Review from S M G (Wife of Resident) assisted by family/friend published on 21 February 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
I feel that the care home is lacking in staff. Also, breaks should be split so there are at least two carers in the lounge at one time.
Also, this is a very vulnerable unit and should have more carers on Waterside House.
No security at all - my grandson had his motorcycle taken in broad daylight.
Security must be a priority for all!
Reply from Clare Sheehan, Care Advisor at Florence Mill Care Home

Thank you for your review; we value all feedback as this allows us to improve our service where required. We were sorry to hear of the theft of a family member’s motorcycle, however, unfortunately, as with most car parks, vehicles are left at the owner's risk. Our home is staffed according to Residents needs and staffing levels are regularly reviewed. Waterside is staffed with 2 nurses, 4 carers and a hostess and staff breaks are split, with 2 out of 7 staff taking breaks at one time. Please don’t hesitate to liaise with management at the home, we are always happy to assist with any issues you may have.

My mum went into the Waterside Unit in Birch Court in August 2015 when she was in a bad way, since then she has come on fantastically. She now eats on her own and has calmed down a lot. She interacts with the staff and other residents alike. She has put on nearly 2 stone in weight which was needed,
she was skin and bones because she refusing to eat. The staff are wonderful, patient and kind, so I would strongly recommend the Waterside Unit. Thank you so much from myself and the rest if my mum's family.

I would like to pass on my sincere thanks to the carers, nurses and managers of the residents in Fern House, who recently looked after our Dad during a two month stay. There was always a friendly atmosphere and myself and my family were made to feel very welcome when visiting. Thank you for looking
after him so well. If the need ever arose again, I would be confident of his care in your hands.

The care home has now purchased comfortable new chairs for the residents in the lounge and dining area. The lounge and hallways are much improved following the recent refurbishment, nice and clean. The staff work really hard and the improved environment is better for all!

Current Review Score: 8.4 (8.367)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.4 (8.367) out of 10 for Florence Mill Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.0 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.000 for Florence Mill Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (55 Excellents x 5) + (52 Goods x 4) + (20 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (9 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 140 Ratings = 4
  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 4.367 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Florence Mill Care 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:

    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 150 registered maximum number of service users is 30. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 30 = 0.367
  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.

Job Title: Nursing Home Manager Joined: 2022

Commenced as Nursing Home Manager of Florence Mill on March 25.

Glady

Glady Gervacio-Ardivilla

Job Title: Nursing Home Manager

I am a dedicated and compassionate Registered Nurse with over 15 years of diverse clinical experience in both the Philippines and the UK. My nursing career began in 2009 as a Nurse in the Philippines, where I developed strong foundations in outpatient care, health education, and preventive medicine. I also served as a Nurse in a corporate occupational health setting before relocating to the UK in 2019.


Since moving to the UK, I have steadily progressed in the adult social care sector – working as a Registered Nurse, Unit Manager, Clinical Lead, and most recently stepping into the role of Home Manager at Florence Mill Care Home in March 2025. In these roles, I have gained extensive experience in care planning, team leadership, and quality improvement. My leadership journey reflects a strong commitment to person-centred care, staff development, and operational excellence. I am passionate about providing high-quality, person-centred care and creating a supportive environment for both residents and staff.
