I would like to thank all the staff on Preston Lodge for looking after my mam. You all do an amazing job. Can't fault anyone. I'm not happy with all the staff you are changing. The lady who runs Preston Lodge is an amazing person, goes up and beyond to help all the residents. I'm just hoping my mam
does get all the help she needs, as she loves all the carers that are there now, as she has got used to them, this is through bad management that is happening.
Reply from Davey Taverner, Digital Marketing Manager at Saltshouse Haven Care HomeThank you for taking the time to review Saltshouse Haven, specifically the Preston Lodge unit. We are thrilled to hear you are happy with the interaction, and high level of care our staff are able to provide your mum.

Mum is very well cared for by the fabulous team. The grounds are really well maintained and the housekeeping staff also do a terrific job. The team in the laundry are efficient and friendly. The activities team work hard to keep everyone engaged. The carers do a wonderful job, despite the challenging
nature of their work. It's a relief to know our mum is safe.

My Mam's birthday was on the 5th of August. I would like to say thank you for making it brilliant. We really do appreciate all that you do for her and couldn't wish for her to be in a better place. She has settled in really well and that's all down to the lovely carers. She can be her cheeky self and
loves it when you are cheeky back to her. That's the Mam I know and love but hadn't seen for ages before she came to you. You can all take credit for that because you brought her back out of herself. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Very pleasant surroundings, friendly, caring staff. Sometimes seemed a shortage of staff, and didn't have time to answer your queries, and always seemed to be in a hurry, but overall, a lovely place and the staff did care, even down to the cleaners. Only thing I would like to add is too much mobile
phone use!
Reply from Lynn Billingham, Business Development Manager at Saltshouse Haven Care HomeThank you for taking the time to submit a review for Saltshouse Haven. It is nice to hear how happy you were overall with the surroundings and caring staff. We use an electronic care system to record and monitor the care records of all our residents; these handheld devices look like mobile phones, which enables the team to spend more quality time with residents rather than completing paperwork in an office. We would like to reassure you that the home is always staffed in line with the number of residents and taking into account the specific care needs of residents. We are sorry that you felt the team didn't have time to answer your queries; our home manager operates an open-door policy and is always happy to reassure you about any concerns you may have.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the moment my grandad arrived, I couldn’t believe how lovely and welcoming they were, which was the same throughout his full stay. The care they provided wasn’t like it was just their jobs, but they had a genuine interest in the wellbeing of the residents; the care and respect shown to my grandad
and also his family will never be forgotten. My mum mentioned how the staff wasn’t just staff but family in the end and was there not just for my grandad but my mum, who spent many hours by his side. When my grandad arrived, he came from another care home, which admitted in the end that they couldn’t provide for his needs, but from the state; he was in on arrival, and how they helped him get back on his feet was amazing. It honestly felt that they couldn’t do anything else for him, never giving up on making sure he had the best care possible. The activities/live music was just lovely to see, which you could see/hear. Honestly couldn’t thank all the team at the care home enough. Thank you!

My brother came to live in Salthouse Haven in November 2022 he has really thrived since coming here. He is very well looked after and the staff are excellent. I have no problems whatsoever. My brother has lived in care homes for about 23 years and has had 3 care homes since September 2022, others have
not met his needs but Salthouse Haven has.

My mother was reluctant to go to a care home. After a few days, she realised everything she couldn't do anymore was done for her with love and care. We, as a family, found all the staff, both day and night. Excellent, loving and caring does not really put into words how she and we felt. A big thank
you.
Reply from Lynn Billingham, Business Development Manager at Saltshouse Haven Care HomeIt is always difficult for families and their loved ones when they take the difficult decision about moving into a care home, but many families, like yourself, are pleasantly surprised at the love and care provided in care homes. Thank you for taking the time to share your postive experience, which will help other families looking for care homes in the future.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.624)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.624) out of 10 for Saltshouse Haven Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.624 for Saltshouse Haven Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (245 Excellents x 5) + (100 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 362 Ratings = 4.624
  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 Saltshouse Haven Care Home is based on 30 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 150 registered maximum number of service users is 30, which has been reached with 30 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.
