I recently spent 4 weeks at The Fleet Care Home recovering from a broken ankle. The warm welcoming atmosphere, my comfortable stylish room and the friendliness , care and encouragement from all the staff were much appreciated. I enjoyed the meals which were varied and plentiful. The Cove on the ground
floor, with access to the lovely garden, was a favourite place to relax and enjoy a coffee and delicious slice of cake. It was also the venue for the wide range of entertainment and activities organised by their talented and creative team of staff and volunteers. I will certainly remember my time there with gratitude and affection.

What a joy to visit a care home and feel uplifted, rather than depressed! My sister had fractured her ankle and desperately needed somewhere for respite care whilst I was out of the country. After a fruitless search for anywhere with availability near her Plymouth home, our spirits lifted when we spotted
The Fleet's website. First impressions are so important, and from the moment we stepped inside the 'hotel like' lobby, we both knew that this was somewhere special. The overall vibe was one of positivity, from the bright, airy interior to the lovely, hard working, caring staff and beautifully tended garden. Not a whiff of over cooked cabbage or disinfectant in this establishment, but instead, vases of beautiful, fresh flowers and the aroma of fresh coffee wafting from the delightful Cove, where we met up on my return. Now safely back in her own home, she cannot speak highly enough of the care she received, so a HUGE thank you to everyone at Fleet for their kindness.

Reply from Marc Chudley, Manager at The Fleet Care Home

Thank you so much for leaving such a beautiful review. I speak on behalf of everyone here at the Fleet, when I say it has been a pleasure to provide care and support to your sister.

My husband was in The Fleet for six weeks for respite care, he was very happy there.
I visited him on most days and was always welcomed by reception and by staff on his floor.
He was encouraged to partake in activities some of which I went with him.


It was very nice to Have The Cove to spend time

with him and friends who came to visit instead of having to stay in his room.


We have been back to visit and join in with the choir and again the staff were so welcoming.

We loved the refreshing vibes when we first visited Fleet last year and now that we are relatives of a resident we know we were not wrong about our first impressions as the actuality exceeds anything and everything we hoped for in the best Care home we found.
The Manager is caring and empathetic
and this spreads to his amazing Team who are also individually lovely and full of life even though they must get weary, it doesn't show.
We feel we have joined an extended family.
The activities are wonderful too and whilst our relative didn't choose to be at Fleet, getting involved in these activities has opened up his previous small World and it's lovely to see photos of him joining in.
To have such a beautiful garden too for him to sit out in having not been able to access his own previously is just wonderful.
We cannot thank the Manager and his Team enough for welcoming us into the Fleet 'family' and so my recommendation is 10/10 and maximum stars.

My father is at The Fleet and has received wonderful care and an array of activities that I am sure has prolonged his life and memory in comparison to being alone in his flat. There always seems to be some activity or entertainment for the residents and they genuinely seem to be having fun. There could
not be a better place for him under this circumstances.

My mother came to the Fleet in summer 2024 . She had previously in sheltered accommodation but she has dementia and was no longer able/safe to care for herself.
The Fleet is bright, clean and modern. The facilities are very good : communal areas on each floor; a cafe/general area for the regular events;
a well stocked and neat courtyard garden.
Above all the staff are without exception cheerful and genuinely caring and well qualified.
I drop in at irregular times in the week and have never found anything to give me cause for concern.
If anyone wants to know more I am happy to share my experiences directly.

My father came into the Fleet in December as he could no longer care for himself. Since then the care has been excellent, friendly staff, and nothing too much trouble. They have allowed him to make his room is own. The activities and entertainment are numerous and varied. The food is good. It's not
cheap but no care home is! Highly recommend.

Care home staff were excellent, the Fleet is a clean well run home with caring, empathetic staff. They looked after my mother with dignity and respect. The 'on site' manager and admin staff were also very good. However, having paid with my money (not my mother's) for a month in advance by bank transfer
on admittance day, and later being due a refund of over £4500 the financial team demanded a raft of, in my opinion, unnecessary paperwork and the details of a solicitor to sanction a refund. They said it would take 60 days and up to 6 months to approve. In 2024 I find this scandalous, it left me with a bad taste.

My husband moved into The Fleet Care Home in July 2024, during the past four months for me personally it has been extremely difficult, but with the support from the Manager and all his staff, it has made this journey for both of us, a smooth transition from hospital, going through assessments, to now
his new home. I use the word home, we have moved personal belongings into his room, you can decorate should you wish, maintenance help you with pictures on the wall, they are there for you. Whatever may arise on a daily basis, your loved one finding it difficult to adjustment just talk or email them, someone will do their best to resolve it for you. I highly recommend for anyone in the situation of having to find a place to call home for their loved one, just make an appointment, look around this beautiful care home.

Needing to place my mum in a nursing home was not something I had prepared for. Initial conversations with admin staff and management could not have been more reassuring and friendly. My mum's complicated needs were understood fully, staff were interested in her as a person. The activities team were
terrific, encouraging and sensitive. The integral The Cove Bistro, where hot and cold drinks and plenty of homemade treats were always available to us all, was a fabulous way of making each visit an outing, such a great idea! What I really loved about spending time with my mum at The Fleet was the warmth and friendship shown by the staff towards me. There is a genuine upbeat atmosphere in the home, created by happy staff who so obviously feel great fondness for the residents in their care; how great is it that this extended to admin, management, maintenance, housekeeping and kitchen staff? All taking trouble to get to know my mum and spend time with her. Thank you Team Fleet!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.759)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.759) out of 10 for The Fleet Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.759 for The Fleet Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (332 Excellents x 5) + (63 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 410 Ratings = 4.759

  • 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 The Fleet Care Home is based on 33 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 79 registered maximum number of service users is 15.8, which has been reached with 33 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.

As a hobby I do like a good long drive, it enables me to think clearly. I also like to lose myself in fantasy or sci-fi worlds while reading or watching movies”.
