I live in Australia and my mother is a resident at Mundy House. My mother is 79 and has Parkinson’s disease. Since living at Mundy House my mother’s happiness has improved incredibly; he tells me so and I can hear it in her voice. Each time I telephone the home, the staff go out of the way to ensure
my mother is comfortable and undisturbed so we can chat freely. My mother came to MH from a difficult home situation and the care home has been, and continues to be, good for her. My mother arrived at MH on a temporary basis but has made the decision to stay for the long term; a testimony to how positive she feels about the home considering her condition. I have full confidence in the staff and facilities of Mundy House and would happily recommend this care home.

I first visited Mundy House several years ago, this lady I visited died. By then some of the residents used to look forward to me going around, talking to them and sharing some jelly babies because the soft sweets weren't such a risk as other sweets so regards to them being able to swallow them in safety
and everybody seems to like them. I visit every other Tuesday.
Now I would like to point out how wonderful the staff, the care and compassion is. Also respect and patience they show towards the residents, especially when sometimes dealing with a distressed person, likewise the residents seem to be in very good and caring hands and very happy and content!

Mundy House provided a warm and welcoming environment, the rooms are relatively well appointed serving all my mothers basic needs, and encouraged her to bring in her own possessions to personalise her own space. The food is nutritious and every effort is made to cater to individuals with special dietary
needs. i.e providing regular snacks and drinks if any of the residents cannot eat a full meal or leave their room. The protocol regarding safeguarding is excellent, when my mother was unable to eave her room for many months; regular checks were made to ensure her wellbeing and safety. The staff did their best to support her during this time both practically and emotionally to try and keep her spirits up. The carers and the manager were caring and professional providing my mum with the best of both worlds, excellent professional care and at the same time providing her with the warmth of personal interaction. The manager was really caring and professional, trying to accommodate all of my mothers needs where possible and always interacting with her when he was on duty and taking a personal interest in her welfare. All the staff at the home were absolutely fantastic during my mothers last few days before she passed away, always ensuring that she was never left alone and providing emotional support me and my family. I could not have managed without them and I am eternally grateful.

It was my grandmothers birthday and Mundy House made a special effort to give her a lovely day. They did a birthday party for her with flowers, a cake, a teddy and plenty of food with tea and coffee for her and guests. The staff were helpful and made us all feel very welcome. They did an amazing job
to make her day very special.

My Wife and I regularly visit her Mother in Mundy House (at least weekly, on different days). Her other Daughter visits regularly on a Sunday.
We have always found the Staff and Carers very helpful and kind to all of the residents. My Mother-in-Law is extremely happy and has drastically improved her
personal attitude to life since she has been in Mundy House.
She likes all of the Staff and has made friends with the other residents.

Reply from Josi George, Home Manager at Mundy House Care Home

My father's health has actually improved considerably since becoming a resident at Mundy House.
It is a massive relief for the family knowing he is in such good hands.
Regular good food from number 5 rated kitchen from the hygiene standards agency is all part of the experience my father enjoys. Rooms
are adequate and staff very friendly...


Keep up the good work,
Thank you Mundy house.

Since Mum has been a resident in Mundy House, she has had the best care that we could hope for. The manager is always very helpful if we have any queries regarding Mum. The staff are very caring also.

My Father has been a resident of Mundy House for a little over a year now and I have to say that everyone involved with the running of this home has the best interests of the residents at heart.
My Father suffers with dementia as well as a number of other illnesses and the core staffs assigned to look
after him on a daily basis are first class caring individuals who will go out of their way to make him feel comfortable and more importantly comforted when he feels confused.
All involved in the running of Mundy House face challenges every day with so many different types of care required for their residents, but my experience of the way they handle themselves whilst working with very limited budgets is extremely pleasing. I am so glad that my Father is part of this lovely little home.

Reply from Josi George, Home Manager at Mundy House Care Home

Thank you Rob for sharing your review with us. At Mundy House, we aim to ensure that our residents are cared for with the utmost kindness through employing a team of friendly, attentive and sympathetic staff and we are glad your father feels so comfortable.

I attend the home on a weekly basis and find the staff to be attentive and caring. The home is very clean and all residents are treated with dignity and care. Should the need arise I would seriously consider recommending/using the centre to friends and close family.

My Parents went in there in Oct 13 and my Mum passed in Feb 14 my Dad is still in there. I have found the home mindful of the needs of my Dad and when things need to happen for him they do. I only have to mention it once to the staff and it's sorted, it's a great weight off of my mind. He is now 89.
There have been management changes since he went in and the now Manager is a kind and caring person who is not averse to assisting with the care . They have commenced a programme of repairs and changes to the home which have improved the fabric of the building and interior, but it's really down to the staff - I have nothing but praise for them, they work tirelessly to give my Dad a good rest of life for him, the care shown when my Mother passed was second to none. They have an amazing entertainment woman who sorts out the activities. Dad loves the food and Mum thought it was a hotel when she first went in there. I would recommend giving this one a look if you need a caring home for your relative.

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.
