Thank you for your review, we take any concerns about the home very seriously. We exceed the requirements of staff within the home, staff go above and beyond to ensure all residents' needs are met. Unfortunately, we have had some mechanical issues with our lift, however, all residents had access to equipment so they were not isolated, and staff were accommodating to residents who chose to use it. As a company, we identified this and sourced a new company to maintain our lifts. We've had occasions where the lift has stopped working mainly due to user error, and the new company has fixed this within 24 hours. Staff have continued to ensure residents are safe and have access to every area of the home. All residents have access to our WIFI for their devices, we are always happy to share this with visitors when they ask. I am always available to talk to, even if I am on A/L or training, the staff will always make sure a message reaches me to call back. We hope you are satisfied with the changes made.

Thank you for your kind words, we aim to make Colne House a home from home. The staff work hard to make sure they know every new resident before they arrive, by writing person centred care plans with the help of the family, enables us to know not just the general things but the little things that make a difference to each individuals day. Mum is a tonic at Colne House and enjoys taking part in many activities.

Thank you for your review, we have spoken about how we can improve and established the food and drink, manager and value for money should have been a 5 star and this was an error. We really appreciate your wonderful feedback, all residents enjoy your visit, you always make time to chat with others. Mum is loved by all members of staff and is a real character within the home.

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.856) out of 10 for Colne House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 55 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 55 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.856 for Colne House is calculated as follows: ( (566 Excellents x 5) + (68 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 645 Ratings = 4.856
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 Colne House is based on 55 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 38 registered maximum number of service users is 7.6, which has been reached with 55 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.

Job Title: Home Manager
Joined: 2015
I had done domiciliary care earlier in my career and enjoyed it but was frustrated at not being able to spend enough time with the people I was caring for. After a decade managing a children’s nursery in Germany she returned to the UK and was attracted to working at Colne House because of the beautiful building and grounds
Job Title: Hospitality Manager
I have worked at Colne House for over 10 years as a support worker & cover senior, and have now taken the role of hospitality, I am looking forward to working with Victoria to achieve an outstanding rating. Colne House is a special place to work, the staff are very dedicated to their work and the residents love the family atmosphere. I enjoy socialising with my partner and friends on my days off, and volunteering at Colne for special events or taking residents on trips.
Job Title: Administrator
I worked in the motor industry before I joined the team at Colne House as Administrator three years ago and I really enjoy having the connection with all the families, staff and residents. The staff and residents are amazing and I am proud to be part of this beautiful home. Living in the countryside is lovely, outside of work, I enjoy socialising and walking my sausage dogs at local parks. I always enjoy helping organise and volunteering at the events for the home.
