Our Dad was cared for so wonderfully by the staff at Wren Hall for 7 and a half years. He was treated with respect and love the whole time, and when he was end of life, the care of not just Dad but also us as a family was amazing.

My general opinion and experience of Wren Hall is outstanding for the care, support and attention given to both me and my husband. Nothing is too much trouble, and their staff and management go the extra mile to make sure our respite journey is smooth and stress-free. Knowing my husband is cared for
and supported so well by Wren Hall staff gives me the confidence to enjoy and relax during his respite. Therefore, all benefit from the help of Wren Hall.

I live in Devon and much of my communication about Mum is via Relatives Portal and telephone conversations. All staff are friendly and very helpful. On my visits to Wren Hall the whole team are very caring towards all residents and my Mum has developed some lovely relationships. Nothing is too much
trouble.
There are some activities which Mum really enjoys such as ball games and chair balloon batting. She really likes to be useful and enjoys activities like washing and drying some dishes. In her past she has been an accomplished flower arranger. It would be lovely if there were opportunities for her to do some of this.
She loves the company of young children and thoroughly enjoys seeing as well as spending time with them. She has always been very sociable and loves chatting. More opportunities to do so with residents or day care attendees would be greatly appreciated. This has been discussed with staff in the past, but not yet put in place.

Thank you for taking the time to review Wren Hall. I am pleased to read that our whole team is very caring, nothing is too much trouble and that your Mum has developed some lovely relationships.We are aware that your Mum likes to be useful and she has been pairing socks, washing dishes and dusting. Daily your Mum engages is group activities such as quizzes, crosswords and exercises/ball games. We note your Mum's experience in flower arranging and will continue to support this. When not engaged in activities, your Mum chooses to sit in a specific area where there is only one other person in close proximity to chat to. We will discuss this with your Mum and make appropriate changes with her approval.Thanks again.

Having heard good reports of Wren Hall, our family all agreed it would be the ideal home for my husband to be placed in after not a very good start in other homes. Generally, when we visit we are greeted with smiles and a good welcome. The staff are helpful and kind to my husband. I don't think he could
fare any better elsewhere.
He is being looked after very well and I would recommend this home to people with similar needs.

When faced with a difficult decision of how my mum's end of life care should be managed, a visit to Wren Hall and home visits by a senior member of staff reassured me that this was the right place for Mum's final weeks. From the cleaners to the maintenance team, from the cooks to the office staff, from
the carers to the incredibly skilled nurses, everyone we met over her 4 weeks was kind, caring and went the extra mile. When Mum entered her final day I wouldn't have changed a thing and Mum's passing was as beautiful as it could have been. The presence of the relative's room was completely invaluable. Thank you.

Wren Hall is friendly and welcoming. In Woodnook Lounge the staff work as a team, interacting well and setting the home for the lounge. When not involved in a specific task they will spend quality time sitting with a resident. Activities are provided and the residents are given the independence and
freedom commensurate with their needs. Personal care is discreet. Nursing and day-to-day care are of the highest standard. A visit is always a pleasure.

I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional care and support provided by the staff at Wren Hall Nursing Home to my mum. The compassion, dedication, and professionalism demonstrated by the care staff have made a significant difference in her well-being and quality of life. The
care team has consistently gone above and beyond to ensure my mum's comfort, dignity, and happiness. Their attentive and personalised approach has not only met her physical needs but also supported her emotionally, which has been incredibly reassuring for our family. Their efforts have made a profound difference, and we are deeply grateful for their unwavering support. We are truly grateful for the exceptional care provided and for the peace of mind it brings to know that my mum is in such capable and caring hands. Thank you once again for all that you do.

The family members and residents are cared for with much dignity and friendliness but in a very professional manner. The residence is kept very clean and tidy by excellent cleaners. The catering is perhaps a little inconsistent but the food is wholesome and varied. At about 3-month intervals family
members or friends are invited to have excellent special meals with their loved ones. There are lovely extensive gardens where family members can be taken around and can observe the trees and flowers. This home has a reputation of being the best for many miles around. No wonder it recently had a waiting list of 88!

My elderly mum and dad have been attending the day centre, once a week, for 12 weeks now. Dad has Alzheimer's and Mum was really struggling to be home alone with Dad 24 hours a day. Attending the day centre has really lifted Mum's spirits, she looks forward to it every week. The staff are absolutely
marvellous. They are very attentive, caring and considerate but also make their time here fun and happy. Dad always comes home smiling. I would certainly recommend it to anyone thinking of using this wonderful centre.

My first experience of Wren Hall began in May 2023 when my mother-in-law was a resident. She was so well looked after and was treated with care and compassion and was very happy from day 1 until she passed in December 2023. Now another chapter my mum is in Wren Hall and is being treated with the same
care, which is second to none. The nursing levels are first class, as Mum has leg issues with ulcers, we are informed of every decision made on Mum's behalf.

I moved my aunt from another care home to Wren Hall. The staff at Wren were all very helpful throughout and my aunt settled in very quickly, something I didn't expect as her dementia can make her unsettled in unfamiliar surroundings. I have been impressed with the amount of staff available for the residents
and how they have someone sit with them when they eat. The recording systems are excellent so we can trace things back if we need to.
Very happy so far.

Find the staff at Wren Nursing Home to be kind and caring to both family members, the clients, and to their relatives.
Feel included and welcome in Mum's care.
Mum's behaviour at times has been challenging. Noticed that the staff handle these situations professionally.
Appreciate the home helping
Mum get the continuing assessment to help with Mum's cost for care. I was included in the assessment.
Impressed that I can access Mum's care notes online. Feel this is transparent information Wren has made available.
Feel included in activities i.e bonfire night. Me and my family were impressed with the fireworks display and lovely food. Lovely to be able to celebrate with Mum with the support of the carers.
Carers have made a special effort in finding ways to help Mum feel calm. A life-like doll with a pushchair has been provided which has made Mum more contented.
Mum loves to wander. Carers make every effort to allow this.
Big thank you to you all.

My husband was diagnosed with young-onset dementia, finding the right nursing home for him was extremely important to me. The first time that I visited Wren Hall, it was to look around the Christine Bates Day Centre. I immediately knew this was the right place for my husband. It is clean, bright and
full of activities to enrich the lives of the people living there. My husband went on to use the respite facilities, I could rest at ease knowing that the staff would treat him with compassion, kindness and as an individual. Now he is a resident at Wren Hall, the transition was smooth and done with understanding and care. I feel very welcome when I visit. The garden is amazing and full of things to enhance people's experiences, including a play area for children, animals and various buildings; an ice cream parlour, a chapel, a pub and beach huts! I feel so happy that I found Wren Hall and would recommend it to anyone living with dementia.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.820)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.820) out of 10 for Wren Hall Nursing 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.820 for Wren Hall Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (237 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 283 Ratings = 4.82
  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 Wren Hall Nursing Home is based on 24 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 54 registered maximum number of service users is 10.8, which has been reached with 24 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.
