Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has been a resident at Wren Hall Nursing Home for two and a half years. She is nearly 97 and suffers from dementia. I cannot praise highly enough the level of love, care and compassion with which she is treated. My mum feels safe, loved, respected and wonderfully cared for. All staff understand
and connect with residents on an individual, personal level and benefit from the 'Wren Hall Nursing Home magic'. Wren Hall Nursing Home is outstanding and acts as a beacon to how care for the elderly should be. Thank you!

Myself and the family visited many many care homes (all more than once) but once we visited Wren Hall, we all knew that this was the home we wanted for our relative. We have never regretted that decision and feel so lucky to have found such a beautiful, very caring home.

Dear Patricia

Staff are friendly, professional and caring. The atmosphere is upbeat and pleasant. Needs are met immediately.
Tidy and safe environment. Any family who asks for information or has any concerns have this given freely and quickly. My nanna is encouraged to do the pots and things for herself to promote
independence. My mum wants to move in and she's in her forties.
Reply from Anita Astle, Managing Director at Wren Hall Nursing Home

Thank you C L, hopefully, it will be a very long time before your Mum ever needs our help although we feel honoured that your Mum would want us to support her!

Review from John (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 14 June 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum-in-law has been a resident of Wren Hall for almost two years and she has flourished in that time. Now in her mid 90s and experiencing significant dementia, she settled extremely easily into the wonderful community that exists because of the incredible individual love and attention that all members
of staff show her, and others in their care. Leadership is totally committed to providing an outstanding ethos and environment and all staff - nurses, carers, domestic, catering - buy into the shared values and vision. Staffing levels are generous; each resident is fully known and understood as an individual and their unique physical, emotional and social needs, and interests are catered for. I admire in particular the way that all staff respect individual residents, give them quality time and treat them with dignity. Wren Hall is a beacon of excellence and we are so fortunate that our mum is so cherished by loving, caring people.

We are grateful for your glowing comments.

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.
