My mother has been a resident at Alder House for over four years and I have always found her care to have been of a high standard. The quality of accommodation, food, and the activities provided for the residents is excellent. The care and dignity shown by the staff to the residents should also be admired
and recognised.

Both my mother and I were apprehensive about my mother becoming a resident in a care home, having had a less than satisfactory experience when my father had to go into a home (about 20 years ago). We have both been pleasantly surprised by the real dedication of the staff to treat residents with care,
compassion, and respect. Real effort is put into keeping the residents mentally stimulated as well as clean, well-fed and secure. They treat her as an individual without being patronising or officious.

My father passed away in March 2021 after spending 15 months at Alder House. Although he was declining throughout his time there the staff continued to give him the attention, love and compassion he deserved and would have appreciated. Visits were curtailed by Coronavirus but staff always helped him
with phone and video calls and stayed with him until the call was over. The staff took it in turns to sit with him during his final days and made it possible for the family to say their goodbyes and we are deeply thankful for that. Thank you for your care and compassion.

My father, who is almost 97, has been at Alder House for nearly 3 years. At first, he was upset and confused about the sudden change in his life, but he was treated with such kindness, sympathy and understanding by all the staff there that he soon settled down and it is now his home. He has a lovely
spacious room with a big bed, en suite and TV, and use of the comfortable, bright living room. Should he wish he can use the cinema, cafe or library too. The dining room is organised like a restaurant and the generous meals always look and smell delicious. I am so impressed with the efforts that the staff make to engage and involve the residents in a variety of fun activities. Dad, who has increasing trouble with dementia, has been helped to write his life story and is treated with respect and dignity by the always approachable staff. Whenever I visit he looks happy and contented. We are so glad we chose Alder House and can't recommend it highly enough.

I don't normally write reviews but I felt the need to. My nana came for respite care and let's face it our loved ones never like to leave home. At first, I did feel guilty for needing some time to recharge my batteries. This care home was by far the best choice and reassured me that my nana would be
given a high standard of care. My nana is very particular and she loved being here. I've seen a few and they are shocking. Alder House is beautiful, clean, wonderful staff, a warm friendly welcome, they couldn't do enough for you. Alder House, will always be my first choice for my nana and knowing she's in the best possible care, it allowed me to relax and enjoy valuable time with my family. Thank you.

Review from Vivienne G (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 December 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Sadly my mum passed away. She went into Alder House struggling with dementia, chronic loneliness, anxiety, angst and was refusing to eat, drink or tolerate carers. Amazingly, due to the understanding, patience and care of the staff, she soon settled, made friends, put on weight and was far less anxious.
Our regret as a family is that she didn't live long enough to experience her newfound contentment for longer. Hospitalisation for a minor chest infection and the contraction of Covid took her life within days of admission to the ward. Thank you to all the staff for giving her a better quality of life and their caring contact with us as relatives in a very difficult time. Professional, genuinely caring people.

I wish to say thank you to all staff involved in caring for my mother. I found the staff to be professional at all times and in a friendly manner. I am grateful for all their hard work in respect of caring for my mother and making her feel special and welcome over the past months whilst moving into
her new home. It is obvious she feels secure and has settled; making friendships and continuing to be her usual happy self with staff giving her a sense of purpose each day. As a family we know we can contact the care home at any time to arrange a video call and or visit (COVID-19 safe) to see her. This gives us as family confidence knowing that our mother is being looked after well and all is being done to make these unprecedented times go as smooth as possible.

Fantastic care home, wonderful staff, so warm and friendly. It was my mum's first time for respite so very apprehensive but didn't need to worry, it is a testament to everyone there that my mum did not want to come home. She will definitely be back for future stays. We can only say again thank you the

Review from L P (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 October 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Not recommended for Alzheimer’s. My mother was wrongly advised by a senior member of staff at Alder House that the care would be suitable for my father. He was falling repeatedly, in this home, averaging 3 times per week. Not only this, upon visiting, I found him to be unwashed, wearing dirty clothes,
often with food down his trousers. I had to ask for him to be showered. I complained to the care home manager, as I was obviously extremely worried. The complaint letter was never responded to from my mother. My father was evicted with 7 days notice during the lockdown, this was apparently due to my (quote) “threatening behaviour”. As we were frantically searching for somewhere else, my father was admitted into Hospital over Easter weekend with a suspected hip fracture following another unattended fall at Alder House. He waited 1 week for an MRI, contracted COVID-19. My now late father and our family experienced inhumane treatment by Alder House. We are still haunted by this experience.
Reply from Angus Matthew, Senior Marketing Manager at Alder House Care Home - Avery Healthcare

Father came into our care for a period of respite, so you had an opportunity to sample our services. Unfortunately, at this assessment stage, your father's previous history of falling was not disclosed. After the period of respite had ended, the family asked for the placement to be made more permanent and to my knowledge, there were no concerns raised at this time. Sadly, your father’s mental health deteriorated very quickly, due to his advanced cognitive impairment, however, your father remained physically very active and quite fit. This was a huge challenge to the care team, as your father had no insight into the risks he presented, as we have a spacious environment. The care team sought advice from a range of professionals (the Community Mental Health Services, Physiotherapy services, the Falls team, Adult Social Care Safeguarding Team, the Care Quality Commission) and it was agreed that to keep your father safe that he would need to be moved to a safer nursing environment.

I would like to commend the management and staff of Alder House for coping so admirably with the coronavirus situation. They have had to deal with extraordinary circumstances and have had to risk their own and their family's health to continue to give the residents outstanding care. The care is delivered
with good humour and genuine affection. I am so happy that my mother is content and so well cared for.

My mum has been at Alder House since December 2016, initially moving in for respite with my dad, both in their 90s. Mum has a lovely room with en-suite. It is such a relief to know she is being so well cared for during the current crisis. The staff have been amazing and although I haven’t been able
to see Mum in person, we have been FaceTiming (Mum is very deaf and has dementia) where the carers have helped her with the iPad. It’s been reassuring to see photos of Mum on Facebook and to hear about the treats and activities that the residents have still been able to participate in, particularly that in this sunshine they have been able to socially distance in the lovely gardens. Most of all, I am so grateful for the care, kindness and understanding that Mum (and I) always receive from the wonderful staff.

Such a lovely, friendly caring home. Nothing is too much trouble for any member of staff. They all work together and form a very strong team. You can feel that they all get on as a unit. The atmosphere is always very calm and they are so kind and caring to all residents. We have witnessed all of them

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.902)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.902) out of 10 for Alder House Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.902 for Alder House Care Home - Avery Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (279 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 305 Ratings = 4.902
  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 Alder House Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on 26 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 26 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.
