Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We went in to visit my father-in-law at Wellington Gate. I was very impressed by the friendliness of the staff but also the warm welcoming of the environment and lounge area. My father-in-law had such a lovely 4-week respite - he was well looked after and engaged in many of the provided activities.
I
know he is looking to go back as soon as he can.
Reply from Helen Dunning, Home Admissions Advisor at Wellington Vale Care HomeThank you for this wonderful review. You father in-law is always welcome back any time. He is such a fabulous character, we didn't want to see him go. We hope to see you all again very soon!

My dad stayed at Wellington Vale Care Home for a month for respite care after a fall. The manager and the team looked after Dad, warmly, with kindness and compassion. Over the weeks my dad became his old self, sociable and joined in with most of the activities. Became chatty again and learned to look
toward the future again. He enjoyed, the comfort of his own room, a comfortable bed and the wide choice of meals. Meeting new people and having visitors in a lovely care home setting, often showing his visitors around with pride; saying it was a lovely care home with wonderful staff. He loved joining in with the activities, especially the drum and yoga exercises and the singing. Wellington Vale Care Home is a special place, with warm, kind, friendly staff and feels an extension of your own home. The staff made everything easy and were friendly and accommodating. We as a family would highly recommend Wellington Vale Care Home to others - it was exceptional.
Reply from Helen Dunning, Home Admissions Advisor at Wellington Vale Care HomeThank you for your exceptional review. All of the team here at Wellington Vale thoroughly enjoyed taking care of your dad and really built up a great rapport with him during his respite stay. Your dad built his strength up and began to look forward to each day again, such a wonderful thing for us all to see! It was great to see you all visiting us during our summer Hoedown event too, do visit again soon!

We visited a couple of different care homes for my father and Wellington Vale stood out from the very beginning. When we entered the home we were warmly greeted by staff there was a lovely homely feel and a buzz around the home. Staff were smiling and laughing with the residents. We then returned with
my father he was greeted with great care. The members of staff remembered everything we had told them about him. He was staying for respite whilst my mum was in hospital, unfortunately soon after she passed away. I was informed whilst I was just about to visit my father. The care I personally received from the staff was nothing but brilliant and staff supported us in telling my father. Staff are constantly checking on him and I truly believe they go above and beyond to ensure he is looked after. I would highly recommend Wellington Vale. He is constantly telling us he is happy and the food is amazing 5 star. He also talks about the bed being really comfortable and that he sleeps really well.
Reply from Helen Dunning, Home Admissions Advisor at Wellington Vale Care HomeThank you for taking the time to share your experience of how we personally take care of our residents and their families.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.987)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.987) out of 10 for Wellington Vale Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 59 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 59 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 4.987 for Wellington Vale Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (695 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 704 Ratings = 4.987
  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 Wellington Vale Care Home is based on 59 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16, which has been reached with 59 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.

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.

Helen Cox

Job Title: Home Admissions Advisor Joined: 2020

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.

Job Title: Wellbeing & Lifestyle Lead 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 left residents with a smile on their faces. 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!

I have a great passion for cooking and love to bring a restaurant standard to Wellington Vale. I love to sing and dance around the home, and I really enjoy getting to know each resident. I am a family man and have a beautiful daughter Ivy.
