The Review Score of 9.4 out of 10 for Well Springs Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 13 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Well Springs Nursing Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 6 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.773 for Well Springs Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (119 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 154 Ratings = 4.773
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 4.577 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Well Springs Nursing Home is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 10.4 positive Reviews (52 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 6 Reviews ÷ 10.4 Target = 0.577
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Well Springs Nursing Home has a Review Score of 9.4 (9.350) out of 10 and an Average Rating of 4.8 out of 5 from 13 Reviews over all time

In mine and my families experience the care my mother received at Well Springs was excellent. All the staff from senior nurses to cleaners went above and beyond the service we expected. All the care staff were very helpful and nothing was to much trouble for them at any time day or night. All of the staff we met were always friendly and welcoming. The staff nurses went above and beyond the call of duty.

Your kind words are so lovely so thank you so much. Very fond memories of your mum have been shared between all staff since her passing and we truly loved looking after her.

My mum has just gone into the home after a torrid 9 weeks in the hospital. What can I say? Well although it’s only been a few days, I can’t tell you how emotional I am. it’s never a good thing when the time comes to move a parent into a home but I truly, honestly can’t recommend this place enough.
The staff are amazing with my mum as she can be a bit challenging. It takes special people to be careers of dementia people and the team at Well Springs are awesome.
The welcome we received makes you feel as if you have known them for years.
Thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart at how it has put my mind at rest knowing that my mum is cared for and looked after. Once again, thank you.

I have found the staff to be professional, polite and extremely considerate on every visit. The standard of care provided is of a very high standard, consistently my mother-in-law is happy, very well cared for, clean, well fed and despite being bed bound has no pressure sore or redness. She is spoken to in a kindly and appreciative manner. She enjoys a laugh and a "sing" with the staff despite being unable to communicate in sentences. I am very happy and can relax knowing she is safe.

Our Dad, responsible, a speaker in his career and church, supportive, funny, caring. He enjoyed life and everyone in it. Sadly struck down by a stroke, loss of speech and then the loss of his wife, our Mum.
How could he settle into a nursing home, losing his wife, his home and with Aphasia.
Well Springs is a home filled with love, care, energy, happy, comforting and clean. Dad had a cheeky relationship with staff, although he could be stubborn, challenging at times. Clearly, he was loved and respected.
His friends/residents were also looked after because Dad wouldn't have settled if they weren't, always caring for other people. He loved the food, always first in the dining room. He was well groomed, had fabulous beard and haircuts. Staff shared jokes with his grandchildren. The little tots loved going.
God bless each of you hardworking adorable staff. We appreciate your love and support in his last hours. Thank you, you were his angels. We will miss you, you became our family.

Thank you for your kind words. It was a real pleasure to look after your Dad, he had a wicked sense of humour and he is sadly missed by all staff and other residents. Our staff are indeed hard working and it's lovely for them to know they are appreciated. Thank you.
Review submitted on 19 December 2017 from a Website Submission by Josephine M (Daughter of Resident). on Tuesday 19 December 2017 . Relates to May 2017.
We needed end of life care for dad and were extremely anxious about doing the very best possible for him; we would have preferred to look after him at home but this was impossible. Starting with the initial visit, nothing was too much trouble for Matron and her dedicated staff. They cared for dad in a professional manner, treating him with gentleness, sensitivity and respect at all times, and taking into account family preferences with regard to care decisions. The entire family was constantly made welcome, looked after physically/emotionally and most importantly, treated as 'people' as opposed to clients - from providing dad with a birthday cake, feeding us at all times of the day/night, to attending dad's funeral, a final gesture which touched us very much. We were moved by the compassion of the staff and the way in which dad was treated with genuine care. We really could not have looked after my dad better at home. Thank you Well Springs; We are truly grateful for everything.

