Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As I have said many times before- there is little to say because everything is fine. The only thing I would like it to have lunch at 1pm (or 12:30) and tea at 6pm (or 6:30). Keep the good work up- thanks. Marks 11 out of 10.
Reply from Lewis Farrell, Manager at Little Heath Reablement & Support CentreGood morning JS,

Thank you for taking the time to complete a review based on your experiance of living at Little Heath Reablement.

It is great to see that you have such a positive view of the service. I know we have discussed your meal times and that you are able to have your meals whenever you like, however, the reisdents all have their meals in the dining room at those set times which you like to attend for the social aspect, which is understandable.

All feedback is valued and communicated with the staff team who are very proud of the service they provide.

Thank you again for your communication.

Many thanks,

Lewis

Staff are very friendly and treat you with respect. Always a good choice of food delivered on time which I choose to eat in my room. I enjoy the trips out for shopping and meals. My room is always kept clean and tidy which I appreciate. My visitors come at very flexible times and are always made welcome.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This was the second stay for my Mum and the care she received was excellent. Also My Dad was there for a couple of weeks too at the same time. Lewis and his team including the carers and nurses were so kind to them both. They looked after Mum and Dad so well and treated me like a member of their family.
Nothing was too much trouble for Mum or Dad and they showed so much kindness, empathy and always cheerful.
It was always clean, tidy and the food was good. I can never thank you all enough for everthing you did for my parents and our family and would definitely recommend Little Heath Reablement and Support Centre
Reply from Lewis Farrell, Manager at Little Heath Reablement & Support CentreGood afternoon,

Thank you again for leaving another review in a different format, it really helps and we are very greatful.

It was a pleasure for the team to support both mum and dad during their time at Little Heath Reablement and Support, the team and I also enjoyed getting to know you and the wider family during this time.

Thank you again,

Lewis

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my Mum came to Little Heath Reablement, as a permanent resident, we have been so impressed by the care she has received.


Mum arrived very frail and unwell but since arriving in 2024 she has gone from strength to strength. She has gained weight and is now looking so much healthier.


I cannot

fault the care she receives, both residents and family are always treated with dignity and respect. Staff are all super friendly and take time to get to know residents (making the environment very homely).


Little Heath does not feel like a care home at all and I can highly recommend.

Reply from Lewis Farrell, Manager at Little Heath Reablement & Support CentreGood afternoon,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this lovely review.

The team and I are so pleased that you have seen this positive change since your mums admission. I am also pleased that you and your family feel welcomed into the home when you visit mum. It is great to hear that you have witnessed dignity and respect being upheled with relation to your mums care.

I will pass this lovely review onto the further team, they will be very proud to hear this.

Thank you again,

Lewis

Very good end of life care for my mother. You also looked after my father as a day visitor as if he was a resident which made their time together very valuable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Little Heath to anyone.

I cannot rate Little Heath enough for the care and the support they gave to my mum and to me and my sister during mums stay. She was cared for and genuinely loved by all staff. We knew we could leave her after visiting and know that she was safe and cared for. Mum knew that as well and called Little
Heath her home. She adored all the staff and always had a flow of visitors from Little Heath, visiting her or just popping the head round her door to say hello. I will forever be grateful to them all.
Reply from Lewis Farrell, Manager at Little Heath Reablement & Support CentreGood morning Estelle,
Thank you so much for sharing your families lovely feedback, again, we really appreciate you taking the time to do so.
The team all had such special connections with your mum as you know. I am so pleased that you felt your mum was safe and at home, that is always our goal and I am pleased you felt this was achieved.
You are a lovely family who the team also loved getting to know and developed lovely connections with.
I will share this feedback with the team who will be very proud to hear this.
Thank you again!
Take care,
Lewis :)

This is the second stay for my daughter. She has thoroughly enjoyed her six week stay. She was looked after very well and all staff have been fantastic. Nurses/staff spent time with my daughter, giving comfort and compassion. We cannot thank Little Heath enough for helping and spending time with her.
She enjoyed the activities too and made friends with the other residents. Little Heath, thank you.

Review from Meriel J (Friend of Resident) published on 5 February 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As an ex-manager myself, I have been particularly impressed with the lady in charge of Little Heath Reablement and Support Centre, both as to her competence - she has detailed knowledge of all her residents, answers all queries as to their present needs, current situation and future options, visitors’
names, contact names – all without needing to look them up. She is also extremely likeable, very easy to talk to, and happy to help, but at the same time careful about what information she imparts. The staff I found very pleasant with my friend and very happy to help me during my visits. The Centre feels like a happy place when you visit.
Reply from Lewis Farrell, Manager at Little Heath Reablement & Support CentreThank you so much for taking the time to complete this fantastic review. The team member you have been communicating with is a Unit Care Leader who is an asset to our team; she is extremely pleased and very grateful for your feedback!
The team and I are proud that you have always had a positive experience when visiting and that you have always found the team being pleasant with your friend.
Thank you again for taking the time to express your views; it means a lot to the team.

I have been a guest for several weeks now, and it is with sadness that I learn that Little Heath Reablement Centre, which is a much-needed facility, will no longer be a rehab; it is currently helping me to hopefully return home soon. I am pleased that the unit will continue to function as a care and
hope that the residents coming in will benefit from the superb team of friendly and helpful staff currently
employed here.
Reply from Bronny Payne, Business Manager at Little Heath Reablement & Support CentreThank you so much for your lovely review. We are glad you've had a great stay with us. The team are looking forward to providing residents of our newly proposed service with the same superb care.

Mum was at Little Heath Reablement Centre earlier this year following a hip replacement operation. She was there for about a month and in that time was treated exceptionally well.
We could not fault any of the care she received. The staff treated Mum with dignity and respect and ensured she received
appropriate care during her rehabilitation. The staff were all very friendly and approachable.
Mum often commented on how good the food was. The environment always appeared clean whenever I visited.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.379)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.379) out of 10 for Little Heath Reablement & Support Centre 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 8 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 4.729 for Little Heath Reablement & Support Centre is calculated as follows: ( (81 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.729
  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 4.65 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Heath Reablement & Support Centre is based on 8 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 + 0.05 = 3.65
    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 24 registered maximum number of service users is 4.8, which has been reached with 8 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.
