Excellent care home and we have experience of 4 or 5 others (parents-in-law). Good caring attitude the care is well adapted to the needs of the resident.
Kind staff are doing a difficult job. Good activities for those who are capable.
Lack of dental care is the only problem.

Reply from Steve Hill, Home Manager at Stratton House

The staff, on the whole aim to please (the odd one needs a little more training in social skills and bed-making sheet only pulled over the un-made bed!) Staff work very hard and always pleasant. As I progressed in becoming more mobile and self-reliant, it became less frustrating having to wait. Being
contained in my room and not mobile enough for the restaurant. Found food often only lukewarm.

Reply from Karen Stephens, Area Support Manager at Stratton House

Thank you for you recent review. I am very sorry that your stay at Stratton House was not a positive one. I will discuss this with the Manager and I will be asking him to contact you so this can be discussed further.

The building is quite impressive, with easy car parking. All the staff are pleasant and helpful. The garden is attractive, well maintained and perfect for residents to sit out, should they wish to do so. The menus are varied, yet residents can still request an alternative if they prefer. It's a good
experience for both residents and visitors.

Stratton House provides a kind and caring environment for residents. Staff try very hard to meet individual needs. I feel comfortable discussing any issues with staff and feel they are concerned to ensure that my mother receives the best care and attention. I have confidence in them. The premises are
well maintained and clean. I am glad we chose Stratton House.

I am a regular volunteer at Stratton House. I engage with both residents and staff. I am always impressed by the friendly and happy atmosphere that pervades the place. The home is clean and tidy and the staff are kind and attentive. The residents are very positive about their surroundings given their
circumstances. The residents are complimentary about their meals and appreciate the efforts that are made to entertain them and enrich their lives.

My mother is generally quite happy at Stratton House.
Her room is very satisfactory and convenient. Stratton House is very good. She does complain that it sometimes takes staff a long time to respond to her buzzer.
She is generally very happy with the food provided.

Overall, I am happy with the quality and service at Stratton House. However, I find that there is a lack of consistency in areas such as food, care and support and management. Unfortunately, it is often the shortcomings that are remembered rather than the more positive experiences. That said, on balance,
the home is good in almost all respects.

Over the past few months things in the home have settled, with more inclusion from residents, having a say in menu's and going out on trips, the activities are fantastic with a wide range of activities and volunteers to help.
The home is always spotless and the staff can't do enough for you.

We feel very lucky to finally find a care home who really care. Great care and attention to details such as welcome flowers, celebrating different nationalities, music, involvement with the outside world and bringing this into the lives of resident no longer able to mobilise. The activity organiser
is an enormous asset to this home. Everything is thoughtfully considered. Food is sometimes hit and miss, depending on the chef on duty. Day staff are all 100% lovely - but agency staff at night time are sometimes disappointing and not enough "care" is offered on early waking.

Mum has now resided in Stratton House for more than two years and is both happy and comfortable in her surroundings. She is and always has been an easy going person who gets on well with others and she is popular with both fellow residents and staff alike. She has had a number of health issues in recent
months and the staff have been admirable and unwavering in their attentiveness, subsequently, we would have no hesitation in recommending Stratton House to others.

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.
