It has taken a while but Mom has settled into life here and with encouragement is participating in activities, which is good to see. Care staff are excellent and we are very happy with the overall care Mom is receiving. This is Mom's first experience of living in this type of environment and ti was
always going to creat challenges but the care staff have really helped Mom adjust to her new life.

From day one all the staff have been very friendly and approachable. They take very good care of my husband. There's a wake and shake in the morning so its exercising all the body and there's activities all day keeping the brain active. They make a big effort for celebrations eg Christmas which I enjoy

Nan has been in Allenbrook since January and the difference in her is fantastic. She was bedbound at home for 2 years. She's now out in the chair everyday socialising and playing games. She is so much more alert and the level of care she gets is great. I find all the staff friendly and welcoming. We
are very happy.

The staff are caring and compassionate, my father is always well presented. My father requires all care and the staff are responsive to his needs. The staff always make myself and my family welcome. We are provided with refreshments during our visits. My father responds to staff with a smile. As a family
we feel my father has settled well and has a good rapport with all of the staff.

Our family have been through a really difficult couple of years. Our Mum died and Dad was diagnosed with dementia. Dad's condition deteriorated really quickly and soon needed nursing care because he was unable to perform even basic personal care. The staff at Allenbrook are so brilliant with Dad. He
is looked after really well. There are activities to keep him happy and he tells us all of the time how well they look after him. He loves the food which is prepared fresh by chefs. As a family, we can enjoy our time with Dad knowing he's looked after well.

I had to make the difficult decision to put my mom into respite care. From my first point of contact with Allenbrook Home, they reassured me that my mom would be safe and well cared for and they were not wrong. Mom stayed for a month in her own private room. The meals were amazing. Everyone who works
there is kind, compassionate and understanding of the resident's needs. Mom enjoyed her stay and I wouldn't hesitate to use Allenbrook again in the future.

As a family, we could not ask for more of the Allenbrook family. From all staff involved with our sister, the care is given with dignity and care. Most importantly emotional care is included so the person is not lost in the nursing environment. Knowing that your loved one is safe and nurtured provides
peace of mind. The necessities of life, taken care of with compassion in an open-house environment. We are delighted with the whole team.

Mum has been a resident here for over a year. She is well cared for and I have no worries. The care home is welcoming, visiting times are very flexible and Mum seems happy and content. The food always looks appetising and Mum eats well, has gained weight and has maintained this. I always sit with her
in the resident's lounge so I can observe what happens. Carers show respect, empathy and patience to all residents even when behaviour is challenging. Management offers plenty of opportunities for feedback, providing regular times to meet.

My father is having his second period of time at Allenbrook Home. The staff are all excellent and very helpful and caring. It's good to know he is in safe hands. All other aspects such as communication and admin etc are also first class. I would highly recommend Allenbrook should you or a family member
require their service and expertise.

My brother lives in Allenbrooke. He appears stable and care staff appear to know him well. He has a lovely room which is well kept. He would benefit from more individual daily activity as he cannot manage group activity.
The home is clean but would benefit from an update in furnishings and more dementia
signage.
Care staff work hard and are responsive.

Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
Appear understaffed. Call times (service users waiting on staff to attend) are simply appalling. Every visit buzzers going off. I've witnessed response times of over 1 hour frequently. Too many agency staff - which isn't good as some appear uncaring and like 'it's just a job' - they can't wait for their
shift to finish. The manager is approachable and appears receptive to feedback. My aunt since being in their care has developed bed sores which are now infected. Told they turn her hourly - but know from my visits - that simply isn't happening. Shocking!

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.564)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.564) out of 10 for Allenbrook Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.564 for Allenbrook Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (142 Excellents x 5) + (72 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 227 Ratings = 4.564
  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 Allenbrook Nursing Home is based on 19 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 36 registered maximum number of service users is 7.2, which has been reached with 19 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.
