Review from D S (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 May 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have recently moved my Mum to Arbour Walk from another care home. I was extremely worried about the transition, however, meetings with the manager prior to her move were so reassuring and informative that I realised I had no need to worry. Mum also had a visit before her move and was shown around
by the manager. There were lots of laughs and she was also given an Easter egg!
The staff have been amazing, warm, friendly, attentive and approachable. They have worked so hard settling her in and through times of distress (due to her illness) they have been brilliant in supporting her. It is clear they are trained to a high level and manage very well.
The communication with myself so far has also been excellent, finding out as much as possible about my mum to ensure they can support her in the best way possible.
The home itself is spotlessly clean and the decor and interior are designed to a very high standard and are reflective of the care provided.
Highly recommend this home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife went into Arbour Walk on Thursday 12th October 2022. She soon got on with the staff, to her they were her friends and nothing is too much for them to do. There is so much for residents to do there, sensory room, theatre, cinema, lounges, restaurant, etc. It is a very clean home and is very well
looked after by the maintenance crew. There are cleaners looking after the building all day long. If you want a friendly nursing home this is the one for you and the manager visits the residents every day which is great. Nearly forgot to mention my wife is 94 years of age. A five-star home worth a visit.

I just want to say a big thank you to all the staff who looked after my mum for the last three months she was resident at Arbour Walk. She was treated with such dignity at all times and the staff and management were brilliant, looking after her and her needs. I couldn't recommend this home enough for
elderly care.

Review from L S (Wife of Resident) published on 18 March 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Whilst my husband appears to be getting good care, the standard of communication is less than satisfactory. This is very frustrating for relatives. We phone regularly but with the utmost respect, it has to be said that it is frequently very difficult to follow the conversation. In addition to this,
relatives have travelled a great distance to see a loved one to discover that they were not allowed access even though the visit had been pre-arranged with the office staff! I think the nursing care and attention to the residents is very good and deserves more than three stars which I have given in the category rating, but communication with relatives needs to be improved on all levels. In addition, the telephone manner of the office staff leaves a lot to be desired.

On my visits I find the nursing home very welcoming and the staff are always pleasant and patient, my partner very well cared for. A great improvement to his quality of life and his general well being. He always looks clean and smart.
It has a very nice room and a high standard of cleanliness. He
is very content with the staff and the level of care he receives.

The care my mother has received is excellent. My mother caught COVID and I'm sure if it was not for the staff, she would not have pulled through. I'm always informed of any changes in medication, well being, etc.

Arbour Walk staff have kept my mum safe and well during this awful pandemic. Her room and her hygiene is first class. The staff on her floor (Latimer) have been amazing and look after her with care and dignity. I have no complaints or concerns about her welfare and would like to thank them all for looking
after my precious mum so well.

All members of staff at Arbour Walk are extremely helpful and supportive to my mum and us as a family. Nothing is ever too much trouble and with Mum's needs being demanding, support is much appreciated. Mum is cared for, supported, her room is always clean and tidy and food and drinks are always available.
The medical team are always available to discuss problems and concerns and the management team always try and accommodate any needs we have as a family.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.727)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.727) out of 10 for Arbour Walk 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 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 4.727 for Arbour Walk is calculated as follows: ( (178 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 227 Ratings = 4.727
  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 Arbour Walk 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 83 registered maximum number of service users is 16.6, 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.
