Review from Jennifer B (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 July 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I needed a care home for my father, who was starting to suffer from dementia, when I found the website for Walberton Place. From this point on, I cannot express my thanks enough to the entire Walberton Place Team. My father loved the home when we first went around it, and my mother (with no additional
care needs) decided that she also wanted to move in. They were both hugely happy there, I simply couldn’t have found a more loving home for them. The non-stop care, attention and compassion given to my father in his final days was outstanding. The support given to my mother by the home at this time was equally impressive, bearing in mind that this happened when the family was unable to visit. The home has remained COVID-19 free and this is, I am sure, due to the meticulous attention to every tiny detail of healthcare which the nursing staff give to residents. If you are looking for a caring, loving home for anyone on your family, look no further than Walberton Place!

When visiting my friend I was touched by the concern shown to me my a member of staff. The care given extends beyond that given to residents to a consideration of the well-being of those who love them. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Walberton Place has to be one of the best care homes around. I chose to stay there to prepare for, and recover from, a very important surgical procedure. I was so glad I did because I needed help to look after myself and Walberton did all the looking after that I needed. All the staff were my friends
and were so helpful when needed. I wouldn't have been in the position I'm in now were it not for my stay there. I consider my life has been enriched by both staff, and indeed, fellow residents.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Amazing care home. The home itself is beautiful and well thought out for all residents' needs. The care staff are lovely and have a lot of time for the residents/relatives and friends. They are always doing activities with the residents and family and visitors can join in as well. The food is lovely
and if my Grandad wants something else to eat, then they are more than happy to accommodate. From the first phone call to the home to moving my Grandad, it was done with care and communication without any problems. All staff have met my Grandad's needs and it’s so nice to see him so happy and settled.
Keep up the amazing work, you're all doing a fantastic job. Thank you to you all.

First impressions are very positive. The home is new and has been furnished and equipped to a high standard.
Visitors are made very welcome and the service user has made very encouraging remarks about all aspects of her care.
Members of staff spoken to all seem very professional and interact well
with the residents.
Difficult to comment on certain aspects as the home is just filling up and only one visit made.

It is always a pleasure visiting my uncle at Walberton Place. He always looks well cared for. The home is beautifully maintained. The staff are kind and considerate. More importantly, my uncle has been encouraged to engage with a wide range of activities which has given him a new lease of life.
I couldn't
recommend Walberton Place more highly.

My mother has just moved into this care home and was always going to be extremely difficult as she has dementia. The home has dealt with her brilliantly. The home is brand new, very plush and clean. The care seems to be excellent with my very difficult mother.

My Uncle has been at Walberton Place for a couple of months now and I can see a marked improvement. He is losing weight (which he needs to do). His personal grooming is first-rate and he is joining in with the activities. The staff are amazing, treating each and every resident with the care and attention
they deserve.

A beautiful home in a beautiful setting.
Wonderful, lovely, warm, caring staff who were so kind and gentle looking after mum.
They encourage her to be involved and participate, which is not something she would normally do.
Facilities are excellent, very clean and lovely food.

I cannot praise enough the work done at Walberton Place to ensure my Grandma has been so happy.
She loves the food and the company, went on a trip to the seaside which she talked about for days after.

My father moved into Walberton Place in early June due to a deterioration in his mental health. This was very traumatic for him and his family as he was very happy in his previous home. The transition could not have been easier due to the care and attention from staff. He is now extremely settled and
happy and living life to the full with all the outings and activities. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.698)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.698) out of 10 for Walberton Place Care 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.698 for Walberton Place Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (217 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (19 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 281 Ratings = 4.698
  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 Walberton Place Care Home is based on 22 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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16, which has been reached with 22 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.
