I had the absolute pleasure of attending the food festival yesterday. It was fantastic to see all the residents enjoying themselves and being so well looked after. Everyone was working as a team to provide a spectacular afternoon and the entertainment was perfect. We also attend the dementia choir which
is a huge success. Thank you so much.
Reply from Jacqueline Brown, Customer Relations Manager at Montague House Care HomeThank you so much for your review. We are so glad you enjoyed the festival and look forward to welcoming you to more of our events in the future!

Once in a while you come across a team of people who excel in everything they do. The team at Montague House are one such team. From the Home Manager, to the Clinical Manager, Relationship Manager, Nursing Manager and Night Manager, to the nursing staff and care staff, reception staff and business administration
staff, not forgetting the chef, every single one of you worked with the utmost levels of professionalism, care and compassion in caring for our Dad, and for this we are extremely grateful. We cannot fault any aspect of our whole experience with Montague House and would wholly recommend Montague House to anyone looking to choose a residential or nursing home for a loved one. Believe me, this place is special, and should be on anyone's shortlist.

Having gotten to know my father since he moved into the care home in August 2023, staff manage him in a sympathetic and appropriate manner to deliver the level of care and support required. This can sometimes be challenging as he can be difficult and this changes from day to day, keeping the staff on
'their toes'. It is a credit to the staff who manage him, always keeping his best interests uppermost in delivering his care.
Reply from Julie Prevett, Home Manager at Montague House Care HomeMany thanks for your kind words. The staff work very hard to provide over and above care for our residents. I will pass your comments on to all the staff. We rise to all challenges presented to us and take pride in receiving such positive feedback.

We have had nothing but a positive experience of the wonderful Montague House Care Home. Myself and my husband regularly visited our friend before he sadly passed away for a cup of tea and a slice of delicious cake that was always on offer for residents and their visitors. Montagu House is immaculately
clean, the facilities are incredible, the communal areas impressive, and the meals served to our friend were first class. The staff were always so welcoming and our friend always talked about how they went out of their way to make sure he was comfortable. He was very happy there and often said he felt like he was on holiday as he was cared for so well by the amazing staff. I have had experience of other care homes over the years and I would not hesitate to recommend Montague House as first-rate!
Reply from Julie Prevett, Home Manager at Montague House Care HomeMany thanks, J for this delightful review. We strive to make our visitors feel relaxed and welcome in the home as well as delivering the best-tailored care possible to our residents.

My mother was at Montague House when she passed away.
Everyone, including all the staff were cheerful and introduced themselves, it was a very friendly environment. My mum also felt well cared for and safe. My first communication was with the Regional Community Relations Lead who was very helpful and
caring. She gave me the confidence so that I felt safe to leave my mum at Montague House.
Reply from Julie Prevett, Home Manager at Montague House Care HomeMy sincere condolences once again for your sad loss Las. Thank you so much for taking the time to review the Home during this very difficult time for you and your family.

Review from Louise C (Stepdaughter of Resident) published on 22 March 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
The daughter of my stepfather booked him into Montague House Brampton for respite care, despite it being 180 miles away from his oncologist, meaning he was unable to attend crucial appointments. Whilst there, he contracted a severe infection and had to be hospitalised. On his discharge, he managed to
book a private ambulance back home, but was in such a terrible state he died several days later. We found the management severely lacking in communication skills and any sort of empathy for my Mum who was distraught at having her husband of 25 years moved so far away from her. Please read the Care Quality Commission’s report which clearly states it requires improvement in safety and with how it is led.
My advice would be that if you like gorging yourself on free cake it’s perfect, if you care about your loved one please, please do not send them here.
Reply from Julie Prevett, Home Manager at Montague House Care HomeThank you for your review. It was a pleasure to have your stepfather join us at Montague House, but I appreciate the decision for him to stay here wasn't your preference due to the travelling distance. I'm sure you understand though that we must respect the wishes of his daughter who wanted him near to her and her siblings so they could regularly visit their father. Our team are committed to delivering exceptional care, and we were delighted to receive positive feedback from his daughter during and after his stay about their many visits and how they found our team loving, kind and supportive. I don't feel it would be appropriate to address comments relating to internal family dynamics but feel it important to confirm that your stepfather safely returned to our home from the hospital as planned and arranged by his daughter. We of course cannot discuss private medical information publicly. I wish I'd had the opportunity to meet you, should you wish to discuss though do get in touch.

