The staff have been wonderful caring for my mum. They have offered to take her post and send it and she enjoys the daily conversation with all staff.
The room and bed is always clean and tidy. My mum is treated with dignity and respect.

I am incredibly grateful for the care and kindness the staff have shown my husband since he moved into the home. The staff are always patient, compassionate and attentive, and it is clear that they genuinely care about the residents' well-being. Communication with us is also excellent, the staff always
happy to update me, and answer any questions I have. The home is always clean and comfortable.

The staff at the care home are always happy and willing to help, they have a great relationship with the residence from what I see and seem really happy to be working at the care home. The management team take a flexible approach in dealing with families of the residence depending on the special needs
of the person which I feel is a very sensible way to work. If ever we need to ask for an adjustment, the team will do what they can to assist with this. We are never worried about asking for anything. The food always looks good and I feel confident my father is being well looked after and is in safe hands. This gives us all peace of mind!

I cannot fault the care and attention my brother has had at Romilly Nursing Home. He was only 65 when he moved in but every effort was made to accommodate him. All the staff are very caring and attentive, when at home he wouldn't eat but since being at the care home he is enjoying the food and has re-gained
his weight. Fabulous team from management to carers.

My mum has been in Romilly for over 3 years 5 months. I can safely have a holiday and know she's safe and well looked after. She's warm and secure and is happy in her own way. Staff are kind and caring and treat my mum kindly and I have no problems.

My sister has been in the Nursing home since August 2023, it took her a little while to settle but with the help of the staff she settled down, the staff and management team together with the nursing staff and carers. Also with the activities girls, have been most helpful, I have even noticed that the
maintenance team at the home have been very helpful. The home has been constantly cleaned from what I have observed and the food at the home is very good. The laundry has been kept up to date and if anything is needed it gets sorted straight away. The activity girls are always entertaining residents at the home.
Reply from Mahesh Patel, General Manager at Romilly Nursing HomeThank you very much for your review, I am pleased you are happy with the care we provide for your sister and the home in general. I will be sure to pass on your kind comments to all of the departments you have mentioned, I know they will be very happy to be recognised for the hard work they carry out each day. Regards.

Friendly, kind and caring staff. Always available to help out. They treat all people with respect and dignity. They make sure residents eat well and maintain a good diet. Always informing me of my nan's progress. The residence is always spotless with strong support with bathrooms. My nan is always dressed

I am a support worker who supports a person who has regular respite care at The Romily. I have noticed a vast improvement there recently since they have employed a new manager. The waiting time to be let into the premises has improved, the lounge area is set out in a much better way, and there seems
to be more continuity with staff members caring for the service user I support, which is something he needs when on respite care. The staff there are all friendly and helpful.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.819)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.819) out of 10 for Romilly Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.819 for Romilly Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (255 Excellents x 5) + (52 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 309 Ratings = 4.819
  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 Romilly Nursing Home is based on 26 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, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten 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 73 registered maximum number of service users is 14.6, which has been reached with 26 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.
