On coming once a week to see a very good friend of many years, I found this home excellent. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. There is always plenty of activities for the residents to help them. On all of my weekly visits, everyone is pleasant and helpful.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I arrived at Waterside apprehensive, very low and depressed. The staff are welcoming, reassuring, competent and friendly with care and concern expressed at all times and always ready to go that little bit further to help. The food was excellent, this was commented on by visitors who booked a meal most
weekends etc. that I was there. Patients were encouraged to meet with each other and use the day room, which made for more socialising and was beneficial. All female carers and an ensuite room made my stay even more enjoyable and appreciative. Any queries were answered quickly by a friendly helpful manager.

Staff and management work very hard to make the home a welcoming and pleasant place. Activities programme is good and facilities are well maintained, clean and tidy. Food and drink are good quality and resident wellbeing is a priority with GP visits, eye test, flu jab etc, all organised well. Staff
are friendly and warm and most seem to genuinely care about the residents. Occasionally staff can take a long time to answer the bell but overall care is very good.

Staff care is excellent.
Cleanliness is excellent.
Food is good when well enough to enjoy. Mostly same menu every week. Visitors made very welcome, not enough staff to help with all patients.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mom joined Stepdown in June 2016 when the decision was made it was unsuitable for her to return home as her needs now requiring nursing care. As a family, we are grateful that Mom became a resident. Mom has settled well joining in activities and communicating with other residents. Mom's needs are met
with smiles, her care with dignity and the environment calm. This level of respect has been shown since day one through each stage of Mom's needs and at times the staff have been a great support to us as a family. As a family, we find comfort in the respect shown to our mother and the comfort Mom experiences as a resident.

Thank you for giving my mother a wonderful birthday party. The care and attention taken by all the team to make her day a happy one, is much appreciated by all the family. We could not have chosen a better care home for Mum and we feel extremely fortunate that Mum has so many kind and caring staff around
her. Well done Waterside!

Since my mother has been at Waterside her care has been excellent. The staff are very friendly and caring. Her general health has improved greatly and the range of activities provided has meant mom has taken part in things she has never tried before. Without Waterside, I believe mom would no longer
be with us.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.801)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.801) out of 10 for Waterside Care 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.801 for Waterside Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (210 Excellents x 5) + (50 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 261 Ratings = 4.801
  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 Waterside Care Home is based on 22 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 22 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.
