My sister has been so happy since moving to Candlewood House Care Home, she was at another home and was not given the care she needed, she has cancer and needed a lot of support.
At Candlewood Care Home she has been given so much respect, understanding, and care. All the staff are so nice and supporting
and always go beyond to help her.

My Mum came here for respite care following a fall and broken neck. She has been well cared for, and the staff are professional, kind, skillful, thoughtful, responsive and always have time to talk. The home feels like a happy and caring environment where people are genuinely invested in providing top-quality

This is a very high-quality care home. The facilities are modern and luxurious and very clean. The staff treated my Mum with kindness, patience, and respect at all times and this care ethos was extended to each of our family without hesitation. The high level of care extended to the end with her last
hours spent in such a caring, calm environment.
Reply from Jan Guerin, Home Manager at Candlewood HouseThank you for your kind words and positive feedback. It was our pleasure to have cared for your loved one and to get to know the family. Our thoughts are with you all and we wish you all the best for the future.

Mum seems to be happy living in Candlewood House. She is enjoying the company of the staff and how everything is so clean and tidy. I also feel this knowing Mum is in the best place possible, where she will be safe and fulfilled in her last years. Standards are high at The Candlewood and it reflects
in the prices. This is my only worry for the future. At present, I am very happy with the service that has been provided and the caring staff who look after Mum.

Our brother was in Candlewood House for the last few months and received the most wonderful care. The surroundings are exceptional for a care home, but the most important thing was the compassion and kindness he received from all the staff. They went out of their way to ensure he was as comfortable
as possible, and he told us many times how much he appreciated their kind attention. Thank you for looking after him so well, and for your sympathy and kindness towards the family.

The food and the staff in the dining area are outstanding at Candlewood Care Home. The care manager is exceptional at creating an inclusive atmosphere. Residents enjoying lunch together is heartwarming. My dad is enjoying his food, he sits with his friends at the dining table for a delicious three-course
meal, everyday now, cooked to perfection by the chef at the home who often comes out of the kitchen to ensure all the residents are enjoying the food and service. Only six months ago not many residents, including my Dad, would enjoy lunch together in the dining room but since the new manger was appointed the dining experience for the residents has improved immensely. Thank you so much to the manager for helping to bring Candlewood Care Home back to life.

My wife has been a resident in Candlewood House since February 2022.
Her health, care and safety have always been paramount.
However, the latest home manager and her assistant have raised the home to another level.
Had it not been for her medical knowledge we would have "lost" my wife before Christmas.
In
addition, the home is much more vibrant with a good friendly atmosphere.

Exceptional care home with exceptional staff who actually listen to all of your needs. Upon arrival parking is simple and from the front door, you are greeted with warmth and kindness whilst maintaining a high level of professionalism. The care home manager has incredibly high standards and works hard
to maintain these whilst offering a home-from-home environment. A variety of activities including exercise, yoga and physiotherapy is offered at this care home and a bespoke care package is devised for each resident. If you are looking for a warm, safe, kind caring 'home from home' for yourself or your loved one, this is the place to go.

My recent experience with Candlewood House was exceptional. From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism from the management. The facility itself is impeccably maintained with a comfortable and homely atmosphere. For me, what truly sets Candlewood House apart
is the compassionate and highly trained staff. That always goes above and beyond providing personalised care. They always take their time to understand the unique needs of each resident, creating a safe environment and sense of belonging. I wholeheartedly recommend Candlewood House to anyone seeking a nurturing and high-quality care environment for their loved ones.

I cried when my sister and I were shown around Candlewood House care home. It sets the standard, it's like a hotel, the decor, rooms, bathrooms etc and how clean. Never thought care homes like this existed. The manager is an asset who truly cares about all the residents as does her team. It's beautiful
to witness, I know it's their job but it's more than that, it's a sense of being family. The care team and TLC team are amazing. Activities that take place have been brilliant, they are kind, helpful and they also check on us to to. This care home is everything in our mum's time of need and support. Thank you.

If there was anything good that could have happened in the horrible situation that my brother found himself in, it was being sent to this nursing home for treatment. I have only words of praise for the staff and especially the manager, who is leading it absolutely gorgeously. Thank you for providing
my brother with the opportunity to spend his last days as a dignified person.

My husband went into Candlewood with terminal stage 4 cancer. The nurses were wonderful and really cared for him. Unfortunately, the care home manager undid all the great work the nurses did. My husband didn't want anyone seeing how ill and frail he looked and it was just myself and my son and his partner
visiting him. A few days before he died, I walked into his bedroom and found the manager wearing a Santa's hat and an assistant with a camera, the manager was trying to give my husband a Christmas present whilst taking photo's. My husband was waving his hands saying, No photos, No photos. A few days before my husband died, my son and his husband stayed with him for 3 whole days. The night he died my son didn't want to leave him and two nurses offered my son and his husband the use of the lounge to be close by. When the manager found out they were using the lounge he told my son, he couldn't use the lounge. My son booked a local hotel and my husband died all alone. Not LGBTQ+ friendly.
Reply from Anoop Kuriakose, Operations Director at TLC Care at Candlewood HouseThank you for your review. We extend our sincere condolences following the passing of your husband.

I live in North America and was desperately looking for a suitable care home for my father who lived in London. When I came across Candlewood House on the internet, checked its website and ratings and had a virtual tour with the business development manager, I thought that was too good to be true and
I was sceptical. However, the moment I walked into the care home, interacted with staff and saw everything with my own eyes, I was convinced that I had found the perfect place for my father and moved him immediately. This care home provides amazing and customised care to all its residents! Thank you.
Reply from Marianne Jack-Lamont, Business Development Manager at Candlewood HouseThank you so very much for your lovely review. We are so thankful you chose our beautiful home. We absolutely love having your father here with us. We very much look forward to seeing you again when you are next in the UK but in the meantime, we will continue to voice note and video call you with updates.

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.
