I stayed here for a fortnight and thoroughly enjoyed myself. The food was good, and the staff very helpful. There was also a good range of activities. Would recommend the home to anyone who needed it for a break.

My mum came in for two weeks respite and thoroughly enjoyed her stay.

My mother-in-law has been at Stratton House for four years now and during that entire time, she has received wonderful help and support from the staff to lead a full, interesting and happy life and always treated with dignity and patience, particularly through these difficult Covid times. Food is a
good standard with good choices. The staff are always cheerful and helpful. The home is very, clean and safety and security are a high priority! There is a good range of activities for all abilities, and the home manager is always available to speak to.

Dad moved into Stratton House four days before the lockdown, which has meant no contact since. The staff have been amazing in their care for Dad not only physically but getting to know him as an individual and understanding his needs. The contact with us as a family has been first class and the staff
have worked very hard to help us to see Dad when rules allow. We feel very fortunate we found such a caring home.

As my mother entered at the time of the pandemic, I have not had an opportunity to see her room or the inside of Stratton House properly. However, all the staff seemed to be lovely, very helpful and kind. I think my mother is in a very safe and supportive place.

My mother is in Stratton House, she has lived there for 5 years. As far as I can say she is happy. She is very poor at eating some of the meal but they always offer her things she likes. Mum will be 105 in June. I have been able to visit 4 times in the last year.

Reply from Stephen Hill, Home Manager at Stratton House

Thank you for your recent review. Although your mother is 105 and chooses to spend her time in her room, she is doing amazingly well and seems happy and content. It’s good to read that your Mum is always offered different meals when there are things she does not like. It is pleasing to see that your mother has rated the staff at 5*s and she feels safe and secure. I will ensure that I share your review with the staff where such lovely comments are very much appreciated.

My mother has received excellent care throughout the pandemic. She has been relatively happy and has been able to participate in a whole range of bargaining activities. She enjoys her room, the home, the garden, the excellent food, good care and the company of other residents who are her friends.

My mother has lived at Stratton House for the past, coming up four years. The manager and all staff do an amazing job keeping residents safe and happy, especially considering the unchartered waters we have found ourselves in due to Covid 19 during the past year. My mother was only given a restricted
life expectancy on her transfer from the hospital, and here she is almost four years later! This must be a testament to the care she receives on a daily basis. We are as a family very grateful Mum is still with us at coming 101 years of age!

Reply from Stephen Hill, Home Manager at Stratton House

Thank you for your lovely comments about the staff and what an amazing job that they do. It has been a very unsettling time for everyone, the staff continue to be amazing, and the care they deliver has always maintained a high standard. Your mum is an amazing lady, and we look forward to celebrating her next birthday with her in a couple of months.

My parents are very happy and settled at Stratton House, and the management and staff have been wonderful in accommodating them through changes and enabling them to stay together. The welcoming atmosphere is felt as soon as you walk through the door, the staff are so caring and understanding and the
surroundings are lovely. The food is a highlight for both my parents, activities are many and varied including gardening, guinea pigs, church services and pastoral support. In normal times, there would be visits out and about. In lockdown, the staff have gone above and beyond to keep all residents safe, and I could not think of a better place for them to be right now.

Reply from Stephen Hill, Home Manager at Stratton House

Thank you so much for your lovely review. It’s always good to read such positive comments about the home, staff and the activities within Stratton House.

Although not the most important thing, the building in which the home is housed is delightful and behind it is a well-tended garden complete with a magnificent potting shed. The residents play a full part in selecting what to grow - flowers and vegetables - and are also involved in the growing process.
The food is very good. I have eaten lunch there myself on several occasions.
The best thing about the home, however, is the staff. They are always very friendly and attentive. I would particularly mention the activities which are laid on for the residents. There is no plonking the residents in front of the tele. Indeed there is no television in the sitting room, which encourages interaction between the residents.

Reply from Stephen Hill, Home Manager at Stratton House

Thank you for your recent review. Your mother is very happy at Stratton House and enjoys all the activities and likes to take part daily. It is always good to read about how kind and attentive our staff are; they do an incredible job, and I’m very lucky to have such a good caring team. I will share your comments with the kitchen staff on how good the food is.
I will share your positive comments with all the staff where I know this will be very welcomed and always maintains morale within the team.

Until I came to Stratton House in March 2020 I had had no previous experience of any care home and was absolutely amazed at the special care and attention I received. Nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff - their only concern being the happiness of residents. I could not rate this care home
more highly if I tried. It was like being one of a big happy family, and I shall be so sad to leave them all.

Very good but I still wish I was able to live on my own to cook my meals and look after a small house, garden and conservatory as I did until 2019.

I am a single man with severe lifelong deafness after a maternity hospital acquired infection as a very young baby. Despite this I had a successful career in engineering. Although now very infirm at 87, I am still in very good mental health. On finding it was becoming physically too difficult for me
to live alone, my doctor and solicitor joined in recommending Stratton House for my future residential care. I have not been disappointed and I am very grateful for their advice.

Reply from Steve Hill, Home Manager at Stratton House

What an incredible job you are all doing in such testing times and what an achievement it is to have kept all your residents and staff safe and sound. Well done!
Every time we ring to talk to Mum, whoever answers the phone manages to sound so upbeat and friendly and it is never to much trouble to take
the phone to her.
When we talk to Mum she is so happy, particularly with the amazing range of activities that you have still managed to provide under such trying circumstances.
It is such a relief, whilst we ourselves are sheltering, to know that Mum is being looked after by such a compassionate and caring team. A very big thank you and clap to all of you tonight.

Reply from Steve Hill, Home Manager at Stratton House

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback about Stratton House and the wonderful staff. It is a difficult time but the staff at the home remain positive and as you say upbeat. Such wonderful feedback from yourself will certainly maintain the high morale that is currently in the home. I will ensure that I share your comments with all the staff where I know it will be greatly appreciated.

Friendly staff, manager available if needed. Activities available, outside space easily accessible, variety of volunteers and variety fo group visits. Better variety of meals access to low-fat semi-skimmed milk etc, more variety of bread not just white/brown perhaps muffins, croissants, seeded bread
and bagels?

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.767)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.767) out of 10 for Stratton 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.767 for Stratton House is calculated as follows: ( (183 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 232 Ratings = 4.767

  • 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 Stratton House is based on 20 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 33 registered maximum number of service users is 6.6, which has been reached with 20 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.
