I visit a friend who became a resident last year after her husband died. I see her every 3/4 weeks and over the months have noticed that slowly she has settled in and seems happy now joining in many of the activities and making friends.
As I am an active 87-year-old but have no family I may need to
become a resident myself at somewhere like this so I find it interesting to see how things are run and I must say I am impressed.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Our family has very much appreciated the help Ardenlea Grove Care Home has given us in caring for our seriously ill mother. We have found a high standard of nursing care which we had difficulty accessing in the community, to be readily available ar Ardenlea Grove, thereby ensuring Mum's comfort and
dignity. All staff have been welcoming and continue to help in many different ways, whether with administrative matters, providing quick changes of the menu, helping Mum get more comfortable and even providing an in-room tea tray for the family to use, Mum is a great tea drinker! Staff get to know residents and their needs and it is pleasing that residents are cared for, largely by the same team, and that residents and their families get to know the staff in return. Ardenlea Grove is decorated and furnished to a high standard. Rooms look like those in a comfortable, family home. It is always warm and both the buildings and residents are immaculate. Any problems with the building or equipment are addressed quickly and efficiently by the on-site handyman, a welcome 'extra' we were not expecting.

Our father was discharged from hospital to Ardenlea Grove Care Home for end-of-life care. We have visited every day and found the staff to be friendly, kind, caring and compassionate. They are a wonderful team supporting the residents and each other, They have managed any problems my father has encountered
with empathy finding solutions to suit his needs, they haven't adopted a one size fits all approach at all. The care home is always clean and tidy from the reception area through to the communal areas and the bedrooms. We are so pleased with the care our father has received whilst at Ardenlea Grove Care Home and are grateful for the support they are providing at such a difficult time.

My mum has been living at this care home for the past 6 months, and I have been so impressed with the care and attention she has received. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and always willing to help. My mum has been very well looked after and is always happy when I visit. She has been able to enjoy
a number of activities, as well as making new friends and forming relationships with the staff. The care home has made sure that my mother is comfortable and happy throughout her stay and I would highly recommend this care home to anyone looking for a caring and supportive environment. The manager is always available to answer any questions and are very responsive to any concerns or feedback. My mother was very poorly when she first arrived, but now she is looking forward to independent living. I am so grateful to the care home for all they have done for her and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Carers and nursing staff were excellent - they deserve a lot more respect from management. They all treated Mum in an excellent way and very professional with all relatives. Overall the home does not provide what it says it does eg pet therapy. It was only with perseverance that I got clean/new flooring
in Mum's room. Walls needed a repaint and overall the whole home needs improvement. Generally did not feel the manager listened.

Any family member that can no longer look after themselves is very stressful time, and having to put them in care is a very emotional time. Over the past three months, the outstanding home has provided my mother with the utmost care. They have helped us as a family in such worrying times. The care given

Review from Samantha B (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 October 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
The NHS discharged my mother without my consent for rehabilitation. My mother has dementia and is bed-bound needing full nursing care. She was left lying in her own excrement, half-dressed, and her food and drinks were left on the side when she requires full assisted eating. The situation was so bad
that my brother physically moved our mother and took her home in his car when really she needed an ambulance. The place was also dirty. At the end of the day, you have to blame the management and nurses for allowing such poor care.
Please, please check this place before anyone in your family is moved by the NHS into this place.

Ardenlea Grove Care Home is just an amazing place. My Dad was sadly only with them for a short amount of time but he was treated with the utmost care, dignity, love, and laughter. He loved it there and so did we. We cannot fault the care he received. Nothing was ever too much trouble. The people who
work there are people who genuinely care not just carers. Cannot speak highly enough of this wonderful place.

My mom came to Ardenlea nursing home, of her own choice having struggled with underlying mobility and health issues. She was looked after with kindness and humour, by a number of care workers some of whom became mom's favourites. Following brief spells in hospital while in care, she returned to Ardenlea
recently for end-of-life care as her cancer advanced. I have full praise for those staff who gave that little extra to mom, right up until her recent passing. Myself and mom were treated in a warm and compassionate way, as a very frequent visitor, it was a pleasure to experience the supportive environment. The rooms are light and cheery, I would recommend it to anyone in need able to fund their excellent place to be a resident.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad was discharged to Ardenlea Grove for end-of-life care. The level of care he received allowed me to spend the last few months of his life as his daughter again, rather than his carer. Their Covid arrangements are excellent and align to the quality of care they provide. Dad was always kept clean
and comfortable and the meals were varied and freshly cooked. They treated both dad and myself like friends/family. The staff are always there for you, they greet you with a friendly smile, they kept me informed at all times and when the time came for dad's passing, I was able to be there by his side with staff nearby to comfort me. The staff had got to know my dad during his short stay there and were also saddened by his passing. I will never forget the kindness shown by the staff.

Ardenlea Grove is a helpful place, it caters for all types of ills. Staff are caring, efficient, and firm. Helping to get up and hand out pills.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.460)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.460) out of 10 for Ardenlea Grove Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.460 for Ardenlea Grove Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (160 Excellents x 5) + (123 Goods x 4) + (17 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 302 Ratings = 4.46
  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 Ardenlea Grove Care Home is based on 26 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 26 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.
