My father was a resident for five and a half years before he sadly passed away. He was extremely well cared for and I could not have wished for a better place for him to spend his final years. The staff were amazing! Words will never be enough to express my gratitude and admiration for them. He was
happy and content which is all I could have wished for. I will sorely miss visiting there as the staff were always very friendly and helpful and also very professional in the care they gave my father and other residents. I will be eternally grateful to them. Love them all.

My husband was transferred to Wellington House from hospital in June 2022 and stayed until November 2022. The care he received was outstanding. The staff were caring, friendly and attentive to his every need. I was so reassured when I first visited him. The atmosphere in the home was relaxed and calm
and the receptionist was excellent in dealing with all my queries and making sure he was settled; it was always a pleasure to see her. My husband stayed at Wellington House for a considerable length of time and the patience of the carers and professionals in helping to regain his mobility was heartwarming. The nurses were across his medication and regularly in touch with the local GP. He really appreciated the visits from the chiropodist and the hairdresser, all organised on our behalf. It was a great relief to know that he was in such wonderful hands, from the care manager, who was so kind to me, to the occupational therapist, the chef, the cleaners, the carers and the receptionist. Thank you, all of you.

My mother has been at Bletchingley & Wellington for two years now. We are so delighted to have found the perfect nursing home to suit her needs. The staff are always so polite and caring. My mother always looks clean and well-turned out. It has been very difficult for her, but I feel she is comfortable
and in the best possible place. The atmosphere is always so calm and reassuring.

My father was referred to Bletchingley in June 2021 aged 93, at first temporarily after a fall at home and a spell in hospital. After a short while, he surprised us all by saying he would prefer to stay on rather than go home and live independently. Since then, he has continued to describe how happy
and cared for he feels at the home. The staff are attentive, responsible and understanding of his specific needs which are basically to be left alone but monitored closely. He is always clean and well-fed, his medications are administered precisely. Staff bring the phone to his room for daily calls, and his room is warm and clean. The family couldn't be happier with his placement, he has spent a happy 18 months there.

My mother has been at the care home more than five years and during that time the care has been outstanding. The accommodation is spacious and modern, complimented by helpful and attentive staff.
I would recommend this home to any prospective residents.

This is our first encounter with a care home. The staff at Bletchley & Wellington have been very friendly and are always happy to help. My dad came from the hospital to Bletchley where he settled in really well. The staff took into account his needs and treated him with respect and dignity. They also
took my mum's concerns around dad being in care into account and eased her anxiety. If we have any questions or concerns they are always able to help or will find out the answers for us.
When it was my dad's birthday everyone wrote on his card. They also made him a birthday cake which we all enjoyed. The staff made this day very special for our family. It is a very well-managed care home and we can highly recommend it.

My Mum came to Bletchingley & Wellington to recuperate after being in hospital and is now a permanent resident. The staff are always kind, caring, courteous and welcoming and keep us up to date with any changes. The care home always looks very clean and tidy and is decorated well. My mum has a large
room which looks out onto the pretty garden. Mum has very specific tastes in food and does not always enjoy some of her meals.

Mum was looked after really well. Unfortunately due to her mobility, she was unable to participate in activities in the day room but from what was seen in the newsletter it looks like the residents are kept amused during the day. Really cannot fault mum's care whilst in the home.

My father was placed at Bletchingley & Wellington Nursing home to recuperate after being in the hospital. From the outset every one of the staff has been brilliant, exceptionally caring, welcoming and keeping us updated at all times. My father, the employees and the home are always immaculate. He likes
to do his own thing and they are very accommodating. He has several health issues and whatever the situation everyone is patient, kind and courteous. My father has now decided to become a permanent resident and we are amazed as he had always been against going into full-time care. I feel this is due to the wonderful staff he regards as friends. I would also like to say this is a lovely place to visit him. Thank you Wellington for all you do and for giving us peace of mind.

My friend a retired nurse with multiple health issues and dementia was moved to Bletchingley & Wellington after other homes had failed to meet her complex needs. They succeeded where other homes had failed her. All the team were kind, respectful and professional in their work. The concept of Advance
Care Planning was understood and actioned with the agreement of the local GP (at my request soon after admission) Thank you Bletchingley & Wellington.

Having had a bad fall followed by three weeks in hospital I'd lost confidence and stamina and felt very vulnerable. The six weeks I spent at Wellington House helped me with this. All the staff were very kind and encouraging and the environment was welcoming. I would've found returning home much harder
without the help from Wellington House.

Bletchingley looked after my mother for the last four years of her life. She had dementia. The staff were unfailingly kind, patient and attentive. She was very happy there. The staff kept our family well informed at all times as to how she was. She died at the age of 99 with dignity and peace.

The staff do an amazing job under daily difficult and testing circumstances. Our family have great respect for them.

My mother has just spent six weeks in Bletchingley and she couldn’t have been more pleased. She was treated with care and respect at all times. Nothing was too much trouble for the wonderful nursing and care staff. She also enjoyed the food. Thank you to all at Bletchingley for looking after her so

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.853)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.853) out of 10 for Bletchingley & Wellington 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 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.853 for Bletchingley & Wellington is calculated as follows: ( (322 Excellents x 5) + (47 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 373 Ratings = 4.853

  • 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 Bletchingley & Wellington is based on 33 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 56 registered maximum number of service users is 11.2, which has been reached with 33 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.
