My husband was in here for short term respite. I couldn't praise the Orchard more. They gave my husband excellent care. I always felt he was safe!
I could not have picked a better home. Manager, nurses care workers gave myself and my husband the most excellent care.
Would highly recommend the orchard!

My nan has been in this home for nearly two years and has said how happy she is there. Ideally she would love to be at home but is happy with the care she recieves. My grandad is always welcome. The manager will help and support the family whenever needed.

Dad was admitted into respite in October 2024 and was welcomed with open arms. Staff are friendly, helpful and nothing is too much trouble. I can tell staff who deal with Dad care about the residents and their needs. The care home is clean and always smells fresh. We have as a family decided this will
be a permanent move for Dad and the manager Ann has made this difficult decision easier for myself and my sister.
Reply from Davey Taverner, Digital Marketing Manager at Orchard Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to review Orchard so highly. We know making the decision for a loved one to be placed in full-time care is daunting and we are thrilled we could help and support yourself and your family with this transition.

The staff will be so glad to hear your lovely, kind words of recognition and we thank you for your review. Have a lovely day.

Two things really stand out most for me with The Orchard. First and most important, the kindness of the staff. My husband is treated not just with respect, but affection, and is very relaxed and happy there. Secondly, the peace of the setting. There are mature trees on all sides of the property, so
all the rooms look out on nature. It's an elegant Victorian building and the spaces are light, airy and gracious.

My mum has been a resident since December 2022 and has settled very well and always appears happy and content when I visit. Staff are always very polite, and they have a good rapport with Mum. I think my only niggle is that sometimes staff have not ensured she has her denture in when she's assisted
with getting up. The laundry staff takes great care of her clothes, always very well cared for.

The care my mum has received so far has been fantastic. Nothing is too much trouble, staff are so friendly and caring, even on the days when we aren't able to visit and we ring to check how she is doing - they are very helpful.
The care home is lovely and clean and fresh smelling. The staff who are
cleaning the home are also so friendly with the residents. It's a home-from-home feel.

My nan has been in respite for six weeks. She has been cared for so well at Orchard. My grandad visits daily; he is made to feel so welcome by the staff, even offered a meal while is there. Her mobility has improved, and she is looking forward to returning home in the next week. She is happy with her
room. Staff are really kind and caring. Would highly recommend.

Food can be hit and miss - sometimes, it is of excellent quality, and at other times is poor.
Sometimes, the availability of certain foods is poor - certain items not available are bacon, marmalade, drinking chocolate, cheese and coffee. These are all items my mum has requested and been told are not
available.
Care staff are kind, caring and excellent at what they do.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.619)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.619) out of 10 for Orchard Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.619 for Orchard Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (179 Excellents x 5) + (79 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 270 Ratings = 4.619
  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 Orchard Care Home is based on 23 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 57 registered maximum number of service users is 11.4, which has been reached with 23 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.
