Netherhayes has a homely feel and the staff are varied and friendly. We visit my partner's dad very regularly and we are always greeted with a friendly smile. The care staff are very patient and kind to residents, even in very trying situations. The location is ideal - a short wheelchair push to the
seafront and the many cafes, so it's easy for us to take Dad out. We are very happy with the choice we made.

Dad has been in here for about five weeks. He has settled in ok, the staff are very attentive, there is a good selection of food although Dad has lost his appetite. He spends most of his time in the conservatory. Dad being in here has given me peace of mind.

My mum is happy and content at Netherhayes and in general is well cared for. Netherhayes has just celebrated her 104th birthday in fine style and she enjoyed it tremendously with a party with a singer and lovely food.

My mother has been a resident at Netherhayes for just over seven years. Throughout this time the quality of care has never diminished and remains excellent to date. I’ve witnessed first-hand the team’s compassion, empathy, professionalism and great care towards my mother and indeed to all residents.
The standard of cleanliness throughout the home is high as is the attention to personal hygiene both for staff and residents. The meals are good quality and varied with residents choosing what suits their pallets. Activities range from crafts, armchair exercises and games, singing along with some of the musicians who visit regularly or going on outings, for example to the Donkey Sanctuary - a particular favourite of my mother’s. I’m welcomed warmly each time I visit and always get a call if there are any issues needing my attention. My mother often tells me how happy she is to be at Netherhayes and that’s all I need to hear!

My mother joined Netherhayes Care Home in June 2021. She has dementia and over the past 2.5 years, this has deteriorated. The level of care shown to my mum has never wavered. The care staff has a friendly outlook and respect for the residents they lovingly look after. My mum is very happy in the home
and has a lovely smile for all the staff, carers and management. She loves it when they interact with her. I feel this has been a happy time for her.

Reply from Kay Smith, Secretary at Netherhayes

There is always a warm welcome from all staff.
The home is always very clean. It is well decorated. My husband gets good care from the carers. They are always willing to help. He is always clean and dressed appropriately. He enjoys the food and offered an alternative if it's something he does not like.
There are plenty of activities to join in. He has been on many outings outside the home.

I find the home of a good standard, but the dining room is too small for the amount of residents and the shower room needs updating or divided so the toilet can be used when someone is showering.

Reply from Kay Smith, General Manager at Netherhayes

Thank you for taking the time to write a review and for the points raised. We are pleased that you feel the home is of a good standard, and we agree that the dining area has become too small; this is due to more residents using the dining area rather than dining in the privacy of their own rooms, so we are in the process of recreating an additional dining area, which was previously in use. With regards to the shower room, it unfortunately is not viable to divide the room due to the space required for wheelchair access, but we do have several other toilets available on the ground floor.

Netherhayes are fantastic, I really can not rate this home enough in the short amount of space I have here. All the staff make the residents feel special by the individual care and attention they receive and are led by the fantastic manager. My dad enjoys the lovely cooked food, along with the daily
entertainment of singers, games, crafts, days out etc. Xmas day 2023 was a delight, so much effort went in by all the team to make it special and not one resident went without a gift from Santa. The residents visited otter nurseries on the lead up to Xmas and carried out so many decorations and Xmas arts/crafts to really get both the residents and staff alike into the Xmas spirit. The atmosphere on the big day really was quite emotional and I couldn't ask for a better place for my dad to be and can rest at night knowing he's in such fantastic hands. As a staff member told me 'we treat all our residents as if they are family' and honestly, it shows!

Reply from Kay Smith, General Manager at Netherhayes

Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review. It is of the upmost importance to us that each and every resident is treated as part of our family and we would all want our family to have the best Christmas and by the sound of it this was achieved. We are so pleased to know how much you appreciate the dedication and hard work of our manager and her team and this makes us very proud of what we do.

Well, where do I start? The care that has been given to my father has been absolutely exemplary. The care shown to me and my two sisters went above and beyond their remit and supported us all until the end. The staff spoke highly of Dad and nothing was too much trouble for them. All done with a smile.
One member of staff needs special mention. She put my father before her own family member who was very unwell at the time. She came back to the home to say her goodbyes and then went back to be with her family. Other members of staff stayed to be there for us even though they were not on shift. We felt very much part of a truly wonderful family. They all have a heart of gold and have been privileged to have met them despite under such circumstances.

My father-in-law has been on respite in Netherhayes. The home is superb. The staff are welcoming, supportive and so very caring. Their reassurance has helped so very much. The team are doing everything they can to make the stay bespoke for him. He is well looked after and he enjoys the food which is
varied and fresh. The activities are amazing. The visit from the wildlife centre was a particular hit.

I'm very happy here. The staff are ever so caring. They threw a big party for my 102nd birthday, it was wonderful.

Reply from Kay Smith, General Manager at Netherhayes

It's lovely to hear that you are happy here and feel well cared for and we are especially pleased that you enjoyed your Birthday celebrations, we couldn't possibly let a milestone like 102 pass without having big celebrations, although we never need much of an excuse to celebrate at Netherhayes!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.653)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.653) out of 10 for Netherhayes is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.653 for Netherhayes is calculated as follows: ( (98 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.653

  • 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 Netherhayes is based on 12 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 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6, which has been reached with 12 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.
