Outstanding care given to my father a really nice atmosphere in the home and the staff are absolutely first class. Warrants a score well beyond 10 out of 10, exceptional in every way. I would highly recommend this care home to anyone considering a placement for a loved one.

Review from Tracy D (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our mum moved here in January 2023 after a stroke and nasty fall at home knocked her confidence. We considered a few homes and visited another but the moment we entered Seagrave and she met and spoke with a few of the staff and residents she knew this was where she wanted to be.
The first few months
were incredibly difficult due to a few health set backs including a few awful times in Kettering General Hospital when she came out a complete mess and it was the wonderful team at Seagrave that pulled her together again.
In the early days her personality changed so much that we struggled to cope and the team held our hands every step. It took a while but the staff are so patient and she eventually settled down and returned to being our lovely mum again.
There's a few activities that go on but mum's not really a joiner preferring her books, although the carpet bowls and anything musical usually draw her in.
It's absolutely the staff that make Seagrave the lovely place it is.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Overall, we are very pleased with the care Mum gets at Seagrave. We had that she is safe, warm and well fed.
It would be good if there were more activities every day, and if the staff could use every meal time to inform the residents of activities that are about to take place and where they are. Most
of the time Mum doesn't attend because she has forgotten or didn't know they were on. The new activities member of staff is better at going around the rooms to let residents know.
Reply from Stacey Hetherington, Home Manager at Seagrave House Care Home - Avery Healthcare

Thank you for your review and feedback, we are very pleased that you feel that your mother is safe and supported with the care that she requires. I will share your feedback with the team in relation to the activities in the home. Kindest regards.

My mother is very happy and enjoys the company of other residents and the friendly staff. She especially enjoys the activities and particular the carpet bowls and quizzes. Since moving to Seagrave House Care Home she has gained a new lease of life.
The standard of care us excellent and any minor concerns
are quickly addressed. It gives me comfort to know that my mother is being cared for in a safe environment.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad's time at Seagrave House Care Home was far better than any of the other care homes he'd been in over the last couple of years. He settled in quickly and the staff were all kind and understanding and treated him with dignity and respect.
The manager and staff addressed questions and issues
immediately and appropriately and changed things as Dad's needs increased. The manager is very approachable, professional, and understanding. I was able to discuss Dad's care openly and without judgment. His new family (the staff at Seagrave House) were all caring and friendly.
When Dad entered the end-of-life phase I was able to discuss my concerns with members of staff. We were given every support and understanding. In Dad's final few hours, an additional member of staff was allocated to sit with us and him. After Dad died the staff could not have been nicer or more caring.
I would recommend this care home to anyone without hesitation.

Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. It is very humbling to read your comments about the staff and interactions you had whilst your dad was at Seagrave House. Our condolences to you all are sent at a very difficult time.

Since Mam came into Seagrave House in July 2020 during Covid the staff and home could not be more accommodating during that hard time. They continue to support Mam with dignity, love and lots of care. They are Mam's family - they love her like their own.

Seagrave House have taken care of my uncle for around a year now. I have watched a very solitary, withdrawn man with little to no interests flourish into a man who socialises and joins in activities. He always looks clean and presentable which is a far cry from what he was when he joined. I see regular
photographs of my uncle on social media and he always looks like he is having fun and enjoying life. Thank you to all who are involved in the care and well-being of my uncle.

It has been really difficult to have Dad moved into residential care as he has previously been independent and determined to stay at home. Now that he has been convinced that he needs full-time care and support, we sought to find a suitable home for him within easy distance for us to visit. Since his
arrival at Seagrave House, Dad has settled really well and now fully accepts that he is 'in the best place'. His room is comfortable and we have brought in some items from home for him. The staff are all very professional, kind and willing to help whenever help is needed. We are also able to relax in the knowledge that Dad is receiving the care and support he needs.

My dad was moved to Seagrave House as part of an upgrade due to his old care home being refurbished. All I can say is within a week Dad has become a lot happier. Dad looks a different person. The staff are very helpful and very understanding of everyone in the home. Very helpful to those whose relatives
are in their care. Thank you Seagrave House.

The care home is always clean and tidy. Staff are always about, friendly and helpful. They are always trying to put the residents' well-being as their number one priority. There are a lot of activities that the residents are encouraged to take part in, to make their time and experience in the home an

My dad has been a resident in residential care at Seagrave for almost 12 months. It is a warm, caring, well-run home - with a real emphasis on helping residents to get the most out of life while looking after their individual care needs. I feel Dad is well looked after by the lovely staff, but more
than that, the effort staff make daily to make residents feel included and offer all kinds of activities just makes me feel like he still has a purpose, feels valued and is seen as an individual. I would highly recommend Seagrave.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.695)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.695) out of 10 for Seagrave House Care Home - Avery Healthcare 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.743 for Seagrave House Care Home - Avery Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (147 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 191 Ratings = 4.743
  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 4.952 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Seagrave House Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on 16 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 84 registered maximum number of service users is 16.8. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.8 = 0.952
  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.
