Kettlewell House is clean with no nasty smell. The staff are very pleasant to the visitors and are very caring to the residents.
There seems to be entertainment of music frequently. There are also outside events in the garden during the summer.
The residents appear to be relatively content. I cannot
comment on food and drink, though it seems good, or value for money.

I have been coming for about four years to see my wife.
Initially, I came every day and fed her. For the past three years, I have been coming weekly as I had a stroke. I have always been impressed by the lead of care from everyone for the manager, the carers, the cooks and the cleaners. Since I had
the stroke I have been provided with a meal for which I am very grateful.

Generally, there is a caring and welcoming atmosphere. Staff know about resident's situation and are helpful when asked about his health, wellbeing, needs etc.
Care plans and daily reports on the website are very useful. Symptoms eg infections are recognised quickly and acted on promptly. Management
are responsive to questions and requests. Ad-hoc communication is good and the meetings for relatives are informative.
While some activities are difficult for resident to participate in due to communication problems, he has benefitted from several eg outing to Wisley, animal visits, PAT dogs, hand massage, Christmas morning festivities. Visits from healthcare professionals are appreciated. The resident is treated as an individual and given choices where possible. He is settled in the home, likes the carers and often looks happy and smiley.

Overall very good. Every effort was made to help my wife settle in.
Everybody was very kind to her and she and I were made to feel welcome and to get involved as far as she was able.
Activities and entertainment were excellent in general. The organiser was very good and welcoming. The bedroom is satisfactory
although the ensuite is narrow making it difficult to assist with the toilet.
I have limited experience of the food but my wife seems satisfied.
Overall, management was excellent and everything possible has done to make her feel welcome.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.811)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.811) out of 10 for Kettlewell House Care 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.811 for Kettlewell House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (216 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 259 Ratings = 4.811

  • 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 Kettlewell House Care Home is based on 22 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 37 registered maximum number of service users is 7.4, which has been reached with 22 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.

Ana Mira

Job Title: Acting Deputy Home Manager

Joined: 2019

Ana joined the Kettlewell House team in June 2019, embarking on a 3-month induction as a newly qualified nurse in the UK after training in Spain. Her initial experience at Kettlewell House left a lasting impression, fostering a sense of belonging and professional fulfilment.


After spending four years gaining experience in other homes, Ana's deep connection to the Kettlewell House team and its unique atmosphere drew her back, solidifying her decision to return to what she describes as her 'family'.


Ana's passion for the care and well-being of older adults has been a driving force since her university days, guiding her career exclusively within care homes. This dedication has made her exceptionally skilled in her field, understanding the nuances and specific needs of elderly care. Ana considers herself an expert in this area, a testament to her commitment and extensive experience.


The environment at Kettlewell House Nursing Home, known for its dedication to compassionate and holistic care, resonates deeply with Ana's personal and professional values. The camaraderie among colleagues and the meaningful relationships built with residents, their families, and friends enrich her work life, making every day rewarding.


Ana's belief in the importance of holistic care aligns perfectly with the ethos of Aurem Care, making her an invaluable member of the Kettlewell House team. Her role not only involves overseeing the day-to-day care activities but also embodying the values of dedication, compassion, and family-like support that define our home.


At Kettlewell House, Ana's contributions go beyond her clinical expertise; she plays a crucial role in maintaining the warm, inclusive, and caring environment that our residents and their families cherish. Her journey from a newly qualified nurse to Acting Deputy Home Manager is a reflection of her growth, dedication, and the positive impact she continues to have on our community.
