Rooted in the Christian faith, life at Evington Home supports its residents to live fulfilled lives in their later years. They provide excellent, personalised care that supports residents to flourish in older age.

They appreciate that each resident has their own individual interests, hobbies and pastimes, and endeavour to support their residents to maintain this important part of their lives. The residents are encouraged to lead the lifestyle that they choose, doing as much or as little as they want.

People can choose to take part in activities such as the regular armchair salsa or can simply choose to put their feet up with a daily paper (by arrangement) or a good book from the home’s own collection.

Evington Home's Christian background is at the heart of both their values and actions. At Evington Home, they try to create a community where Christian worship, prayer and support are a core part of daily life.

They have morning devotions Monday - Friday, a Sunday afternoon service and a monthly communion service, all taken by a variety of local speakers and clergy. There are a number of churches of various denominations within easy reach of the home.

I wouldl like to thank the staff at Evington Home for the loving care and support they have provided to my mother.
The staff treated my mother with dignity and respect during the challenging times when her health had deteriorated.
Staff supported my mother during her final days before she went to
heaven.

I have been visiting this home for years now. I have always found the management and staff very approachable and friendly. I have not eaten a meal and I have honestly forgotten how much it is to live here.
Only last week I attended a celebration and I cannot praise the home enough for all the staff
and volunteers for the work they put in. The occasion was enjoyed by lots of outsiders, the food was lovely. Thank you all very much.

Pristine grounds, very neat and tidy, giving a very good first impression of Evington Home. I always receive a warm welcome by management staff and carers alike when I visit. They are very helpful and courteous despite having a busy work schedule. My friend appears well cared for and happy in the home.
She showed me the December 2024 programme and there were numerous activities each day.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am the friend of a family member but live at a distance. The staff are brilliant at keeping me up to date with what is happening and work hard to ensure my friend is well cared for. I am always welcome when I do visit. The home itself is welcoming and I enjoyed being there for the morning worship.
My friend has health issues and these are attended to, with the support of the GP and NHS Inreach team. She very much wanted to be in a Christian home and that remains important to her. On my ratings below, I do not know about food and drink but the survey wouldn't allow me to leave it blank so entered mid-range. It is not my informed opinion.

Mum's Christian faith is very important to her, and she benefits from the Christian ethos being central to life in the home. There is a large number of activities which take place on a weekly basis and Mum recently enjoyed a trip to a local garden centre. The staff in the home are very patient, caring
and supportive of Mum's needs which is much appreciated.

I am unable to stand or walk so everything has to be done for me. Everything is done with kindness and consideration but I am slightly critical of the choice of food. It is beautifully served but slightly lacking in variety. I consider I am on end of life holiday.

Following our afternoon visit on Thursday 28th March to Pilgrim's Friend, Evington Home seeing our friend a resident, we are happy to give a review by way of appreciation. We happened upon a special entertainment Easter Quiz attended by a large number of residents who enthusiastically took part. The
activities staff were excellent to the sense of love and fun in a great way. Our friend enjoys her life at the home and appreciates the variety of activities care and security it provides. We noticed a real improvement in her health after years of struggling on her own. We are grateful to the staff for all they are doing to make Evington a home which has a sense of security, peace and the Lord's presence.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Overall good. Mum's care needs were met. Staff welcoming, approachable and accommodating. Concerns raised about ensuring Mum appearing dishevelled and the wrong clothes being left in her room were addressed.
Staff always sought to ensure any health concerns we noted were brought to the GPs or other
health professional's attention.
Worship services prayers at meal times and a Christian focus was a definite bonus.
It was great to have open access to see Mum. As a family, being able to sleep in Mum's room as she deteriorated until she finally passed away was much appreciated.

I visit friends in Evington Home. They always look comfortable and well looked after. They have a very varied range of activities and a very good bulletin with photos of residents and carers.
I cannot comment on the food and drink apart from afternoon tea and cake in which I sometimes participate.
This is always good and well served, though I think residents should all have beakers, not cups as the latter are hard to hold.

My mother went into the home after a spell in hospital with pneumonia. All the staff and the hummingbirds have been so wonderful and caring with her it gives us the reassurance that she is getting the best care possible. The home with its Christian ethos has a calm and family feel to it. There is no
doubt in our minds that my mother is in the best place she could possibly be in.

I visited the resident during the afternoon on the 13th of July. I received a warm welcome and was directed to the communal lounge. One of the members of staff offered to find me a chair and this was placed next to the residents. This action was communicated clearly to another member of staff. When
I sat down, I noticed that the staff were offering the residents a drink with a cake or biscuit. The residents who required assistance were treated with dignity and kindness. There was good interaction between the staff and the residents during this quiz time. Overall, a calm, happy place.

It is not an easy thing to find a care home that will meet all the needs of your loved one, but we are so pleased that a friend told us about Evington Home. We couldn't be happier and Evington is more like a family. The carers are so caring and friendly to all visitors. We have been impressed by all
the activities they put on for residents and this has helped my husband to settle in more quickly. There has been very good communication with all carers and management.

I cannot praise enough the caring staff at Evington Home. My mother had to move in at short notice, due to a medical deterioration. The staff at Evington Home, from the office administrators to the carers, cleaners and catering staff, have shown exceptional kindness and patience. As a result, my mother
settled easily and continues to be happy there. My mother has a lovely room overlooking the large linden tree in the adjacent independent living complex. The home is bright, airy and always scrupulously clean. My mother enjoys walking in the gardens and participating in the many activities, both religious and secular, within Evington Home.

We have recently had to move my mother to Evington Home at very short notice for two weeks respite care. We were already familiar with the staff and the set up. The way that all the staff have dealt with it has been excellent and they have all been so caring, welcoming my mum with open arms. We are

I want to say a heartfelt thank you to the managers, staff and volunteers of the Pilgrims Friend Society Evington Home. My father/dad had respite care there in August 2022. I was concerned about it wondering how he would take it. My husband and I visited him over the two weeks he was there. Daddy looked
rested, at peace and seemed to be enjoying his stay. That took a load off my mind. The staff were lovely to all of us. Having worked there over twenty years ago, this home has certainly changed a lot. For the better, I might add! Thank you so much for the work you are doing.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.783)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.783) out of 10 for Evington Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 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 4.783 for Evington Home is calculated as follows: ( (124 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 157 Ratings = 4.783
  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 Evington Home 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, 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.