Review submitted on 2 October 2017 from a Website Submission by Pam M (Daughter of Resident). on Monday 2 October 2017 . Relates to September 2017.
Mum was a resident for all too short a time as she was seriously ill on admission but the staff treated her like an old friend. The care and kindness shown to her by the staff was wonderful and everyone who visited mum remarked about the pleasantness and helpfulness of the staff. Right from the moment when my sister and I went to look round, we were impressed by the attitude of the staff member who showed us around and explained the set up there. In the last few days of her life, the family were overwhelmed with the kindness and understanding shown to us. Mum was not fit to be involved in activities so it is hard for me to comment but there did always seem to be things happening when I walked past the lounge and the board showed a whole range of events.

Thank you Pam for such lovely words.
We enjoyed looking after your mum and ensuring she was always tucked up with her little brown dog. Our staff are so wonderful and work very hard to ensure everyone living at Well Springs is as happy and as comfortable as possible so I'm glad you and your family felt that.
Once again, thank you for giving us the opportunity to look after your mum.

Having looked around various care homes, Well Springs appeared best because of it's homely and friendly atmosphere.
Many homes were better furnished and decorated but lacked that "caring feeling".

My husband becomes quite aggressive and verbally abusive from time to time. Staff deal with this with great care and thought for him, other residents and also myself when visiting him.
He has very bad mood swings towards me and they take care of me as well as my husband with a great deal of thought and understanding.

Probably one of the most difficult decisions in life arises when a loved one needs to move into residential care. The best thing I've noticed about Well Springs Nursing Home is its staff. They give care to the residents with infinite patience and dignity thus ensuring a happy, homely environment. Everyone is very welcoming - it is lovely to see residents and visitors greeted by name and with a smile! The decor is well maintained with lovely bedrooms which residents are encouraged to personalise and many a visit has been enjoyed sitting in the beautiful garden. Having made regular visits to see my mother (a resident since 2010) and seen the loving care provided, there is no doubt that Well Springs Nursing Home was the right choice for her. Thank you to those who look after her so well.

My friend has been resident here since April 2012, and I would like to say that through all this time I have been very impressed with all the staff at this home. Their attitude, genuine care and compassion, and support have been extraordinary. Not just to my friend, but also to his now late wife. The support they gave her was unbelievable. Like an extended family!

Review submitted on 15 January 2016 from a Postal Card by B S (Husband of Resident). on Friday 15 January 2016 . Relates to December 2015.
My wife had a stroke doing mental damage in 10/1995, following she was in hospitals and care homes to December 1997 when she has a broken hip. On leaving hospital I got a place for her at Well Springs in January 1998. For 9 months my wife shouted and screamed when spoken to, she had a nice modern en-suite single room, warm with pleasant garden views. The staff were very good, patient, caring as they had to toilet, dress, wash and feed my wife initially.
Gradually over 18 years in Well Springs my wife has made tremendous improvements, not shouting, knitting, and word search, she can answer questions (not if a decision is needed), is good humoured. The difference is remarked from when she went to Well Springs. Today the staff although changes have occurred, are a credit to Well Springs as are the management, they are nice people doing their best for all residents. Now my wife and I enjoy short trips out by car, bit of shopping etc.

Activity staff are brilliant with residents. Always doing different activities with them e.g. drawing, painting, quizzes etc. Care staff and domestic staff are good with residents. Toileting problems are an issue, staff not always available when required at times. (This is not all the time).

Review submitted on 21 December 2015 from a Postal Card by V E (Widow Widower). on Monday 21 December 2015 . Relates to December 2015.
Having been an architect all his working life my husband at the age of 45 developed cerebellar ataxia. I managed to care for him for over 20 years but in Feb 2012 a care home was needed Well Springs Nursing Home was chosen and not having dealt with CA before they did wonderful care. His dignity always maintained, help with feeding when required, personal hygiene excellent and spotlessly clean room. Well Springs Nursing Home was also my home as well as his as I could come and go when I wanted and take meals with him at anytime. Nothing has ever been too much trouble from any staff. Sadly my husband passed away after a long battle with CA on the 16th Oct 2015. I have no hesitation in recommending Well Springs Nursing Home to anyone needing care.
