Unsatisfied with the treatment mum was given and staff were very unhelpful. My mother's belongings went missing.
Reply from Tracy Hardy, Careline Team Leader at Perry Locks Care Home

Thank you for your feedback in regards to your Mother’s stay with us at Perry Locks. I am sorry to hear you were unhappy with the care she received. As a result of your feedback, we will learn and further improve our service. In regards to your Mother’s belongings I understand you came to take her home before the agreed discharge date, which led to the misunderstanding, however, we ensured her belongings were returned to your home address. Once again many thanks for your feedback.

My mom was moved to Perry Locks in March 2019. After a few years of struggling to keep mom in her flat, we decided to move her to full-time care. This was the best decision we made for mom as she is the happiest we have seen her for years. The staff are fantastic and very caring. Mom's dementia has
not deteriorated since this move, she is kept active and engaged. We are so grateful as a family.

Staff at Brooklyn House in Perry Locks Care Home, are wonderful, they work really hard and always find the time to answer our questions. They show kindness and compassion towards our mum at all times.
They have assisted us during the most traumatic time in our lives, they are real angels. We are truly
grateful for all that they do.

My husband is well looked after no complaints. Only sometimes he has to wait longer to be changed because of staff problems, otherwise, he is well cared for.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
(Brooklyn House) Mother-in-law went in temporarily direct from hospital admission. We were greeted very pleasantly by staff, made to feel very welcome and part of an extended family. I have been there at meal times and all the meals have been fresh with a large variety of choice. I have visited during
the day and joined in the activities from card bingo, quizzes to food tasting and a drink in The Brooklyn. We have managed to see services such as chiropodist, optician and visited the in house hairdresser. I find all the staff very friendly from the laundry lady to the management team. We are so pleased to have this service that it is now a permanent placement. Thank you all.

Review from Y R (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 May 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
HC-One is understaffed. The quality of care is very poor. Rooms are dirty and furniture needs replacing. The staff are too busy to entertain or look after the residents properly. Quite often residents are calling out for a nurse to change their pads or take them to the bathroom. In general, the care
home is deteriorating. Buildings and gardens need to be refurbished. My mother cannot eat the food because it is also a very poor standard.
Reply from Claire Hurworth, Care Line Manager at Perry Locks Care Home

Thank you for your review. We are sorry that you feel our standards have not met your Mother’s requirements. We will be making contact with you shortly, to invite you and your Mother for a care plan review. Meanwhile, if we can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact the Home Manager direct.

We as a family are extremely appreciative of the excellent care our sister/sister-in-law is receiving. She has not been as happy for years as she is in Perry Locks, being looked after by such caring and family-like staff. All the facilities are excellent, especially the food. We all feel that she is
in safe hands and we can take comfort from that.

The staff at Perry Locks rose to the challenge of looking after my father whose health and welfare deteriorated over time. He was always treated with dignity and the family were well informed regarding our father. Perry Locks facilitated meetings with key groups of professionals to ensure my father's
best interest was catered for. Given the choice again I would use again Perry Locks.

Extremely helpful staff. Residents (full time and temporary as my mother) showed dignity, patience, care, kindness, respect and love. Staff try and make sure all get care and help and when required assistance, be it medical or practical. Home has a lovely friendly comfortable "Homely" atmosphere. Nursery
staff are approachable and all staff across the board (cleaners, kitchen staff and those with direct resident contact all seem to do their very best for those living in the home. Admin and management seem to keep things running.

All the staff treat each resident as an individual and take time to learn individual preferences regarding name and choice of clothes/food. This enables each to retain personal dignity. The menu is varied with food attractively presented and generally of good quality. The rooms are clean. There is very
good supervision with attention paid to specific needs.

I visit Perry Locks twice a week and find the staff caring, helpful and friendly but most of the time they are short staffed which means the residents do have to wait for help to go to the toilet etc.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Although mom didn't like being in a care home (whichever one she was in) I felt comfortable with her being there. She was well looked after and the staff were lovely and attentive to her. From what I observed, mom was treated with dignity and respect. Her room was spacious and she was able to have her
own tv and personal effects with her. The only negative was no ensuite facilities. Mom was encouraged to spend her days in the day lounge with other residents and she did make some new friends. Mom was not mobile so relied on staff to move her around, but they were always available for her when she needed them. I wasn't able to visit more than once a week, but when I did visit, there did seem to be social activities, and the staff also interacted with the residents. Thanks for taking care of my mom. It's not easy getting old when you have to rely on others for support but you made her as comfortable as you could.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.379)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.379) out of 10 for Perry Locks Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 41 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 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 4.379 for Perry Locks Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (242 Excellents x 5) + (179 Goods x 4) + (51 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 477 Ratings = 4.379
  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 Perry Locks Care Home is based on 40 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 128 registered maximum number of service users is 25.6, which has been reached with 40 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.
