The best part of Victoria House are the staff! Very caring, kind and honest. Had an incident where they found a large sum of money in a pair of trousers which has probably been there for years! They were on the phone immediately to report it, very much appreciated. They respond immediately to the smallest
problems - maybe regarding mislaid items, mixed up equipment etc. They all seem to treat the residents with dignity and kindness.

Review from Helen D (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 19 May 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Nana stayed in Victoria House from Aug 15 until May 16.
She was extremely well cared for. All her needs were met 24/7.
The nursing team managed to stabilise her medical conditions which hadn't been managed in her previous care home and they did this within just two months of her moving there.
My Nana's dignity was maintained throughout her stay which was of utmost importance.
The staff were so friendly and always helpful.
My Nana was so happy throughout her stay which was the most important thing.
The end of life care she received was excellent and the staff supported us as a family more than we could have ever asked for.
I cannot recommend this home highly enough.

Further to my previous comment I agreed to three months to see if things improved. I am pleased to say great steps have been applied and maintained and my mother is beginning to be treated in a better way and standards in all areas are being raised.

Review from Ian W (Son of Resident) published on 12 April 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father was a client at this home for a number of years before he died. I used to visit every day and still do but not as often as I used to. Over the years I have visited the home, I have never had or seen any mistreatment of any of the clients by the staff.
The staff have always been polite and
caring and courteous to myself and the clients. I couldn't fault the way they cared for my dad right up to the day he died. Other homes in the company at the time had a bad report but nothing I saw in and around the care home was of a low standard.

My mum came into Victoria House after a stay in hospital. She is well cared for, she is treated with dignity at all times. The staff are friendly and approachable. Mum has complex needs and is now settled and well cared for. The food is well prepared and well presented and nutritional. The home has
a friendly atmosphere and is always clean.

The staff are caring, honest, 24 hr care excellent. Food was disgusting when mother was first admitted after discussion things improved and meals are now eaten and enjoyed. We would like to thank all staff for caring about our mother at this time in her life and also to inform you that the home as really
improved. My mother will miss all the staff and has improved since being admitted.

I cannot commend Victoria House enough for the care and compassion shown to my mother-in-law and members of our family. We treat Victoria House as her home - nothing is too much trouble for the staff and by extension they look after us too!

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My sister had a stroke at home August 2015, she was taken to North Tees Hospital where she spent about 6-7 weeks recuperating. It was obvious that she would need further care so we searched for a home that provided nursing care and came up with Victoria Nursing home and we are so pleased with our choice
because we have found the care, food, room etc to be excellent.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.674)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.674) out of 10 for Victoria House 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.674 for Victoria House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (129 Excellents x 5) + (56 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 187 Ratings = 4.674
  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 Victoria House Care Home is based on 16 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14, which has been reached with 16 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.
