I would just like to say that this care is wonderful. They look after my brother so well and he is happy living there.
I cannot thank all the staff enough.

Think the Nursing Home could 'up' their standards a little. My mother's room could benefit from cupboards being wiped along with bumper on side of the bed. Door handles need sorting been like that for 2 years! I feel sad to think that because she is bed-bound and not able to express herself then all
these things do not matter. But they do. One carer last week fed my mother with a spoon and failed to wipe her face. I had to ask the carer to wipe it clean, which she did but with total disinterest. It's the basic kindness and care towards my mother is what I wish for but do not see much of this. There is much more I could say but things happen each time we visit and I come away upset.

Reply from Gaynor Abrams, Business Development Manager at Alston View Nursing & Residential Home

Thank you for your review. I believe that the home Manager has arranged to meet with you next week to discuss these matters, which I am confident will be resolved.

My experience of Alston View and the staff is extremely positive. The attention to detail and care is second to none. My mum has been so ill but the staff and nurses have taken such good care of her. I cannot praise them enough.


Before she came here, she was adamant she would never go into a home

but now she has totally changed her view on that.
It has been marvellous. Thank you so very much to everyone for taking such excellent care of my precious mum.

I visited my grandmother recently at Alston View Nursing Home. I must say that all the staff were lovely and my grandmother seemed to be really happy there. My grandmother's room is so cosy that it doesn’t look like it is in a care home. We could not be happier with her care. Thank you to everyone.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.299)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.299) out of 10 for Alston View Nursing & Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.299 for Alston View Nursing & Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (81 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 137 Ratings = 4.299

  • 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 Alston View Nursing & Residential Home is based on 11 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 11 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.
