My Grandmother was a resident of Hendford for six years and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. She came to consider the staff as her friends and they really couldn't have been kinder to her particularly in the last weeks of her life. The compassion shown at Hendford to family and residents is wonderful,
and it is nice to know that all the staff, from the people in the office to the carers, nurses and cleaners, know and respect all the residents individually. Nothing was ever too much trouble and as a family living a distance from Hendford, we felt that our relative was in very safe hands in our unfortunate absence. My grandmother was bed bound so could not engage with other residents but the staff ensured that she was never left out. We are very grateful for the care given and would recommend Hendford wholeheartedly.

My husband's aunt was in this home for about 7 years. Right from day 1 the staff were very friendly to my husband and I and went out of their way to meet our needs and wishes. Throughout her stay, they treated my husband's aunt with respect and were very caring and sensitive towards her needs. Her behaviour
could be challenging at times but all staff were patient and cleaned up any mess willingly. We would have no problem recommending this care home. We were more than happy with the service we received.

My father was at Hendford for 2 months. He was treated with care and dignity the entire time, even when he was so ill he was unresponsive. Everyone, from the nurses to domestic and kitchen staff were kind to him, referring to him by name when they went into his room, even if he didn't reply. The staff
were also extremely kind to me, my family and my brother when we visited. They made us welcome and explained what was happening with his treatment etc. The home also had music (live and recorded) and one of the carers gave my father aromatherapy hand massages and sang with him. I can't speak highly enough of the care my father received.

My Mother had dementia and was a resident at Hendford House for over a year until she passed away in February 2016. Hendford always had a homely atmosphere and I visited Mum every other day at any time that was convenient to me and the staff were always welcoming and helpful. Mum could be challenging
at times and the staff were always patient, kind and understanding. Always nicely and thoughtfully dressed, clean and comfortable she was as settled as she could be and enjoyed the companionship and humour with all staff members. The environment was clean and tidy and never smelt unpleasant. The meals, particularly dinners were traditional, home cooked and nutritious. During her final days the staff were exceptional in making her comfortable and supporting me. I will never forget their kindness and have very fond memories of my regular visits.

I visit my friend every week. She is always happy and contented. The staff are always kind and professional. They are willing to do anything. Nothing is too much trouble. There is a very homely atmosphere. The only negative, the rooms are small.

Hendford Nursing Home is a happy home and all staff are always friendly. Although mum only speaks Cantonese staff are able to communicate with her by hand gestures, pictures, cards etc. and able to meet her needs.. it requires lots of patience and a caring attitude. Mum is happy at Hendford Nursing
Home. Mum is 99 years old and I am glad to find Hendford Nursing Home as mums second home. I am always able to visit mum at any time and takes mum out on her food days which I am truly grateful!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.828)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.828) out of 10 for Hendford Nursing Home 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.828 for Hendford Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (102 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 122 Ratings = 4.828

  • 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 Hendford Nursing Home is based on 11 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 34 registered maximum number of service users is 6.8, which has been reached with 11 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.
