Today I visited my nanna for the first time, I was very nervous as I wasn't sure what to do but once I met the lovely staff they put me at ease. A lovely welcome and Easter celebrations with the residents, as well as Easter bonnets. My nanna's room was spotless and it had all her favourite pictures
up.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My aunt seven months ago lived independently and drove her car and did her shopping with just my sister helping her carry it to her car. Her memory was starting to fail and Alzheimer's was diagnosed. She later had a funny turn, as she called it, and vascular dementia was diagnosed. She deteriorated
rapidly had a fall at home and ended in hospital. After a catalogue of poor care, I brought her to Newcastle and placed her in a care home, very close to me that, I myself had worked in as an agency nurse; I knew the quality of care. I knew that they where never dragging her out of bed at 6am to be up for the day staff. I knew she would be looked after. My aunty last year had no idea who I was, prior to admission she stopped eating and drinking and lost her will to live. After moving to Kenton Manor she has started eating, drinking and now when I visit she recognises me and greets me with a smile. Thank you for bringing her back! This home actually cares.

Review from Nicola G (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 24 February 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
From my gran being placed in the care of Kenton Manor there has been one thing after another.
The amount of times I have had to comment about my gran's poor hygiene as she uses her fingers to eat, so that is very important. My gran wearing other people's clothing even though name tags were bought.
Care staff not knowing the basic procedures of their job (the worst one was the tipping of my gran's wheelchair with the handles). The latest was the back garden gate propped open with a rock so anyone could enter or leave. I was told no paperwork for visiting or covid results were needed and I haven't filled any out in two weeks now. I was also told on one visit I had to provide my own. I could go on and on.
The lies that go on in that place to cover up mistakes are amazing and every time I complain my visits go down. The change in my gran in a year is heartbreaking as it is most definitely not a good change. If you are looking for a new home for any loved one I would most definitely not recommend it.

When my aunt went into Kenton Manner, I did not know what she was going to be like as she had been in two other homes. But since she’s been there, she is very happy, the care she’s receiving is outstanding, she always looks good when I visit, I know she can at times be difficult, but the staff manage
with care and compassion. I am so happy for her.

Thank you so much.

Kenton Manor is a unique home. It is flexible and relaxed. The residents have choice and support. All-day long residents are free to roam and interact.
Kenton Manor may not tick all the bureaucratic boxes but it works so well for residents and relatives. As a relative, I can visit any time and feel
well supported by intelligent and empathetic staff.

My mum and dad were very happy here. The staff and management were excellent, treating my parents with dignity and care at all times. The staff took time to engage with my parents whilst carring out their duties. They both ate and slept well and were very contented whilst staying here.

My mother recently passed away in Kenton Manor after a long time living there. She was one of the first to take up residence there and l have to say as a family we have nothing but the highest praise for the wonderful staff who have looked after her over the years. She suffered from dementia for the
8 or so years she was there and received the best care we could have wished for her. We, her family, are so grateful to the manager and her staff. We couldn't have chosen a better place for her to be at the end of her life. Thank you all.

Kenton Manor is usually calm and welcoming to visitors. Residents are moving around quite confidently, staff are quick to give help when they anticipate any difficulty.
The residents are well cared for, I think my husband looks well cared for and extremely well shaved!
The hairdresser is good-natured,
knows patients names and is an asset to the staff. All the staff are kind and helpful (to visitors, other staff and most of all patients!)
Activities are planned every day, there's a good organiser.
The nursing staff are confident, calm and reliable.
it's a very demanding job.

The overall care is satisfactory on the different occasions and times that I am a visitor to this home. However, the staffing levels could be reviewed as there seems to a number of occasions where the place seems understaffed.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.887)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.887) out of 10 for Kenton Manor is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.1 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 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 4.078 for Kenton Manor is calculated as follows: ( (83 Excellents x 5) + (47 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (18 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 166 Ratings = 4.078
  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 4.809 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kenton Manor is based on 11 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 68 registered maximum number of service users is 13.6. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.6 = 0.809
  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.
