I have been very pleased with the level of care provided to my mother at Wellington Vale. The staff are very good at keeping us updated on how mum is doing which is much appreciated .We were so relieved to find somewhere where we felt comfortable leaving mum which suited her needs and which we felt
happy with. The admissions process was smooth and the understanding provided to the family at this difficult time was very much appreciated . There are different activities each morning and afternoon to keep the residents busy and entertained. The staff are very caring and professional. The food is excellent as are the facilities . We are very happy with Wellington Vale for my mum.

Reply from Helen Dunning, Home Admissions Advisor at Wellington Vale Care Home

Following a series of stokes and hospitalization my Dad initially came to Wellington Vale on a respite basis as he was unable to live independently. The level of care has been exceptional, the staff have been amazing - incredibly attentive, proactive, interested not only in the health of the residents
but also their life and enjoyment. As a result of the exceptional care, my Dad has recovered to a level that has exceeded our most optimistic expectations, allowing him to lead the best life he can. My dad loves Wellington Vale, the activities challenge him mentally and physically, best of all we have piece of mind, if anything happens the staff and resident medical staff have got it. I cannot tell you the relief.

Reply from Helen Dunning, Home Admissions Advisor at Wellington Vale Care Home

Thank you for this exceptional review! It has been heart warming to see Dad settle so well and regain his strength, confidence and witness his witty character. Dad really loves the fun we create throughout the home during activities and has built up a lovey rapport with the residents and team here. To know you and your sister feel like you are back to being 'daughters' again is incredible and testament to all the team here at Wellington Vale.

My mum has been at Wellington Vale on several occasions during the last few years for respite care, whilst I have been on holiday. The staff have always been amazing and she felt at home from the first moment she arrived.
All the staff I have met are friendly and caring and the support they give also
extends to family members too.
Her most recent stay followed a period of hospitalisation during which Mum had become very frail. We had no hesitation in contacting Wellington Vale to ask them to provide respite care to help Mum to mobilise and rebuild her confidence.

Thank you for sharing your experience of our home and team here at Wellington Vale. We all love welcoming your mum back each time she stays for respite and hearing all about your holidays too! Mum is a very special lady who we embrace as part of the Wellington Vale family.

During the time my very good friend was in Wellington Vale. I can honestly say she couldn't have been cared for better! All the staff went above and beyond, her every need was catered for, emotionally, socially and adjusting to a new life. Everyone has time to talk to not just her, but us too, as friendly-
she was never short of a friendly conversation, a smile or even a hug. Well done WV you are fabulous!

or looking for a Care Home for a family member. Once again I will use the word 'kindness' as that epitomises the Care that my Dad receievd.

Wellington Vale Care Home is an outstanding facility. From the minute you walk in the door the attention to detail and professionalism of ALL the staff is obvious. Everyone from the chef to the senior nurses are welcoming, friendly and absolutely on top of their job. The decor, public spaces and individual
rooms are all bright and airy and well designed to meet the needs of the residents. I cannot fault the care given to my father in law and throughout his 11 month stay was repeatedly surprised (and grateful) for the level of care and the effort put in to ensure all his needs were catered for. Despite having advanced dementia he was happy and settled. The management staff are completely approachable and always available to discuss any queries. I doubt there is a better Care Home out there.

My mother-in-law has settled in so well to Wellington Vale, having moved in just before Christmas. She had been reluctant to take the step but has actually enjoyed letting go of all the day to day problems running a house entailed. She loves the garden, especially the wild life that can be seen from
her penthouse and the fact that someone else cuts the grass and hedges! She's made good friends there and the nurses, carers and activities team are dedicated and very understanding of her needs and wants. Nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff, whether that is planting flowers from her old garden, having a chat whilst cleaning her room, sorting out a sticky door or booking her in for a hair cut.

The team at Wellington Vale have made Mum very welcome since she moved in. Although feeling uncertain about the home, she has been very well cared for and now loves her new home. She has made new friends and loves the staff who care for her. She loves the meals and has put weight on since relocating.
She enjoys most of the activities, especially the balloon volleyball and trips out.


