My mum is receiving a very thoughtful, kind and conscientious level of care at her Forget Me Not Home. She is active in the various activities taking place (I receive short messages via social media to show this). The staff are patient and informative (where I am concerned) and I could not be more satisfied
with my mum's residency in the circumstances.

Forget me not is an excellent care home that actually feels like a home. From the moment my nan joined I am certain she has been happy, and well looked after, and all her needs met. All of the staff are friendly and supportive and always make sure my nan is smiling. They provide events for residents
and families to attend which is a fantastic opportunity for everyone to make memories together. Overall I would highly recommend them!

Short stay for respite only, therefore nursing care although available is not substantial. Training was necessary. The staff are very pleasant and do accommodate every situation as needed.

My dad has been a resident for two and a half years at Forget me not. It is a small home, and the care is of a very high standard. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and "go above and beyond" in the care of my dad. Nothing is ever too much trouble for them. Management is responsive and deals
quickly with any issues. I feel that my dad is safe at Forget me not, and I can go home after visiting knowing he is well looked after. Dad frequently tells me how good the staff are.

Watching a loved one needing more care than you can personally provide is a daunting and difficult task. However, from the moment I spoke to and visited Forget Me Not, I felt so reassured and had great peace of mind. I knew that my father would be extremely cared for in this homely and welcoming environment.
A home from home feel with family at its heart.

We are delighted that our staff have been able to assist you in choosing a suitable home for your father. We are also glad that you have recognised the home from home family atmosphere we strive for. We look forward to working with you in making your father's stay a comfortable and happy one.

This is the most amazing care home! My wife is being wonderfully cared for and although only two weeks in she has settled really well. Her care has been personalised and the staff are respectful of all her needs. The food is excellent and I can only praise the management and staff for their kind, loving
attitude, compassionate care and the high standards they continue to maintain in these unprecedented times. My wife is safe, happy and well looked after and I could not ask for more.

My aunt had led a full and active life, living on her own at 90-years of age was accepted into Forget me not care home needing care and support after having major surgery, also her mental state was affected due to constant infections.
My wife and I were concerned on how she would cope with the integration
into care home life.
What started off as a temporary move has been three years of total happiness as she put it.
“I am surrounded by love and happiness “.
The management and staff teams have all been trained to an exceptional standard giving their love, support and care totally, always happy in their work ethic.
For Forget me no, Covid has brought with it lots of problems to deal with, and they have dealt with it fantastically, with no residents or staff catching it so far - safety is paramount. Testing for Covid is constantly being updated, if visiting protocols change, access to my aunt via the communication platform Skype has been a tremendous worry free bonus.

A really hard decision for my fiercely independent father to move into residential care, yet with kindness, understanding and lots of jokes made the transition as easy as possible whilst giving him the space to adjust and retaining his dignity. Staff really mindful of the impact on the wider family
and great in supporting some tough conversations such as the surrendering of car keys! Although dad was only there for about 4-months, we experienced a huge range of skills and care from simple residential needs through to full nursing with special care and arrangements put in place to help the family say goodbye in tough COVID restricted times, and ease dad's passing ensuring absolutely no pain and dignity to the end. Thank you - your kindness will not be forgotten.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.900)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.900) out of 10 for Forget me not Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.400 for Forget me not Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (29 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.4

  • 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 4.5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Forget me not Residential Home 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:

    • 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 = 3.5

    • 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 16 registered maximum number of service users is 3.2, which has been reached with 5 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.
