My mother was placed in Williamston Nursing Home due to frailty, having lived on her own for many years. She settled in very quickly due to the attentiveness of wonderful caring staff, nothing was too much trouble and she was still able to make decisions for herself. She was welcomed as if she were
a family member and treated as such. I can't recommend Williamston enough. My mother even gained weight whilst there as she said the food was always lovely! Excellent home, excellent staff.

I can honestly say the staff at Williamston have been amazing. Nothing seemed too much trouble & they went out of their way to assist us on the passing of our dear friend.
The staff work very very hard & even when stretched to the limit we were treated with respect & a welcoming smile. We have been
kept up-to date at every opportunity & have considered the staff friends for many years. I cannot thank them enough for their help & generosity even in our toughest time of saying goodbye. Thank-you

Williamston Nursing Home is set in a lovely location and is a warm, friendly and welcoming environment. The staff are kind, caring and compassionate looking after residents with dignity and respect. It is a comfortable, supportive and happy home where all the staff ensure the needs of residents, however
complex, are met - for which I am thankful.

A family friend recently moved to Williamston Nursing Home and since being there she has done so well, staff are really friendly and provide great entertainment, the staff dress up as unicorns, Santa and a snowman to ensure everyone had a fab Christmas. Also, they are gradually redecorating the home
and the new colour scheme is fabulous and helps create a fresh look.
Reply from Kole Grewal, Director at Williamston Nursing Home

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review for us, this really means a a lot. My staff and I try our very best to make the home as comfortable as possible for the residents and take the time and care necessary. I'm also glad you have noticed the ongoing redecoration programme, which will take some time but a fresh look and new subtle colours were necessary.

Review from L P (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum became a resident of Williamston in February 2024. This was a hard transition for her, from living in her own home to living with others. As a retired nurse she can be very precise in what she wants to happen, when and how. The staff have always tried their best to accommodate her wishes, in a kind,
caring and friendly manor. Early in Mum's stay the home changed hands. The manager and senior nurse working together have made improvements in the standards of care being provided to my mum. The home itself has lovely grounds to use nice weather. The interior is quite tired but recently re-decoration and refurbishment has commenced. Mum has to have a soft diet which the staff try to make as interesting as possible for her, they try their best to tempt her with different things i.e. welsh cake. The activities lady has been off for some time and Mum says she misses that interaction. Thank you to all the staff for your kindness and commitment to Mum's care and feelings.

Review from P H (Resident) published on 8 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Having arrived in the previous month (July 2024) and settled in, I have found Williamston to be friendly, calm, and enjoyable. I was made to feel most welcome. As someone new to living in an environment like this, I was rather anxious about asking for things. As an example, being diabetic, I have to
be careful about what I can eat, so at my first breakfast, I requested to have Marmite spread on my toast. Profuse apologies followed, the kitchen had none in, but the next morning there was a jar of the spread on the table. It's been on offer every day since. Nothing seems too much trouble. That little gesture made me instantly feel part of the 'family'.
Many of the residents suffer from dementia, I don't, my mind is clear, but I do have trouble with my walking and balance and I am prone to fall. Nevertheless, the staff are all really friendly and are always able to help when I need it. To be totally honest, I can find nothing to fault.
Reply from Kole Grewal, Director at Williamston Nursing Home

Thank you for taking the time to write a review for us. Your input is invaluable and I continue to try my very best, to make this a home for all our residents. My team and I try very hard to make sure every need is catered for.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I feel so lucky to have both of my parents in this nursing home. As a family, we were dreading the moment Mum and Dad could no longer manage at home, but they are actually more settled and happier at Williamston than they were in their own home! The culture of care at Williamston is excellent. Nothing
is too much trouble and my parents are cared for with dignity, respect and lots of lovely humour. Everyone goes the extra mile to make them happy and comfortable whilst ensuring all their complex care needs are addressed. We all feel very lucky and relieved. I can highly recommend it.
Reply from Kole Grewal, Director at Williamston Nursing Home

Kay, thank you so much for the review. I could not have summed up better our goals here at Williamston. My staff always put dignity, respect, humour and care at the centre of everything they do. I am making improvements to the home, building, gardens, equipment and staff training. These things take time and I make it my personal mission to make home even better.

A first-class care home set in Pembrokeshire. All staff are friendly and fully qualified. There is always a warm welcome as soon as you go through the door. For any needs that a resident requires the home gives 100 per cent to carry out their wish. I would recommend Williams Nursing Home to any upcoming
resident.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am so grateful for the outstanding care my elderly Grandma receives here. From the moment she moved in, it was clear that she was in good hands. They go above and beyond to ensure her comfort, safety, and happiness, treating her with the same kindness and respect they would show their own family
members. I will always be thankful to the staff for letting our family create life long memories with my grandma by helping us organise a 'wedding reception' in the care home so she could be a part of my sisters wedding.
The place is always immaculate and welcoming, with a warm and friendly atmosphere that makes visiting a pleasure. The staff are always so attentive, and genuinely caring, always taking the time to engage with my Grandma and address her needs promptly and with compassion. I cannot thank the team enough for their exceptional care and commitment to my Grandmas well-being. Knowing she is in such capable and loving hands brings our family immense peace of mind.
Reply from Kole Grewal, Director at Williamston Nursing Home

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. My team and I try very hard to make the home welcoming, friendly and homely. Taking the time to host the wedding reception was our pleasure, we want to create long-lasting memories for families and their loved ones. We continue to work hard on decoration, training of staff and bringing the home back to its former glory.

From the first moment I stepped into Williamston Home I knew this was the best home for Dad. The staff and management are cheerful, work very hard and above all else are very kind and understanding about Dad's dementia. The staff and other residents have become a second family to Dad and I. Thank you

My mother has lived in Williamston since 2021. When she moved in, it was a difficult time for all of us, especially as Covid restrictions were in place. However, we were made very welcome, and while she was in quarantine, we visited every day.
As would be expected, she has deteriorated a lot in that
time, but she is so well cared for and known. There are so many little instances we have seen that demonstrate that all the staff know her well.
I have complete confidence in the staff to care for Mum and feel they care for her in the way I would like a friend to do - they are physically affectionate but never inappropriate. We feel like we are visiting Mum in her home, not an institution.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a wonderful review. We aim to provide the best care service we can and hope to improve on the buildings and gardens this summer to make it magical again. Our aim is to make it feel like home, and I'm so glad you recognise this.

My aunt has been a resident at Williamston Nursing Home for just over two years. She originally became a resident after a fall which resulted in a lengthy recovery. The staff were excellent throughout this phase of her stay providing round the clock treatment and care until she recovered. My aunt was
then diagnosed with cancer and continued to receive the highest quality of care, despite finally becoming bedridden until her death at the beginning of May. The staff kept her going and it was always a pleasure to visit her and hear about how well she was being looked after by the team. I’d recommend Williamston to anyone.

Superb support for my father through what has been a very difficult time. My father was in Williamston for six months and they did everything to keep us informed and able to have contact with him. To have to choose a home when you are unable to see it was worrying but the staff were amazing. Thank you

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.743)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.743) out of 10 for Williamston Nursing 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 4.743 for Williamston Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (142 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 183 Ratings = 4.743
  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 Williamston Nursing 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 34 registered maximum number of service users is 6.8, 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.
