Review from Stewart S (Son of Resident) published on 26 June 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My parents moved into the Winton Suites in early May and after one month the change in them has been remarkable.
My dad has Alzheimers (12/13 years) and my mum has Parkinsons (2/3 years). Our issue wasn't the level of care but the consistency of the care and the interest shown in them, wasn't of a
hugely high standard, unfortunately.
My mum and dad were spiralling, getting dad out of bed was a struggle, getting him into the shower even more difficult. And mum was just becoming more and more withdrawn


Since moving into the Winton Suites - they both have their sparkle back, of course it doesn't take away their respective illnesses - but the care in the Winton Suite, has been outstanding. Simple things, knowing their names, having a bit of football banter with my dad - time to chat with my mum and daily activities - that give them something to talk about, when we go in of an evening.
It is hugely, hugely reassuring to us as a family - that they are in good hands.
Thanks
Stewart

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It is a huge decision to move/be moved into a care home and I can honestly say that I have no doubt my mother in is the best place possible. My mother has needed medical help on a few occasions since her admission and each time has been dealt with quickly, professionally and with great compassion.
I
cannot praise Winton Suites enough. The staff are second to none- the amazing Management Team, the Front of House Staff, the Nursing and care team, hospitality and cleaning and laundry staff. Every single one goes out of their way to make my mum and any visitors she has to feel as if nothing is too much trouble. I am in the privileged position that there are days I am told not to come in as they have such a fantastic activity schedule!
My mum is thriving and its thanks to her being here,
Reply from Greg Leat, Front of House Manager at Winton Suites by NorthcareDear Alison,

Review from M M (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 June 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The facilities are outstanding but are equally matched by the care, compassion, respect and genuine interest shown by the experts taking care of residents. While our experience is only over a short period the expectations set when initially reviewing this home as a potential for my parents has been
evidenced from day 1. Being well settled works two ways not only in surroundings they were able to make their own but in the people interactions while doing so. Regular contact is maintained with family to ensure accurate and timely information is available. Nothing is too much trouble and we are as a family feeling our parents are safe and well looked after at all times. Long may this continue.
Reply from Greg Leat, Front of House Manager at Winton Suites by NorthcareDear Margaret,

Review from Geoff L (Nephew of Resident) published on 15 June 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Excellent respite care provided to my aunt by the staff at Winton Suites. Full nursing assessment on admission and nurses took control of my aunt's medication. Nursing staff always happy to provide us with an update on my aunt's progress. Impressed with the professional care provided to my aunt, delivered
with warmth and patience during her 4 week stay. Facilities are second to none, more like a hotel. Feedback from my aunt was that the TV in her room had a fabulous picture but the remote control was a challenge. My aunt found the bed to be very comfortable and improved the quality of her sleep. Food was beautifully presented but portions were a bit too generous. Coffees and teas during the day (with freshly baked treats) were much appreciated! The Care Home Manager was very approachable and particulary helpful with the admission process, which had to be arranged at short notice.
Reply from Greg Leat, Front of House Manager at Winton Suites by NorthcareGood afternoon Geoff,
Thank you for taking the time to share your wonderful feedback.
We are delighted to hear that your aunt enjoyed her respite stay and that you were impressed with the care provided by our team. It is particularly pleasing to know that the nursing assessment, medication management and regular updates gave you reassurance throughout her stay.
Your kind comments about our staff's professionalism, warmth and patience will mean a great deal to the team. We are also pleased that your aunt found her room comfortable, enjoyed improved sleep and appreciated our facilities and refreshments.
Thank you for your feedback regarding the TV remote control and portion sizes, which we will take on board. We are also pleased that our Home Manager was able to support you with the admission process at short notice.
It was a privilege to care for your aunt, and we wish her all the very best.
Warmest regards,
Greg

Current Review Score: 9.0 (8.963)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (8.963) out of 10 for Winton Suites by Northcare is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 5 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 5.000 for Winton Suites by Northcare is calculated as follows: ( (57 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 57 Ratings = 5
  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 3.963 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Winton Suites by Northcare is based on 5 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 = 3.5
    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 54 registered maximum number of service users is 10.8. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.8 = 0.463
  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.
