Review from Heather D (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 July 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dad moved from the flats attached to Olive Tree Court for end of life care. The care home is immaculate and the staff are brilliant. They are always happy to answer any questions and very accommodating to dietary requests. I visit almost every day and it is lovely to see familiar carers day after day
rather than a high turnover of staff. Dad is extremely well cared for, his personal hygiene is excellent and the staff extremely friendly to him. It is a calm , relaxed environment with no-one rushing around. Nothing is too much trouble.
Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at Olive Tree House

Hello,It's such a delight for us to be able to serve your Dad, given particularly he was already living with us in Olive Tree House! Your five star review will thrill my colleagues in Olive Tree, thank you. With my best wishes, CEO

Mum's room is excellent. The home has excellent facilities and the hall providing activities which mum probably cannot really appreciate.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The nurses are very friendly and helpful. They are very professional and are aware of all of my father-in-law's needs and requirements. They encourage him to eat and drink all the appropriate food. They encouraged us to bring his tape-recorders and CD's for him to listen to. They encourage him to go
into the lounge when he is capable of this. Overall, they display great care towards his personal hygiene, eating and drinking and I feel confident that they are caring well for him.

I would like to say a big thank you to Olive Tree for letting us use the bar for my dad's 92nd birthday. The buffet food was also amazing, thank you. I would also like to thank the event coordinator; she was brilliant, thank you.
This nursing home has always been there for my dad, and so glad he came
here to be looked after.
I would recommend this home to anyone. Thank you.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
This care home for my mother-in-law is satisfactory. The staff are very friendly and welcoming.
I'm not here when it's mealtimes so I don't know how the food is but my mother-in-law doesn't complain.
She has no mobility and is bed-bound.
She tells me she worries someone will come into her room at
night, which is a little worrying! I'm not sure that has happened though but sometimes someone wanders in unexpectedly and she has to press her "button" to summon someone to come and remove them. A little bit concerning.
Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at Olive Tree House

HelloFirstly I am shocked to read your Mother in law's concern and have asked our Manager, Vlad to investigate immediately. We clearly want every resident to feel safe day and night. Thank you for telling us of her concern. It may well have been our night staff doing their checks on each resident which they make all endeavours to be unobtrusive but we will definitely investigate in any event. My best wishes to you and your family, thank you, Helen

My husband was made very welcome at Olive Tree House, from the start and despite his Dementia he settled well quite quickly. The nursing and care staff were good, they listened to us and acted on any concerns we had.
When the inevitable happened the end of life care was compassionate towards him and
his family.

Most care was very good, just a shame dad fractured him arm when with you.
On leaving they have not given us any information on dad and where he is at now and any changes in him. Plus I just found out that you have permanently taken him off the doctors he has been with. I was told dad doctors would
change but only on temporary bases, now dad is without doctors until I get to doctors to get form and fill out, but as I don't know doctors you use will have to sort that out.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.670)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.670) out of 10 for Olive Tree House 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 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.670 for Olive Tree House is calculated as follows: ( (278 Excellents x 5) + (74 Goods x 4) + (23 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 376 Ratings = 4.67
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Olive Tree House is based on 31 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 65 registered maximum number of service users is 13, which has been reached with 31 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.
