  • Pathways, Sutton-in-Ashfield
Pathways is a registered learning disability service that supports adults living with learning disabilities, autism, and associated mental and physical health needs.

It provides person-centred support that promotes dignity, independence, and choice, enabling people with complex needs to live safely and meaningfully in the least restrictive environment possible.

The service has eight large en-suite bedrooms, creating a homely and supportive setting that’s responsive to each person’s needs. People are encouraged to decorate and personalise their rooms to make the space their own.

There’s also an accessible sensory garden, activities hub, and communal kitchen and dining area for shared meals and social interaction.

People living at Pathways may have complex health needs such as diabetes, dysphagia, or epilepsy, and some require support with clinical interventions including catheters, Hickman lines, or PEGs.

The team also supports people with limited mobility, providing regular monitoring and repositioning to maintain comfort and wellbeing.

Many people move to Pathways from family homes or hospital settings when previous arrangements are no longer sustainable.

The structured environment provides stability and consistent support, helping people to build confidence before moving on to more independent settings such as supported living.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was very impressed with the environment my friend lives in. It feels so homely when you walk in. Staff were very friendly and helpful especially the new manager. Staff always try to encourage people to take part in activities and there is always plenty of choices.

Always able to discuss issues with the staff. They take on board any concerns. Care is very good and support is excellent. Medical issues are always dealt with urgently and efficiently by senior staff and nurses.

My son has benefited from a dedicated and extremely caring staff at Pathways. He has come on so well and settled into his life there. It gives me, his father, confidence knowing he is looked after well.

Current Review Score: 8.4 (8.409)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.4 (8.409) out of 10 for Pathways 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 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 1 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 4.909 for Pathways is calculated as follows: ( (10 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 11 Ratings = 4.909
  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 3.5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Pathways is based on 1 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 = 3
    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 10 registered maximum number of service users is 2. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 2 = 0.5
  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.
