From feeling a very miserable old lady, I now realise I have a lot of life left in me and I contribute that to moving into Caddington Grove.
The staff are treated with respect and everybody works in union with each other.

It's like a 5 star hotel. We weren't quite sure what to expect when we came here, but it's been excellent and the people have been lovely.

The staff have been lovely, the home is very pleasant and lovely. It's comfortable and beautiful. I have enjoyed walking around the gardens and sitting in the sunshine. The freedom to be able to have a wander around the home and still have access to my own interests and hobbies is very important to
me. I have made good friends during my time in the home and I will be back to visit.

I suffer from Parkinson's and the accommodation is adequate for my needs. My wife has had a well-earned break after surgery.
We have seen a few care homes in the area and none of them compares to this one.

The home is beautiful, clean and well kept. The staff are very friendly and pleasant and help provide me with the independence to do what I would like to do. There is always something to do for everyone, from stretch classes to local walks, they will make sure you're kept occupied.
The food is well
prepared and very tasty, you can order what you wish from a fresh menu and you feel that it is a pleasure for them to do it for you. The care you're provided with and the extras that are included are well worth the money.
Management is very adaptable and easy to talk to. I feel that they really care about me. The home manager likes to get involved with the residents and is highly motivated. The bedrooms are wonderful and spacious with nice views. I really enjoy attending the cinema club on Thursdays where we are given fresh homemade ice cream and popcorn!

Whilst my mother has only been in Caddington Grove just a short while, her overall care has been excellent. She has impressed both medically and socially. The homemakers are just wonderful making every day and experience for residents.
It would be lovely to see more residents come in to experience
the care but only time and management can make this happen.
A big thank you to you all.

On phoning around looking for care for my mum I happened to phone Caddington Grove. I spoke to the Community Relations Lead, who was friendly and confident, whose manner meant we eventually selected Caddington for my mum to have her respite care.
On entering the bright, modern, sweet smelling home,
we immediately felt comfortable. It's a luxury home from home.
Mum has had all her needs met from hot baths to whatever meals she requires, head and hand massages in the early hours to help her relax.
5 days in she is very settled and is certainly asking for anything she requires.
She is being encouraged to be independent, so she can hopefully return to her own home again.
The home is open for Cinema Club and the community hair salon means that Mum can continue to visit even after she has returned home.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.795)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.795) out of 10 for Caddington Grove Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.795 for Caddington Grove Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (186 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 224 Ratings = 4.795

  • 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 Caddington Grove Care Home is based on 19 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 19 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.
