My mum has been in the care of Somerton Private Nursing Home for a few years now. The standard of care given to her has been excellent. We feel very happy that she has been looked after so well and know that she is in safe hands. The staff, from cleaners to management have been very welcoming to us
as a family. We are treated with respect and are informed of everything that happens with Mum. Any issues we have are treated well, and a good communication link exists between us and the home.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Staff are generally friendly, especially "one" whom I commend. I appreciate the range of activities offered to support residents but would remind staff on "pets day" not to assume that all residents like handling small animals such as guinea pigs and others. My mother does not wish these pets placed
on her lap at any time as she is uncomfortable with them, but she does like dogs. She also enjoys the music events provided.
Reply from Paul McCambridge, Proprietor at Somerton Private Nursing Home

Thank you for taking the time to submit a review for our home. We do have a broad range of daily activities to suit all residents based on their individual likes and dislikes. Many of the residents do really enjoy the pet therapy though staff always consult with individual residents regarding their participation. Any who express a reluctance or dislike for any of the animals are not forced to participate. Having checked with several staff members, I can assure you no Guinea pigs or other such animals were placed in your mother's lap.

I have seen a huge improvement in my mother since she arrived here. She has put on weight, seems more alert and is much cleaner. The staff are very helpful and friendly, and I believe Mother is a lot happier.

I am very pleased with the care provided to my mother since being placed at Somerton. Staff always make themselves available to talk to. I hear communication between staff and residents during my visits; this is always respectful, caring and appropriate. Senior staff make themselves available to discuss
care and any issues arising. My mother has settled well and enjoys the company and activities available.

My mother is very content and well cared for, always clean and tidy. The staff are fantastic, extremely helpful and caring and always accommodating. Residents are always treated with dignity and respect. The facilities are very clean, and the garden is well-tended, with beautiful flowers. My mother
gets her hair trimmed and tidied regularly and gets lovely blow-dries, also her nails are kept beautifully trimmed and polished if she wants them done. At mealtimes, the food is well present and looks and smells delicious, and my mum enjoys it. I have no concerns and am always happy with the care she receives.

I am extremely pleased with the care and attention my friend receives. Unfortunately, we lost my friend's husband in the last couple of months, but I have to say the staff went above and beyond to help myself and his family get through this difficult time. I'd highly recommend this care home.

Staff are care home received my father with very short notice. Despite that, they all treated him with kindness and professional care. They treated me exactly the same. I now walk into a beautiful, calm building knowing he is clean, safe, cared for and loved. I thank all the staff from the bottom of
my heart.

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.
