I have visited Southmoor numerous times to see my father who is a resident at the care home. Staff are very professional and friendly. The home is immaculate always clean and tidy. My father’s room is always extremely clean and well-kept. There are numerous activities to keep residents motivated and
active.

My mother-in-law arrived at South Hayes in Dec 22 and was greeted by the most amazing, caring, considerate, kind and thoughtful manager and her amazing team. The room was lovely, bright, warm, comfy and safe. My mother-in-law was so happy and content, she would say how caring all the staff was and nothing
was too much trouble. We as a family felt the staff was extended family, always greeted by staff daily on our visit with hello and smiles and made to feel so welcome. The newly decorated rooms are beautiful, light, fresh and beautifully designed. The meals were outstanding and a good selection my mother-in-law would say. Sadly my mother-in-law passed away but she was content and happy and with the passing, the staff gave us the time and loving support we needed, a few days later we arrived back in South Hayes to collect all the belongings and to find they were all still in her room which I personally thought was lovely. Thank you to all the staff, you truly made happy memories.

Reply from Leanne Usherwood, Manager at South Hayes Care Home

Thank you so much for your wonderful words. We are like one big family, and we want to always ensure that the care of the residents is always our priority, but family are also very important to us as a team as you are trusting us to care for your relative with high standards of care, dignity and respect at all times.
I am only able to do my job with the support of the team I have with me and the wonderful support we have from relatives.

My mother was brought to South Hayes Care Home from the hospital. As I cared for my mother, I was a little worried about her settling in and coping with being in a residential home. My mother was so settled chatting with staff daily enjoying her meals and feeling content. The manager and all the staff
gave my mother so much time and the care she needed. My mum wasn't one to join in activities as that's the type of person she was but despite that staff would always go into the room and sit and chat with her and give her the time and chats she loved. Always greeted by helpful friendly chats with staff and felt like family, staff would say how they love their job and it certainly showed with the time and effort within everything they would do. The manager deserves so much for not only the management roles but for the care, time and effort she gives her residents and their families and her staff. The rooms are beautiful and the newly decorated rooms are designed beautifully and highly recommended.

Reply from Leanne Usherwood, Manager at South Hayes Care Home

Thank you for allowing us to be able to support mum and yourself through what was a difficult time for you to have others care for her; I will make sure the staff know of your support for them as a team. I am so pleased that mum settled quickly, and that was a comfort for mum and yourself. We are very proud of how the home is starting to look now, but I am also glad that we have not lost that homely feel.

My dad passed away at the end of last year and had been at South Hayes for five years. It is difficult to express in words just how grateful I am for the way South Hayes looked after Dad. He required quite a lot of care towards the end of his life and without exception, his care was always given with
compassion, with a smile and with the utmost consideration for his dignity.
The team at South Hayes didn't just care for Dad; they cared about him and made his final years happy and comfortable.
My heartfelt thanks to everyone at South Hayes for all you did for Dad. I am truly grateful.

Reply from Leanne Usherwood, Manager at South Hayes Care Home

Thank you so much for your kind comments; it was an absolute pleasure to care for him. South Hayes is a family, not a workplace. We are all going to miss him and yourself.

I would recommend this care home. Our mother was so very much happy here; she was much loved by all staff, and she loved all of them. We are so happy she spent the last six years of her life at South Hayes. The staff here were like an extended family. Thank you to all concerned for their love, compassion,
empathy and care.

All the staff are very professional, kind and helpful. The food is very good, and Mum always enjoys her meals. She has been very happy since she moved in January this year and likes to join in with the activities. Her room is very nice and spacious, and we have made it just like home with lots of her
personal possessions.

This care home goes above and beyond for the residents.
The care and support during Covid were amazing to all the residents. Times were hard for staff, families and residents, but we came through it!
My auntie is currently in this care home, and I have no doubt whatsoever for the care she receives
is 10/10.
Thanks, team.

My dad has been living at South Hayes care home for 5-days now. We decided, as a family, that he needed this move into care as his Parkinson’s condition has gotten worse. My dad has picked up massively in just a few days, and the staff and residents have welcomed him with open arms! He loves his bedroom
and says the food and staff are excellent. He loves looking out of his bedroom window onto the beautiful garden and view of the hills. He can do the move for himself now he has the adjusted facilities in place especially enjoying better sleep. Highly recommend South Hayes to anyone struggling with the decision of putting a family member into a care home.

Reply from Leanne Usherwood, Manager at South Hayes Care Home

Thank you so much for your kind words. We are pleased that your father is happy here at South Hayes and that we have been able to provide the care and support that he requires and deserves. It is never an easy decision to place loved ones in a care home, but our residents are the main priority within the home.

My sister has been in the care home since breaking her thigh bone; she cannot walk now. Since being there, she has been cared for so well, and everyone is so kind and caring like her own family. She loves playing all the games, and they keep them occupied all the time. We couldn’t have chosen better.

Reply from Leanne Usherwood, Manager at South Hayes Care Home

It's so nice that we are caring for your loved ones in such a way that the residents themselves are happy and family are too, we continue to ensure that all residents are at the heart of the home, as it is their home, and we are just ensuring they receive the care that they all deserve.
Never easy coming into a care home, but I hope we make that transition as easy as possible for them.
Thank you for your kind words - means a lot.

Absolutely brilliant care was taken of my mother-in-law. The staff have been more than supportive during her stay, showing endless compassion and professional care for all her needs, medically and emotionally.
Whenever we called, never were we given the impression they were too busy to deal with our
call or questions. In talking to each of the staff that answered the phone, we were always met with total professionalism, and above all, our call mattered to them. They took the time to know their patients and fully respected their individual needs.
A huge thank you to South Hayes.

I cannot recommend South Hayes Care Home highly enough. My mom was a resident there for about 5-months until she recently passed away.
The care that the staff gave Mom was absolutely second to none, nothing was too much trouble, and they were all so patient and caring.
If I could give them ten stars
out of five, I would - thank you to you all.

Lovely care home that has looked after my uncle for 2-years. The staff are caring and very hard working. They have bought him out of himself, and he now joins in many activities. A lovely, clean and happy care home.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.524)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.524) out of 10 for South Hayes 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 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 3 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 4.889 for South Hayes Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (32 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.889

  • 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 3.635 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for South Hayes Care Home is based on 3 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 = 3.25

    • 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 39 registered maximum number of service users is 7.8. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.8 = 0.385

  • 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.
