The care and help my mother-in-law has received at Wellington Vale has been excellent. From the initial enquiry about a room, to her arriving at Wellington Vale, the staff have been very friendly and helpful. They have provided us with regular updates as to how she is and the progress she is making.
My mother-in-law is very happy there and well looked after, which is what we wanted.

My Mum came to Wellington Vale after being in hospital for several months, following two falls. The care she has received, from day one, has been brilliant. The staff have been so helpful and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The staff have been excellent in keeping me informed about how my
mum is settling in and her progress, which has been fantastic, due to their care and help in building up her confidence.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Wellington Vale is a purpose-built modern 3 storey building that is more like a four-star hotel than a Care Home. My experience, to date, is that all members of staff are most obliging, friendly and helpful and some go above and beyond what is required of them. The individual rooms are large with en-suite
wet rooms and all comforts that one would choose for themselves. The catering side is excellent, with choices. They also have activities every day for those that wish to participate and staff encourage the residents, as much as possible, to be active in both, body and mind. My own mother is one that is rather reluctant but they have never given up trying, for her own benefit. When she first joined the home, she had a very old fashioned view of homes and was, in her own way, scared of what she may find. I’m so delighted and relieved to say she cannot praise them enough and is so happy and well cared for there. This makes my life easier, knowing I don’t have to worry about her.

My mum has been at Wellington Vale for four months. She is very well looked after and seems very happy there. I swore I would never put Mum in a home but it really is the best thing for her, everyone is so friendly and made me feel very relaxed about the transition. Everything was done for me and the
Home Admissions Advisor did all the work for me. They always FaceTime me on time and it’s so lovely to see Mum so well cared for. I’m kept up to date with Mum's medical needs. I just can’t wait until things go back to normal and we can resume visits. Judging by the videos, all the residents look as if they have a whale of a time and it seems to be a very happy place.

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

Thank you for taking the time to write this really wonderful review. You are right, our residents really do have a whale of a time on a day to day basis and there is nothing better than hearing that you, as family, see that. I remember supporting you when Mum moved in, it is a difficult time for all family members but that is what I am here for and I am glad to hear that my role as Home Admission Advisor helped you.

As the daughter of one of the residents currently at Wellington Vale, I have to say I am extremely impressed with the care. Staff always go above and beyond for my mother, even answering her phone for her when she is not able to reach it herself, due to her poor sight. The home always smells fresh and
I never have any concerns over the safety of my mother. Whenever I have visited my mother, all the residents have always looked very well presented and well cared for. I was most impressed with the way a certain issue with my mother's GP was handled, quickly and efficiently by the care team. It was such a relief. The care team always keeps me informed about my mother's health conditions, any issues and decisions are discussed with me and my mother, with honesty and empathy. Staff's work can be stressful, however, I am always bowled over by their cheerful and upbeat disposition. On my visits to my mother, staff welcome me as a member of their family, a cup of tea always there for me.

I found Wellington Vale advertised on the CQC web site, where it had good reports and I reviewed it with a number of others in the local area. The video tour was excellent, particularly as we were locked down, due to Covid. My mother moved to Wellington Vale in October 2020 with advanced Alzheimer’s.
From the moment she walked through the door, they were kindness itself and understanding. It seems like a luxury hotel with first-rate food and she always, even in the days of Covid, has plenty of activities in which to participate. Would highly recommend it.

My godmother was terminally ill and required 24/7 nursing care. From admission on December 10th to her passing on December 28th, the standard of care was outstanding. The care compassion and dedication of staff were beyond words it was so heartwarming to see. The standard of the home interior was as
described, luxury. Every aspect of the service was 1st class and I felt totally reassured that my godmother was in the very safest and best hands. I would recommend Wellington vale 100% without reservation.

My aunt has been living in Wellington Vale on the dementia floor since November 2019. The care she has received and is receiving is excellent! This year has obviously been a very difficult one for all the residents, staff and relatives of those in care homes. Whilst face to face visiting was off the
agenda for a while, I had video calls with her which were lovely. The current visiting protocols are safety led while still being face to face. The food is lovely, the care is excellent and during these testing times, they cannot do enough for their residents. There have been covid safe performances and activities from gardening to cooking and crafting. My aunt joins in them all! I would highly recommend Wellington Vale to look after your relative.

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

Thank you for this outstanding review! Wellington Vale has adapted in many ways over the last months to ensure our residents continuously feel safe, secure and part of a big family during this difficult period. Your feedback is very important to us and to know that you have had confidence in all of the team here makes us feel very proud. As you say, your Aunt joins in with all the daily activities and has also taught me to ballroom dance - I love it! I have loved joining in on your video calls too.

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.

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:


I live locally with my husband Tim, my son Luca, stepchildren Harry and Lucy along with my brother-in-law Matt and 15-month-old grandson Caspian. Our beautiful 4-year-old collie called Sox completes our crazy but happy family life!

My amazing team and I enjoy creating seasonal and themed menus on special days of the year which our residents love! It is important to me that every resident looks forward to mealtimes and their meals are packed with nutrition and include any special dietary requirements.


My Experience:

About Me:
I have a great passion for cooking and love to bring a restaurant standard to Wellington Vale. I am really looking forward to implementing my ideas and creativity in the future.

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.

My dedication and hard work as a general housekeeper were quickly noticed and I was promoted to head housekeeper within a few months. I have enjoyed watching the team grow and now have a wonderful team of seven working alongside me.


About Me:
I am a very sociable person and love to walk in my spare time. I also enjoy supporting my granddaughter with her doggie day care business.

Job Title: Administrator

Joined: 2018

What I Do:


As the Home Administrator, I support residents and families with all things finance during their time at Wellington Vale. I also manage the friendly reception team and support the home with payroll, budgets, suppliers and rota management. I work closely with Sandy, our general manager to ensure all financial aspects of the home are managed effectively.


My Experience:


I started at Wellington Vale in 2018 as a part-time care assistant, then a few years later moved into the role of receptionist. My knowledge and experience of how the home operates soon grew, and in 2021 I accepted the opportunity of progressing to home administrator whilst completing my level 3 in business administration. Previously to Wellington Vale, I worked as a supervisor in retail and also became a fully qualified hairdresser.


About Me:
I live locally with my son Oliver who is 10. We enjoy spending time together as much as we can and we love travelling over to the family holiday home in Spain.
