I am very pleased with the nursing home in every way, ie. help, advice, care, cleanliness and mostly the way this nursing home and all its staff have coped with this pandemic. I can't praise everyone enough.

My partner gets looked after and care for very well. They meet all his needs. Care staff are kind, caring and polite. Food is top class quality and if he has special food requests they provide this no problem. This care home is an excellent place.

The staff are caring, approachable and will support residents to be comfortable and happy. The home provides modern living within a residential setting. It is always clean and welcoming and doesn't smell of urine like some homes sometimes do. I would definitely recommend this home to others.

I find staff caring, friendly, always wanting to help, can't fault them. But I find they are busy all of the time and very overworked! Not enough staff for the caring level the residents should have.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident for the past 5 years, during this time she has received excellent care and compassion. All staff are very good and it's nice to see the care is given to all the residents. The care home has monthly meetings but if I had any concerns or issues would not have a problem in
talking to the person in charge.

From the day my Mother was admitted she has been treated with respect and dignity. She is always clean and well kept. The food is of a high nutritional value presented well and plenty of it. Mum is difficult to deal with but the experienced well-trained staff are amazing with her. They know her so well,
manager and staff keep me well informed at all times. I am very impressed.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.644)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.644) out of 10 for Peterlee 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.644 for Peterlee Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (145 Excellents x 5) + (65 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.644
  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 Peterlee Care Home is based on 18 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 44 registered maximum number of service users is 8.8, which has been reached with 18 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.
