Review from Paul E (Son of Resident) published on 5 February 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum was transferred to Mount Pleasant on the 6th of January 2025 from another area to be near family.
The home is exceptional and the staff are caring, thoughtful and proffessional.
Mum is in a great facility with people who are really concerned about her as a human being with a history, family, and
a life before Mount Pleasant.
From my first visit, we were made welcome and Mum seemed better in herself and the place is lovely.
I recommend Mount Pleasant for anyone who is looking for a very good choice for a beloved parent and the entire team are excellent.

Review from Alison L (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 January 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was an intermittent respite resident at this care home over the last six years, initially staying for the 16 months of her chemotherapy, having been taken ill suddenly while staying in the area. She then moved near me where she stayed until the end of November 2023. Each time I went on holiday
she had respite care at Mount Pleasant. Her condition was palliative and her preferred place of care at End of Life was here. The end came quite quickly but the staff were exceptional at all levels in their care. They were attentive, compassionate and caring for both my mother's needs and us the family. All levels of care home staff were able to enjoy a laugh with my mother and she felt safe here. A majority of the nursing, care and ancillary staff were there six years ago, at the start of this journey and still there at the end. In a sector where there is often a large staff turnover, it is a testament to the senior nursing staff and the management team that this isn't the case here. Phenomenal Team!

Mum moved to Mount Pleasant in March 2022 after care at home was no longer viable. Every single member of staff has made Mum's transition easy with their care and thoughtfulness. It has become a home from home. From the wonderful matron and nursing /care staff, the chefs and kitchen staff, maintenance
men domestic staff and, to top it, all the amazing activities ladies, who make trips out and activities the icing on the cake. The whole team are respectful caring and friendly.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at Mount Pleasant have always been so accommodating even during the times of Covid. I have been so impressed by their ability to see residents with the potential to be their best selves. Their willingness to take residents out on lovely trips is exceptional, even for those with issues of frailty
and very limited mobility.

Review from Mike H (Son of Resident) published on 4 May 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Although Dad lived here for just two months and during the Coronavirus pandemic, the care was exemplary. The staff always had time for him and for the family, and nothing was too much trouble.
We visited often through a screen, and Dad always looked well dressed and well cared for. He was on oxygen
24/7, but the home took this in their stride and accommodated his needs.
It was a great comfort to us to know that he was receiving the best possible care, and I would recommend Mount Pleasant unreservedly.
Thank you.

Review from Elizabeth S (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 January 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a family, we would like to thank all the professional, dedicated, persevering, compassionate and attentive staff at Mount Pleasant for turning our mother’s life around. After a serious fall in December 2019 and subsequent hospitalisation, our mother arrived at Mount Pleasant in early February 2020
being both physically and mentally in very poor health. Our mother has now been a permanent resident for 10 months receiving excellent nursing and support staff care (the team including Care Assistants, The Activities Co-Ordinator, Administrative Staff, Cooks, Cleaners, Maintenance). Our mother is now enjoying her food, social life and participating in the many activities the home organises for its residents. Furthermore, our mother feels so safe and stress-free after severe mobility issues. Seeing her return to showing an interest in current affairs is fantastic.
We highly recommend Mount Pleasant as First Class providing an excellent standard of care and well being for its residents.

My mother has been a resident at Mount Pleasant for 5 years next month and during this time she has received excellent care.
ALL the staff at the home are kind, caring, respectful and competent. The home has a very warm and happy atmosphere and I have always been confident that Mum is in excellent
hands.
I would recommend Mount Pleasant Nursing Home without hesitation.

Review from Heather B (Sister of Resident) published on 23 November 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister has been resident at the nursing home for a few years now and although she is deteriorating, her brain is still very active (although latterly her mind has begun to wander) she is very happy there. The staff are absolutely wonderful, all the way down from matron to the maintenance staff.
Whenever my husband and I visit my sister, we are greeted with smiles and it really is a pleasure to visit. Most nursing homes I have visited have a particular smell which is rather nasty but at Mount Pleasant, this is not so; the building always smells fresh and clean.
I am really impressed with all aspects of the place.

I have been here for respite care following a cancer diagnosis and subsequent weekly chemotherapy sessions at the hospital. The staff have been exceptionally kind and efficient as my medications have changed after each session. I am due to have surgery and will remain here for the duration of my recovery
and with the support of the staff, I expect to be able to go home.

My mother has been in this care home for 18 months and has been well looked after. Any queries I have had about her welfare have always been answered with concern by the nursing staff. There is a continuity of staff, a friendly set of care assistants who have been there for a long time. They know each
individual well, recognise and acknowledge family members.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.108)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.108) out of 10 for Mount Pleasant 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 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.3 out of 5 from 2 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 4.783 for Mount Pleasant Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (18 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 23 Ratings = 4.783
  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 3.325 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mount Pleasant Nursing Home is based on 2 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 = 3.125
    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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 10 = 0.2
  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.
