Cranmer House is a Gem! All the staff are well trained as well as very caring. Nothing proved too much trouble 24/7. My Father is very ill and has received the best care available during his 5 weeks stay. Thank you all so much.

This was the first experience of putting my husband into respite care, he was well cared for, in the week he was there and seemed quite happy when he arrived home.

I visited and came to see my brother who has been in this care home before and I always find the overall care home excellent. Friendly staff who are always happy to help in any way possible, Cranmere House is a credit to the local authority and its patients.

I arrived here by ambulance from the hospital late evening 1 week ago, tired and very confused I was shown to my lovely, clean and airy room. They helped me get to bed having explained about my controlled drugs. Slept most of the next day. Then did more walking and went to the dining room etc the next
day. I cannot praise all the people who work here enough. At all times they were polite, helpful and supportive. After 1 week I have recovered enough to go home and slowly pick up my life again.

Thank you for this lovely review, we're so pleased to have been able to help you with your rehabilitation.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.770)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.770) out of 10 for Cranmer House 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.770 for Cranmer House is calculated as follows: ( (120 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 152 Ratings = 4.77

  • 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 Cranmer House is based on 13 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 36 registered maximum number of service users is 7.2, which has been reached with 13 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.

Kirsty Sleightholme

Job Title: Registered Manager

Joined: 2004

I have worked in the care sector for many years, initially completing my nurse training at the West Suffolk Hospital. I have worked both within hospital and care home settings, each bringing their own experiences. My passion purely and simply is people, particularly giving support to those needing it most and when experiencing real difficulty in their lives.


I have worked at Cranmer House for over 20 years and feel very proud of the whole team’s achievements and our reputation within the local community. I very much enjoy being part of an innovative and forward thinking company, whose values we all aspire to.
