Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mum went into Littleover care home from hospital after a fall at home. She was on end of life care. All the staff are lovely, from laundry ladies right through to admin. The care mum received was very very good. Mum passed away on the 11th November. I can't thank the staff enough for the care she received
at the end, so kind and respectful of our wishes. I would recommend it to anyone needing care also their families. Thank you all.
Reply from Tracey Sodhi, Deputy Manager at Littleover Nursing HomeThank you for your lovely feedback it is much appreciated. It was an honour to care for your mum. From our family to yours we wish you well. Take care.

Littleover Nursing Home took mum in direct from hospital after a fall and stroke rendered her unable to take care of herself or feed herself. Gradually with their care, she improved to eat relatively normally, speak better and sit in the lounge, and partake of some activities. More recently she has
become more dependant but always seemed warm, comfortable, and clean. Even through Covid. I have already recommended Littleover to friends and will continue to do so. Excellent kind care and communication from all the staff. Good food and clean premises.
Reply from Helen Woodley, Care Home Manager at Littleover Nursing HomeIt was our great pleasure to care for your Mum and get to know her throughout her stay at Littleover. Thank-you for taking the time to give us feedback; it is really appreciated and I will ensure that your wishes are passed on to the whole team. Take care.

Mum entered Littleover on Fast Track End of Life directly from hospital after a stroke. She has shown enough improvement to no longer be on Fast Track, whilst still requiring nursing care and assisted eating. From the moment mum arrived, she has received excellent care and assistance from all the staff
at Littleover. I cannot speak highly enough, whether it be management, nursing, care staff housekeeping, laundry, or kitchen staff. I have always found the staff to be very approachable if I had cause/reason to discuss mum's health/care. They did everything I would expect of them and more to improve mom's well being and I am sure this has improved mum's quality of life since she arrived. They all are a credit to their profession and Littleover Nursing Home.
Reply from Helen Woodley, Care Home Manager at Littleover Nursing HomeThank you for your kind thoughts which I will feedback to all of the Team here at Littleover. Your mum has been an integral part of our family and we were privileged to get to know her and care for her throughout her time here. We will miss her and you very much. Take care.

My stepfather was admitted to the Littleover Nursing Home in July to receive palliative care at the end of his life. My mother and I were warmly welcomed from day one and looked after with exactly the same compassionate loving care and professionalism as my stepfather was given. Every single person
we encountered in the home from the caretaker with his beautiful aviary of birds outside to management - extremely qualified and very kind nurses and care workers made us feel calm and at peace on his passing. We cannot thank you enough and feel so lucky to have been placed in such an excellent nursing home.
Reply from Helen Woodley, Care Home Manager at Littleover Nursing HomeThank you so much for taking the time to write this review. We work very hard to support the families as well as our residents at Littleover and I know that your kind words will mean a great deal to the whole team. Sending you our very best wishes. Take care.

As my husband was so near the end of his life, it became very hard for me to visit him. I found it emotionally extremely difficult, as a result, I was in tears when leaving him. The staff went out of their way to comfort me and talk to me so that by the time I left, I had regained my composure. The
staff are so caring, and the home is lovely and clean with a calm and peaceful atmosphere.
Reply from Helen Woodley, Care Home Manager at Littleover Nursing HomeThank you for your very kind words, which I will share with the whole Team at Littleover. I am glad that we were able to give you comfort and support during this difficult time. Sending our very best wishes to you. Take care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum moved into Littleover Nursing Home in March 2019 and settled in quickly. I was impressed by the variety of activities provided for the residents. Mum particularly enjoyed the singing and cooking sessions. Dad visited every day and they looked after him too. He stayed one night when Mum was ill and
was most impressed by his breakfast the next morning! When Dad passed away suddenly in November of that year the compassion and care and kindness and support they gave to Mum, and to us, was really appreciated. Mum was happy and well-cared for - all we could ask for in a home. In the last week of Mum's life, we just wanted to be with her. The staff were brilliant - they took care of us as well as Mum. Nothing was too much trouble. They kept us fully informed, making sure we were all right and explaining to us what to expect and we were so grateful that we were with Mum when she died.
Reply from Helen Woodley, Care Home Manager at Littleover Nursing HomeThank you for taking the time to write these wonderful words which I will share with the whole team at Littleover. Your mum was very special to us and we miss her a lot, but we are so glad that we had the opportunity to care for her and to offer you all a little comfort. Take care. With every good wish from your Littleover family.

