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.

Thank you for your review of Stratton House. It's pleasing to see you find the staff friendly, the outside space is easily accessible. The residents are involved with menu planning but I will ensure I pass on your thoughts around having more variety of bread and milk to the chef.

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.
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.

Job Title: Home Manager
Joined: 2011
I joined the Stratton House family in 2011 as Deputy Manager before becoming Home Manager in 2016. My career in the care sector began in 2001 when I worked for a charity in Bristol in one of their sheltered housing schemes. I started as a Care Assistant and over the years have held roles as Care Assistant, Senior Care Assistant, Care Coordinator, Deputy Manager and now Manager.
Over the years, I have completed a Level 3 Diploma in Health & Social Care, an Advanced level apprenticeship in Management (In the business skills sector), an EDI Level 3 NVQ certificate in Management and I am about to start a Level 5 Diploma in Health & Social Care. In 2023, I was awarded MHA’s Leader of the Year Award and we won MHA's Team of the Year in 2024.
I love working at Stratton House and supporting the individuals we care for to live later life well together and treat each other as family.
Job Title: Deputy Home Manager
Joined: 2017
I began my journey at Stratton House in 2017 as a Night Care Assistant and took the opportunity to develop my skills and knowledge by completing both the NVQ Level 2 in Health and Social Care and Apprenticeship Level 3 Health and Social Care Adult Lead. I was then promoted to Senior Care Assistant for two years before taking the role of Deputy Manager in 2022.
It really is an honour to be part of the Stratton House Team. Our values of Nurture, Respect and Inspire are demonstrated on a daily basis by our amazing team.
Job Title: Senior Care Assistant
Joined: 2020
I am one of the Senior Care Team at Stratton House and started working at Stratton House in 2020 as a Night Care Assistant working my way to my current role. Prior to this, I worked for two years as a care assistant in-home care based in Scotland. During my time at Stratton House, I was given the opportunity to complete a Level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care.
I love the warm, family-like atmosphere at Stratton House. There is a genuine sense of camaraderie amongst residents and staff which makes coming to work really enjoyable!
Job Title: Activities Coordinator
Joined: 2024
Before joining MHA, I worked as an Assistant Wellbeing Co-ordinator for 8 months at another care home for people with dementia and nursing needs.
I went to The European School in Brussels and had a Baccalaureate (similar to A levels), and afterwards, I did a bachelor’s degree (BA) in Media Studies with Languages from the University of East Anglia. My background is in organising events and tours around the world.
I enjoy interacting with the residents at Stratton House the most, and I feel the team at Stratton House is supportive and works well together as a team.
Job Title: Domestic Assistant
Joined: 2017
I joined Stratton House in 2017 as a Domestic and Laundry Assistant and previously worked in other care homes for six years.
I love working at Stratton House because of the incredible team I get to work with and the wonderful appreciating residents we look after. Being part of a brilliant team is what makes my work so fulfilling and rewarding.
Job Title: Maintenance
Joined: 2016
Working at our care home is truly rewarding. The building is a beautiful, listed landmark with stunning grounds that I have the pleasure of looking after as the maintenance person. I love that I can bring my own vision to the garden and handle repairs within, making decisions independently and taking pride in the result.
Being part of Stratton House's history since 2016, and serving the community charitably, makes my role even more meaningful.
