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
you, we donated money from Mum's funeral to the residents' activities.

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.
Reply from Alex Hartles, Operations Manager at Autumn House Nursing Home

Thank you very much for your kind words. We are really pleased Autumn House is meeting your high expectations. Please speak with the care manager if you ever have any questions or concerns.

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 (9.871)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.871) 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 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 4.871 for Autumn House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (218 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 249 Ratings = 4.871
  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 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 67 registered maximum number of service users is 13.4, 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.
