All the staff took great care of my mother through her several months of stroke recovery. I could always speak to her on the phone when I needed to which was a great comfort as I live abroad. I would thoroughly recommend the home and all the care team to anyone.

Mum was very happy there. The care manager and the carers looked after mum very well. When mum was recently on end of life care, the care she received was wonderful. We couldn't have asked for more! So grateful to them all, especially the manager who sat with mum all night, watching over her!

Mother-in-law had been at the home for the last 3 years and enjoyed her stay. The management and staff have been great during those years. She was taken ill and had to go into hospital but at 96 years old, there was little they could do as all of her organs were failing. She wanted to go back to Mallands
to die. The management and staff were really wonderful over the last five days of her life. The manager stayed with her all through the night on two evenings. Very caring staff.

I am the neighbour of a lady resident here at Mallands on respite for 2 weeks. The home in general is very good. I have been surprised how well my friend has settled in and given support from a very friendly, knowledgeable management team. One of the seniors is very friendly and helpful, when we ask
any questions they are answered.

Early days yet as mum went into Mallands on 5th January 2016. However, first impressions are;
Caring and friendly staff. Positive relationships between staff and residents and staff to staff. Good level of staffing. Good range of activities for residents to partake in. Good (home cooked) food and snacks.
Positive ethos/environment. Clean home and residents dressed well.

My mother has been a resident here for a year. The staff and manager are all very kind, respectful to their residents and very patient. There is a great variety of entertainment and mum loves to sit outside when the weather allows. I am very pleased that mum has lunch and supper in the dining room.
Mum bedroom is always spotless and she enjoys regular showers.

When my mother moved to the home I felt very reassured by the manager for her care and support and has more than lived up to expectations. I can contact the manager anytime and have confidence in the manager. The maintenance man is very good also, lovely personality, nothing too much trouble. Always
some form of activity taking place for the residents. The activities coordinator shows enthusiasm for the job. The staff appear to be very caring, the manager approachable and very dedicated to her job.

My mother moved to The Mallands in September 2015. We were impressed by the homely atmosphere, and always feel welcome when we visit. The staff are very friendly, caring and capable and did their best to help mum settle quickly into her new surroundings. Management are always willing to discuss and,
if necessary, rectify any concerns the family may have. The rooms are very pleasant, the meals are always excellent and activities are varied and plentiful. We would definitely have no hesitation in recommending The Mallands.

I have got to know owners (a little) management (well) and most of the staff. They have a good relationship with one another which is good. Staff seem caring and committed to their job. My mum enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of this home. They regularly bring in outside entertainment as well as the 'in
house' activities.

My husband has been a resident at Mallands for eighteen months. I visit several times a week and I am invariably welcomed, a hot drink is available and I will be told of any little 'happenings' since my last visit. I always receive a phone call if there is any greater concern like an infection. The
staff are very friendly and supportive and very solicitous in my husband's care. He identifies well with them. I have noticed the same level of care and attention with others and have no doubt that this, together with excellent food, cleaning and maintenance are the result of caring ownership, a great handyman and a dedicated, devoted, knowledgeable manager.

Mum came in on respite care and has received excellent care and attention. Obviously the first day is settling in but mum has improved enormously in such a short time which wasn't apparent in a hospital ward. Mum needed rest and peace to recover from her injury which is what she has found at Mallands-
Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.649)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.649) out of 10 for Mallands is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.649 for Mallands is calculated as follows: ( (100 Excellents x 5) + (49 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 151 Ratings = 4.649

  • 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 Mallands is based on 13 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 38 registered maximum number of service users is 7.6, which has been reached with 13 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.
