As a First Responder and a GP Surgery Manager, I have been to many care homes. I am most impressed with the standards of excellence by all at Mundy House. A most welcoming feeling, clean, caring and very well-run facility. It is run like a family home, care for residents is second to none. It is a pleasure
visiting the home where my mother is a resident. Peace of mind for my wife and I as we know she is safe and well looked after. I feel completely at ease that she is cared for by Mundy House. They also make the families of the residents feel part of their community. Keep up the good work to all of the staff - from the top to the bottom. Well Done.

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

Thank you Bob for a heart-touching review on us, we will continue our care for all of our residents and as I always say and you said, we are a family.

My nan came to the home around a month ago. She was very anxious and unsettled to be moving into a home but the staff at Mundy House have worked tirelessly to reassure her and ensure she is as happy as she can be. In particular, three members of staff have been outstanding, they have shown Nan patience,
respect and kindness in making her feel welcome and included each and every day. Nan is much happier there now and enjoys the entertainment - especially when there is a singer. The carers are all so friendly and make us as visitors feel welcome. Also, we love the social media page where photos and videos are uploaded of the activities that the residents get involved in!

My mother became a resident at Mundy House as her dementia increased in Jan 2023. I visit often and all the staff are amazing, led by a great management team. Once I arrive at the home, I am free to visit my mum's room and get an update from any of the staff who all know who my mum is and that I am
her son. No request is too much trouble, from the endless teas and biscuits to an update on her well-being and activities. The quality of service my mum receives cannot be faulted and gives me immense peace of mind that she could not be in a better, safer and more caring care home. Great updates on social media as well.
Thank you to the management and the whole team.

My mum has been a resident in Mundy House for 3 years this year- after suffering memory problems, I was unable to fully give her the care she needed 24/7 and I really wouldn't want my mum anywhere else. The care has been exceptional, and the manager's door is always open for any concerns you may have.
My
mum looks upon Mundy House as her home now. Thanks to all the staff who help care for my mum. The food is really good, I assist my mum daily with her meals, which you always have a choice and always look very nutritious plus she still has her fish and chip Friday.

We have found this to be a truly amazing home for our very dear old family friend. Wasn't sure upon first arrival seeing a 1960s utilitarian building but once inside, wow, what a surprise! Laughter, singing, and clapping, the lounge full of residents together with friendly, happy and caring staff all
enjoying their day together. No institutional smells, no gloomy or discontented staff, just a joyous atmosphere every single week when we visit. Always different events going on for everyone who wishes, to join in but anyone who wants a little quiet time out, are encouraged to do just that with conscientious staff members checking in with them every so often to ensure their well-being is being met. Truly an amazing staff group, ably and brilliantly led by the management. Many congratulations and grateful thanks, to every one of you.

As a retired nurse I have worked and visited many care facilities over the years and Mundy House is by far the best I have ever experienced. I'm so glad my aunt is here.
All staff, regardless of their role at Mundy House, are hard working, kind and professional at all times, as visitors we are always
greeted by name.
The meals are delicious and she is really happy and well cared for. There are always activities going on which helps keep her stimulated.
The addition of Dementia education classes has been especially beneficial as it was offered to friends and family and extremely helpful. A service that they didn't have to offer us visitors, but Mundy House always goes the extra mile for its residents friends and family.

My nan was transferred here after safeguarding concerns from her previous care home. Before she came here she was in bed most of the time, not eating too well and we struggled to get a basic conversation from her. She has been in Mundy house for approximately 6 months and she's like a different person
for the better. She's hardly in bed, always smells fresh and clean, she's putting on weight but more than anything we can see our nan returning to how she used to be.
The staff are so lovely, hold lots of activities and events and really do care for all their residents and residents' family. I would 100% recommend.

Da was a bit unsettled when he first arrived at Mundy House. He was made to feel very welcome from the outset. His room was and still is immaculate and he appears to be waited on hand foot. Dad is now very settled and happy. As a family, we are so pleased with Mundy House and all of the staff there.

After a successful respite stay, when the time came that mother-in-law needed a permanent residential place our first choice was Mundy House.
The care and patience of staff supporting her anxiety and dementia needs are excellent.
Where required community services are engaged, community and dementia
nurses, physiotherapy.
The weekly family emails with a personal update reassuring, as is the availability and communication with management.
We love seeing my mother-in-law and other residents enjoying life on social media posts.

Mum has only been at Mundy House for a couple of months. We are so pleased and really appreciate the staff's hard work and dedication. Mum is very well cared for and treated with respect. The staff build a good rapport with their residents. We are kept regularly informed and updated and contacted if

My Mother was staying at Mundy, she had dementia after arriving at the home. Mum's mental health improved and she began to eat again. They really cared for her and for the first time in a long time, I knew she was ok. The staff are all wonderful always have a smile and helpful. The manager gives 110%
and is so professional and caring I cannot say enough!
My Mum sadly died a few weeks ago and I genuinely felt sad she was no longer going to be at Mundy. She smiled every day and she enjoyed all the activities going on around her. I will miss seeing her online! But I will continue to follow Mundy! I will miss her smile a smile that reflected that she had no worries. You could not ask for more!

I've heard good things about Munday House before asking if they would take my auntie in. This place has far exceeded my expectations and I am so pleased my auntie is staying here.
She is so much happier here than in her last place and I and all her family feel this is her home for good. Her room is
lovely and was newly decorated before she went in, overlooking the lovely gardens, it's clean, tidy and the food is nice she said. The manager and staff members are fantastic, always happy, upbeat and friendly and I always see them communicating with the residents and doing activities, games and more. I recommend this place for your loved ones.

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.
