Review from Eleanor D (Sister of Resident) published on 9 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
My sister was a resident at Stockingate care home , she was happy there for 4 years , then things changed and I believe her care went downhill, I would not recommend this care home, I wish that I had removed my sister before she died in hospital.
Reply from Steve Smith, Operations Manager at Stockingate Residential Home

We are truly saddened to read your comments and would like to extend our condolences on the passing of your sister. She was a valued member of our Stockingate community for many years, and our team remember her with great fondness. We take all concerns raised by relatives extremely seriously. In this case, your representations were fully reviewed internally and externally, including by the Care Quality Commission and senior company leadership. No evidence was found to support the claims of a decline in care. We remain confident that your sister continued to receive compassionate, professional and person-centred support from our dedicated team throughout her time with us. We recognise that the period surrounding a loved one's declining health and passing can be very distressing, and perceptions and emotions can understandably be heightened. We remain fully committed to transparent communication, and we would be happy to meet with you again should you wish to discuss

What an absolute gem of a care home (Stockingate). This home really cares about the residents. The staff are absolutely outstanding, and nothing is too much trouble for them. It’s like one big happy family. Always recreational games/karaoke/dancing with both residents and carers getting involved. The
teamwork and team spirit is breathtaking. They go above and beyond in everything they do. I can honestly say this care home is second to none... thank you so much for everything you do for my dad.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The care my Dad has received at the home has been excellent.
The staff are wonderful and treat my Dad with dignity and care.
The home has improved considerably recently with regards to decoration and furniture.
I still think some of the furniture could be improved/updated.
I am very happy with the
care provided for my Dad.

Review from B G (Resident) published on 16 August 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am so sad to leave this lovely home and all the staff as I have to move nearer to my family. The manager and staff at Stockingate have made me feel so welcome and special over the last few months and I will miss them all terribly. The home is wonderful with lots to do. I enjoy the singalongs and garden
club. The food is great and there's lots of it as it's all cooked fresh on the day. I will miss everyone and I am sad to go. Best of luck to you all at Stockingate. God Bless and bye bye. Thank you for all your support, care and kind words.

My mother seems happy, comfortable and well fed. She has lost parts of clothing but has retrieved them and now has her name in them. We will be putting her own TV in her room shortly although she may not be staying there. As we live so far away.

Review from Winifred Rose J (Wife of Resident) published on 25 January 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
At first I was not pleased with the home, twice I visited he was wearing other peoples clothes, I had taken him plenty of his own, but someone soon sorted it out and after that he always has his own on, and now I can't fault it. The staff are very nice in every way, and always ask if you want a drink.
I visit every day and see how they treat everyone as if they are their parents.

Current Review Score: 1.7 (1.667)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 1.7 (1.667) out of 10 for Stockingate Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 1.7 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 0.0 out of 5 from 0 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 1.667 for Stockingate Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 1.667
  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 0 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Stockingate Residential Home is based on 0 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) =
    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 25 registered maximum number of service users is 5. 0 Positive Reviews ÷ 5 = 0
  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.
