Review from Ann L (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 March 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Green Acres Care Home is such a wonderful clean, warm, caring place. I've just spent a week of visiting and staying with my mum who was 86 years old. The staff are so caring and polite, not only to my mum but with all of us too, taking time out and sitting in a room with you while you are upset, providing
us with sandwiches, scones and cake on a daily basis while we were comforting our mum. We had this from all levels of staff right up to our mum passing away on the 29th February 2020. All I can say to anyone wanting a care home for their loved one is you can not go wrong choosing Green Acres. You get all you want from clean tidy rooms to 100% quality care from every member of staff, whether they do the admin work or clean, care for patients or make the food, and to Green Acres I would like to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for everything each and every one of you did for my mum. Thank you.
Reply from Sadie Suthern, Home Manager at Green Acres Nursing Home

Thank you for your kind words and response. We will be sure to pass this to all staff. Regards.

Review from C A S (Relative of Resident) published on 12 February 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Green Acres is a comfortable and clean environment. The resident's rooms are functional but can be made more homely by personal touches such as pictures, photographs, etc. The dining room is inviting and there is a comfortable lounge that the residents use for activities and gatherings. My dad doesn't
use the communal lounge or participate in activities but from what I have heard the other residents really enjoy the singalongs!
The staff are kind and attentive, a smile, a kind word and a cup of tea really helps if my dad is having a bad day or needs reassurance. The kitchen team provide very good home-cooked food and will try their utmost to meet all diets and taste. My dad has a very poor appetite but they encourage and tempt him to eat by trying different foods.
Dad requires 24/7 nursing care which the home provides with the help of his onsite Nurse, GP and other care professionals so I know his health is being monitored 24/7.

Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
1. The home is badly in need of decoration and renovation.
2. Cleanliness is below a standard, any reasonable person would expect.
3. The quality of care is highly questionable.
4. My father has eaten very little if anything in the home.
5. Father has one armchair. A large amount of fluid on
the seat. Strange considering father as been bed-bound for 9 months.
6. The key code entry was changed in November. On every visit, I ask for the new number. So far, every member of staff has been unable to give me the number.
7. Do staff answer the buzzers? Not in my experience. The buzzers are continuous with staff reluctant to answer them.
8. I arrive at around 7 pm when visiting my father, the inconvenience on the staff's face is clearly evident. They cannot wait to usher me out the door.
9. Unenthusiastic staff. More supervision is needed.
10. In summary, the end of life 'care' for my father in this tired, run down and uncaring environment. Will be on my conscience for as long as I live.
Reply from Sadie Suthern, Care Home Manager at Green Acres Nursing Home

Dear AW, thank you for taking the time to leave the review. Providing high quality of care is of utmost importance to us and we take reviews like this very seriously. To make sure we address all of your concerns, without sharing private information about your father's stay, the care home manager arranged a meeting with you to discuss this. We believe we have addressed all of the points however if you do have any further questions please do not hesitate to get in touch. Kind regards, Green Acres.

My mam seems quite pleased in her new home. She has come on so well. All staff have been good to her, also she can feed herself now. She is learning to walk again with staff. She has come on a great deal.
I'm very pleased with her and all the staff at Green Acres for trying to make this possible.

Having visited a number of nursing homes prior to visiting Green Acres, I felt immediately at ease when I entered reception. I was greeted by friendly/attentive staff, coupled with a fresh clean smell of lemon. The look of the lovely and recently decorated reception area was a very pleasant surprise.
This high standard continued throughout the home - the rooms are larger than average and although we decorated mum's room prior to her moving in, they are clean and stylish. The lounge/dining areas are newly refurbished and very spacious and mum enjoys both areas with other residents when she chooses. The gardens are now being used by residents/family members with garden parties and lots of tea! There are two Activity Co-ordinators that do a great job managing to accommodate individuals. All staff, from the housekeepers, carers to the nurses are attentive and make an effort to get to know all residents. The food is good/varied and the team go out of their way for all. A lovely home.

It is approximately five years since my wife started being with the origins of dementia (mind wandering). She slowly got worse. The last two years the illness really took hold from bad to really bad. I looked after her the whole time. She was given respite twice for me to have a break. I was not really
impressed. They didn't come close to the care and attention she gets here.

Thank you for your lovely review. We are holding monthly coffee mornings for relatives and friends should you wish to join us. There is a notice on the entrance for these dates. It would be good to see you. I will give this feedback to the team who will really appreciate it.

Care home is great. I am delighted with the care my friend receives. The staff are very caring, very polite and I can see their hearts are in the jobs. My friend is very well looked after always well dressed, could not get a better care home. Very clean. Staff are superb.

The home is very tired and in need of decoration without delay, especially the front entrance doors and inner doors.
Lighting is atrocious in the bedrooms, with only a low wattage ceiling light, most of the rooms are dark due to the overgrown hedges and large trees surrounding the home.

Whilst knowing services were provided, I used the opportunity to read a lot and therefore, did not participate very much in the activities provided, but I was kept informed when the events were to take place, which appeared to be many. People appeared to be happy with the activities provided.
The staff
were very helpful, cheerful and always showed respect.

I have the care of this elderly lady who was admitted with a broken leg but she remained to receive end of life care (she is 100 years old). This care home is exceptional. The standard of nursing care cannot be faulted and the resident was shown every care and kindness. Buzzers were answered promptly,
she was kept clean and comfortable. Staff genuinely seemed to care about the residents and the premises are clean and cheerful (although the décor and carpets are looking a bit "tired").

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.120)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.120) out of 10 for Green Acres Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 4 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 4.422 for Green Acres Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (23 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 45 Ratings = 4.422
  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 3.698 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Green Acres Nursing Home is based on 4 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 = 3.375
    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 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.4 = 0.323
  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.
