My family is very pleased and reassured that our brother is so well cared for at Sherrington House. It's lovely to see the smile on his face when we see him, it is clear that he feels happy and secure. The staff are caring and friendly. Choosing a care home for a loved one is very difficult and stressful,
we are so thankful that we chose Sherrington House.

I arrived here after 3 weeks in hospital. My mobility wasn't great as had a medical issue on one leg so could only weight bear on the other leg. The carers looked after me well and checked on me a few times a day. I had a shower every day which they helped me. Also dressed me as was difficult with my
mobility. Thank you all for everything. I will miss you.

I went to visit 3 different care homes before I visited Sherrington House. As soon as I was shown around I felt that this was the best place for my mother. The care from all the staff from carers, cleaners, nurses, and admin was so welcoming. The time my mother spent there, she was very well looked
after, they took into consideration her needs, her medical history and her dementia. I could have never found a better care home for my mother.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Sadly my auntie only had a short stay at Sherrington House after her original care home closed down. I only wish I had placed her here sooner, the care she received was outstanding, nothing was too much for the staff and she was treated with so much dignity and respect, especially towards the end of
life. Very well-managed and friendly staff, I can't thank them enough for looking after my auntie so well, certainly made her final days comfortable.

Hi Tracy, thank you so much for your wonderful review, it means a lot to us when our clients and family appreciate us. We too are sad that your auntie could not be with us for longer, she was a lovely lady and a pleasure to care for and we will miss her.

Review from M B (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 April 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father was a resident of Sherrington House for fifteen years and was only ever happy and content there. Several years ago, there was an option for him to move elsewhere and he was horrified at the suggestion! I’m sure he complained to staff but was only ever complimentary about them to us. I always
felt happy taking him back to Sherrington House after a day out with family as he was always content to be back. It really was home to him.
I’ll always be grateful for how they treated Dad (even when he was being a pain!) getting him the things he wanted or chatting with him about things he was interested in.
In the fifteen years he was there, he appeared 15 years younger than when he first arrived, both mentally and physically!
Dad’s unexpected passing seemed just as upsetting to the staff as it was to us. We only have praise for them all.
Reply from Carole Darwell, Director at Sherrington House

Thank you so much for your lovely review. Your father was a real character and we enjoyed our daily banter with him. We all still miss him so much.

Review from Babar Y (Respite Resident) published on 12 May 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
The care workers are mainly bad but some are okay, 4 out 10 and others, because they were good to myself, 7/10. I had an awful experience there at the home. After a lot of problems then I tailored my care package. Out of many occasions, I had 10 to 15 minutes help with the toilet for a number 1 or
2. I fell at the care home whilst the care workers were a hoist on myself and almost hit my head on the bedpost when I was lowered too fast.
Reply from Carole Waterhouse, Director at Sherrington House

Firstly, the fall which you had was due to yourself being tired and refusing to be hoisted. We worked along with you to ensure that your care needs were met, however at times when carers came to you at the times you agreed, you would then decide that you did not need the carers but then would ask for assistance later when they were already in the middle of another task, therefore this meant waiting. However, you were seen to within appropriate time frames. You had regular contact with the manager and director about any concerns which would be addressed right away and you yourself were praising that you no longer had any issues. With regards to the hoist, you have already spoken with the manager and again you were made aware that this had been dealt with, to which you were satisfied.
As you were leaving us you said to the manager that you were happy with the service and care that you had received, we therefore feel your reviews are scores are not truly reflective of your stay with us.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All staff were very helpful, supportive and interactive with my mother. They made us feel welcome when we visited and kept us up to date with her daily needs, health and well-being. The care provided to my mother was second to none! The care they provided to Mum by both qualified and non-qualified (support
staff) was excellent. The staff were very diligent in the support and care they gave her, and I can not speak more highly enough of them. The manager went above and beyond her responsibilities, and the front of house - receptionists, the first port of call, were again most welcoming, with a very pleasant telephone manner.
I can sincerely say that the staff team on the whole that I came into contact with were the best that I have had the pleasure of meeting. They made my mother's stay and last weeks the most comfortable that they possibly could.
Well done to all the staff team at Sherrington House; your MD should be proud of the service you provide.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.837)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.837) out of 10 for Sherrington House 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.837 for Sherrington House is calculated as follows: ( (167 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 196 Ratings = 4.837
  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 Sherrington House is based on 17 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 17 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.
