Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My experience so far has been positive regarding the care received for my mother. Any requests have always been acted upon quickly. The cleanliness and nutrition of the care home is to an excellent standard. The staff have always been accommodating and friendly. The only area I would like to see improvement
on is returning clothes to the correct resident, although I do appreciate this can be difficult. When I have raised this it has always been rectified. Mum has hair and nails done and staff take her out.

Review from Pamela Janine W (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 January 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my father came into The Valleys with vascular dementia and was upstairs at first, I must admit it was a bit scary up there but the staff reassured you and put you at ease. The Valley is very professional and I couldn't fault them, they are very attentive and put the parents needs first and foremost
and nothing is a problem for them. They are very caring and have a positive approach to the patient, it can be difficult for them as we all well know, but as my dad is now bedridden and downstairs in the Brimby unit, the staff are still loyal, caring and nothing is a problem to help the patient, they should get paid more for what they do. Thank you.

Would just like to thank all the staff on Brumby who cared for my mother-in-law towards end of life. The staff were very caring and treated my mother-in-law with the dignity she deserved.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The Valleys is a modern, bright, well-secured care home which is well equipped. The staff are friendly and supportive and meet you every need no matter how personal whilst ensuring that you retain maximum dignity.
I do not have mobility for a couple of months but in other respects do have capacity.
I cannot fault the level of care I receive; all aspects are conducted to the highest standards.
The home fully deserves it's CQC rating of 'Good'. (I have checked!)

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad was placed here on the emergency hospitalisation of my mum. Initially for a week but actually being her for 10 weeks in total. The staff got to know him quickly and were very kind and caring. The room was spacious and had an ensuite. It was great to have the added benefit of 24 hours nursing
care if needed. It was sad to leave such a caring environment both for dad and myself. I will miss the staff.

Uncle moved in from another home where he wasn't settled. Since he has been at The Valley's he really has settled. Staff have been very professional and caring.

We have been very happy with the care and attention my mother received during her time at the valley nursing home, staff made every effort in her care we found them to be extremely kind and understanding whilst maintaining a high standard of care. Her room and the home were always clean and tidy, the
staff welcoming and cheerful there is a really "feel good" atmosphere amongst the staff. Thank you!

Review from Sally F (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 January 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
My mum was here at The Valleys for approx 6 weeks respite care. Although most of the day staff seemed caring and kind, the night staff were unkind and a bit abrupt and sometimes not very nice to my mum (according to what she told me). The overall standard of care wasn't that good and my mum was often
in dirty clothes when I visited and often her sheets on her bed were dirty. The smell of urine on her unit was overpowering too!
Reply from Hazel Whittaker, Home Manager at The Valleys Care HomeI am very sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the service, I have spoken to the management team within the home and we do not have a record of any concerns or complaints being raised by yourself during your mothers six weeks stay. I would like to look in to the points you have raised so please could you contact me at the Valleys at your earliest convenience
Kind Regards
Hazel Whittaker

The Valley care home has a lovely warm welcoming atmosphere and I am pleased my mother has been placed here. The staff are outgoing , open and friendly which is just what the residents need ,this includes the cleaners who are very kind . There is lots of space and a very pleasant outdoor area filled
with sunshine but with a safe feel to it . The decor is soothing and the food is superb . There is a relaxed ,easygoing feel about the place. Also, the place smells nice too !

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.659)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.659) out of 10 for The Valleys Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 8 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 4.533 for The Valleys Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (87 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (3 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.533
  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 4.126 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Valleys Care Home is based on 8 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 = 3.65
    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 84 registered maximum number of service users is 16.8. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.8 = 0.476
  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.
