My mother resided at Stanley House for three and a half years, and I was very happy with the care she received. All the staff were very professional and caring and treated the residents with respect. The activities were many and varied and designed to include all the residents. My mother's reported
that the food was very good, and she looked forward to the meals. I would certainly recommend Stanley House to anyone seeking care for their loved one.

My mother was admitted straight from the hospital for end-of-life care.
All the staff were very courteous, caring and professional. She was looked after very well.
The other thing that stood out, for the period of time that Mum was able to eat, was the quality of the meals served - restaurant quality
food that was well presented.

Mum has recently moved into Stanley House. Thank you for making Mum feel so welcome and feel that she belongs. You have such wonderful, friendly and inspirational staff, with attention to detail in every role. Mum says, and I can see, she already feels very relaxed and at home. With the variety of activities,
Mum said 'I think my days will be more fulfilled'. How right she is, through your gentle encouragement, her days are more interesting. You have adapted to Mum, in all areas, rather than the other way around, truly respecting Mum as an individual. It's lovely to see the rapport she has with everyone. Thank you for taking on board my knowledge of Mum's preferences too. Exemplary care and very high standards, in all aspects. Highly recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dad moved to Stanley House straight from hospital last year. He had been living on his own and was just about managing with a lot of support from the family. After his illness in hospital he went to Stanley House to 'try it out' and has never looked back. The activities are team are brilliant always
creative and inspiring. During the COVID-19 lockdown they have really come up with some imaginative ways for the families to keep in touch. Living in a shared home has kept Dad from being left on his own. All the staff are great and caring for both residents and their families.

My mum has been a resident for 12 months now, she settled in very quickly. Like everyone, I was concerned at the start if I had done 'the right thing', putting my mum in care is a big decision. I am very happy with the home. The staff are superb and nothing is too much trouble. I am very impressed with
the day to day running and activities. The home is always clean and tidy with lots going on. The food is good, wholesome, British fayre with plenty of choice. Very satisfied.

Dad is very contented and comfortable in Stanley House and my mother, who also has dementia but lives at home, is also very comfortable and at ease when she visits him.
Dad is very satisfied with the food, staff and activities and we are able to visit him as a family regularly and are made very welcome.
We
often participate in activities and special events. The staff are excellent as is the level of care - nothing is too much trouble. I don't worry about Dad now as I know he is in excellent hands.

Stanley House is a real home from home, very comfortable and clean. All the staff are warm and caring, treating residents with dignity. As a family, you are encouraged to be part of your relative's life and to join in with activities. Any queries and concerns are always treated seriously and professionally.
Any decisions are jointly made including the family and resident. Excellent!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.697)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.697) out of 10 for Stanley House 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.697 for Stanley House is calculated as follows: ( (131 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 165 Ratings = 4.697
  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 Stanley House is based on 14 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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4, which has been reached with 14 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.
