Review from S Y (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 October 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
On the whole, the care home is satisfactory. However, there is a very poor system of communication between staff on all levels. Small requests in the care plan are ignored, especially if the resident is unable to communicate these problems. Hearing aids not cleaned, earrings not inserted, makeup out
of reach. After lunch wearing dirty clothes. Full-length clothes protection not provided, even a plastic apron would help. This has been mentioned on at east 4 occasions and nothing has been done about it. Disappointed.

Review from Lynette B (Niece of Resident) published on 30 May 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My aunt has been in Gracewell for nine months now and she is very happy and content. She has quality of life which is what it is all about. The staff are always smiling and they are very good with all the residents. The food is lovely and the activities are varied and optional. The problems which there
have only been a few are addressed immediately. When we visit she is smiling and happy and when we bring her back to Gracewell after an outing she says she is going home now. For her to call Gracewell her home now, and be so happy there, is all I could ever have hoped for.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.751)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.751) out of 10 for Anning House 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.801 for Anning House is calculated as follows: ( (187 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 221 Ratings = 4.801
  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 4.95 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Anning House is based on 18 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 = 3.95
    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 18 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.

Heidi Williams

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2023

I hold my Level 5 qualification in Leadership and Management, a diploma in adult nursing, and mentoring qualifications.


I decided to join Anning House because I wanted to be part of a well-respected, larger company that was part of the wider community where I live.


As a Home Manager, it’s important that I have empathy and am able to listen and lead by example. I always want to be a good role model and empower my team and others, treating everyone with respect. I went into nursing to make a difference; this can be a big impact or just the little things that make a difference in someone’s life. I’m still incredibly proud and happy to be able to continue to do this in my career every day.


Although I have a busy role at work, I like to keep busy outside of work too - I love supporting my husband when he’s playing in his band, going to nice restaurants to eat, entertaining family and friends at home, and going to the theatre, especially to see musicals.
