I have been impressed with everything here since the day I walked in the door! Staff are friendly and caring. Always polite and respectful. Cleanliness is top marks. This home does not have the smells associated with other care homes I have visited.
Cannot fault anything, top marks all round!

Wild Acres has been a blessing for us as a family as I was concerned when I knew my wife had to go into residential care. Throughout the process the staff were caring and respectful, easy to talk to and welcoming. My wife has been living there for 3 months now and they help her in a way that at 85 I
am no longer able to. The team there, along with the caring and professional manageress, mean that I am reassured that my wife is in capable hands throughout her stay there. I would highly recommend Wild Acres and the team who work there.

The care my father in law received during his time at Wild Acres was exceptional. We were all treated like family and it made a difficult few weeks so much easier. We can't thank them enough and I would recommend them to everyone.

My dad was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer and, as he became less able, made the decision to move to Wild Acres. As soon as he arrived he felt safe and comfortable and the outstanding care from all staff enabled us all to spend his remaining time together without worry. I can't thank the team enough
for everything they did, going above and beyond at every possible opportunity.

Choosing a home for Mum was an incredibly difficult choice but I'm delighted we chose Wild Acres. The staff are incredibly kind, patient and helpful, and ensure my mum gets the care she deserves. As well as providing Mum's care needs, they also build a great bond and relationship with the guests which
makes it feel like a large family home rather than a care home.

Reply from Andrina Fry, Manager at Wild Acres

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. At Wild Acres we continue to strive to ensure that the care we deliver is the main focus for all who live at Wild Acres and ensure that it is person centred and is tailored to each individual. Thank you so much for taking the time to review us.

With my wife now a resident for five months, it is very apparent that she has settled in very well indeed. She eats well, takes her medicines and participates generally very well in group activities. The term 'care' is very much the ethos that makes Wild Acres a desired new home and can recommend it
to others.

My mother-in-law has been a resident in Wild Acres since January 2023. She has received exemplary care and attention since she moved here. A lovely quote she made when she first moved in: 'I never wanted to move to a home but this home is my home and I love it.' Thank you staff, this has really made
her life happy.

He attended the summer BBQ held for residents and family. It was a great experience and we were made to feel very welcome. The food and drink was to an excellent standard as was the singer who sung everyone's favourites. Unfortunately because of the weather he couldn't experience the wonderful garden
and patio area very much.

Dad continues to thrive at Wild Acres. Despite his cognitive issues, his health is in good order and he is well looked after. The care, dedication and professionalism of staff ensures his needs are met. We're so happy as a family that Dad is settled, feels at home and is part of the Wild Acres family.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.807)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.807) out of 10 for Wild Acres 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 59 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 59 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 4.807 for Wild Acres is calculated as follows: ( (576 Excellents x 5) + (118 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 703 Ratings = 4.807

  • 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 Wild Acres is based on 59 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 26 registered maximum number of service users is 5.2, which has been reached with 59 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.
