Review from Clive A (Son of Resident) published on 1 February 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother was a resident for just over 5 years, having suffered a stroke after already showing signs of dementia. She was looked after with care, thoughtfulness, compassion and kindness. The staff were always easy to speak to and gave me confidence that they knew what they were doing, especially in
terms of Mum's medical needs. The building, having been built I guess in the 1960s or thereabouts was beginning to look a bit "tired" in places when Mum moved in, but ongoing improvements were made and continue to be so. The place has a comfortable, cheery atmosphere and always appears clean and fresh. The staff were particularly kind and helpful as Mum approached her death.

The care home previously looked after my mum who has now sadly passed away. When my dad was no longer able to care for himself this care home was our first choice. They offer excellent care, great communication with relatives and a warm, homely environment with activities for those who are able to participate.

My friend was sent from Hospital to the home. She was so impressed with the care she received here. I was hoping that she would be here for many years. If I have to go into a home It must be here.

My husband was in the home until his death on November 30th, having been sent there from hospital for end of life care 3 days earlier. His care was good. We have no complaint with the home but were disappointed by the NHS system because he could have ended his life in the care of the hospital where
he was also well cared for.

My father has been a resident at Shelton Lock Care Home for a few months now. He has settled in well, thanks to the care and support from all the staff. He is always clean, well-fed and happy. It is reassuring for me to know he is in safe hands and is being well cared for.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Well decorated. Staff helpful, polite and friendly. Food well prepared, good selection and dining room well presented.
More stimulating activities could be provided to involve all residents which cater for after teatime, as all residents do not want to be in their room by 7pm.
The grounds seem to
be neglected and not in the pristine condition as last year, not a good impression to visitors and some details i.e tissues have been removed - now have to buy.
Reply from Clare Sheehan, TBC at Shelton Lock Care Home

Thank you for your feedback which we really welcome and this has helped us to identify how we can learn from the issues you raised to ensure this is not repeated in the future. The gardens have recently been maintained by the home’s team due to the sudden departure of our gardener. I am pleased to inform you that the new gardener is now in post so we should see an improvement very quickly. Thank you for your feedback about the tissues which I have discussed with the home to ensure they are freely available in all communal areas for Residents and visitors.

I was looking for a care home for my brother for over 2 months. I visited 5 homes which felt were not suitable for my brother. After some time visiting various homes unannounced I came across Shelton Lock and couldn't believe my luck. He has been here for 4 weeks and has had the best care anyone would
want for a loved one. The staff are wonderful. Thank you.

My father was treated so respectfully with real care and love, all the staff were wonderful to him.
The room and food were fantastic, he had everything he needed in his final days, he was only there for 5 weeks but it was so special not just for my father but we were treated really well.
The home
should be given the highest recommendation.

My father was in the care home for 5 weeks before he died, but his care was excellent in every aspect.
Every member of staff was caring and very respectful, and his last few weeks were made comfortable.
I would not hesitate to recommend Shelton Lock Care Home.

Spent time to assist residents with knitting poppies for a display. Observed staff interacting with the residents. The staff always treated residents with respect and encouraged interactions. Residents always appear well cared for. Drinks and snacks are offered during the morning. Residents needs are
answered in a timely manner. There is a calm atmosphere and good relations between residents and staff.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.517)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.517) out of 10 for Shelton Lock 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.517 for Shelton Lock Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (113 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (7 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 172 Ratings = 4.517
  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 Shelton Lock Care Home is based on 13 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 13 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.
