I can not speak highly enough of Somerton Private Nursing Home. The levels of care and support my Mother has received is incredible. From day one the staff who are so friendly and 100% professional at all times have truly delivered the best of care to my Mum, she is really happy in Somerton. You hear
some bad reports about care homes but this place is fantastic - ten out of ten.

Both my parents have been cared for in this care home. The family has been very pleased with the quality of care. The atmosphere is calm, the residents seem content. I have been visiting for over 5 years and have never heard a staff member raise their voice to a resident.

Somerton Care Home is the best care home I have ever experienced, I was always so worried but seeing how much my nanny is settled and happy is such a relief for me. The staff are always so lovely and caring towards everyone, they always do things with the residents which is great to see. I just love
how happy my nanny is which is so the most important thing.

Review from Grace L (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 20 March 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My nanny needed 24-hour care after an admission to hospital and we had to source a care home that met her needs. This was ours, as a family, and my nanny’s first experience of this process. Somerton have been absolutely wonderful with my nanny. They are so respectful, kind and compassionate. They take
the time to get to know my nanny, her likes, her dislikes. They manage her anxieties or stresses and have an unbelievable sense of compassion for the residents under their care. From the manager, to the nurses, care assistants, activity coordinator and all other staff - they all have my nanny's best interests at heart and have truly been wonderful. In their care, my nanny is getting back to Nanny and she is thriving. We as a family will be forever grateful for the support they have gave us as a family and my nanny. It has been the best choice for us and the support she needed at the time she needed it. Not one member of staff isn’t engaging and welcoming. It is a wonderful home.

I highly recommend this nursing home. After debating for a while whether to place my grandmother into care, I eventually chose Somerton. All of the staff are great, the care she receives is fantastic and more importantly my grandmother is happy. Any issues that arise I am made aware of straight away.
I couldn't have chosen a better place for my grandmother.

I am delighted with the standard of care my mother has received since becoming a resident at Somerton. She has flourished, gained weight and seems a lot happier and more at peace. She loves the activities and singsong. The staff are brilliant with her and go the extra mile at all times.

My father has been a resident for four months. The nursing home staff are always very welcoming. The manager and the nursing staff keep us well-informed about my father's care and are always available to answer any questions we may have. The care staff are always very approachable and helpful. The activities
are well organised by the very caring coordinator, and I enjoy seeing the photos on the relative's Facebook page.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.868)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.868) out of 10 for Somerton Private Nursing 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 17 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 4.868 for Somerton Private Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (178 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.868
  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 Somerton Private Nursing Home 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 26 registered maximum number of service users is 5.2, 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.
