Garfield Unit. All the staff are caring, compassionate and take time to get to know each resident and their individual needs and wishes. They go out of their way to tend to these needs and provide the best possible care. They provide a welcoming environment for families, taking time to get to know them
and keeping them updated regularly. A great team!

My husband is a permanent resident at Garfield House suffering from Parkinsons. I could not be happier with the care he receives. The staff are so patient with him and treat him with the utmost care and dignity. The catering staff go out of their way to provide food for a very picky patient. If ever
there is a problem I am informed immediately. Thank you to everyone.

My mother was in Garfield House for 5 years and the care, love and devotion she received was second to none, even when she passed away in November the staff were so helpful and even attended the funeral. I can not speak more highly of the home and staff. Everything about Garfield is superb.

Review from Sue C (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 December 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Dad has been in Garfield for around 12 months now (give or take a day or two), and whilst he has advanced Alzheimer's and is unable to communicate very well, he is clearly content where he is. The staff are committed to their residents, compassionate, patient and dedicated. The only issue I have is
that there are too few of them on the unit. They are run ragged sometimes. I am reassured that Dad is in safe hands though.

Review from Ailsa W (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 November 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have found Garfield House at Carders Court to be a very welcoming care home from the outset. Mum is settling in well after a few weeks of respite care and is so happy there that she has decided to stay! Her room, and the accommodation in general, is bright and clean. The team of carers are fantastic
and really do go the extra mile to ensure that Mum is comfortable. All in all, I am very impressed and would happily recommend Garfield House at Carders Court.

Review from Julia P (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 November 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister and I looked at nine care homes for respite for our mum. It was a really hard decision, and we didn't feel any of them were right. We had all but given up when I remembered a friend's dad being in Carders Court. I knew instantly this was the place for her - it's bright, clean, nice smelling
and wonderful, caring staff. Mum was initially there for just two weeks for respite but did so well and liked it so much she has stayed in on a full-time basis. We visit every day and can really recommend this home.

My brother seems happy in Garfield House, the nurses and carers are all really nice and helpful. They are quick to spot if there are any health issues and address them. There are activities he can choose to take part in and although he is unable to live independently any longer he is well looked after.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dad sadly was only there for a month but received excellent care. The care manager spent time with us, ensuring Dad got the best care he needed. All the staff were very friendly and well-trained in helping Dad with his needs.
What was most important to us was that he was treated with the utmost dignity
and respect right up to the end.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.529)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.529) out of 10 for Garfield House Residential Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 7 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 4.829 for Garfield House Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (70 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 82 Ratings = 4.829
  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 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Garfield House Residential Care Home is based on 7 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 = 3.7
    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 7 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.
