The care home has great facilities and is clean and tidy. Food is good and there are lots of activities for the residents. The staff really make it special. They are friendly, caring and helpful. They pop into Mum's room as they go about their duties to say hello which she likes.

Churchill House provided outstanding care to my mum in her final months. Caring staff looked after her and went the extra mile to make her as content as she could be in the circumstances. Her room was kept clean, as indeed were the rest of the facilities. When Mum was more mobile the programmes of entertainment
and creativity were really enjoyed by Mum and delivered with care and love. In my experience a truly exceptional group of people in a lovely facility.

My mum was in the dementia wing of Churchill House and the staff were so kind and good with her. Her room was always clean and tidy when I visited, her hair was brushed and clean. The garden was always a favorite place to walk around with her and she liked the guinea pigs and chickens. We felt very
lucky that she had such good care for her last years of life.

My dad received the utmost care and dignity in the last seven days after returning to Churchill House for palliative care after leaving the hospital. He had lived there for over eighteen months and had built some lovely relationships with the staff in his time there. I believe all at Churchill House
do a wonderful job of caring and nursing.

I experienced nothing but kindness and good care towards my husband. He felt utterly safe in the home, whereas at home I think he felt afraid. He had a small, charming room with a view into the garden where he had a bird feeding station. I was always made to feel welcome and even, to my and his delight,
were able to take in our border terrier. His care at the end was wonderful.

This is a very friendly and welcoming home and a great improvement on my friend's previous nursing home. It helps being purpose-built. The staff are very helpful and cheerful and appear very caring. The food appears good (I often feed him) and smells appetising. We have experience of several nursing
homes and we rate this one highly.

I entered the home for a two-week respite stay and was greeted by extremely friendly, helpful and efficient staff who made every effort to make my stay comfortable and an enjoyable experience - thank you!
The only negative was the 'hot drinks'. Tea/coffee was usually served in plastic beakers and
was often cold or only tepid.
Reply from Steve Evison, General Manager at Churchill House Care Home

Thank you for the feedback about your experience of respite care, this will be shared with our care team and we will make the necessary changes to our service of hot drinks.
We are so pleased that your stay was a comfortable and enjoyable experience and hopefully can welcome you again one day.

Review from Annabel M (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 October 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother was in Churchill House Care Home for thirteen months from May 2021, at the age of 99 years. She left her home of many years, as even with help she was struggling. She took a while to settle in, Covid restrictions didn't help but the staff were very good and eventually she settled well.
My
brother and I found the home to be very supportive, caring and always trying to help. They always encouraged her to socialise and take part in various activities arranged in-house.
The staff were lovely, very friendly and at the same time trying to care for her in the best possible way.
Latterly when her health deteriorated they tried so hard to sort all the various issues out. Her end-of-life care was very comforting for myself and my brother and helped so much at this difficult time.

Although our mum was only in your care for a relatively short period of time, we can not thank you enough for the care that you provided to Mum and the compassion and support to us as a family. The standard of care provided by all staff, from auxiliary staff, nurses, care assistants and manager, has
been exemplary. Professional, compassionate and caring. Thank you all.

Review from Denise W (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 March 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad, who was 96 and had Alzheimer's, spent the last six months of his life in Churchill House, and the care, kindness and compassion of all the staff there as well as the laughter they shared with him meant that those last six months were good ones. My sister and I will always be grateful for this,#
and also for the kindness and compassion shown to us. It was obvious to me during my visits that every resident was treated as an individual and made to feel that they mattered. Dad thought he was still in his own home, and I think he summed things up best when he said to me on one of my visits, 'well, I know I'm old and so will have to go into a home sometime, but for now, I'm very happy here'.

My mother and father were both looked after by the staff at Churchill House Care Home in the last week (Mum) and year (Dad) of their lives. The care was compassionate and kind, of both of my parents and the family. The excellence of the palliative care for Dad was wonderful as was the reassurance Dad
was given when his dementia made him frightened. We are more than grateful.

We really value your feedback, it means so much to the team. We have considered the areas where we have scored four stars and will focus on areas where improvements are required.
We are pleased to know how grateful you were for the care we provided for your parents.
Kind regards,

My father was in Churchill House Care Home for end of life care. I cannot praise both the staff and the facility enough.
Room was clean, bright and nothing was too much trouble for either care or nursing staff.
I feel blessed that my dad spent his last days peaceful and comfortable.
Thank you to

During my aunt's time in the home since October 2019, she has received superlative care from the staff who go far beyond what might be deemed necessary to make the residents comfortable, reassured and happy. This sensitive care and attention to detail continued right up to my aunt's death.

From the moment I walked in found it homely and friendly. Everyone in the home always made time to tell me how mum was doing during COVID, and at hand to help with skype calls. Towards the end of mum's life, they ensured she was comfortable. Very supportive of myself and my husband which was a difficult
time at the end. Well done Churchill keep doing what you are doing.

I cannot praise the staff highly enough for their care of my mother since November 2017. My mother was happy at Churchill House, enjoying the trips out, the wide range of activities and the gardening club. The staff always had time to have a chat and laugh with residents and visitors. My mother referred
to the staff as her friends. I was always kept informed of any changes in my mother's health. I found the end of life care to be excellent. Even under Covid-19 restrictions I was allowed valuable time with Mum at the end. All the staff are professional and caring and have shown themselves to be truly outstanding. I would recommend Churchill House to everyone.

The care was not only professional in every area, but personal. Nurses and carers became friends, mine as well as my husbands. While he was unable to take advantage of many of the amenities and activities, he was always encouraged to do what he could. In particular, we were grateful for the excellent
specialised dementia and end of life care. An exceptional home.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.725)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.725) out of 10 for Churchill House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 23 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 4.725 for Churchill House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (215 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 269 Ratings = 4.725
  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 Churchill House 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 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4, 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.
