Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been extremely impressed by the level of care at Chapel House. From our initial visit and the ease of getting our Dad moved in, throughout his few short months here and especially in his last days, when every effort was made to keep him safe and cared for. We cannot adequately express how grateful
we are for the fact his last few months were as good as could be hoped for
Reply from Stewart McGinn, CEO at Chapel House Care & Nursing Home

A sincere thank you for this lovely account of your experience with us regarding your Dad's time at Chapel House. We strive to deliver the care you describe in an environment that supports both residents and families.

When my husband presses the button for assistance he waits 15-25 minuts for help. His food is not cut up for him and he can not cut it himself. He does not get checked on very often.

One staff member and all the staff at Chapel House have been so welcoming of my sister who needed to move due to changing needs.
The room is delightful. The food is wonderful and appetising. I haven't yet seen a member of staff not smiling.
My sister settled in almost immediately. We are hoping
a plan to get my sister more mobile will prove successful.

Not updated with staff changes and turnover seems to have been high in last few months, also admin and management change which I was unaware off.
General care is good, dad seems comfortable, sometimes small things seem to be missed but that maybe down to dad being awkward on occasions.

Review from Jackie R (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 February 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father was admitted into the care of Chapel House Care & Nursing Home on the 1st August 2024. From the first day, the atmosphere was warm and homely which gave you a feeling of safety. My father was given 24/7 care by people who genuinely loved what they were doing. Nothing was too much trouble and
dad never lacked for company. It put the family at ease to know that he was being so well cared for. You couldn't single any one person out as they all worked as a team. The home was cleaned everyday, the laundry usually came back within the day and the variety and quality of meals were first rate. The medical team were always around if you needed to discuss anything or were concerned. Everyone in the home, including the office team worked together to make dads stay as enjoyable as could be expected. Sadly, dad passed away three weeks ago and the care and dignity shown to him can never be repaid by the family. The team were totally respectful and caring to him and to his family. I cannot praise them enough.

As my husband has only been in the care home for just over 3 weeks, my review is I am very pleased with the attention my husband is getting. I hope in the future they will try and get my husband out of the bed into a chair and maybe meet other residents. Can't respond to activities as my husband is
bedridden.

This was a very hard and personal transition for both my husband and I. The worry and anxiety were quickly diluted by the warm and caring nature of the manager, reception greeting and all the caring staff. My husband has settled well. The meals are so appetising, and nothing is too much trouble. After
each visit, I leave knowing he is safe and happy.

I am very grateful to all the staff at Chapel House for their attention to my father. They made his last few months as comfortable as possible, acting kindly and professionally at every stage.

We, as a family, were very happy with Mum's excellent care at Chapple House Care Centre. From the moment Mum arrived until the day she left, she was treated with every respect of the best care. The staff were kind, thoughtful, caring and made sure Mym was happy and safe. We were kept informed at every
stage of assessment and helped through things we didn't understand. We are very grateful to all the staff for making Mum's stay a good and caring experience. Many thanks.

We are very pleased with the care that our mum is receiving. The staff treat the residents with care and dignity. They listen to us and ask us to take in things that she needs. With their help, she is not "bed-bound" but sits out in the lounge and is taking a few assisted steps, knowing the staff give
her the opportunities to join in appropriate recreational activities downstairs. Mum is happy and well cared for, and we are happy.

The care my father received at Chapel House Care Centre was top-rate. All the staff from carers, ancillary staff through to management were always friendly, polite, helpful and, above all, caring. My father settled really quickly and it soon felt like home, not only to him but to us too.

Chapel House Care Centre looked after Mum with professionalism and care. The staff were great across the board, from housekeeping to nursing and management. The team were always vigilant and dealt with any potential infections or illness with care and speed. Mum had been very independent and did not
want to leave her home but it came to a point where she could not stay at home. Chapel House Care Centre looked after Mum as well as she would allow them to. I would like to that the team at Chapel House Care Centre for their care, kindness and professionalism.

My Dad sadly had just three months at Chapel House, but it was so welcome after six tough months in lockdown hospital care. It was a such a comfort to me to know he was in the best of care, and it clearly showed in how he was in himself. I really looked forward to every visit, even with Covid restrictions
and was hoping to many, many more visits. His room was great with his favourite pictures and photos out for him. All of the staff were so kind and very helpful at all times, and I will miss them. Chapel House was recommended to me, and I would have no hesitation in recommending it to others.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.680)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.680) out of 10 for Chapel House Care & 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.680 for Chapel House Care & Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (133 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 169 Ratings = 4.68
  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 Chapel House Care & Nursing Home is based on 14 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 41 registered maximum number of service users is 8.2, which has been reached with 14 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.
