Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All the staff are so friendly. Regularly cleaned throughout. Regular activities for the residents, sometimes out of the home, which we didn't think our dad would be able to do again. Birthday gifts and cake, along with Christmas and Easter too. Communication is good - if there has been a problem, someone
from the home has called without delay.
Highly recommend.

I understand from the manager at Mount Olivet that your father is a joy to care for and she is pleased to hear you are happy with the, perhaps unexpected, progress your dad is making. Your comments and feedback will be passed on to everyone, so thank you for providing this.

The quality of palliative care my wife is receiving at Mount Olivet Nursing Home is excellent. The nursing staff and the carers are always attentive to her needs during both day and night. The manager is very friendly and is always there to help with your needs and concerns. The quality of food is excellent.
I am very happy we chose Mount Olivet.

I was admitted to Mount Olivet on the 15th of December 2022 from the hospital following a complex hip replacement. I was discharged home on the 17th of January. During my time in Mount Olivet, I developed pneumonia and was so grateful for the care I received. I found all the staff most professional
and would certainly recommend Mount Olivet as an excellent nursing home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A lovely, well-run and clean nursing home for my dad's last few days. He had a lovely sunny room with French windows looking onto a beautiful garden. The staff were so caring and kind to Dad and our family. Nothing was too much trouble. They went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable, pain-free
and comforted right to the end. Every day he was always clean and tidy. Just as he would want. With fresh clothes and bedding. The food was excellent. Every effort was made to make his specialised eating plan as palatable as possible. On his last day, we were looked after with numerous cups of tea and food. The staff treated Dad and family with compassion, respect and dignity. Thank you so much.

The home is dirty. Has a beautiful conservatory but after the roof blinds fell off in February 2023 when the sun is out it's out of use. When it rains it leaks! The lounge took five months to decorate and is used more by staff than by residents. After making complaints we were accused of micro-managing
staff. We have now moved homes with another resident. The CQC was inspecting in April 2023 and we are awaiting the report. I feel sorry for the poor people who have no one to speak for them.
Reply from Carole Wood, Finance & Operations Manager at Mount Olivet Nursing Home

Thank you for your review. We are saddened but not surprised. We take feedback seriously to ensure we provide the very best care. Audits and feedback show the home is very clean and passed strict Infection Control checks from CQC and the Trust. Entry is by keycode and visitors must sign in before entry. Sadly, the lounge took 3 (not 5) months due to supplier delays, now enjoyed by all. You and your guests made daily use of the airy conservatory and were provided with refreshments by our dedicated team. The ceiling blind was quickly replaced by a UV filter film. As it gets full sun, it will get warm in sunnier times but not closed. You also used the pretty garden during your visits. The team set up a gazebo, seating and drinks for you.


The “micro-managing” feedback was explained clearly in our letter to you regarding your appalling conduct, not due to a formal complaint which doesn’t exist. We had many reports of your abuse to HCAs. We will never tolerate abuse. We hope your brother is now settled.

The staff are very caring and competent. They seem like extended family and it is reassuring that my aunt is in such a friendly home. The home is very clean. The food is excellent. Activities for the residents take place and now that visiting restrictions have been eased they happen more often.
My

Our dad has resided at Mount Olivet for over 5 years now. He has late-stage Parkinson's Disease. Despite Dad's very poor health, he is treated so very well by all the staff, they all love him and that really comes across. Dad also has a lovely room with sea views so we feel very blessed as a family
that he has the best care. Every time we visit, Dad is always clean shaven and dressed. The home is kept very clean and there is plenty of staff so it is very well run. We are most grateful that Dad is at Mount Olivet.

My mother was taken ill with a urinary infection, the paramedics were called and discussed with me if she should go to hospital, they said long queue at A&E so the lovely nurses agreed to look after her. The night nurse spent most of the night with her as she was so worried. All the nurses and care
staff looked after her and got her better. So thank you one and all, that includes the cleaning staff who keep things spotless and always with a smile.

It is a wonderful home from home and the care that is given to my mum is 100%. Yesterday was Mothering Sunday and they went out of their way and provided a wonderful cream tea experience for me, my mum, sister and brother-in-law, which was very delicious and all homemade.

Review from Trish v (Daughter of Resident) published on 31 March 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After two and half years of not seeing Mum due to COVID, finally, we were able to fly from Australia.
The staff - manager/carers/cleaners/catering helped make our visit to Mount Olive work. Pre trip to UK, via telephone/email the structure for visiting was organised - it worked like a dream. Each day
Mum looked comfortable and fresh. The staff demonstrated the most amazing patience with Mum when she became frustrated/upset. Her nutritional status was constantly monitored through out the day.
Face time calls from Australia are always supported despite the challenge of time difference. We appreciate the communication provided when there is an issue/concern.
The workers of Mount Olive are always welcoming plus, with the standard of care they give the residents, are a credit to Mount Olive. We are so happy knowing Mum is with Mount Olive, receiving holistic care (physical/mental), spending her last years being pampered, respected and given the dignity any person in her unfortunate situation, post stoke, deserves. A big thank you!
Reply from Carole Wood, Finance & Operations Manager at Mount Olivet Nursing Home

Thank you for your kind words. We are so pleased we were able to ensure you spent quality time with your mum and we were more than happy to keep in regular contact to ensure this could be organised. It's a real source of pride to our employees that we can make these things happen.

I have been impressed and delighted by every aspect of Mum's care here. She is treated with kindness, respect with attention to every detail. Staff are professional, cheerful, communicative, patient and go above and beyond to ensure the job they do is high quality. Mum has a beautiful room which makes
visiting for the family much easier along with the ability to go downstairs and make ourselves a cuppa. All the systems that you might expect are in place. Mount Olivet is wonderful and an answer to prayer.

Everyone wants to know their relative is being looked after with professionalism, kindness and respect. I feel all of these are being delivered by the manager and her team. Most important to me is the fact that everyone I meet is kin, really kind to us, as a family. They take time to talk to us, communicate
what is going on and look after the whole family. I always feel welcome. I feel content that mum is being looked after safely and kindly when I’m not there.
The property is lovely. Mum isn’t able to appreciate that too much but spending lots of time there at the moment, the family does. The home goes that extra mile to care. I can’t think of any ‘constructive criticism’ to add, it's all been good. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.777)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.777) out of 10 for Mount Olivet Nursing Home 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.777 for Mount Olivet Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (210 Excellents x 5) + (58 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 269 Ratings = 4.777
  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 Mount Olivet Nursing Home is based on 24 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 24 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.
