Review from Yvonne M (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 November 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our mother spent her last almost 3 years with Wraysbury House where the care was far superior to her previous care home even though she was entirely funded by her local authority. Staff were warm, and kind and liked to tease and have a laugh with Mum. Her behaviour was challenging at times but they
took it in their stride with a wry shrug, explaining what to expect as her vascular dementia advanced. It was wonderful to simply be her daughter during visits, sitting in the garden or pushing her wheelchair to the local park, and later reading, playing cards, snacking, or singing in her room. They could not have been kinder when her time came to leave us and accompanied us to scatter her ashes at sea. This care home is a lovely place with a compassionate and experienced Manager and Team, well-versed in end-of-life care, so I thoroughly recommend Wraysbury House as a clean and compassionate haven for your beloved relative.
Reply from Sue Townend, Registered manager at Wraysbury House

Thank you Yvonne for your lovely feedback. It was a pleasure to get to know your Mother and yourselves as a family. We like to care for all the family as well as your loved one. It was an honour to go out to sea with you all to scatter your mother's ashes. What an experience. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The level of care that was given to our mother during her twilight years at Wraysbury House was exceptional.
The wonderful team of carers always gave Mum lots of love and affection and coped well with the more challenging aspects of dementia with a sense of humour and always with compassion.
During
her final days manager even came out in the middle of the night to ensure that Mum was not in any pain.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Wraysbury House. Your loved one will be in good hands.

Wraysbury House is a lovely home albeit a bit outdated furniture and decor-wise. The staff are absolutely lovely and are always so friendly and warm to my mum. Her room is kept the way she likes it with all her soft toys and photos of family on the walls. The food is good old home cooking, the way Mum
likes.

Review from I D (Friend of Resident) published on 18 July 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
My friend was transferred from the hospital to this home earlier this month. I had no previous knowledge of the home but all the staff have been friendly and helpful-i.e. I opted for a change of room because of size and view and it was arranged. I have not seen meals, so not know the cost and hope it
is safe. The lift broke down a week after my friend arrived but fortunately, she could manage the stairs. She has settled now and enjoys the activities.
Reply from Sue Townend, Registered manager at Wraysbury House

Thank you, we appreciate the feedback. The lift was repaired swiftly. Your loved one has settled nicely and was sunbathing in the garden yesterday.

My aunt has been at Wraysbury House for thirty-six months and has been very happy during this time. The staff are very caring and compassionate and keep in regular contact. There have always been plenty of activities for the residents, and family and friends are always welcome to join. Although my aunt's
health is now deteriorating I continue to value the added care she receives. Thank you to the entire team at Wraysbury House.

The home has been looking after my Mum for many years though her dementia journey. She was very happy with everything about the home and staff. Now Mum is into end of life care the staff are still very caring and doing what's best for her. I've sometimes turned up when they have not expected me. I'm
always greeted with a cup of tea and Mum's level of care is no different.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife has been a resident at Wraysbury House for just a short time but thanks to the truly wonderful care, kindness and love shown to her she has settled in the quite wonderful lovely home. This is such a great comfort to me and our family at what is a difficult time. The staff are courteous and kind
as are the management, always on hand to help my wife and us if necessary. The activities and facilities are excellent and you can see that everyone is encouraged to join in. There is a lovely garden my wife can go into when the weather is warmer and we will be able to enjoy this with her during our visits. I can see that my wife is always treated with dignity and respect. I would not hesitate to recommend Wraysbury House to anyone.

Wraysbury House is a little haven of care and love. I felt reassured that many of the staff have worked there for many years, and they always knew how my friend was whenever asked, which gave me confidence in the home. Wraysbury House has a homely, comfortable and friendly feel, which was very important
to us. My friend enjoyed her food which was great, and I loved how the staff would cater for her love of biscuits and milk at various times of the day and night. She was happy with her room which was bright and uplifting. The management is excellent, always responsive, kind, generous and considerate. I am very grateful that my friend felt loved and cared for at Wraysbury House for the last months of her life.

This home has a calm atmosphere with friendly, patient staff. They made my Dad feel welcome at an apprehensive time. They encourage group activities which happen daily. A pleasant, private garden is a plus. A work in progress with its maintenance. The home is kept clean, tidy and safe. Overall my Dad
is very well looked after and we have been kept informed of his progress as he settled in.

Wraysbury House is just like a home from home. It is warm and clean with lovely rooms. Dad was very happy there. The food was excellent, Christmas party was fun. The staff were amazing with Dad, attentive, caring, kind and gentle. Dad felt safe, secure and loved, both day and night. Staff kept me fully
informed of hospital admissions and of Dad's end-of-life care. We were able to visit as much as we wished, Covid tested and provided with masks. Dad was treated with dignity at all times. Thank you so much Wraysbury House staff.

Wraysbury House is a lovely large building with airy and bright rooms on the ground and first floor. A warm welcome by all staff members on shift who greet you on arrival. Staff are experienced, helpful and patient and endeavour to make our loved ones feel relaxed and comfortable as possible. In terms
of areas for improvement, I would suggest that some bedrooms and public areas would benefit from a fresh coat of paint. Having said that the large living room, conservatory and garden are great open spaces for the residents to enjoy.

Review from Sally G (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 February 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When choosing a care home, at a very difficult time with my mum, the manager of Wraysbury House spent ten minutes on the phone explaining about how they care for dementia patients. Immediately, I was drawn to her care and warmth. At every step of our journey, we have had amazing attention from the staff
and have been kept informed of any slight medical issues and decisions around moving rooms etc. When needed, when Mum declined, in her last few weeks, we could not have been kept better informed. In the last few days, knowing the end was near, the attention, kindness, care and love shown to us and Mum were beyond words. A truly lovely family of carers - their love and affection for Mum had no boundaries.

Wraysbury House have looked after my mum for two years and she really enjoyed it there. She had two MRI's and they were excellent looking after her. For her end of life care, we were allowed to see her every day. She was 92 - a great age. She had a lovely sunny room and loved sitting in the lounge,

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.709)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.709) out of 10 for Wraysbury House 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.709 for Wraysbury House is calculated as follows: ( (94 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 127 Ratings = 4.709
  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 Wraysbury House is based on 10 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 10 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.
