Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father-in-law has been staying in Tenlands for respite, so it's his first stay. I have to say, we are over the moon with the experience he has had. He has said the staff have all been fantastic. He has also been so happy with the food that he has had, I'm sure he will have put a stone on when he
returns home. Thanks so much for helping put all our minds at rest through what could have been a worrying time. Brilliant service all-round.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
One of the most difficult decisions I've ever had to make is to choose a care home for my dad after it was no longer safe for him to remain in the family home. From point of enquiry we were given information promptly and the manager allowed us a look around, answering our many questions. He then came
to hospital to meet Dad and he's been available to support ever since. All Tenlands staff I've met have been amazing. They really do care, which is a huge comfort. They keep me and Mum updated with stuff and he's well looked after. Food appears good, with plenty of choice, rooms are clean and good activities available. Thank you to all the team, you're amazing.

Dad has been a resident since Xmas and the management and staff couldn't have made him feel more welcome. Friendly staff, lovely room and amazing food! Also the entertainment program and decorations for every occasion are absolutely lovely, especially the balloon arches. The staff make the home look
very welcoming and homely.

My father has been at Tenlands Care Home nine years and my mother also moved there last year. The staff always work positively with my parents, despite both being significantly impaired, and support both them and me. They are kind, friendly and provide a caring environment. The food is great. I am very
grateful for the warm, supportive environment they provide.

Review from M C (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 September 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Having been transferred from hospital to Tenlands, initially for respite and then as a permanent resident. Mum was looked after with utmost care and consideration. We felt that staff quickly knew her, they were aware of her likes and dislikes and spent time with her. As a family, we felt confident that
she was being given the best care and despite her deteriorating health, staff showed compassion and care that at times took our breath away. She was treated with dignity during personal care. She had the opportunity to select from a varied menu at mealtimes. Unfortunately due to health, she was unable to fully integrate into social aspects of the home. Staff at all levels took care of us as a family as well as Mum for that we will be forever grateful.

To use Tenlands Care Home for my late wife to reside was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Nothing was too much for any of the staff and always made decisions with my wife in mind. Her treatment and care were second to none and I thank each and every one of them.

All of the staff are extremely helpful and friendly. Our relative in the care home seems to have good relationships with the staff who are always smiling. Our relative always tells us how she is well-fed and always enjoys the food and wide variety of options. It has been a very positive experience for
our relative but also as a family visiting.

We have found the provision and service at Tenlands Care Home to be genuinely warm and caring, especially considering that the admission for my father was arranged so quickly and efficiently. Staff that I have spoken with have all been helpful and compassionate and my father has settled really well.
It is such a relief to know that he is safe and well looked after. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.944)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.944) out of 10 for Tenlands Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.944 for Tenlands Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (302 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 320 Ratings = 4.944
  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 Tenlands Care Home is based on 27 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, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.05 Points for the next five 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 27 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.
