My dad was in Mount Olive for just over a year and I was extremely happy with the care he received there. The staff were very caring and treated him with a lot of dignity. The manager was outstanding and always made time to talk to me about dad and regularly spent time with dad too. I wouldn't hesitate
in recommending this home to friends and family.
Reply from Karen Dykes, Manager at Mount Olivet Nursing Home

We are very grateful for your positive feedback. Thank you for taking the time, it was our pleasure to provide care for Dad.

My brother was in two previous homes which were certainly unsatisfactory in terms of quality of staff and facilities. Mount Olivet is significantly better in all respects and meets our families expectations after previous bad experiences.

Having seen a variety of nursing and care homes I was impressed by the high standard of care that Mount Olivet provides.
My father in law receives loving and caring attention at all times of the day and night. He was respected and listened to and we were always informed of his condition.

My father was in Mount Olivet Nursing Home for a year. I cannot thank the staff enough for the love and dignity they gave to my father and to us as a family. Their end of life care was exceptional. They guided us through this difficult time with sensitivity and understanding. I would highly recommend
this wonderful home.
Reply from Karen Dykes, Manager at Mount Olivet Nursing Home

Thank you, Sally, from us all Mount Olivet. Dad will be greatly missed, it was an honour for us all to care for him and meet all his family. Please stay in touch and I look forward to your emails.

I cannot speak highly enough of the care and respect with which my sister was looked after at Mount Olivet. She was terminally ill and spent the final 5 months of her life there. The staff cared for her and her family throughout her period there as caringly as they did for her.
Reply from Karen Dykes, Manager at Mount Olivet Nursing Home

It was our pleasure to care for your sister and to get to know all of her family over the time she was here with us. We are very grateful for that lovely feedback, we wish you well.

My Aunt spent the last two weeks of her life in Mount Olivet home. The standard of care was excellent. The staff were so caring, thoughtful and attentive. She told me that they were amazing in the way they cared for her (as she had been a director of nurse education that was high praise). Turned her
regularly, brushed her hair and treated her with great dignity. Everything was also very clean. We could not have asked for more. Thank you.

From the time my sister was admitted for care, everyone was kindness itself and couldn't have been more helpful.
She was extremely happy, although very ill, felt wanted and loved.
Nothing was too much trouble and if she asked for anything it was immediately brought.
Thank you all for making her last
days so comfortable.

Wonderfully caring, nothing too much trouble for my dad and the family. They all are angels and I don't think there could be a better place to be. I cannot speak too highly of them. Words cannot express the wonderful care they give, something I never will forget and I cannot thank them enough.
God
bless them all for the work they do.

A lovely nursing home, I work away at sea knowing my mum is well cared for. Very kind and caring staff. My mum who has suffered several strokes is unable to do anything except say very few words. She is in a very caring, well-managed place where the staff manage to make her laugh in a cruel existence.
The whole ambience of the nursing home is a home of great care and management. My mum is very happy there. My mum enjoys pet/dog visits and wants them daily!! Thank you.

Review from Christine W (Friend of Resident) published on 2 November 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My first visit to the care home showed clearly why it had received an 'outstanding' rating in the CQC report. The level of concern for the resident and for his friends/family was immediately obvious and the attention to detail of the resident's needs was remarkable.
The level of concern shown regarding
the move from hospital was also very encouraging. It was very clear that the priority was well-being of the resident. This has been maintained since.
The complex medical needs, including arrangement of medical appointments, are dealt with in a professional and very organised manner. Every member of the staff, not only the 'front line' nursing staff but also those working to maintain the building or launder clothes, are respectful, kind, pleasant, supportive and upbeat.
The nursing staff are always ready to listen to concerns about our resident friend. It is very challenging to engage all residents in activities. We would like to see our friend interact more, but he is reluctant to do so.
Reply from Karen Dykes, Manager at Mount Olivet Nursing Home

Thank you Christine for that extremely positive feedback for the home and staff. It is great that we feel we can implement the care that our residents deserve. We will continue to support and encourage your friend in all his choices, wishes and beliefs.

My friend moved into Mount Olivet 2 1/2 years ago after she had fractured her left femur. Since that time sadly her dementia slowly took away her ability to do things for herself. The nursing and care staff at Mount Olivet always put my friend's personal welfare and dignity first. She could not have
been better cared for and was treated with both respect and affection. Sadly, my friend died at the end of August but she was well cared for to the end and died in her own room with those who cared for her by her side and she was at peace.
Reply from Karen Dykes, Manager at Mount Olivet Nursing Home

A very sad loss for you and us. It was an honour to have known and cared for such a lovely lady. Our thoughts are with you and all the staff at Mount Olivet thank you for taking the time to put your thoughts into this review.

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.
