We moved my father from The Fleet in January 2024, the council reimbursed us for four months' worth of care home fees in March, some £11,000, but paid the money to Fleet to pay us back and now they are fobbing us off, promising to call us but never calling us back. We are at our wits end.
Reply from Marc Chudley, Manager at The Fleet Care HomeHi Catherine, My Name is Marc, and I am the new manager at The Fleet Care home. I am sorry to hear of the challenges you have faced since your father left The Fleet and how this has affected your overall experience. I believe the matter has now been resolved by the central billing team. However, I will make contact with you to confirm this. In the meantime, please feel free to give me a call to talk through the situation. Kind Regards Marc Chudley

Fantastic, life-enhancing care at The Fleet. Very clean and light residence with spacious, comfortable rooms for residents and visitors. The cafe area downstairs is perfect for being together. Regular and multiple social events each week that are relevant and enjoyable for all residents. One is always
given a warm and friendly greeting at reception and beyond by all staff and everyone uses first names showing the care and love they have for all residents. Plenty of tea and cakes are always available and both inside and in the garden effort is made to make the place look loved and available to use. We love the social media posts that keep us informed and involved in weekly events when we are not able to be present. Overall The Fleet manages a first-class establishment for all stakeholders. Many thanks and our appreciation.
Reply from Jo Needs, Regional Director at The Fleet Care HomeThank you so much for the lovely review, we are thrilled to hear that your experience has been that the team provide life-enhancing care. Thanks again for the kind words.

Amazing care home, with amazing staff! The activities they plan for the residents are amazing; they are always going off on some adventure or having different things brought in, singers, bands and Alpacas!
They do coffee mornings to raise vital funds and welcome the community, which is lovely for
the residents to see new people to chat with.

I cannot thank the staff of Fleet Care home for the brilliant care for my mother, at her most vulnerable time in her life. When she felt her most unconfident and fearful, the team helped rebuild her self-esteem, mobility and confidence about returning home. Her stay has been great! She introduced herself
to other service users in the most creative way, by posing as a postie, getting involved with activities and even managing to celebrate Valentine's Day, with a lovely meal with my stepfather in the restaurant. Before she came to Fleet, her anxieties were high about being in care whilst she recovered, but the warm and welcoming greetings she received really settled those nerves. Thank you for making my mother feel at home there. She now feels confident enough to return home following the great care she's received, which is, in my mind, priceless.
Reply from Damon Drummond, Manager at The Fleet Care HomeThank you for your lovely review. having your mother here was a pleasure for us. I am so pleased her confidence has grown and she can return home. Thank you again.

An amazing home! A brilliant team! The rooms are clean and fresh and spacious, the decor can be accommodated to the individual to make it feel like home. Nothing is too much trouble at The Fleet, questions are answered promptly by any member of the team. On occasions I have eaten at The Fleet and found
the food to be nutritious and tasty, the entertainment is outstanding, residents are encouraged to join in even if some are too poorly to do so, and the team will have 1-1 with the residents, alpaca’s this week were paraded around to the amusement of the workforce but the residents were full of smiles. The home is a beautiful place and guarantees excellent care and commitment to every single person, staff, residents and their loved ones are all cared for. Come visit, stay for a cuppa and enjoy the home, you won’t be disappointed. Brilliant!
Reply from Damon Drummond, Manager at The Fleet Care HomeWhat a wonderful review! Thank you! We certainly try to make the Fleet the best place it can be for the residents and our staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My adoptive dad had been in The Fleet since September 2023 and I have been nothing but impressed by the standard of care of him and the friendly, helpful attitude of the staff. He could not have been in a better place for his end-of-life care. An intelligent active man even at 92 he was happily engaged
with artwork, walks out and singing amongst other activities during his stay. The staff enabled him to visit his sister-in-law who lives locally, helped with all his phone calls and treated him gently with dignity, respect and kindness. Staff wise there is such a good vibe from the place. Highly recommend this place with heartfelt thanks.
Reply from Damon Drummond, Manager at The Fleet Care HomeThank you for your wonderful review, I will pass this on to the staff team. I am pleased that we have been able to support your adoptive dad with respect and kindness and engaged him in our activities program. Thank you again

Throughout my sister's stay, the friendship and empathy shown from the first to her last days at The Fleet were beyond measure. The whole staff will always be remembered for their strength and support. In the very difficult days, comfort and reassurance were always there with the dedicated staff. I
could not have chosen a better place for her to travel through her dementia journey. With heartfelt thanks.

My sister was moved to The Fleet from another residential care home. She has been settled into a lovely room and all her needs taken care of. They even arranged for her to phone me for a chat which she has never done before in a care home.
From the minute I arrived to visit her I was greeted by friendly
and helpful staff and had everything explained to me and a tour of the home. Lovely place for my sister to settle in.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been in the Fleet since May and she settled in very quickly due to the immensely warm welcome extended to her and all our family. She has a lovely room, enjoys freshly prepared meals and appreciates having her hair done regularly in the hair salon. There is always a smile to greet you
when visiting the Fleet, and The Cove is a lovely place to sit and have a cup of tea with super views and easy access to the garden. Mum is encouraged to join in the many activities on offer, but she is also made to feel comfortable if she prefers an afternoon reading in her room. I am confident that mum is happy, safe and well cared for in her ‘new home’.

I am so grateful to all the staff at The Fleet Care Home because they really are wonderful. They go out of their way to help my mother-in-law, who can be quite difficult at times, and show concern, patience, and respect in abundance.

there's a hairdresser which helps residents feel pampered. The meals are good and the tea trolley is very frequent. Cannot fault The Fleet Care Home at all.

My relative is a lot happier and healthier than she was before moving into the home. She is encouraged to join in activities as much or as little as she wishes. She loves the enclosed garden and the performances put on out there. The home is well-kept and doesn't smell. The carers and management team
have always been helpful, despite being very busy.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.811)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.811) out of 10 for The Fleet Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 42 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 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 4.811 for The Fleet Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (419 Excellents x 5) + (58 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 493 Ratings = 4.811
  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 The Fleet Care Home is based on 40 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 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 79 registered maximum number of service users is 15.8, which has been reached with 40 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.
