Happy with care despite not many staff being on each shift. Staff work hard and are responsive to needs to the best of their abilities and capacity.
Food seems nice with appropriate choice. Reasonable portions.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My Mum came into the care home in November 2024. She was quite unwell and had difficulties with mobilities, speech, and eating. All the staff made her feel welcome and took good care of her. This care was extended to my Father who came to visit and stayed by my mum's side for most of the time. The staff
including the nursing staff and carers went above and beyond to care for my Mum and were compassionate to all my family at the end of her life.

My wife was referred to Cordes Court due to late-stage dementia, and the inability to feed herself and take care of herself. The care she is receiving is of a high standard and I couldn't ask for more. Any queries are answered immediately as are any concerns.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My friend has been living in Rakewood House at Cavders Court for a while now and I can't say enough about the excellent care they provide. The staff are genuinely attentive and always friendly and they go out of their way to make sure everyone feels at home. The facilities are clean, well-monitored
and comfortable. They offer a range of engaging activities that my friend enjoys. It's reassuring to know they are in a safe, warm, and compassionate environment where their needs are consistently met. I would highly recommend Rakewood House to anyone seeking quality care and peace of mind for their loved one.

Mum has been a resident at Rakewood since 2016 and the care she has received has been brilliant. The staff are all caring, polite, kind, and thoughtful with good communication and the home itself is clean, and warm with a lovely homely lounge and plenty of entertainment and activities for the residents.
Mum has always been treated with respect and dignity along with good care.
Thank you Rakewood!

The staff are friendly in difficult conditions.
The rooms are adequate, a bit tatty.
The staff are good with my Mother who can be hard work.
Sometimes it's hard to get into the until 5 to 10 minutes.

My Mother has been in Rakewood since July 2024.
During this time she has been well cared for and I think she is happy with the care that is delivered.
My only concern is that I don't think there are enough staff rotered during nights.

The staff have been very kind, friendly, and very respectful to my sister. When asked a question they help as soon as they can.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Staff were very attentive my mum was cared for with dignity and respect. We were kept well informed, day staff rang to say we needed to go back in and was very caring and knowledgeable professional. Night staff was on shift when my mum passed they explained pain relief was available if needed beforehand.
They were very empathetic and also allowed us to spend our time to be able to have time with my mum but also being aware that if needed they were there for both my mum and the family. We again were kept well informed of what would happen next. Kitchen staff were very good when asking for her own food to be liquidated nothing was too much trouble.

Review from Monica L (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 January 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After nine years in the home, Mum passed in June. During those nine years, there had been several changes of ownership/management along with rapid turnovers of care staff and I saw several changes in the way Mum was cared for, including the loss of continuity for Mum (she had Dementia) as far as carers
getting to know her and more importantly, Mum getting to recognise and know her carers.
However, in the last few years, the latest management change afforded Mum that continuity. The staff were happier and I can honestly say that Mum was loved and cherished during her last few years. Even through the pandemic years when I was unable to be with her as I would have liked, I knew that she was cared for as well as I could expect.
Whilst being cared for in a care home is never going to be a perfect situation, I am happy with how Mum and also her family, were always treated with respect, understanding and love. Her last few days and weeks were made more bearable for us because of this level of care.
Reply from Minu Mathews, Registered Home manager at Rakewood House Care Home

Thank you, for taking the time to provide feedback, we are pleased to hear the quality of care delivered to Mum provided comfort to you and your family it was an honour for our staff to care for your mum.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.741)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.741) out of 10 for Rakewood House 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 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.741 for Rakewood House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (270 Excellents x 5) + (66 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 348 Ratings = 4.741
  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 Rakewood House Care Home is based on 30 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 30 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.
