Review from Ian S (Husband of Resident) published on 28 August 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife has been a resident at Scissett Mount care home since March. She suffers from dementia and has other medical issues and conditions. This home is very well designed and is newly built with every facility required for comfort and care. From my experience I can say that all the staff, without exception,
are very understanding of my wife's condition and needs and are providing for her the very best professional 24-hour care. Due to the hard work of all the staff Scissett Mount has, I understand, remained COVID free. In all the attached categories I can confidently mark them as "excellent" and can happily recommend this care home.
Reply from Alex Jagger, Registered Manager at Scissett Mount

Mum sadly died on 29th April (not COVID) at Scissett Mount. Although I could not visit her due to the COVID-19 restrictions I was incredibly well supported by the manager and her staff. Their care, compassion and attention to professional and personal details were second to none and this was and has
been a huge comfort to both myself and family.
Mum took up residency at Scissett Mount in September 2019 and has been well looked after. Mum suffered from dementia and was in danger of losing her dignity had she stayed at home. The staff at Scissett Mount restored her pride, her dignity, and her well-being by providing a safe, secure, and grown up environment for her where she was welcomed and valued. I could not have asked for more and can not praise highly enough the manager and her dedicated team. I would wholeheartedly recommend this care home to anyone.

I can't thank the manager and staff at Scissett Mount enough. The care they provided for my brother during a difficult time was exemplary and above all expectations. The rooms are spacious and clean with the shared areas comfortable and pleasant.

We can't thank the manager and her staff enough for the excellent care they give to the residents at Scissett Mount and the support for us too. They are professional, friendly and caring at all times. The home itself is second to none. It is well run, warm, bright, spacious and clean with a friendly
family environment, beautiful surroundings and excellent facilities.
Having to put a loved one into care is such a difficult decision, but the manager and her staff guided us through it all speedily, with care and compassion when it became apparent that our loved one needed help quickly as they were unable to be independent and safe at home.


Thank you all very for your continued help and support it is much appreciated

Review from D A (Niece of Resident) published on 1 October 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Scissett Mount has to be the best care home I have ever seen. It’s a really hard decision moving a close family member into care but the staff and the manager here are second to none. The level of care, staff commitment and family support exceeds anywhere else. The manager offered me and the family
huge support and guidance and their communication is exceptional. My auntie received a very high level of care. The food is of a high standard with a great variety, healthy options and she’s even gained weight after a poor diet. I have no hesitation in recommending Scissett Mount and will certainly use in the future should any of my other family members require care. My thanks go to all staff members and the manager for giving the best care to my auntie.

I can't thank the staff enough for the care given to my mother. All staff are aware of her difficulties and respond with patience and compassion. Any medical needs are given immediate attention and I am kept up to date with any changes. The manager is extremely helpful and has always been available
either in person or by phone to discuss my mother's needs.

My mum was one of the first residents at Scissett Mount.
She has settled in really well, the home is very welcoming, the staff are extremely caring and dedicated.
All the facilities are excellent, mealtime is a real treat with an on-site chef who cooks beautiful fresh meals.
We could not have wished
for anything better.

Making the decision to place a loved one into residential care has got to be one of the most difficult ones. The management and staff not only look after mum beautifully they have supported my family and especially my dad throughout.
It honestly feels like an extended family now.
The residents and
staff have a lovely relationship and it’s reassuring to know that not only is mum being looked after by professionals she’s also having a lovely time with friends too!

Scissett Mount took care of my mum while we went away for a holiday. Before mum became a respite resident, we were invited to take her down to meet all the staff and to have a tour of the care home. She was also invited for a coffee morning and to have her lunch there, therefore, it was an easy and
friendly transition.
The staff are brilliant and the manager couldn't do enough to help and the room are spacious and spotless! Mum was well and happy when we picked her up. We would fully recommend this care home.

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.
