Since my wife developed vascular dementia in Oct 2015 I was at my wits end. Then a breath of fresh air came into my life by the way of the care home at Guide Lane, the care she has received is next to none, the staff are the best and keep you up to date about everything. If I had to go in a home Guide
Lane Care Home would do for me.

First looked at the home online to see how good the government figures were. Having been impressed by those me and my father came for a visit to the home, after being shown round by the lovely manageress, deciding this was the home for my mum. It was the correct decision and we have been suitably impressed
since. This is the only home we looked at it's fantastic and the staff are amazing so caring and friendly.

My mother lived at Guide Lane Care Home for approximately four years until her death in May this year.


During this time Mum was cared for in a compassionate, friendly and professional manner and our family and friends who visited her as often as possible were always impressed with the caring yet

relaxed atmosphere of the home and we were always pleased to see Mum looking happy, tidy and well-dressed.


Sadly, Mum died in May, aged 95, but thankfully passed away in her own room in comfort and with great dignity.


We cannot thank all the staff enough for their kindness and patience and for the way they looked after Mum with a ready smile and cared for her in friendship as as well as professionalism.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.925)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.925) out of 10 for Guide Lane Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.925 for Guide Lane Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (111 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.925

  • b) 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 Guide Lane Care Home is based on 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 41 registered maximum number of service users is 8.2, which has been reached with 10 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
