Mum has been in Almond View for 2months now and the care and attention she is receiving is excellent. The staff are very friendly and attentive and available at all times keeping us well informed of mums progress. As a family we are comforted that mum is safe and well looked after. After looking around
at several care homes we are more that satisfied that we have found the right one.

My Aunt has settled very well into Almond View and I put this down to the friendly and approachable staff. There seems to be a calmness in the home that shows in the residents. A lot of thought and effort has been, and continues to be put into activities and my aunt for one, enjoys and looks forward
to them.
There is a lot of recreational areas allowing the residents to have a choice at all times on where to sit and relax or take part in activities.
Pleasant place to visit and from what I can see, a pleasant place to live.

My mum moved into the care home in May 2025. On arriving at the home my mum was little anxious, the staff made her feel welcome and she was more relaxed.
I can't thank the home Manager and the staff enough they have made us the family feel very welcome nothing is to much bother and the staff go that
extra mile.
My mum has made friends with the staff and other residents, this give and my family a peace of mind know she is well looked after. She alway looks clean and well cared for. She has been putting on weight and staff offer alternative choice if she doesn't like what is on the menu. I can't thank the staff at Almond view enough for all their support in helping my mum settle in.

My relative was made very welcome and the care team made her very comfortable. They helped her deal with her anxiety . The staff members fully explained to the family members the process of admission. The room was prepared and and comfortable. Within a few days there was an amazing change to the
my relative. She was relaxed and interacting with staff and other residents. Staff have always been approachable and give advice and appropriate information. The care home is very well maintained and provides a wide choice of activities. From my family members experience I would recommend the care home to other families.

I cannot praise the staff of Almond View highly enough . The care and attention given to not only my sister but our entire family as a whole has been outstanding .
The meals are fabulous - my sister is gaining weight . We love the cafe on a Wednesday and try to come for this as often as we can .
The
activities really are excellent - there seems to be something for everyone . The atmosphere in the home is happy and welcoming .
The nursing staff are attentive , reactive and kind .
The manager is visible and accessible .
I honestly couldn't recommend Almond view enough .

Review from Allan H (Son of Resident) published on 20 December 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was transferred to Almond View Care home where she was made to feel welcome after 12 weeks of care in the hospital where she was severely deprived of stimulation resulting in weight loss. Within three weeks of the transfer, she was gaining weight, interacting with staff, other residents, and
attending activities three times a week. It was therefore tragic when she had a stroke just as she was starting to make such magnificent progress.
Luckily, Almond View also does end-of-life care and we were able to get her back to the surroundings she was comfortable in for her last week. With nurses available 24/7, they ensured she had a peaceful and dignified passing with everything being done in a caring rather than a functional way.
I also could not have been treated better for that final week, with 24-hour access and genuine kindness being shown by the staff. From the home manager to the cleaners, everyone cared, and that is what makes a great residential nursing home.

My Gran has been a resident at Almond View for just over a month.
The difference in her is clear to see for all, she is safe, happy and has put on weight since being in the home.
The activities are fantastic, always something on for everyone, great atmosphere and all the residents seem happy.
The
staff cannot do enough for you, nothing is too much trouble. I always feel welcomed.
Management is approachable, visible and knowledgeable and guided us as a family through the whole process of moving Gran into the home.

Our mum was admitted to Almond View Care Home from hospital. We knew she was going there for end-of-life care and so did Mum. She was in her 90's and physically failing but still enjoyed a chat and music and cheerful company. From the day I visited the home before Mum was admitted, until the day she
died a few weeks later my sisters and I were met with friendly smiles and helpful staff. Mum was treated with respect, kindness and warmth. From the receptionist to the manager, service staff and carers, we will be forever grateful to Almond View for making our mum's last weeks peaceful, calming and friendly.
This will not be the smartest home in the area but I don't believe you'd find one with more caring staff.

I think the standard of the home has gone down in the last year. Not enough staff to care for residents, a lot of agency staff, especially at night. Not enough domestic staff, cleanliness has gone down. There is a lot of good about the home too. I don't agree with the two homes being put into one home
with a new name.

Thank you for your comments. The information regarding Almond View having access to a minibus was outdated and has now been removed. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

My partner has been resident for almost two and a half years. During this time, excluding lockdowns, I have only seen professional, courteous care by all grades of staff. This purpose-built facility provides necessary equipment e.g. pressure mattresses, hoists and in our case, a custom-adjusted wheelchair
was obtained from the NHS. Overall I am content.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.659)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.659) out of 10 for Almond View 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.659 for Almond View is calculated as follows: ( (152 Excellents x 5) + (49 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 211 Ratings = 4.659
  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 Almond View is based on 17 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 78 registered maximum number of service users is 15.6, which has been reached with 17 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.
