Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This has been my first visit. I have, in my time, visited quite a few residential care homes. I was so pleased with my experience at Pennie View that before I left, I felt I had to tell someone. In fact, I told all the staff, including the lady in charge that I had had a wonderful experience. The whole
building seemed alive. My friend's care was excellent. I didn't find the gate to the dementia floor in intimidating - definitely a place to recommend.

Mum seems really happy with her care and the staff are professional, caring and attentive and seem to go the extra mile in fact all residents seem happy and well cared for. The home is clean and tidy, food seems good, you are always welcome, whenever you call no matter what time of the day and I have
no concerns about the mother's care - which is of great relief to me. Thank you very much.

My nan has been in this care home for 18 months and as a family, we are very happy. The staff are brilliant and look after my nan very well.
We looked at a lot of homes for Nan before this one and this is by far the best. Clean and tidy with a great garden area.

Although so far only respite care, I have found all aspects to be good or excellent. Dad will be staying for the foreseeable future as I am very pleased with the care he had been given. I cannot comment on value for money as this has not yet been finalised.

My father has been at Pennie View since November 2022 following a stroke and a prolonged hospital stay. We chose Pennine View after visiting based on the modernity and cleanliness of the premises and the way we were greeted and welcomed by staff. We definitely made the right choice. Although Dad's health
has deteriorated we are more than happy with the care he receives. He is comfortable and settled there. Communication with family is great and all of Dad's needs are met with care, dignity and compassion. Special thanks to the team.

Thank you for taking the time and trouble to review Pennine View, we do appreciate your ratings and comments. The manager and our recruitment team work hard to employ a full complement of staff for the home, but, there are occasions when agency staff are required. If you have any concerns, at any time, please do not hesitate to speak to the home manager who will be only too pleased to listen. Kind regards.

Review from H A (Grandson of Resident) published on 30 January 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My grandmother was a Muslim and a dementia patient. The care home went beyond the call of duty to ensure her stay was the most comfortable and enjoyable. They also ensured she had halal meals, and washed her whenever needed. The care home was very clean with several hand sanitisers in each hallway.
The
only issue we had was with an agency staff worker, who decided to walk a person with mobility issues down the stairs, however, the home ensured the person would not be allowed to continue working there.
At the end of her life, they were very supportive and kind.
You would expect most of this to be easy, but we transferred her here after a few months in a previous care home. Over there she kept falling, kept getting bruises, and her personal belongings and clothing (including nightgowns) kept going missing.
There was so much more the staff did, which escapes my mind, but I would honestly recommend this care home for anyone, especially dementia patients.

Thank you very much for taking the time and trouble to review Pennine View. Your comments and recommendation are touching.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has now been in Pennine View for nearly a year and on the whole, her time here has been happy. If I have any concerns, questions or information to pass on, I feel happy to approach management/staff to have a chat.
At the moment, there is no obvious activity lead hence the lower ratings to good
under the headings of care/support, staff and activities - I am expecting this to be a temporary situation because of a member of staff recently retiring.
On my regular visits to see my mum, I see the residents being offered a variety of snacks and drinks and given a choice of delicious meals.
The home is maintained to a high standard and is well-presented.
The management and staff work hard to provide a happy, caring and safe environment - many thanks to all of the team.

Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
I cannot recommend Pennine View, formerly under another name. It's a lovely setting but the standards of care don't seem to match the building. My husband was admitted, supposedly as a permanent placement, because of his advancing Alzheimers disease. Within 48 hours the staff had decided that they couldn't
meet his needs, none of which were unusual for someone with dementia, and we were asked to take him home. When he entered the home he was smart, clean, and happy but when we collected him he was unkempt and withdrawn. It was a very distressing experience for him and the whole family, at a time when we needed help.
Reply from Alison Foreman, Head of Sales and Marketing at Pennine View

We apologise that you feel the service provided to your husband fell significantly short of expectations, we have recognised this within our complaint response. The home is now under the leadership of a new home manager who has already made improvements to the overall service and care delivery, providing the very best attention is given to all residents within our care.

My grandma has been at Addison Court for four months now and from what I've seen, she could not receive better care. The staff are so kind and are lovely with the residents. No one wants a loved one to need to be in a care home but when round-the-clock care is necessary, this is definitely the right
place for her to be.

Thank you very much for your review, we very much appreciate your comments and your ratings.

My husband has been in Addison Court since January and I am happy with his care since being there. The staff are very helpful and keep me informed of changes in his health. We had a lovely day celebrating the Jubilee with a tea party for residents and families. Thanks to the activities coordinator for
keeping us entertained and the chef who put on a marvellous homemade buffet with a tasty Jubilee cake!

Addison Court looks lovely but when it came to care for my husband who has dementia, ie Alzheimer's, it was really bad, there was nothing at all for him to do, no hobbies or activities. He was stuck in a small lounge straight out from his bedroom and expected to sit there all day. He's an active man
and he got very agitated. He escaped twice due to the number for the door keypad being written on a piece of cardboard next to the front door! He was then sectioned. I had no choices.
Reply from Alison Foreman, Head of Sales and Marketing at Pennine View

Reading your review saddened us. Despite all efforts to offer care and support it was evident that Addison Court was not the ideal home for your husband. The home offers excellent residential dementia care, which after placement, became apparent did not meet his more specific needs. It was the decision of the specialist external health services and professionals to move him to a more secure location. We wish him well and hope he is more settled in his new home. Kind regards.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.494)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.494) out of 10 for Pennine View is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.494 for Pennine View is calculated as follows: ( (113 Excellents x 5) + (47 Goods x 4) + (17 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.494
  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 Pennine View is based on 15 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 15 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.
