My mum is a resident at the home and her overall experience is good. The key elements of food, drink and care are very good. The home works hard at providing entertainment for those who wish to participate and there is really good wifi to enable other rooms of communication and entertainment. Occasionally
the admin seems a little ad-hoc, but the vast majority of the carers are hard-working and very approachable.

Fantastic home, helpful staff. Clean and welcoming.
The staff show such a huge amount of empathy and compassion towards the residents and nothing is too much trouble. Very person-centred and accommodating.

My mother had dementia and was in assisted living with care 4 times a day with a lot of help from me. I had a breakdown and my mum was brought into Hungerford House in September 2022. The care, concern and stimulation she has received are amazing. My mum had lost weight 11st decreasing to 6st 6lbs on
entering the home. She eats 3 meals a day, is clean, well cared for and very happy she has staff 24/7 to look after her. The home is amazing.

The staff is always helpful and friendly, the food is good and cups of tea are made regularly for the residents, since moving in my mother-in-law has improved by leaps and bounds as she is being stimulated with constant contact with other residents and staff.

My mum was in Hungerford House Care Home for six weeks. The carers were a delight always smiling and when passing my mum would always stop and chat with her. They go out of their way to make everyone feel special. The personal care they provided was of a high standard. Her clothes were washed and returned
to her promptly and her room was kept clean. She did not get involved in many activities but she enjoyed having her nails painted. The food was wholesome. A Hairdresser and Chiropodist also visit regularly.

I find the facilities at Hungerford House hard to fault and the staff that I have encountered have been exceptional. My mother received such a warm welcome and my confidence in the care she is benefitting from has been so reassuring. Mum's admission into the 'family atmosphere' was handled with a great
deal of efficiency, consideration and kindness. I was full of trepidation but I have been very impressed by the attitude and professionalism we have experienced to date.

I cannot praise Hungerford House enough. The care my dad receives is exemplary. It is a difficult decision to place a loved one in a care home and I know that my dad is in far better health for being in such a lovely environment.

Mum has been in Hungerford House Care Home for five months. She is a long-term resident. Mum has settled in very well. The staff are excellent, this includes everyone from cleaners, maintenance, admin, carers and chef. Nothing is too much trouble for them. And not forgetting the home manager. The room
Mum has is very small but is enough for her needs. I would recommend this home to everyone. They always have time for me if I need to ask any questions.

Reply from Freya Higgs, Marketing Administrator at Hungerford House

Thank you for your lovely comment. I am glad to hear your mum has settled in well and is enjoying life at the home. I will pass this on to our team at Hungerford House.

My nan passed away last night in Hungerford house in Corsham.
Your staff are first-class carers that show so much compassion and empathy. The two days I was there by my nan's side they supported myself and my aunt and showed my nan the respect she deserved even after she passed.
Please praise them
as they are amazing and made my time there comfortable and supported.
You have trained your staff well.
The care home is homely and well managed.
A huge thank you to all the carers, care leaders and managers. Also staff in the reception.

Wonderful, caring, friendly. They always have time to talk with you. They keep my husband happy and well-fed. He has peace of mind and they have their sing-a-longs.
He says he asks for cups of tea and it's there for him. He has his own bedroom with T.V. They all meet up with one another in a day room
and chat. Family can visit just ask for a day and date and if available yes.

I believe the home is run very well. The staff are excellent and always have time to help me if needed. I enjoy having a shower in the morning and look forward to breakfast. I like to stretch my legs and take a walk in the gardens. I enjoyed watching the young chicks in the garden.

All the staff are kind to me, my father, and most importantly, my mum. She's always clean and tidy. She likes all her carers too. As we can't really go in the home, difficult to answer some of the questions.

My wife came to Hungerford House at the beginning of October 2020, since then due to the coronavirus I have been restricted to see her once a week. The carers are looking after her extremely well, hoping in the near future to be able to see her and the carers more.

The staff n the home have always been excellent and supportive of my mother. All zoom calls have been arranged very well and our first face to face meeting on 3rd May 2021 was arranged very professionally. Mum seems very happy in the house and this must be down to the excellent care she is receiving.

This review is based on the limited access to Mum due to Covid restrictions. However, the staff have been excellent in facilitating my visits and making the process as easy as possible. Mum is still very happy and all her needs seem to be continuing to be cared for. It will be good to get back to 'normal'
visits and be able to help Mum more with things like her hearing aids, walks in the garden or park and a coffee out.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.300)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.300) out of 10 for Hungerford House 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 8 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 4.667 for Hungerford House is calculated as follows: ( (72 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.667

  • 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 4.633 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hungerford House is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.6 = 0.833

  • 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.
