Candlewood House is the best care home I have ever visited and I have been to quite a few with two parents living in care homes for years. I know my 94 year old mother is safe and secure, well fed, well looked after and making friends. She is better in herself today than she has been for years. Thank
you.
Reply from Nishma, Business Development Manager at Candlewood HouseThank you for taking the time to post a review and for your kind and thoughtful words. It is important for the team to know that you feel your mother is safe, happy, and thriving with us. She is a pleasure to care for !

I cannot praise Candlewood's carers highly enough. I was so happy and relieved to see my dear friend residing in a home with such caring and dedicated staff. There was a feeling of warmth and care each time I visited. On top of that, Candlewood Home is recently built, nicely furnished and sparkling
clean. I hope the company value their caring staff because they really are their best asset!

My father settled into life at Candlewood House immediately. He receives excellent, friendly care, and he has a lovely circle of friends amongst his fellow residents. The room are bright, cheerful, welcoming and homely, and the programme of entertainment offers something of interest for all. Moving
my father to Candlewood really was the best decision, and he hasn't looked back. He is safe, happy and cared for to a very high level, and it is a wonderful place to visit him.

I found my 3-week respite at Candlewood a very pleasant transition between hospital and home. It is indeed a tonic to be greeted by so many smiling and friendly faces throughout, and a warm welcome is generously displayed to all outside visitors. Thank you to all, from management to junior employees
at Candlewood House.

Life has changed dramatically for my father since moving into Candlewood House. He is surrounded by caring, cheerful staff in a safe and beautiful environment. The design of the home lends well to socialisation, and my father has made friends. There are a varied range of activities which he enjoys.
I continue to be impressed by the professional staff and the warm, caring environment.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The manager and her very capable team did right by our father and in the process made a big difference to the quality of the last phase of his life. Their care interventions and consideration certainly lengthened his time by several months - this sometimes involved late night and early morning calls
and at one point a member of staff even came in from home to hold his hand and reassure him. The team formed relationships with him that went beyond what you might expect treating our, at times, demanding father, with respect, dignity and going out of their way to accommodate his requests. He was impressed by and liked the individuals that cared for him. Being able to have his books and pictures round him helped make the room his own. How they do this with such compassion and humor day in, day out is quite something.
Reply from Nishma, Candlewood Assistant BDM at Candlewood HouseIt was truly an honor to have your dad stay at Candlewood. Our team was grateful for the opportunity to comfort and support him during his time with us-he was a truly fascinating man. It has been a genuine pleasure getting to know you and your family.

My friend has cancer of the oesophagus and after 2 stints in hospital he was too weak to go home. He was referred to Candlewood House. It was perfect, lots of room in general including his own room, very easy access, friendly and at meal times it always smelled delicious. There is always a choice of
hot and cold drinks and snacks for family and guests too. Due to how weak he was, my friend never took part in any of the available activities. The cancer spread too fast taking him from us too soon. As someone who worked in a home before, Candlewood House is the perfect place. I'd be happy to visit my own family here if it came to that.
Reply from Jeya Keerthi, Business Development Manager at Candlewood HouseThank you for your kind words and heartfelt review. We're deeply sorry for your loss and grateful that we could provide comfort during a difficult time. Our thoughts are with you.

All at the care home could not have done more for my brother at the end of his life. They all went above and beyond to make him feel at home and comfortable, and to treat him with compassion and respect. They also provided great support to me as his relative, and to his other visiting friends. I highly
recommend this care home, not only for its staff, but also for its facilities (including a cinema room, private and communal dining areas, and daily activities for residents who wish to participate in them). Residents are treated as people who matter, with honesty, and cared for in a safe, well-maintained and friendly environment.

My mother-in-law spent her final days at Candlewood House. The care and facilities were exquisite. Our family member was treated with such great care, but we as a family were also looked after beautifully.
The manager especially was so kind and thoughtful and made a very difficult time much, much easier

I highly recommend Candlewood House, as a family member and as a former nurse myself.

My father's Alzheimer's was quite advanced when he went to Candlewood House for respite care and he never really settled but this was not the fault of the staff, who made every effort to help. Carers were all kind, gentle, friendly and respectful. The food was of a high standard and the place is clean,
warm and attractively furnished and decorated. Perhaps more effort could be made to alleviate boredom in the dementia patients and to cater for individual tastes - my father will happily listen to the radio for hours, but I believe he never heard one note of classical music there, only Muzak most mealtimes.
Reply from Nishma Haria, Assistant Business Development Manager at Candlewood HouseThank you for taking the time to post a review.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.918)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.918) out of 10 for Candlewood House 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 73 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 73 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 4.918 for Candlewood House is calculated as follows: ( (791 Excellents x 5) + (47 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 849 Ratings = 4.918
  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 Candlewood House is based on 73 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 86 registered maximum number of service users is 17.2, which has been reached with 73 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.

I believe that care is more than a responsibility - it is service from the heart delivered with dignity, compassion, and genuine human connection.
