Very impressed with the care and attention my dad receives despite the apparent understaffing at times and the pressure they are regularly under to ensure all residents are properly cared for.

The receptionist has a delightful manner. A pleasure to deal with.


Food is OK and carers are very nice. Mum's only reservation is the night staff. Sometimes the agency staff comes across as a bit disinterested.

Reply from Louise Mayall, Customer Services Manager at Pemberley House Care Home - Avery Healthcare

Thank you for your comments, Marina. I know your mother, has enjoyed the food more since our new chef started last October and he has provided a more varied and interesting menu for the residents. With regard to agency staff, we use one trusted agency to help cover when our own staff are taking annual leave or unexpected illness. The agency do try and send us the same carers who know and understand our expected levels of care.

I am really happy with the standard of care my mother has received since arriving at Pemberley House. The staff encourage her to engage with the other residents but she is allowed to make free choices at all times. She always looks well and clean and I am kept informed. The food standards and choices
are good and her room and clothes are clean at all times.
Many thanks to all.

I have been very pleased with the whole experience from the start to the current situation.
My mother needed care locally and Pemberley House stood out from our first visit. The staff were very helpful and took time to show us around.
As well, they were very efficient and were very understanding in
arranging for my mother to move in at short notice.
My mother likes the staff and they are very caring and understanding and the environment is very good.
The food is nice and there's a good variety of menus.
The rooms are nice and there is flexibility so you can have your own space and you can join others in the communal area for meals.
As well, if there is an incident they are very professional and keep you informed of what has happened, i.e. a fall and what they are doing about it
So this gives you peace of mind that your loved one is safe and that is key.
The flexibility in visiting times is good because it means we plan ahead with no restrictions.
So I would recommend Pemberley House to everyone.

My father has been resident at Pemberley for 18 months, during which time we have experienced some very challenging times with his behaviour resulting from his Alzheimer's. The staff have sometimes struggled with this aspect of his care but have communicated with us and together we have found ways to
resolve the problems. Dad has only ever been treated with compassion and dignity, from all staff including hospitality, administration and care staff. He loves his home and has a wonderful relationship with staff. He is happy and content and importantly, he is safe and well cared for. Thank you, Pemberley.

My mother was treated with care and dignity during her sad decline due to dementia.
Staff showed genuine interest and affection.
Communication was overall good and I was kept informed even if a mistake was made.
The support and care shown to myself as a relative was also excellent and Mum's final

Although sadly my father only had 1 week in Pemberley House before he died I can only give the highest praise to all of the staff that we came in contact with.
Everyone went the extra mile to help us. The home itself and my father's room were very comfortable and welcoming and nothing was too much
trouble to ensure his comfort and wellbeing.

My husband needs 24hour nursing care following a stroke he suffered. I have found staff to be dedicated, conscientious and caring, across all departments.
His needs are addressed in a timely and caring way. If I have any concerns, staff respond helpfully and do their best to ensure both my husband's
health and social needs are taken seriously.

Since Avery Healthcare have taken over the running of Pemberley House and a permanent manager was appointed, the standard of care my mum has received has improved dramatically.
Mum has been at Pemberley House since January 2014 so we have seen a great deal of change. The permanent staff are marvellous
and appear much happier and better trained now. I would still like fewer agency staff, particularly at night. They do not care in the same way.

My father has been in Pemberley for nearly 4 years. The standard has improved to a very high standard in every area. The staff are very caring and some even go well above the required standard. They have shown tremendous care and support towards my dad and us recently after the sudden death of my sister.
Everywhere is very clean and welcoming. The new addition of daily cake in the coffee area is a brilliant idea, especially when residents meet friends and relatives for coffee.

This is a wonderful care home providing good care for my mother. She has been here 3 years now and aged 96, is much healthier and happier than she has been for a long time. The staff are excellent, know all the residents and what they like and are caring both for the residents and their relatives. I

We were very apprehensive as to how the move from another care home would affect mum. We need not have been concerned as, because of the excellent care and attention she has received, she has quickly settled and accepted her new home. She is relaxed and much happier than she has been in a long time.
She loves joining in with all the activities and is pleased to have made new friends. We now feel that mum's needs are being met and her quality of life has improved. It has been great to share so many laughs with mum since she has moved to Pemberley.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.866)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.866) out of 10 for Pemberley House Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.866 for Pemberley House Care Home - Avery Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (207 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 238 Ratings = 4.866

  • b) 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 Pemberley House Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 72 registered maximum number of service users is 14.4, which has been reached with 20 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
