I visit an old friend of mine once a week. She is very happy at "Endeavour" and tells me she is well looked after. She is always clean and tidy, has her hair washed and set every week and her room is bright and spotlessly clean. I am very impressed with the staff who look after her - they are kind
and attentive and pay great attention to safety. My friend tells me the food is "really good" - I don't eat there, but I am always invited to join the residents in an afternoon cup of tea and a biscuit. The residents are always at ease and clearly happy together in the lounge areas. Again, these communal areas are always clean, light and airy. My friend tells me she enjoys a variety of activities including visiting musicians. There's no doubt that the overall atmosphere is happy and relaxed.

There is always a warm welcome when visiting Endeavour Resident Home. The residents are always comfortable together in the light airy environment and very often have entertainment which I find is lovely. I have got to know the team leaders and the managers over the three years mum has been in care.
I feel confident that my mum is well looked after with kindness and understanding.

My Nan is always well presented with clean clothes and appearance. The staff interact with her on a professional level but also with an approach that puts my Nan at ease. The staff are always busy looking after the residents and their needs but are patient when doing so. There is always a pleasant atmosphere
when we are visiting.

A review of their Summer Party - was very enjoyable and everyone had a good time. They had a lovely singer, very good food, and as always very attentive staff. I cannot praise Endeavour Residential Home enough, I am so lucky to have my Mum living there.

Reply from Hardevinder Gorae, Owner at Endeavour Residential Home

Thank you for taking the time to review Endeavour, we are so pleased that you enjoyed the garden party along with everyone else, it is really hard work organising everything and relying on the weather, however it turned out to be a great afternoon. It is a real privilege to care for your lovely mum at Endeavour, she is part of the Endeavour family and is always happy, long may this continue.

My Nan initially went in for respite after a hospital admission. Once well enough to return home my Nan made the decision to live permanently at Endeavour. Nan said she felt safe there and was well cared for. My Nan refers to other residents as her friends. Nan has always been a sociable lady but lost
her spark over the years, since moving into Endeavour my Nan has returned to how she was. Full of fun and laughter. Nan now enjoys days out with her family members but is always happy to return home with her friends. All the staff and management I have encountered have been very kind and caring. You can see the resident's care needs are front and foremost. Everyone seems so happy when we visit. It has definitely regained my trust and faith in care home settings.

Reply from Hardevinder Gorae, Owner at Endeavour Residential Home

Thank you for your kind words, it is a real pleasure and honour to look after your Nan, as you know she has settled really well and now sees Endeavour as her home which is lovely. The residents are our priority and we aim to provide a Home from Home atmosphere which Nan says we have achieved and that she is really happy here, what more could we ask for? I am so pleased Endeavour has been able to restore your faith in the care sector.

I attended the annual Garden Party to sit with my sister-in-law. As usual, the standard of food, staff and ambience was good. The only small niggle was there could have been more shade it was for the UK and an unusually hot day but overall it was excellent I have always been impressed with the level
of care given to the resident and all aspects. Definitely a 5-star establishment.

Reply from Hardevinder Gorae, Owner at Endeavour Residential Home

Thank you for your kind words they mean an awful lot to Endeavour. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the garden party, we have taken on board your niggle regarding the amount of shade, as you know there was a large parasol in place to cover our residents which has to be our main priority, but we will bear this in mind for next year.

Mum continues to receive excellent care at Endeavour. Staff are warm and friendly and extremely considerate of her needs. As a family we all appreciate the hard work and dedication undertaken by the carers and staff and we are reassured that Mum is safe and happy at the home.
We realise that there
are many pressures for staff in the care sector as a whole, but maybe a written care plan for residents would be an added reassurance for families.

Reply from Hardevinder Gorae, Owner at Endeavour Residential Home

Thank you for your kind words, the staff and the team at Endeavour work really hard and are dedicated to providing a high standard of person-centred care and it is an honour to be looking after your mum.
Individuals do have an individual care plan which are completed electronically, they are no longer paper-based, however you are able to view the care plan at Endeavour. At any time you are unsure or require any sort of clarification you only have to ask and we will oblige.
Once again thank you for allowing us the pleasure of looking after your mum.

I find all the staff to be friendly, polite and helpful. My mum is always clean, tidy and dressed properly. I feel that she is safe and secure. The home is well-maintained and decorated. The food is excellent and there is a choice of meals. My mother has lived at Endeavour for just over a year during
which time she has needed medical attention which the staff ensured she received and when necessary promptly called a doctor. Communication from the staff and manager has been very good.

Mum originally came to Endeavour Residential Home for respite care and asked to stay because she really liked it! The manager and staff are lovely, Mum feels safe and cared for which is so important for someone with dementia! She has settled in quickly and loves it! It’s been a great relief for the
family to find a well run specialist home in Exeter!

My mother was admitted with dementia in November 2021. Her health deteriorated due to the disease and she sadly passed away in April 2022. Throughout this period the care she received from the team at the home was excellent, particularly during her final days. The care and sympathy shown to her family
and husband at the end was also excellent.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.756)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.756) out of 10 for Endeavour Residential Home 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.756 for Endeavour Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (128 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 164 Ratings = 4.756

  • 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 Endeavour Residential Home is based on 14 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 14 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.
