Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a Chief executive of a local Hospice, I cannot recommend the Old Rectory Nursing Home highly enough. My mother was admitted to hospital after a major stroke in March 2015 and was given 6 months to live. She was transferred to the Old Rectory in June 2015 and they gave my mum a new lease of life.
Having looked at a number of nursing homes, my siblings and I know that we made the right decision for my mum which, as a consequence, has been the right decision for us as a family. Although my mum cannot speak or walk, she is engaged fully in life. The routine nature of the care gives my mum security but the varied range of activities enables her to look forward to the future. The staff give her respect, dignity and a purpose. The excellent management team promote patient centred care throughout the home, delivered by all staff. The staff are attentive, caring, enthusiastic and professional. The food is nutritious, varied and tasty. Cleanliness and infection control is extremely high.

Excellent location, lovely setting and grounds. Mother's room is large and homely - great garden views. Staff are very professional, kind, patient, friendly and caring. Mum has a lot of attention. Food is very varied and good home cooked dishes. Activities are varied and often. The atmosphere
is homely, friendly and open. I feel very comfortable that my mother is receiving the best care possible. A big thank you to all - your care and service is very much appreciated by me.

Review from Dee A (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 August 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Due to mums deteriorating health we had to move mum from a residential to a nursing home on her release from hospital. We could not have wished for anything better than we have with The Old Rectory. The staff all have the residents care and welfare at the heart of everything they do. EVERY member of
the team take time to inform family members how their loved one is doing, feeling, what they've eaten, what they've enjoyed. We were told mum would never get out of bed again and that life expectancy was around 2 months. The team have worked with us all to get mum up, firstly fully supported but now to where mum is supporting herself. This allows mum to be able to mix with other residents and to see what is going on rather than be on her own in her room. Mum is now able to converse with us (every word is valuable, even just acknowledgement that she knows we are there! )
I can not praise or thank the team enough for the quality they have restored to mums time left with us. We hear so many sad stories of poor care that it is really important that we take the time to raise awareness and thank not just good but GREAT nursing care. Thank you all.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.798)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.798) out of 10 for The Old Rectory 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 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.798 for The Old Rectory Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (286 Excellents x 5) + (68 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 356 Ratings = 4.798
  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 The Old Rectory Nursing Home is based on 30 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 39 registered maximum number of service users is 7.8, which has been reached with 30 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.