Unfortunately, my father was only in the home for 9 days before he passed away. During that period my experience with the care home was that of satisfaction. I can only comment on my observation in that short period. We were kept informed of his condition, made to heel welcome on visits and, on his
passing, the help and cooperation from the management and staff was excellent and very dignified.
Reply from Helen Woodley, Care Home Manager at Littleover Nursing HomeThank you for taking the time to give us some feedback - I will ensure your comments are passed on to the whole team at Littleover and please accept our sincere condolences for your loss.

My uncle came to Littleover Nursing Home for end of life care. Unfortunately his stay was short but whilst at the home he felt comfortable in his own room with his belongings around him. All our dealings with the staff from admin, carers, nurses and manager all were very supportive at all times from
beginning to end. Both my uncle and family were very happy with the choice we made.
Reply from Helen Woodley, Care Home Manager at Littleover Nursing HomeThank-you for your kind words which I will pass on to the whole team. It was our pleasure to meet and care for your Uncle. He was a lovely man. Take care.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My wife was a resident at Littleover Nursing Home from August 2020 until she passed away at the beginning of October 2020. During her short stay, she was treated with both dignity and respect. I visited every day and always received a warm welcome from the staff and often offered a hot drink during
my visit. My wife was always kept immaculate, pain-free and as comfortable as was humanly possible throughout her stay. Staff showed great compassion, kindness and patience at all times. And, as her condition deteriorated, I was kept informed at every stage by the dedicated nursing staff. Not only did the staff care for my wife; they also took the time, particularly toward the end, to check that I was managing all right too. I would recommend the Littleover Nursing Home to anyone. The fact that all the staff get to know residents well means that they can provide excellent care, and along with approachable management staff who were able to answer any questions that I had. Many thanks to you all.
Reply from Helen Woodley, Care Home Manager at Littleover Nursing HomeThank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review and I will make sure that it is shared with all of the team at Littleover. We hope you are keeping well and holding on to all of the special memories you hold dear. Take care. With fondest regards from all of us.

My mother came here after suffering a stroke which has taken away her independence. From myself and my sister's first visit here, we were impressed by staff and cleanliness and general appearance of the home as a whole. Mother seems settled here and nothing is too much trouble for the staff. This has
eased a lot of pressure for myself and my sister.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of my grandparents moved into Littleover Nursing Home and had adjacent rooms. Littleover was a kind, caring, clean place for them both to spend the last months of their life, and we appreciate the kindness, compassion and hard work put into the care of them both during the time they were in the
home. Special thanks to the night nurses and team for the support and care given to us all during the final few days of Gran's life, and special thanks to the activities team who tried so hard to include my grandma and grandad in making their lives more rewarding. Nothing was too much the staff, and we will always remember the staff with fondness. It was such a warm welcome whenever we visited, and we had confidence that they were looked after very well.
Reply from Helen Woodley, Care Home Manager at Littleover Nursing HomeThank you for taking the time to write this review and for your kind words.

We can’t thank the staff at Littleover Nursing Home enough for the care that they have given to my mother-in-law, right to the very end. All of the staff get to know the residents very well, keep them well cared for, and it feels like a home from home. Thank you so much.

We were very happy with this nursing home when they cared for Dad so well before he passed away 2 years ago. When Mum needed the same, 24 hour care, there was only 1 choice, The Littleover Nursing Home. It really is a home from home. In the intervening 2 years,the manager and the entire team have made
improvements we didn't even realise needed making. You can feel the positive atmosphere and the great culture in the team. It is a calm but happy place. If Mum is ever unsettled the team are so reassuring and take the pressure off. Massive thank you!

Current Review Score: 9.0 (8.992)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (8.992) out of 10 for Littleover Nursing 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 6 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 4.692 for Littleover Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (45 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 65 Ratings = 4.692
  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 4.3 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Littleover Nursing Home is based on 6 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 = 3.55
    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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 8 = 0.75
  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.
