My uncle moved to SM six months ago. The care staff are lovely and the home clean. Food and care good and communication good if any issues arise. Reception cover good and activities and events always coordinated to support the residents. Good social activities to include family members if wanted.

Our Dad came to receive his end of life care, in January 2025, together with the help and support from Kirkwood Hospice. The compassionate care given to Dad from all the wonderful staff, made such a difference at a very difficult time. Scisset Mount is very clean and comfortable, and no matter what
time of day or night, nothing was ever too much trouble for Dad or the family. We would highly recommend them.

My father in law came here for end of life care at the end of January. Unfortunately he wasn't here long but the time spent there was made very comfortable for him. The reception staff always made us feel welcome at anytime of day or night. The carers were always very kind and caring. Just what we wanted.
The home was always very clean and they kept my father in law very comfortable for his last month with us. Thank you.

My dad came in January 2025 to receive end of life care along with help from a local hospice.
From the moment dad arrived the staff were very caring and compassionate which is what we all wanted as a family for dad. He praised the staff for all their help and in dad's words they are brilliant.
We
found the home very comfortable, nothing too much trouble and very approachable.
Would highly recommend.

I regularly visit my brother-in-law and I cannot stress the excellent care he receives at Scissett Mount. The staff are amazing. They provide stimulating activities and are keen to interact with the residents, while showing empathy, kindness and respect. Nothing is too much trouble. The atmosphere
is warm and welcoming from the reception staff, management team, housekeeping staff and carers.
The resident's rooms are attractive and offer pleasant countryside views.

Review from Bill G (Brother of Resident) published on 16 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister was transferred from hospital just before Christmas and my wife and I first visited within a week or so. We cannot speak highly enough about the entire establishment. She has progressed massively.
The nursing home cannot be faulted. It is spotlessly clean, has great general and communal facilities.
However,
the most impressive part of the overall care relates to the quality of the staff. From reception to the nursing staff, they are all so attentive and caring.
My nephews have made an excellent choice on behalf of their mum.
Reply from Tracey Wood, Registered manager at Scissett Mount

Thank you for your kind review. The safety and welfare is at the heart of our care and we take every step to ensure our residents are happy and content. We are very pleased that your sister has made good progress since moving to Scissett Mount Care Home.

My Mum is really enjoying living in your home.
She loves the trips to the theatre and the cocktail evenings.
She is now enjoying baths which she hasn't done for years.
She responds well to the calm and caring atmosphere created by all the hard-working staff.
Every member of staff is kind, caring,
thoughtful and respectful.
It is nearly a year since she arrived so depressed that she didn't get out of bed for three months.
She is now able to enjoy a different life without my Dad and I am very grateful.

Several times a week I have visited my friend. The staff always made me feel welcome and part of a family. The activities of which there are many daytimes, evenings and weekends, something I have never witnessed in any other care home. During my time I was able to observe good practice of person-centred
support each and every time something we both appreciated very much. I also saw dignity, respect and compassion shown during my friend's final days, a team to be proud of, I will never forget you.

On the first day, I visited to see if it would be the right setting for my mum I received a warm welcome. I could clearly see the home was person-centred led. I took my mum to see if she would like it, she felt quite at ease with the staff and other residents. From the my mum moved in they provided
a warm welcome, offered her a fruit bowl for her room and can clearly see this home is resident-led. All staff interactions are respectful and understanding of resident needs.

The staff are very very kind here - they looked after both my mum and dad and showed great empathy when my mum died and have gone the extra mile to make sure my dad has been okay since her death.
They are gentle and take time to build a good rapport with their residents.

The care and support my mother received during what proved to be her last month of life was exceptional. All staff were as supportive to us, her family, as they were to Mum. The thoughtful care, concern, communication and compassion were wonderful and made the experience of Mum's final weeks and days
so much better than they might have been.

Having visited my close friend many times, I have always been warmly welcomed and find the care home to be very well run, friendly and exceptionally clean. My friend has settled in well and loves her spacious room and says she is well looked after and seems very happy. The management and staff are
very friendly and approachable and are always around to answer questions and provide support. There is a great mix of regular activities and this includes events in the care home and opportunities to go out into the community. There are different outside spaces where residents can walk, sit and enjoy the fresh air. There is a lovely onsite vintage cafe where both residents and visitors can mix over a hot drink and cake.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I stayed here for respite care, having worked in care all my adult life, including some dodgy places, I was apprehensive before going. I needn’t have been. The entire staff team are lovely, encouraging and friendly.
I felt listened to and safe.
The team encouraged me to remember things in a way
I could by engaging in conversations related to my interests.
The two weeks have flown by and if I require respite again in the future I would not hesitate to contact them.
The outdoor area at the back is peaceful and calming.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.897)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.897) out of 10 for Scissett Mount is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.897 for Scissett Mount is calculated as follows: ( (201 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 223 Ratings = 4.897
  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 Scissett Mount is based on 19 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 85 registered maximum number of service users is 17, which has been reached with 19 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.
