My mother has been at The Homestead for over 12 months and we have only ever had praise for the Home and its staff. They are always cheerful and helpful. The Home has a lovely garden that the residents can enjoy - particularly important during this difficult lockdown time.

There are probably not enough words for the praise I can give The Homestead care team for looking after my late mother and my stepfather for several years.
Currently, in lockdown, we have been able to visit standing and talking from outside, which has helped with mental health, and I know the team
are doing as much as they can to provide activity stimulation and outside garden visits for all the residents.
I know they made swift decisions on isolating The Homestead from visitors and has clearly been a success with keeping the virus at bay.
Whenever I have visited, they are always happy to see me and extremely friendly even though they are rushing about looking after the resident's needs and the home is always very clean and tidy.
My late mum and stepfather had and have nothing but praise for The Homestead since moving from two previous care homes that were not so good.
I can highly recommend The Homestead and care team that does a cracking job under normal and very difficult circumstances.

Reply from Paul Nery, Owner at The Homestead

Thank you so much, Dave, for the wonderfully kind praise. I have passed this on to Clare and team, this will make their day.

As soon as you walk through the door, you know you're in a very happy home. The staff are so good with the residents and are always happy and willing to help relatives. My dad is very happy here. He likes the singalongs and sitting in the garden. The food is five star and I like the fact I can visit
anytime.

My grandma has been living at The Homestead for almost seven months after a fall just before Christmas at home meant she couldn’t stay there alone. Initially we were worried, but she settled in really well and loves it there. The staff are so caring and Gran is always talking about how kind and helpful
they are. My dad visits most weeks and is so relieved that she’s happy and safe and he doesn’t have to keep checking in on her or worry that her home carers have arrived. It’s made such a difference to us all.
The best thing is Gran is well looked after and cared for, meaning we don’t have to worry.

I am very impressed by the staff friendliness and the fact that they can't do enough for the residents to ensure they are happy and looked after really well.
The residents all seem happy and chat to us when we visit.
The home is always clean and has a lovely smell of cooking when we visit in the morning.
My father-in-law cannot praise the food enough and he has a large appetite so he must be happy.
He enjoys joining in activities that he likes and also sitting out in the garden on nice days.
Whenever we turn up, my father-in-law always looks clean and tidy and shaved which means so much.
We have always been told to turn up whenever we want to and it is always the same.
I would happily recommend this home to anyone. We are all very happy with it and say it is like home from home.

My father moved from another care home to this one in December 2018. The staff here were instantly friendly and helpful. We were given lots of information about the home and told to ask if we had any problems. Nothing is ever too much trouble for the staff and I would say they actually go above and
beyond what is normally expected.
My father says he loves the food and he cannot praise the staff highly enough for everything they do for him. He is happy with his room and in fact, got offered another one and said he was more than happy where he was as he loves the view.
He also says it is very peaceful here and he is allowed to make all of his own choices which means a lot to him. His happiness is what matters and he is very happy. I am at ease knowing that he is being so well cared for.
I would highly recommend this home to my friends.

The Homestead cared for my neighbour up until June of this year. There wasn't anything that was too much trouble and she had everything she needed and was happy and looked after. It's a quiet stunning setting and my friend was very happy to spend her time there.
I was made to feel welcome and looked
forward to my visits, the staff were always friendly and looked after me as well.

My mother stayed at the Homestead for just over a fortnight's respite care. The home was pleasant, thoughtfully laid out with two sitting rooms and a spacious dining area. My mother was allocated a light, bright ground floor room overlooking the garden, with an en suite wet room. The staff were friendly
and cheerful. My mother was given the rest and care she needed and was able to return home. She expressed regret about missing the lovely cooked breakfasts she had enjoyed there.

I was very upset at my husband going into a home with dementia, but the care he is getting is more than I could wish for, he is very happy there, which was the main thing. For me, the staff and manager are very kind and look after him well. I could not ask for more and they are kind to me too.

My mother lived on her own for years getting more and more depressed and seeing no-one other than the gardener once a week. Since she moved to The Homestead she has perked up a lot and I consider the staff are the key to this place have a homely feel. All considered I would recommend it 100%.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.968)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.968) out of 10 for The Homestead is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 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 4.968 for The Homestead is calculated as follows: ( (150 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 154 Ratings = 4.968

  • 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 The Homestead 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 24 registered maximum number of service users is 4.8, 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.
