Review from Stacey B (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 24 February 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My nana's admission to Seagrave was very last minute due to the nature of her health. The staff have been nothing short of amazing. The manager was so accommodating and helpful, putting my grandad's mind at ease. She is incredible at what she does. On move-in day, the way she dealt with my nana was
so respectful and kind, it made a very hard decision easy. The improvement that my nana has made since moving in is incredible, and I am so incredibly grateful. One lady has been incredible with getting my nana to come out of her shell and keeping us updated. Three other ladies have been so helpful and kind when we have had questions, nothing is too much to ask. This is the best decision we have made as a family. I look forward to the home opening up fully so that we can get to know all of the lovely staff even more. Thank you, Seagrave.
Reply from Stacey Hetherington, Deputy Manager at Seagrave House Care Home - Avery Healthcare

We take great pride in the admission process, and I’m glad your experience as a family was accommodating, not just for your grandmother but your grandfather too, who we have all grown very fond of. I will be sure to feedback your positive comments to the care team, and it will be appreciated. We also look forward to welcoming you all into our home to enjoy your grandmother's new home with her. Best Wishes.

As an essential caregiver, I have been able to visit my mother whenever I choose. It is obvious my mother is both loved and cared for by Seagrave staff; they keep me fully informed about her actions and problems.
Mum seems very content, and I am glad I chose Seagrave for her.

Although I have rated everything excellent, I am aware there has been a few problems at the care home, ie short of staff and all staff being immunised against Covid-19. But in saying that, I have always had an excellent impression whenever I have visited and have always praised the home when talking
to anyone. The most important thing for me is my sister is very happy there. Keep up the good work!

Review from Lynn W (Daughter of Resident) published on 31 March 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It is difficult to give a fair review at present as Covid restrictions mean that I have been able to visit Mum only once within her own room. As far as I can tell, Seagrave House is warm and comfortable, with all the home from home comforts I would hope for. Mum has dementia and is unable to express
herself as before, but she appears to be as content as possible in her condition. I sense that she enjoys the company of staff and fellow residents alike. When trying to ring Mum, I find it frustrating that the staff are frequently unable to connect me, as Mum's room is too far away for a decent phone connection. There are often other connection issues too. Again, this perhaps would not be such a problem in 'normal' times. The staff members I have spoken to, and those I've met, are always most friendly, and very gentle and caring with Mum. All in all, I feel happy with her care, and where I have marked 'satisfactory', I am unable to be more specific because of present restrictions.

I can only apologise regarding the connection issues with our telephone system at Seagrave House, we are currently in the process of changing our phone system to a Wi-Fi connection with new telephones, including handheld phones. This should be up and running within the next week or two and should improve the coverage throughout the home. Our well-being team are always happy to support relatives with FaceTime calls as well, and these have proved very popular.
Along with our visiting pod, we now have two internal rooms allocated for family visits, please do not hesitate to contact reception to arrange a visit; we will be opening garden visits during the warm weather too. Best wishes.

My mum has been in Seagrave House for only six weeks, and because of Covid guidelines, I am not allowed into all areas of the home. However, I have visited several times to the garden pod. I have also visited Mum inside the visitor's room, and I have been pleased each time. Mum is chatty and content.
She says the food is good. The staff I have met have been lovely, friendly and professional.

My mother is a resident at Seagrave House and is very happy there. The staff are wonderful, the food is excellent, and the care the residents receive is second to none. I have always been kept informed of Mum's health. I really cannot praise the staff too highly. A wonderful, clean environment. Mum
has been there for four years now, and we have never needed to complain. A wonderful place!

Since my mother has been a resident of Seagrave House, her quality of life has improved significantly. My mother tells me that every day she enjoys her life at the home, and this is primarily down to the staff and management in the home. She sees the staff as her family, her circle of friends increased.
From my perspective, I have peace of mind knowing she is in a safe environment. If she has an accident, there is always someone there to help. I would like to pay a special mento to one gentleman who goes above and beyond.

My Mother has been living in Seagrave House since December 2019. Since this time all the staff have proved themselves to be extremely kind and caring in providing for her needs to help encourage her to feel special and cared for during this challenging time of her life. Her room and surroundings are
kept clean, welcoming and comfortable and all of this gives her a standard of living that the family are unable to match at home. I am extremely grateful to the whole team for the levels of care and attention to detail they provide in giving our family peace of mind in knowing that my Mother is well cared for and safe. Thank you.

My dad went into your care home in March 2020 and ever since he has been there he has truly been looked after. The home is very comfortable with dedicated staff looking after his every need. he is extremely happy and can live his life as he wishes. The COVID-19 hit us all, unfortunately we weren't allowed
to visit and all I need to do was to ring the home (my dad's speech isn't very good) and they update me. Unfortunately, my dad fell ill, the home handled everything the way I would have done myself. They are extremely efficient and compassionate and my dad is back to normal.


To sum up, we couldn't have found a better home to end up in. I just look forward to seeing him when I can. Well done to all of the staff, you are all having a trying time, but your professionalism shines through.

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.
