Review from Jill A (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I am always made welcome but staff continue to focus their attention on caring for the residents. This is as it should be.
My mother is clean and her hair is always combed and clipped back nicely.
When my mother had a fall she was appropriately cared for whilst awaiting the paramedics and on her return
from hospital. Thank you.
It was lovely to visit the café and to see Mum welcomed there by a member of staff who not only remembered her name, but how she liked her coffee.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother spent 5 years in the care of the staff at Elwood Place, Ifield Park, Crawley.


During her long stay the staff worked tirelessly to help her with those aspects of her life that she needed assistance with. In addition to her physical needs, time was spent ensuring that she was mentally stimulated

through various activities and the carers psyience and general interaction. As her dementia worsened, she needed more time and care which was always given with empathy, understanding and patience.


The atmosphere of the home was that of 'a family'
and it was of great comfort to us as her immediately family that we could relax in the knowledge that she was professionaly cared for.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My relative has been a resident at Ellwood Place for16 months and is very happy there. She is very well cared for and always clean and nicely dressed.
The staff are very caring and attentive to all the residents.
Over the last year, Ellwood Place has undergone a great refurbishment in the living
areas and has been decorated and furnished to a very high standard making it a very relaxing and comfortable place for the residents and visitors too.
When we visit we are always made very welcome and offered refreshment and the staff always ensure that we are able to have a comfortable area to sit with our relative for the visit .
It gives me great peace of mind to know that my relative is being so well cared for .

I am very pleased with all staff in Ellwood especially permanent Senior Carer who know residents very well and Deputy Manager who been here for a year. The place run sooth, with nice calm atmosphere, could not find better place for my mum as Ellwood place. Lady Senior carer and Man Deputy manager run
that place i will say to outstanding standard of care. My mum wasn't long there but long enough to see warmness, calmness, compassion and homely atmosphere. When mum was on EOL they always fins time to come to her room and spend time with her even if was so busy they always been there with us, support my mum emotionally but also myself and my sister, we build so good relationship with staff but especially with Senior carer and deputy manager, as those 2 you will see them all the time and they are very easy to talk and give correct advice.

The carers are always cheerful and attentive to the residents. Mum is cared for well and is clean and tidy. If any issues arise, one of the seniors contacts me to keep me updated and explain the situation in a clear manner, but always with thought to the interests of both the resident and her family.
I have the freedom to visit Mum at any time or to phone and get an update about her at any time.
I am very happy with delegating my mum's care to Ellwood Place.

My mum has been in Ellwood for around 3 years. I was really worried about my mum going into a care home but I didn't need to worry. The overall experience has been really positive. The home is like a big family. The staff show exceptional kindness and are very patient and caring. The residents are always
involved in some sort of activity. The activity staff are exceptional. All the staff are always friendly and cheerful despite what must be a very difficult job.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.271)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.271) out of 10 for Ellwood Place Dementia Care Home 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 6 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 4.671 for Ellwood Place Dementia Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (48 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 70 Ratings = 4.671
  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 4.6 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ellwood Place Dementia Care Home is based on 6 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 = 3.6
    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 6 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.
