Evendine House Residential Care Home offers high-quality accommodation and exceptional care provided by fully qualified, highly skilled and loving carers. It has a truly unparalleled reputation in the area making it a popular choice for people looking for a quality residential care home for life.

The home is a superbly converted and very attractively furnished house originally built in the 1920s for a famous tea family and is set in 3 acres of lovely grounds in a quiet village location at the foot of the Malvern Hills.

The team offers residential care, specialist dementia care, respite and day care and couples care in a comfortable, warm and welcoming environment.

Evendine is also one of the leading dementia care homes in the area thanks to its team of highly experienced carers with specialised training and knowledge in dementia care.

For residents who don’t yet need full-time care but require short-term support, sometimes because their usual carers are unavailable, the team can offer respite care. Each respite or short-stay resident receives the same levels of care, respect, and dignity as permanent residents.

The services offered at Evendine House are personalised for each resident through the use of individually tailored care plans and packages. Staff work hard to ensure that residents’ individual needs and wishes are always catered for. Some of the other care services that Evendine House offer include regular visits from healthcare professionals and chiropody, beauty treatments and hairdressing.

My mother's first day at Evendine House was a very good experience for all. One of the Carers was assigned to look after us and spent a lot of time getting to know my mother, her life history, and her family. We were warmly welcomed and given a lovely sandwich platter lunch to share in the beautiful
gardens. When we left my mother in the afternoon we felt very confident that Evendine House is the right choice.

My father died in the care home on 14th February. His care during his final weeks was kind, respectful and caring. Staff, particularly the manager and deputy, were very caring towards me and my family. I am grateful for their friendliness and comforting words.

Mum has lived here for the last eighteen months. Her health and mental state are very much improved with their professional care compared to care at home. It is a lovely home in a beautiful location in the Malvern Hills.

Our friend from teenage years came to Evendine three years ago, suffering from mild dementia. She was made very welcome, had a lovely room, and enjoyed the communal activities. Over the years her dementia has developed, and at all stages the staff have been kind, thoughtful, and respectful. Now she
is often reluctant to leave her room, though does on occasions when she consents to go. Staff visit her regularly and socialise with her. She continues to enjoy meals which she selects from a menu though often she now needs guidance in selecting. She is now incontinent, and staff check if she is clean and comfortable every two hours as a minimum, night and day. On occasions she has fallen, and can no longer move about independently, so two staff help her. There is a hoist for her exclusive use, her bed can rise and lower, having guard-rails, and there are pressure mats placed strategically around the room. Whenever we visit we find her tidy, well-groomed, and cheerful.

My brother moved in during lockdown. The manager offered options for keeping in touch with him directly and provided updates on his progress whenever I needed it. I always felt reassured that he was in good hands. When he fell ill with a serious infection (not Covid) they reacted promptly and appropriately
and kept me posted at all times. As his condition became critical they relaxed restrictions so I could see him, properly protected. Only then did I have the opportunity to see the lovely house, his airy room with a view over the large and beautiful gardens, which he had so enjoyed during his stay. And to meet the staff, who were all I could have hoped for - warm, caring, attentive, good-humoured, and genuinely fond of those in their charge. They had kept my brother active with gardening, music and dancing, puzzles and conversation, in spite of circumstantial limitations on resources. The location is fabulous and the atmosphere in the home peaceful, yet vibrant.

I wrote a review of Evendine House in July 2019. Sadly, my mother died as a result of a chest infection in November. I should like to put on record that the end-of-life care that Evendine House provided for my mother during her final weeks was outstandingly good. The manager and her team gave my mother
all the practical support that she needed and showed her great affection. Members of staff spent a lot of time with her, looked after her physical needs very well and treated her with dignity. They maintained close liaison with my mother’s GP and other medical staff, and kept us fully informed at all stages. We owe a great debt of gratitude to Evendine House.

I have been surprised by how well my friend seems to have settled into life at Evendine House after moving there about three months ago.
She tells me the food is good, the staff are lovely and there is always something to do. When I last visited, she was making cupcakes. She enjoys this well-maintained
gardens as she loved being outdoors.
I can think of no better place for her to be.
She can even see her beloved Malvern Hills.

My childhood friend has been a resident for a few months now. She has settled well, put on weight, looks less stressed and interacts with the staff and residents alike. She enjoys taking part in activities which are organised each day. She says how good the food is and how considerate the staff are.
We feel reassured that she is well cared for at Evendine House.

Early days yet but accommodation and staff involvement is very pleasing. The resident is comfortable and aware of the care that is taken by the staff despite her unrealistic desire to return to her old home.

My aunt stayed here for 2 weeks in order to have a holiday in this beautiful area. (Due to my own health issues she can no longer stay with me in Malvern). The staff made her so welcome and took a personal interest in her well being. She loved sitting in the garden looking at the Malvern Hills and listening
to the birds. I was able to take her out whenever I was free. My dogs and I were always made welcome at any time and offered a drink or even a meal. I especially appreciated the night-time care when she is most at risk of falling.

Another year on and my father and step-mother continue to consider Evendine as their 'home from home'. My father in particular (now aged 98!) who had undertaken most of the household chores in latter years, reiterates that it was the best move he ever made! Roast beef and Yorkshire (and no washing up)
and no ironing - all catered for - and he gets his back scrubbed in his new super ensuite wet room.
Four-legged and two-legged visitors very welcome and all in all, something you would want to package and give to everyone who needs residential care.

We as a family feel very lucky that my Dad is being cared for at Evendine. Just like a second home. There is so much warmth and love when you walk in through the door. Totally professional, you are welcomed with open arms and there’s a wonderful fun happy atmosphere. Nothing is ever too much trouble.
Great interaction for residents on a daily basis and time to just chill out and have a sleep too. Everyone is so helpful. Beautiful gardens in a great area with easy access. It says it all when you visit and your Dad is happy, enjoying life and is quite content where he is. Thank you for looking after him so well.

This is a very caring establishment and the staff have done their utmost to help my unhappy father to settle in at Everdine House.

Reply from Geoff Butcher, Owner at Evendine House

Thank you very much for your review and very kind comments - had we known sooner that you were unhappy specifically about the cakes, we would have been sure to have made changes and prepared something to meet your preferences - the manager will feedback to the kitchen and please let us know if you are happy with the results!

After looking at several homes in the area, we were very pleased to discover Evendine House. We like the fact that there are a relatively small number of residents. The staff really do care and show respect and courtesy to both residents and visitors. Almost every time we have visited, there have been
activities taking place. My mother doesn’t often take part but it is nice that the option is there. The staff are professional but also relaxed so there is a nice atmosphere in the home - which we have often likened to a country-house hotel.

Everyone extremely welcoming, on the day we arrived. Staff always friendly and willing to help. My mother, having dementia, can get very confused but the staff have settled her so well and she seems very relaxed and happy. Food is excellent.

The home provides the care that dad desperately needed due to his vascular dementia. He is very comfortable in his new surroundings and feels safe and well looked after. He receives regular personal care as a result of which he is much happier and is feeling generally very well. He benefits from the
company of other residents with some of whom he has become friendly.
He gets on very well with the staff who always seem to have dad's best interests at heart. Moving into a dementia specialist care home has been the best move for dad.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.864)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.864) out of 10 for Evendine House 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.864 for Evendine House is calculated as follows: ( (167 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 191 Ratings = 4.864

  • 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 Evendine House is based on 16 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 20 registered maximum number of service users is 4, which has been reached with 16 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.
