My husband can only remember walking into the dining room and being greeted by a very friendly man who welcomed him and suggested sharing a table with him, he enjoyed the conversation. He seems to have been happy there and is willing to go again for a week. I have found the staff very friendly and helpful
and the atmosphere in the home is happy and caring. A friend who drove us to Munhaven the first time my husband stayed there commented on the loving care with which the residents were treated, she wished her husband had been there.

My brother is so happy to be here in Munhaven. He feels safe here which is what he needs. The staff and food is excellent. He would disappear if he had to be moved to another home. I am delighted with the whole situation, knowing my brother is contented and happy once more.

My mother was put into Munhaven on a tempory basis after an operation. This has now become permanent due to her vascular dementia.
We looked at numerous care homes and none came up to Munhaven standards. All of the staff are always happy and make the residents feel at home, they just can't do enough
for them. I turn up at various times and is always made welcome. On arrival, the home always smells clean and fresh.
You can have a coffee and stay for lunch if you wish, and I must say the food is superb such a choice. Well done Chef.
There is always something going on for the residence, it can be music on the keyboard or piano, dancing, games, painting. The list goes on.
There is a lovely garden that is totally secure. The care and support my mother receives is second to none, absolutely superb, and all the staff and management are very approachable and will help you out with any queries that you may have.
I feel very lucky to have found a place where my mother is very happy and well looked after.
Thank you everyone.

My grandfather moved to Munhaven in October 2015 and I can honestly say it's been the best move for him. The staff are truly amazing, kind, loving and attentive to his individual needs, showing him the utmost respect.
Munhaven has an outstanding homely atmosphere, is extremely clean and there is always
a friendly welcome to all who visit. I simply cannot thank all concerned for the care they have shown my grandfather. It is the happiest I have known him for years.
A massive thank you to the cook, who's food is produced with love and thought. Delicious!!

My husband and I spent the say with our friend yesterday and a most enjoyable day we had. It was so nice to see such a clean and pleasant place to visit. The management and staff there were a pleasure to spend time with and were so caring not only to the residents but equally to the visitors too. We
have been many times and each time is as good as the last. The food was excellent as was the company. The icing on the cake was the local MPs frequent visits. All in all a brilliant day.

I am so pleased my husband is now living at Munhaven. They are very good with him and he is happy and content most of the time. The staff are gentle are considerate, they have my vote of thanks. The food, like a 5 star hotel, the cook is very organised, all her team know what they can and cannot do,
although the cook is qualified to cook, she cooks with her heart and enjoys presenting those lovely dishes, all with excellent results, not just in appearance but also in flavour. May it all continue. Happy Christmas Munhaven.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.834)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.834) out of 10 for Munhaven 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.834 for Munhaven is calculated as follows: ( (266 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 308 Ratings = 4.834

  • 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 Munhaven is based on 25 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 20 registered maximum number of service users is 4, which has been reached with 25 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.
