Review from A P (Husband of Resident) published on 11 November 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A wonderful nursing home, perfectly laid out with wide corridors, two large comfortable lounges and a large dining room. Each residential room is adequate with a walk in toilet/wet room. A lovely patio and garden overlooking Southampton Water which was ideal during the recent warm weather. All the staff
that I have encountered have been very polite, patient and very caring. From my experience I don't think that many similar places could better with the environment, and caring staff and management.

My Mum has been at Waterside for three months now and she is settled, happy and content. It is a lovely residence and very well designed all staff are approachable, friendly and always have a smile on their faces. Nothing is too much trouble for them and there is always someone available if you need
to speak to them. Oh, and the tea/coffee and biscuits offered to visitors is much appreciated.

Mum has settled well in a welcoming and friendly environment, all staff are helpful and pleasant, she loves getting her food menus and choosing what meals she would like there is a great choice. Mum loves visiting the in house hair salon to get her hair done and has also discovered the fab bath with
lights and bubbles and is enjoying this a lot, like that when we visit we are always offered a hot drink and biscuits. Would highly recommend this care home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister stays in Waterside, we have experienced care and consideration of the highest standard. Every effort is made to make residents feel at home. There room doors all feature images which reflect their past lives and interests, stimulating memory and engaging a sense of homeliness. Medical wards
are appropriately minimised and monitored by the team, liaising as necessary with extended agencies. An appropriate home which for many will be there last residence.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am delighted to share my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional care and support provided by the manager and the entire team at Waterside Care Home during my Nan's recent transition. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were warmly welcomed into an environment that radiates warmth and
kindness. The home itself is beautifully maintained, with serene gardens that offer a peaceful retreat for residents and visitors alike. The manager and the team have gone above and beyond to ensure my Nan feels comfortable and cherished, attending to her needs with genuine compassion and professionalism. It is immensely reassuring to know that she is in such capable hands and will continue to thrive in a setting where her well-being is the utmost priority. Thank you, the manager and team, for making this transition so smooth and for creating a nurturing home that truly feels like a haven.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.938)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.938) out of 10 for Waterside House Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.938 for Waterside House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (106 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 113 Ratings = 4.938
  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 Waterside House Nursing Home is based on 10 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 49 registered maximum number of service users is 9.8, which has been reached with 10 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.
