Really pleased with the care and support the staff have given my Nan and the reassurance our family have received since she moved in just a few weeks ago.
We couldn't be happier with how she has settled.
Thank You.

Having never had a relative in a care home before I didn't know what to expect on my first visit to see my nan. I was pleasantly surprised by how friendly and helpful all the staff were and how clean and tidy the home was. My nan seems very happy here and it was wonderful to see her smiling and laughing
again.

After my Grandad passed away, we had to make the hard decision to move my Nan who has Alzheimer's into Mundy house. We were worried how she would take to the move, but she has settled in nicely and seems a lot calmer. The food and entertainment are excellent. I would like to thank the amazing staff
for the care they give her and making sure she is relaxed and happy! It is definitely a weight off of our family's minds to know that she is being cared for so well.

My mother had been a resident in Munday House for one year. She died on 2nd February 2017. We live in Durham so had to rely on a lot of phone calls and emails, But all members of staff have been excellent in regards getting mam to the phone, putting her music on for her. The attitude from all the staff
members has been marvellous.

Lovely to see such good interaction between not only the carers and patients, but amongst staff themselves, and the way they treat the friends and family too. Everyone was friendly and there is a genuine, community feeling which wouldn't be instilled in the care home if it wasn't for the carers. It
is reassuring to know that our loved ones are being looked after with quality care given to them physically and emotionally and that their private rooms are well facilitated and made as homely as possible whilst the communal rooms are a relaxed, comfortable environment.

Mundy House Care Centre has lived up to my expectations and more. I'd never, until now, been inside a care home and have been pleasantly surprised by the friendly and caring staff and the homely feel of Munday House. We were dreading putting my mother in law in there but now wish we had done it sooner.
She is so settled, is enjoying the activities, has a lovely room which is a mini version of the house she left behind and we have seen a more happy and humorous side to her in the last month! We can only put this down to seeing different people every day, being in a routine and the staff's efforts in making her feel comfortable. Thanks everyone at Munday House you are doing a wonderful job.

My mother, whom is old, has settled in nicely in the home. She is basically happy with the help given in all matters as she is unable to do most things without assistance. She is, however, able to walk to the toilet with use of a frame provided, closely followed by a carer. She is also able to feed
herself. Her main event of the day is lunch and looks forward to it. As she is an insomniac mostly and only needs 4-5 hour's sleep, the night staff would need to be very watchful, as she hated the dark and having no company. The management are very friendly and helpful and will try to do all that is possible.

My sister was placed in the home suffering from dementia and diabetes. Having lived alone for most of her life, she found it difficult to adjust to being with lots of people, but the staff were very patient and used to take her for walks most days to calm her. She got to know the staff really well and
they used to make a fuss of her. Towards the end of her life, when we visited, there was always two staff members in the room with her. The care and attention she received was excellent and you should be both pleased and proud of your staff.

Thank you, Peter for your kind words. Thank you for all staff at Mundy House for the right care they provided to our residents.

My mum is 92 and has dementia and living on her own has caused her health to massively decline. She was taken to hospital as she had become very ill and after various assessments, they advised she needed full-time care. She was accepted by Mundy House but my mum was very distressed and confused, she
couldn't understand why she was there. The staff were excellent, they made her feel very welcome and knew just to how to make her feel safe and calm. She has been there just over a month now, her health has improved and the staff continue to reassure her and make her smile.

Thank you Susan. Mundy House team is happy to care for your Mother and make her smile everyday.

My mum has been on respite care a couple of times she has now become a resident. She has settled in very well and is more relaxed than I have seen her in years. She is always clean and happy. Dad is also a resident he was admitted a couple of weeks ago, he has found it more difficult to settle. The
managers and staff have been extremely supportive in helping with this transition. The care from the staff is wonderful they are all angels. At least my parents remain together I know they are safe and secure and well cared for, they will bever be lonely. Thank you.

I would like to say how well my mother was looked after in Mundy House Care Centre. I am very impressed with the general attitude of the staff. They are always very cheerful, very caring and always willing to help. The food and entertainment are also excellent. I wish my mother had been sent to Mundy
House Care Centre sooner. The general decor could probably so with some improvement but overall Mundy House Care Centre is excellent and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

I went into 'Mundy House Care Centre' following an operation whilst my family put a care package in place to enable me to return home. Many dementia patients and the staff, carers, domestic and catering staff were very patient and helpful knowing us all by name. Although there was the overbearing smell
of urine, the cleanliness seemed good. The food seemed to be dependent on the chef/cook on duty that day with one providing home cooked meals including cakes and fresh sandwiches and the small desserts were very poor with little choice and quantity. This seemed to be at the weekend when staff were "thin on the ground" and the tables had not been cleaned after lunch. Overall, for me, the boredom was very difficult and I left for those reasons. In the rooms, one had to ask inmates who did not suffer from dementia for water.

My dear mum moved into Mundy House in April 2015. She suffers from dementia and throughout her stay has received the best care I could wish for. My father is able to spend all day with her, which is a great comfort to both of them and all staff have been very kind to him at all times even arranging
a party for his birthday, which was beyond the call of duty! I would like to give special thanks to the management and senior staff, including the entertainment team who are all so kind and dedicated and kitchen staff who always make a special effort when mum's appetite is so poor. Huge thanks to all at Mundy House!

My wife has been a resident since March 2015. She suffers form advanced dementia. Her physical condition has improved immensely in this time due to excellent care. I visit every day, her room is very good, clean, and comfortable.
My wife has always been a very independent and modest person, the caring
staff help with this in every possible way. There is a lovely garden and good entertainment provided, my daughter and I take her out regularly, weather permitting, and I feel she is on the whole, happy with the situation.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.926)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.926) out of 10 for Mundy House Care Home 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 41 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 41 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 4.926 for Mundy House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (457 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 489 Ratings = 4.926

  • 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 Mundy House Care Home is based on 41 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 41 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.
