Mother was placed into Snapethorpe, recovering from a broken tibia (lower leg). She quickly decided she didn't like being there. A clash of personalities with some staff and the care she received. Myself and my daughters had a meeting with management, who listened to our concerns and dealt with them,
things did improve, and my mum's attitude was improved by the time she left to go home. She felt they had done a good job of care and friendship. I felt she had good reason to be concerned about her care; she should have been in rehabilitation - not a care home!
Reply from Julie Caygill, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at Snapethorpe Hall Care Home

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased that we were able to work together to develop relationships with you and your mother during her stay. Thank you for your feedback; it is much appreciated, and we will use this to develop our approach with other residents and families. The current Discharge to Assess process in Adult Social Care means people are discharged to services for rehabilitation and assessment rather than a traditional rehabilitation service. This is a new process, and we work hard to ensure our communication with families and the therapy team supports people to move home if that is their goal. We are pleased we were able to support your mother back home successfully and wish her well in the future.

Dad's carers provide interaction and something to occupy a busy mind, however, he is increasingly forgetful and sleeps a lot. We understand that caring for his needs is difficult.

To have found people who care during such a profoundly difficult two years, perhaps only equivalent to a world war time, has been a sanctuary for Dad and also for his family. All staff, from housekeeping to carers to manager, have been kind and empathetic, and above all, caring! As Dad became bed-bound,
it is to their care and credit that he never sustained pressure sores! All staff treated him with respect and loved him as though he was part of their own family, for which we are forever grateful. Thank you for giving us this sanctuary.

Review from L B (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 January 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
My father was admitted for respite care in July 2021 - he had a diagnosis of dementia. On his admission, my family and I gave them a full history of his likes and dislikes. I spent an hour with a nurse on the phone telling her this. My father has always been what we term a 'fussy eater'. Two days
later, I was told that my father was eating cereal - he had never eaten cereal in his life and if you put anything milky in front of him he could be sick at the thought of having to eat it! The next day he was sat having porridge! I asked about his drinking and yes, they were ensuring that he drank. On the Saturday my sister had a call from here, Dad had fallen and they were waiting for an ambulance - no carers were going with him to the hospital! He eventually let the clinical staff take bloods. What did they show - that he was so dehydrated he need urgent admission and fluids. The day after admission he died. Would I recommend here - no chance. And they charged for the full fortnight.
Reply from Diane Kerwin, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at Snapethorpe Hall Care Home

Firstly, we are very sorry for your loss and send our sincere condolences. We apologise that you felt you had a negative experience at Snapethorpe Hall. Moving into a care home can be very unsettling and especially for people living with dementia. We work hard to get to know people and support them to settle in as quickly as possible, unfortunately for some, this can take longer and may impact on their health if they are not able to understand. We will use your feedback to help staff understand the experience you as a family have had and this will help us to develop our approach in the future.

My 96-year-old mother spent her last 4-weeks at Snapethorpe Hall after a 2-week stay in hospital followed by 3-weeks at Rehab after a fall. All the staff I met were extremely kind and gentle, tending to her with great dignity and compassion. I would just like to thank all the staff for caring for my
mother during her short stay with you.

My mother only spent 4-weeks at Snapethorpe Hall. During her short time there, I found all the staff very caring and approachable attending to her every needs, treating her with compassion, dignity and love at all times.
I cannot comment on the activities as she was not well enough to participate.
She
had the highest standard of end of care life possible.
I would highly recommend Snapethorpe Hall.
Thank you to all the staff.

Mum moved into the home in January 2020 and have lived there and been very happy. She has spoken highly of the staff, and we have been very pleased with the care she has received. She has been kept safe throughout the Covid and has been comfortable, content and happy with many friends now.

It has been a rollercoaster for Mum and all the family, but the staff at Snapethorpe have been very helpful and caring to not only Mum but all of us. Mum has now settled in well and is very comfortable, the rooms are lovely, bright and clean. Also, help with food choices, drinks etc. Thank you to all
involved.

I have been made to feel very welcoming. Nothing has been too much trouble, as I have been here most of the day. Food and refreshments have been provided and very nice too (have been spoilt). Awkward questions have been asked and answered in a very courteous and sympathetic manner. All staff from cleaner
to management have had a smile, a kind word and sympathy; it feels just as good today as it did when I came to look round for mum and dad. Covid19 has a lot to answer for and no visiting stinks! This is not a reflection on the home.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mum had been a patient for nearly 5 years, during which time all the staff were lovely and caring towards her even though at times she was violent. My once concern was that during 2019 there was no continuity in the nurse in charge of the nursing unit which was run by supply nurses and they didn't want
to be involved in any queries. The new manager was aware fo this problem and changes are being put in place to address this.
Can't really comment on the food as mum would only eat buns and chocolate. Even when she was dying the carers always made sure she had drinks.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.713)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.713) out of 10 for Snapethorpe Hall Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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 4.713 for Snapethorpe Hall Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (323 Excellents x 5) + (68 Goods x 4) + (21 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 415 Ratings = 4.713
  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 Snapethorpe Hall Care Home is based on 34 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 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4, which has been reached with 34 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.
