Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum is in the home due purely to old age, 98. She is not a difficult person to look after generally but I think all people of this age can be a little difficult at times when they don't want to do this or that and it must be difficult for the staff day in, day out doing this job, they must have so many
patients. I must say that apart from the patient, all of us visitors and family get a first-class welcome and treatment from all the staff and management each time we visit. Overall the room and facilities are good and clean and the food varied and well prepared, so couldn't really ask for much better care and attention.

The care my dad receives at Karenza is wonderful, even though there has been a large change in staff recently, the standards have continued to be high.
Dad loves being at Karenza and on many occasions, has said he wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
After each visit, I go home feeling happy that Dad
is happy.

After my Mum was admitted to hospital with a UTI she had a torrid time in A&E. She then had a severe stroke and spent 21 weeks in hospital. At least 12 of these in isolation. It looked as though she had improved enormously. The staff are amazing and the care she receives is second to none. Seeing Mum
smiling and looking like her old self is down to all at this wonderful care home.

My mum has been in Karenza for getting on for three years. The first year was bad. Changes in staff literally every couple of weeks, no activities, she wasn't happy. We were upset that she was upset. She had a bangle stolen also! However, now the home is completely different, Mum is happy and I cannot
praise the staff enough. I feel I can bring anything up and will be listened to.

Review from Nicola S (Niece of Resident) published on 21 May 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The home was in a beautiful spot. Lots of staff were around and were all friendly, helpful and welcoming. They were kind and patient with the residents and visitors alike. They bought us a tray of tea in the bright, airy dining room while we chatted with our uncle. His room was bright and airy and he
looked happy and healthier the last time we saw him. The home was spotlessly clean and smelt totally fresh and clean.

My very first impression of Karenza when entering was to be made welcome. It smells so fresh in the building. Watching the staff, I was impressed with their care of the residents. The rooms are light and airy. It is so good to feel your loved one is being so well looked after, and settled. Well done
to you all, and thank you for your care and kindness.

I have found Karenza Care Home a very warm, friendly and welcoming place. It is spotlessly clean and feels very homely. The staff are wonderful, very caring, respectful and compassionate to all the residents. Mum is always clean fresh clothes are always washed with care and every item is labelled. A
very professionally run care home.

Review from Natalie R (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 26 September 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care Karenza provided my gramps in the last few months of his life was more than we had ever had hoped for. The positive atmosphere the team has created in the home is apparent the moment you walk through the door. Deciding to move my gramps into residential housing was a hard decision to come to
for my family, but seeing how well he was cared for and how much he loved it there, we know now it was completely the right decision. The communication between the home and the family was faultless - we were constantly updated with changes to his care, no matter how small of a change. The end of life care they gave made a very difficult time a lot more manageable. Not only did they show compassion toward my gramps, but the empathy they showed towards my family and myself really showed what a brilliant team they are. While we miss my gramps everyday, we are so grateful that Karenza was able to provide a home for him and ensure his last moments of life were full of dignity and love.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The staff are always welcoming and good to help with my husband if needed during a visit. They have a grip on his essential character and can tell me of his moods. He is content with the staff and the food. He is basically happy at Karenza and regularly says so.
Only complaint is the difficulty of
speaking to my husband on the phone.

The new management team have taken this care home to the next level. The all-round care is very supportive, dignified and professional. The nurses, two in particular, are excellent. We have met some of the wonderful team who can't do enough for you. Keep up the good work and most of all thank you.

Karenza rescued my mother and have brought back her smile. Even at 95, she is now thriving and socialising again. She has gained weight and is eating well. They manage her dementia with kindness and dignity.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.263)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.263) out of 10 for Karenza 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 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 4.663 for Karenza Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (56 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 80 Ratings = 4.663
  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 Karenza 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 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 22 registered maximum number of service users is 4.4, 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.
