Every time I visit my Mum she is well turned out, dressed smartly and obviously well looked after. The staff are very approachable and friendly in what is a demanding environment. I always get offered a drink and sometimes even a meal. Special occasions, like Birthdays, they always make a fuss of her.

Our relation has been resident at Silverleigh for 5 and a half years. We visit at least twice a month and have always been made welcome to a lovely, well run home. Staff are very on hand at all times and plenty of activities take place daily, and regular events ie. tea party, dog show, xmas party. We've
made many friends here. Our relative had been to 5 homes until we found Silveleigh and is so well settled and regards this as her home. Thank you all so much.

We chose Silverleigh for my mother who has dementia as a result of extensive research. We have not been disappointed, She is very happy and well cared for. The staff are charming and very caring. The home has a lovely atmosphere. The food and drinks are fresh, well prepared and thoughtfully chosen.
It gives us peace of mind knowing that she is safe, happy and well cared for.

My husband came here three years ago for 1 day a week day care. He settled happily and contented and I had no other reason to consider anywhere else for residential care when his condition deteriorated to the point where I could no longer keep him at home. The home is very, very well led, the staff
trained exceptionally well and the atmosphere is one of a relaxed, happy kind. I visited many other homes before making the decision to choose Silverleigh Nursing Home I have never ever regretted my choice.

My husband and I both work in the NHS and we can honestly say that Silverleigh is one of the most caring, stimulating and contented residential homes we have ever visited. Friends also with social work experience agree.
The staff are outstanding - never too busy for anyone. The whole place is run like
their home.

My husband has been a resident of Silverleigh for two and a half years. He has been very happy here from day one. His behaviour was very difficult at times, and the staff here have managed him with care, compassion and love. The activities are very varied and my husband has been involved with the swimming
sessions and outings The entertainment is also very good, involving most of the residents. I am extremely happy with the care my husband is receiving.

My wife has been in care for two and half years, having been in two other care homes before coming to Silverleigh. She was very unhappy and this was a cause of great distress for me. But all this changed at Silverleigh and she found it of great interest and became very content. As she is unable to communicate
the staff and carers do their utmost to see to her needs and she thinks the world of them, she is now happy and so am I.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.897)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.897) out of 10 for Silverleigh Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 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 4.897 for Silverleigh Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (149 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 165 Ratings = 4.897

  • 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 Silverleigh Care 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 65 registered maximum number of service users is 13, 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.
