I have always found the staff, home, facilities and care to be excellent. Staff always take time for each person and look after them extremely well. Nothing is too much trouble. Thank you to all the staff for their love and care.

I cannot speak highly enough of the care, love and respect that has been shown to my mother from the moment she went to Talbot View. There is a feeling of calmness and peace as you enter the building, which encouraged my mother to feel safe and comfortable. Thank you to everybody for her care!

The home is always clean and most importantly, welcoming.
My mother-in-law enjoyed the food and liked that she could get breakfast in bed.
The staff were helpful and kind, ready to answer any questions.
We were kept appraised of any health problems or difficulties by the manager.
The day trips
for the residents were a highlight.

Mum has been in this home for nearly a year now and despite her dementia being a lot worse and getting frailer with age the staff are still very caring and warm towards mum.
They also go above the call of duty to her family as we find it harder as well. They are always available to have a chat too
or some much needed comfort if required. Her care is excellent and she is treated with dignity at all times.
We feel so grateful that mum is getting the best care at Talbot View

The home had a wonderful, calming atmosphere. The staff from cleaners to management were wonderful, supportive and kind. They helped us through a very difficult time and looked after my mum extremely well to the end of her life. We would like to say a big thank you to all of those that helped us. It's
a wonderful care home.

I would describe Talbot View as a mid-range care home in terms of facilities and fees. It is housed in a modern building with an enclosed garden area. The main recommendation is the friendly care provided by the excellent staff. My mother lived there for nearly four years and came to regard the staff
as her family. She was very happy living there. I am very grateful to the home for the care they provided.

Through my mother's last illness, lasting 6 days, I was able to stay with her night and day. I was made completely welcome and my needs were cared for. I had the opportunity at this time to witness the level of care and dedication blended with appropriate humour, shown at all times to all the residents.
I couldn't have asked for a better place for my mother to be at the end of her life, nor for better support for her and all her family. Thank you!

Dad has been at Talbot View for a few months now and the care he gets for his dementia is wonderful.
He has settled well and joins in with many of the activities on offer. He particularly likes the dancing, skittles and football. He has been known to join in with the singing as well which has surprised
the family.
He seems to have a new lease of life since moving to Talbot View.
We enjoy our visits with Dad and so does he.
The staff have all been wonderful with him and he eats properly which was always a worry before.

My mother is doing very well despite her age and dementia. When she arrived at the home during 2015 she was in very poor health, frail and depressed. Despite her protestations, she is now far healthier and is able to converse with the staff and some of the other residents. We are amazed that she made
such a good recovery with the support of the Care Home Staff.

The staff at Talbot View are kind, caring and very warm. My Mother in Law seems to be much more relaxed and happier than she has done for quite some time. She has settled there well and even joined the choir, not something I expected of a 93 year old! due, I am sure, to the encouragement of the staff.

I lost my dear husband on February 28th. He was only in Talbot View for 5 weeks. He settled in well and was really happy there for four weeks. Unfortunately, he took a turn for the worse on the 23rd and died on the 28th Feb. All I can say is that the care the home gave was second to none. The staff
were excellent and to relatives too. But the week he was in a sleep coma the delicate care they gave him right up to the end turning and talking to him. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.698)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.698) out of 10 for Talbot View 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 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.698 for Talbot View is calculated as follows: ( (261 Excellents x 5) + (64 Goods x 4) + (17 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 344 Ratings = 4.698

  • 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 Talbot View is based on 28 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 59 registered maximum number of service users is 11.8, which has been reached with 28 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.
