Review from Donald W (Son of Resident) published on 17 October 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad suffered a major step change in his Alzheimer's condition early in July of 2024, and following a week in hospital (and being assessed as needing 24 hour care), Dad transferred to and became a resident at Autumn House. The Autumn House staff worked wonders with Dad's physical health, and he really
enjoyed the next six months there, socialising and taking part in all of the arranged activities, albeit "in the moment" because sadly, Dad could never remember what he had done. Following a more serious step change in his condition at the end of 2024, Dad was placed on end of life care until he passed away in March 2025. The support provided to Dad (and our family) and the care, attention, and indeed, love, shown to Dad during his time at Autumn House was exceptional and will never be forgotten by my brother and I (and our family). Autumn House is a very special place, and Dad was very happy there. I would have no hesitation in recommending Autumn House to anyone.

My Dad is currently a resident at Autumn House. He moved from residential care into Autumn House for nursing care in Feb 2025 and I have been absolutely thrilled with the care he has received during his stay.
Dad is so content at Autumn House. He is treated with care, kindness and dignity. The staff
are really helpful and friendly and the home has a lovely overall feel to it.
The rooms and public areas are clean and airy whilst also being stylishly furnished.
I would absolutely recommend Autumn House without any hesitation. Thank you so much to the staff for all you do.

My Dad was admitted to Autumn house a week ago. The place is spotless, staff were very friendly and any request was never to much trouble. My Dad was treated with the upmost respect and care at all times.
Dad was only there for a week due to him passing away. Even after Dad's passing they were so
passionate and shown him the upmost respect. We as a family will never forget how good you were to Dad and us as a family. We are eternitly great full for everything you did in Dad's final week.x

My mother moved to Autumn House for palliative care after seventeen weeks in hospital. The care and attention she received at Autumn House was exceptional. All staff from nurses, carers, managers, housekeepers, laundry staff were so welcoming, kind and efficient in the care of my mum.
I particularly
noticed the calm and peaceful atmosphere. All the staff seemed to enjoy their roles and were supportive to my dad and I. Cannot fault the high standard of care.

My wife was at Autumn House for three weeks for palliative care.
The standards were very high and the care given was excellent.
After a long spell in hospital the privacy was appreciated and the kindness of every member of staff encountered. Not only caring for my wife but supportive of me and my
daughter.
Nothing but praise for this establishment. Thank you.

Mum was very well looked after and cared for over the three years she was in the nursing home. The staff were all fantastic and she enjoyed staying there. I cannot express how much I loved the staff for taking care of Mum, especially the last few weeks of her life and will miss them all. As a thank

My mum has been in Autumn House Nursing Home for three months. During this time she has received good care, the staff are excellent in looking after her needs on a daily basis.
Since she has been there she has become more settled and happy in herself. The home is exceptionally clean, her room is warm
and welcoming with a nice view over fields.
The food there is good quality and the menu is varied. I would have no hesitation in recommending Autumn House to anyone considering it as an option for a loved one.

Mum transferred to Autumn House 12 months ago due to her previous care home stating that they could not meet her needs. Autumn House staff helped her settle in and have maintained her fluids and nutrition. Mum is well cared for and as I visit 5 days a week, I see the care she and the other residents
receive, which is professional and caring.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My auntie sadly passed away in Autumn House Nursing Home on 10th October, following a long period of living there. I am a registered nurse and have worked in the NHS as such for forty-two years. I was so impressed to see the nursing standards we were taught all those years ago were in place in this
home. The staff were caring and supportive of both my auntie and the family alike. The care she was given was excellent. She was treated with dignity throughout, turned two hourly, beautifully clean and presented and actual oral care was performed every 30 minutes. I haven’t seen this happen for many years when visiting family in the main hospital. The home was welcoming, the staff obviously knew my auntie well, they came in regularly when we were visiting just to check we were ok. The whole ethos of care was excellent in the end-of-life situation.
Thank you all for your care, keep up the good work.

Mum has been in Autumn House since April, and I feel that she has settled in. Autumn House is a calm, clean and hospitable environment. All the staff are really friendly and caring towards Mum and ensure that all her needs are met. Nothing is too much trouble. It is lovely to visit Mum and chat with
staff and visitors. Our friends and family who have visited, have been positive about Autumn House.
I only wish that I had known about Autumn House when Mum needed respite care earlier this year.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.884)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.884) out of 10 for Autumn House Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.884 for Autumn House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (244 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 275 Ratings = 4.884
  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 Autumn House Nursing Home is based on 24 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 67 registered maximum number of service users is 13.4, which has been reached with 24 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.
