some generic "we".

My mum moved into Ilsham Valley nearly five years ago. On first meeting the manager, I was instantly put at ease. The staff are extremely friendly, very caring and supportive. They genuinely care for all residents living there.
When I visit Ilsham valley everyone is always very welcoming and nothing
is too much trouble. Ilsham Valley is like living with a family home from home.

We have visited a few times since lockdown and found systems in progress to be followed to the letter due to the Covid Pandemic. As we arrived today safety fire measures were being demonstrated to a member of staff which was very encouraging to know procedures were in place for evacuation if necessary.
My 97 year old aunt was admitted summer 2020 needing 24/7 nursing and personal care. She settled down extremely well although devastated to have to sell her home to fund her care. The love and care given has been second to none by the well led team. Lovely home cooked food and great entertainment.

Lovely atmosphere; staff all very kind, considerate and caring. Nothing was too much trouble to help my father settle in; he loves the home cooking; especially the puddings! They have been very attentive to his needs and wishes; visiting is relaxed and calm. I would thoroughly recommend Ilsham Valley
to anyone looking for nursing care.

My dad was transferred to Ilsham Valley after a spell in hospital when it was clear he would not be able to return to the family home.
Everyone was very supportive during this transition, always taking the time to answer any questions we might have.
The staff are superb, kind, supportive and caring,
and always make us feel welcome when we come to visit. My dad really couldn't be in a better place. The food is of a high standard, his room is always clean, fresh and at a comfortable temperature.
Originally we worried about my dad moving into a home. At Ilsham Valley we know he is safe, comfortable and very well looked after. We don't worry anymore. Thank you all so much!

My husband is extremely well looked after by the very caring staff. There is a homely air and my husband's interests were taken into account when decorating his room. The home-cooked food is to a standard he would have had at home, if not better! The care assistants are well supervised by the kindly
but efficient Matron.
Finding such a care home made the action of putting my husband in a Home so much less harrowing for me.

Nothing is too much trouble for the staff at Ilsham Valley Nursing Home. Covid-19 testing is safe so that residents are protected. My mother-in-law's health has improved since being a resident. She is looking forward to summer so she can enjoy the garden. Thank you everyone - fabulous job.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.367)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.367) out of 10 for Ilsham Valley Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 5 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 4.867 for Ilsham Valley Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (52 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.867

  • 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 4.5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ilsham Valley Nursing Home is based on 5 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 = 3.5

    • 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 23 registered maximum number of service users is 4.6, which has been reached with 5 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.