Montague House always feels warm and friendly. My mum particularly enjoys the varied activities and having coffee and cake in the Bistro area. She has been in Montague House for over six months now and her needs are well catered for by caring and friendly staff. It is reassuring for me to know that
my mum is well entertained and kept occupied by a regular weekly programme. Overall we are very satisfied with Montague House and would recommend it.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father came to stay at Montague House for respite care, initially for one month but stayed for two.
Besides having him near to myself and my siblings and his grandchildren, it was an absolute pleasure to visit him at Montague House where the team are loving, kind and supportive.
Dad sadly became
very ill whilst at Montague House and was admitted to hospital but he did return briefly before going home to the north. We are grateful for the last few days and all the extra care he needed.
Dad could not have been better looked after at Montague House where the management took on board some difficult family tensions and supported us all in what was an emotionally difficult time.
I will miss Montague House very much - I spent many hours there not just with Dad but also getting to know other residents and their families.
There is always a friendly welcome, a lovely coffee and even a piece of cake waiting for anyone who steps through the door.
Reply from Julie Prevett, Home Manager at Montague House Care HomeMany thanks, Ruthie for taking the time to write such a delightful accolade. I will share your comments with the homemakers who were involved in Dad's care. He was an absolute gentleman to be with. We feel privileged to have had the opportunity to support him and you as a family.
My sincere thanks once again.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When choosing a care home for my father-in-law, location was very important to us, as we would most likely be his only visitors. We were very impressed b the building, layout ad quality of furnishings and decor. At our initial meeting with family liaison, we were very reassured but the philosophy of
the company, in particular, the homemaker ideal. All questions and concerns were dealt with with understanding, compassion and a reassuring level of knowledge and professionalism. We received a warm welcome from every member of staff on subsequent visits and, when we discovered the cost was exactly the same as other local homes, without full-time nursing care, our decision was made.
Since my father-in-law arrived in early January, we have been delighted with the cate he has received. Every issue we have raised has been taken seriously and action taken to enhance his experience. He has settled incredibly well and e feel that this is due entirely to the friendliness and kindness of the staff.
Reply from Jacqueline Brown, Regional Community Relations Lead at Montague House Care HomeThank you for writing a lovely review of our home. I am so glad you and your family have had a warm welcome into Montague House. Your father-in-law is a valued member of our Montague family and I could not imagine our home without him!

Lovely, new care home. Still with growing pains with reference to staff (recruitment, ongoing training etc.) but making good progress. Key management and staff are excellent. Particularly strong on communication and engagement with relatives of residents. Quality of food is also above average as is
the nursing care. Made to feel part of the family.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been very impressed by the care and understanding provided by the staff at Montague. My relative started at Montague for respite care after a sudden deterioration in her health, which required nursing intervention. Her health improved during respite, but she has decided that she would prefer
to remain at Montague as a resident instead of returning home: the staff are extremely caring and thoughtful, the food is great, the en-suite facilities are very handy, and there are friends to be made over meals and at events. My relative has expressed the opinion that this scenario is a much better option than trying to struggle on alone in her own home. The staff have shown me that they are very aware of how to guide her through the emotional and psychological changes that are involved in such a decision, and I think that it is a great choice for her to make.
Reply from Jacqueline Brown, Regional Community Relations Lead at Montague House Care HomeThank you for taking the time to write us such a lovely review. We are so glad that your relative has decided to stay with us on a permanent basis! I will pass your lovely feedback on to the team.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Faultless in every way. My mother was suddenly taken very unwell at the beginning of March and needed urgent respite care. From the first phone call with their regional community relations lead, I was made to feel totally at ease. During Mum's stay, nothing has been too much trouble for any of the staff,
whether caring for her, the receptionist, the manager - just amazing.
Mum is returning home on Friday, but personally I feel Montague House is where she should be. But, due to her own independence and being of sound mind, she needs to return home to understand her own needs now.
Thank you each and every one of you for everything you have done to get Mum back onto her feet and in such a happy, five-star environment. I could never ask for anything better from a first-class team.
Reply from Jacqueline Brown, Regional Community Relations Lead at Montague House Care HomeThank you so much for this wonderful review! I have passed on this lovely feedback to the team.

This is a fantastic home! We worked hard to keep Mum at home and had to get her into a care home when her health got too much to manage at home. She's thriving. We never thought she'd walk again after her hospital stay or be able to say a few words and now she does both. It's in small bursts, but it's
there. It doesn't matter what time we visit, she's clean, well-dressed and comfortable. Thank you for all you are doing!

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.767) out of 10 for Montague House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.767 for Montague House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (286 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 343 Ratings = 4.767
  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 Montague House Care Home is based on 28 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14, which has been reached with 28 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.
