The place was like walking into a hotel. It was spotless and attention to detail was impeccable. My relative was admitted for short term respite and has only been there two days and is seriously thinking of staying there permanently as it is so perfect in every way. The staff are exceptional.

Reply from Paul Bradford, Commissioning Manager at Hen Cloud House

Hello,
Thank you so much for your kind words, we are naturally very proud of Hen Cloud House and the team who deliver our care, we are so pleased your relative feels that the care and attention to detail are meeting her needs.

Visited Mum for the first time since she had moved into Hen Cloud and received such a warm welcome from all the staff on arrival and the necessary Covid tests were quickly and efficiently carried out. We had travelled a long distance and refreshments were all ready and waiting for us. The immediate
impression upon entering the building is one of a warm, happy family atmosphere with a high standard building, beautifully (but practically) furnished. The layout of the home/gardens have been well thought out, flowing with wide corridors, lots of light and a comfy feeling. The management have brought together a very mixed age, respectful and friendly group of staff. One of the main reasons for selecting Hen Cloud was their criteria of not employing agency staff, with each member being able to carry out all functions - we felt this was crucial during these Covid times. Mum is always able to have lady carers look after her own personal care. Her enormous quality ensuite bathroom, with a seat to effortlessly transition her in/out of the bath, is marvellous. She has been encouraged to put her own pictures on the walls. When Covid rules allow, we look forward to joining her in the cinema room. Mum feels safe, secure and is enjoying herself.

Dad was the first resident to move into Hen Cloud House. Other residents have since joined, but I was a little nervous about him feeling lonely with the current quarantine restrictions. I need not have worried, he was made to feel welcome from the start, and the staff kept him company until the residents
were able to socialise. The staff and management have been amazing. They are caring, considerate and very professional. Even when Dad had a health wobbly, the team showed due diligence and kept me informed regularly! I am so happy that we chose Hen Cloud House.

Thank you for your feedback. We are so pleased your Dad has settled in well at Hen Cloud House.

I've found Hen Cloud House to be an excellent facility in a good location. My mother feels very settled and secure here. The manager, in particular, has been very helpful in a difficult circumstance and has been professional and attentive throughout. The rooms are beautiful, and the food is very good.
My mother is looking forward to more activities starting, in particular, the cinema! Thank you to the manager and all staff.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.695)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.695) out of 10 for Hen Cloud House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.695 for Hen Cloud House is calculated as follows: ( (147 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 190 Ratings = 4.695

  • 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 Hen Cloud House is based on 15 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 15 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.
