My mom has been here for a few years now. She seems content. The staff have been very caring and good with her and she is getting more mobile with the help of the carers and mixing with the other residents which is wonderful. Also joining in with some of the activities.

The care given is good. The home itself needs money to spend on it as its facilities are very basic. There needs to be more staff as the care team are always rushed. The meals are basic and there needs to be more variety. The manager tries hard to make things go smoothly but without enough staff, this
can be difficult. I would like to see staff in the sitting rooms, chatting and doing activities with the residents.

Reply from Tracey Partridge, Registered Manager at Charnwood Residential Care Home

Thank you for your kind feedback on the care provided to your mother. We're delighted it meets your expectations. We recognise our home's unique character due to its original design, which we feel adds warmth and avoids a clinical atmosphere. Currently, we're excited about updating some areas, including two lounges, and the garden enhancement is now complete. Our staff prioritises meaningful interactions with residents but also respects family time during visits. We offer daily activities to enrich our residents' lives, and we invite you to review the schedule in the dining room on your next visit. Participation is always optional. We're also transitioning to a new head chef and looking forward to introducing an updated menu soon. Thank you again for your review and recent visit, feedback is always a part of our continuous efforts to improve our services. Please feel free to reach out anytime with questions or concerns. My door is always open.

An excellent home!
My mother was there for over 2 years from 2018 and was treated like one of the family.
The staff were wonderful, the food excellent and we were always welcome to visit whenever we wanted and for as long as we wanted to be there.
She was treated with respect throughout the time
she was there which included the early weeks of COVID-19 when she sadly passed away (not in any way due to Covid).
While my mother was there my aunt spent a month of respite care there and now that she is in need of 24-hour care has chosen to go back as a resident where she feels she has never been away and has been welcomed back by mainly the same staff who were there before.

What a charming, warm, and caring residential home. We reached out to these ladies in a complete crisis, a member of staff first assessed my aunty followed by the Manager, who agreed they could help with my aunt's needs. From assessment to walking through the door, we knew the decision was right. My
aunt was settled into a room with a pretty view of the gardens, the sun shone through her window and we could hear the birds outside. Her furniture was very tidy and clean. We unpacked and again aunts' needs were met with What would you like to eat? We all joked we were staying for tea as it looked lovely. We've been many times now, myself and family and we have all commented on the home, its cleanliness, efficiency, and warm greeting. The staff updates you on any concerns, needs, and everything else in between. Which is a great comfort. The hairdresser has been and my aunty looked beautiful. Her clothes are clean and no one sits there with half their lunch down them! Highly recommend!

Thank you, I'm so glad we were able to help. It's a pleasure to be looking after your aunt, she's a lovely lady. I will pass your comments on to the staff.

Mum came in for a short stay following a fall and was made to feel so welcome and looked after that she decided she would like to be a permanent resident when it became obvious that she would not be able to go home. The home itself is small and homely. There is always a welcoming atmosphere when we
visit.

Reply from Abbie Shaw, Marketing Officer at Charnwood Residential Care Home

Thank you for your kind review. We are pleased to hear that your mother felt welcome and well cared for during her stay with us. We are committed to providing a warm and inviting environment for all our residents and their families and look forward to continuing to provide exceptional care for your mother.

Mum has been a resident at Charnwood for 6 months. In this period I am happy that she has been well cared for. All staff are friendly and approachable. The manager is always on hand to answer any questions or concerns we may have. Meals are always freshly prepared and look tasty. The home always looks
and smells clean and fresh. Mum is always well-presented and chooses what she would like to wear.

I visited my aunt and was welcomed by the staff. The home was warm and cosy and residents were well cared for and dressed well and no odours in the home. The residents had all got drinks and had been given festive sweets. There was a hot meal which smelt appetizing. It was very pleasing and put your
mind at ease. Well done.

My aunt has been living at Charnwood for two years. She enjoys the food and has a good relationship with her carers. My greatest criticism is that apart from a charity event that doubled as a celebration of my aunt's 100th birthday, I don't think there have been any activities this year. The residents
sit in two small lounges dominated by a tv.

Reply from Tracey Partridge, Manager at Charnwood Residential Care Home

Hi, thank you for your review, we do have regular activities however I can understand why you would think there aren't any as they do tend to happen on a morning when the residents are more receptive. we currently have Tai Chi once a month, chair exercises every 2 weeks, and exercise with Joab every 2 weeks, hand and nail care done weekly. Along with activities completed by care staff and RITA which is situated in the visitor's lounge, we do have a singer/ entertainer when budget permits, unfortunately, your aunt doesn't like to take part in the majority of activities and prefers to have a conversation with the staff and others.
If you would like to discuss it further please feel free to come and see me.

Today we visited our aunt at Charnwood Residential Care Home. We found her in very good care, liked the home and likes staying there. The staff were extremely courteous and while visiting her we were offered a nice cup of tea and had our own little private room with just my husband and self. Would certainly
recommend the home without hesitation.

Staff are like family, the care needs of residents are paramount with care and full attention.
Rooms are small but comfy.
Diet or special needs are always attended to with care.
Cannot fault staff, especially during these bad times of pandemic and the resultant extra work of maintaining visitors
are all clear of any infections.
So content that my mother is receiving the care and affection she needs.

Staff always put residents' care and needs first. Everyone, residents and family, are treated with respect and they keep you informed about your relative. Activities are planned, such as the pub trip on 22 May, to give residents variety and interaction with others. Charnwood is a very comfortable and
calm home with a happy and friendly atmosphere. The staff feel like extended family and have given me peace of mind concerning Mum's care.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.255)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.255) out of 10 for Charnwood Residential Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.3 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 10 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 4.255 for Charnwood Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (63 Excellents x 5) + (57 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 141 Ratings = 4.255

  • 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 Charnwood Residential Care Home is based on 10 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 19 registered maximum number of service users is 3.8, which has been reached with 10 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.
