  • Abbey View Nursing & Residential Home, Sherborne
Abbey View is ideally located in the historic English country town of Sherborne and is only a few minutes walk from the abbey, the old town and its amenities. Abbey View offers tasteful comfort in a warm and friendly setting.

From the welcoming reception area to the spacious lounges and dining room at Abbey View the comfort of residents is paramount.

Residents enjoy companionship and can join in with singing, music, exercise and arts and crafts sessions. There is the opportunity for gentle gardening activities in the summer sunshine, and there is a busy pen pal scheme.
The home is registered for nursing care and staffed by dedicated nurses and health care professionals with extensive experience in caring for age-related conditions and fully trained in infection control.

The fully equipped hairdressing salon is a favourite with the ladies and the garden area is popular for a gentle walk. A variety of specialist bathrooms including the luxury of a hydrotherapy bath are available for the residents to enjoy.

Together with excellent care and health-related services, Abbey View residents enjoy a wide range of activities and themed days organised by the owners to make for an enjoyable day-to-day lifestyle.

Review from Brenda C (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 February 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mum has been a resident in Abbey View for nearly a year now, and we are all extremely pleased with her care. She settled in to Abbey View very quickly, and it is definitely “peace of mind” for me and my sister to know that Mum is being so well cared for.
The staff are always willing to help and
to advise, and nothing is too much trouble for them – we never feel that we are being a “nuisance”. All of the staff are always very polite, friendly, thoughtful and caring. They work quickly, but very efficiently – and they treat Mum with great respect and dignity.
I always find Abbey View to be extremely clean and tidy. It has become like a second home to me, Mum and the rest of our family. And a lot of the staff have become our friends. I have already recommended Abbey View to other families, and will continue to do so.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.887)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.887) out of 10 for Abbey View Nursing & Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.887 for Abbey View Nursing & Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (150 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.887
  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 Abbey View Nursing & Residential 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:

    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 52 registered maximum number of service users is 10.4, which has been reached with 14 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.