The facilities are amazing and the staff so welcoming, engaging and helpful, both to Mum and us.

The team at Wellington Vale are outstanding. I cannot recommend this care home enough. Upon entering it is like a 5-star hotel, so welcoming from the start. All the staff are amazing, so kind, caring, well trained and knowledgable. They all respect their residents, treating them as individuals, preserving
their dignity and promoting a wonderful sense of self-worth. The ratio of staff to residents is evident every time we visit, all staff are cheerful, never seem to be in a hurry so they have plenty of time to attend to the needs of individual residents without having to rush them. The meals are awesome, homecooked and well thought out with plenty of choices. I am pleasantly surprised that my mum has settled in so well, she feels safe, secure and part of a large family at Wellington Vale. The Home Admissions Advisor and team certainly exceed all expectations. Thank you to everyone.

My mother-in-law always dreaded going into a care home, we were so pleased when we found Wellington Vale. The members of staff are lovely, caring, approachable, great at keeping the family updated and asking for our input. We've been to a few events here the best was the carnival on bule Monday, it

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.976)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.976) out of 10 for Wellington Vale Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 66 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 66 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.976 for Wellington Vale Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (772 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 790 Ratings = 4.976

  • b) 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 Wellington Vale Care Home is based on 66 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16, which has been reached with 66 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Sandy Atkins

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2022

What I Do:
As the general manager I am responsible for the day-to-day management of the home. I support and lead every department and team member to ensure we deliver quality care and the best home experience we can to our wonderful residents. It is also very important for me to be available for our residents and their families, to remind them my door is always open, and they are welcome!


My Experience:
I have had the privilege of working in care since the age of 17. My very first role was as a care assistant and then I worked hard to gain the qualifications and experience to become a registered nurse specialising in Orthopaedics. I have always had a passion for working with our elderly population and transitioned over to the social care sector.


I have worked within both large and small organisations and have been in a variety of roles including 'Head of Care and Operations Director’. After a career change joining Hampshire Constabulary for a period of 6 years, my heart took me back to working again with the elderly which I love.


About Me:
My out-of-office activities have included obtaining the rank of Captain in the Territorial Army, something I am very proud of. I really enjoy keeping active in various sports including boot camp and I am currently training for a 100-mile walking challenge. I very much look forward to meeting you at Wellington Vale.

What I Do:


As the Home Admission Advisor, I am the main point of contact for new residents and their families. I guide and support them through the decision process of choosing a care home by providing them with information on the choice of our care options, facilities, and the expertise of our team. The best way for residents and families to ‘feel’ our beautiful home is to tour it, so I love to show them around and give them an opportunity to see for themselves everything we have to offer and to meet our incredible team!


My Experience:


I returned to the UK in 2012 after working in Ibiza & Italy in the Tourism sector for 14 years. On my return, I joined the music and entertainment industry, managing DJs and acts from home before venturing back out into the workplace and joining the Wellington Vale team.


About Me:

Job Title: Activities Coordinator

Joined: 2021

What I Do:
My role is to compose activities and events for the residents that are inclusive, enjoyable and exciting. I liaise within the local community, arranging community group visits within the home and to outside events too – this helps to promote a social network for our residents. My role includes creating activity plans based on well-being, mental stimulation, physical well-being and, of course, the most important ingredient: fun!


My Experience:
I started at Wellington Vale in January 2021 as part of the care team. Every day I always took pride in ensuring that I always left residents with a smile on their face. This helped me to make the easy decision of joining the activities team in May 2023. Exactly a year later to the day I started my role as the Activities Lead and I am still making sure there are lots of smiles and laughter too!


About Me:
I live locally in a shared house with my lively housemates. During my time off I like to crochet, and go for nice woodland or beach walks. I have many lovely and kind friends and family that I’m so grateful to have in my life!
