Nothing but good things to say about Mom's 18-month residency at The Shrubbery. Staff were always on hand to assist with Mom's needs and to deal with our queries. The manager was always extremely helpful and attentive in assisting us as were all staff especially one staff member in particular.

My aunt was a resident for a few months whilst recovering from illness. The care she received was excellent with the staff approachable, friendly and professional whenever we visited. Management was passionate about the care provided and always available or contactable to answer any questions. I would
not hesitate to recommend the shrubbery to anyone unfortunate to have to seek this kind of care.

Reply from Pam Sahota, Company Director at The Shrubbery Rest Home

We are really pleased our care service met your expectations. The staff and the company are very proud of the high standards we continue to maintain. Your recommendation of the service is a true reflection of what we aim to achieve each day for our residents.

Please do not leave any relatives at this care home. Care for the most vulnerable is left in the hands of untrained staff.
I had to remove my mother due to multiple falls, extreme loss of weight and general appalling conditions. So bad that the paramedics who were called out to my mother called me
at 2 am in the morning and asked how soon I can get my mother removed from this home. They said they had been in some bad homes but this was one of the worst. Help bells ring while staff are sitting on their phones. Staff being called for cleaning duties to cook food in the kitchen.
Young male sitting on work services where food is being prepared. If any complaints are made they will say that you are difficult to deal with and refuse to discuss details of residents' needs with you.
The care of residents dropped from December 2022.
Always turnover of staff, they will take on anyone who can fill the vacancy in spite of no experience.
Do not trust this home.

Reply from Pam Sahota, Company Director at The Shrubbery Rest Home

We are disappointed with your negative review. It must have been difficult to accept Mum needed to live in a care home. We worked closely with you to assist with the transition as letting go is always hard.
Our services are regulated/inspected. Mum was promoted to live independently. She was encouraged to make decisions including choices of foods, clothing, activities and mobility.
Care plans were regularly reviewed along with risk assessments by social workers/other professionals who were more than happy with Mum's care provision.
All staff have certified compulsory mandatory training.
We are privileged with a multiskilled workforce enabling some to fulfil more than one role.
Electronic handheld devices used to record care information in real time are often mistaken as mobile phones.
Paramedics act professionally and would raise concerns through the appropriate channels.
Complaints procedures are integral to service improvement and we would be happy to discuss any concern in more detail.

My mother resided at The Shrubbery Rest Home and was cared for exceptionally well. The care and attention to detail from all of the staff was excellent, nothing was ever a problem. The management was very easy to talk to and responded promptly to emails or telephone calls. The room was very comfortable
with en suite facilities, plenty of floor space to walk around and the furniture provided was very comfortable.

Even though The Shrubbery Rest Home is an old property and not as modern as some care homes, the dedication of the staff and management is second to none. There is always a friendly welcome when you visit. Everyone is encouraged to take part in the activities, be it Christmas, Easter or birthdays. Relatives
are invited to personalise residents' rooms to make it more like a home rather than a room in a care home.

My brother has received very good care whilst staying at The Shrubbery Rest Home. The staff were always very helpful when I had any questions and easily contactable and happy to talk to me. Medical advice was sought immediately for any health concerns, I was left in no doubt that he would receive
the right care. His room was always spotless and kept very clean. He was very settled and happy staying at the Shrubbery.

Having to admit my mum to The Shrubbery Rest Home was extremely difficult. The care home manager and team's knowledge, professionalism and care helped the situation no end. Since then my mum's needs have become more demanding, and all these needs have been met by the team with dignity and respect for
my mum. The management and all the team are professional, approachable and nothing is too much trouble. These words do not go far enough, I cannot thank everyone at The Shrubbery for always being there for me and for the care my mum receives, I would without hesitation recommend The Shrubbery to anyone who finds themselves in the very difficult situation of having to look for such care.

My relative was in this care home for just under three years and sadly passed away. We really cannot fault the love and care received during that time. The staff have been amazing, the service was great, and it felt like home when visiting. We never felt awkward asking questions, and everything was
explained to us. We were always kept in contact with and informed of changes in care needs and health. My relative was treated with dignity and respect, and so were we as a family. Management is approachable, and you get to know all the staff, even the directors of the service are around. You can see everyone is passionate about the job and service they deliver. Service was always safe, caring and considerate. So glad we picked this home for my relative and would recommend it to anyone looking for a homely home.

My Uncle was a resident at The Shrubbery Rest Home for 5 years+. He was extremely happy there and very settled. He enjoyed sitting in the conservatory and looking out into the garden, often joined by another resident and they would chat together. He had a nice room where he was very comfortable and
we could visit him in his room and chat and laugh about old times and old family jokes. We took items from the home to make his room more familiar. Whenever we visited, the staff always knew where he was and this comforted us very much. He always looked clean and respectable, nicely dressed and like the Uncle we knew and loved. As he deteriorated, the staff were wonderful, they were in constant contact with family if there was a problem and my Uncle needed to go to hospital and on his return, there was always a hot cup of tea waiting for him. The care my Uncle received was excellent and done with such kindness. We always felt he was very comfortable and contented.

Reply from Pam Sahota, Company Director at The Shrubbery Rest Home

Thank you for your kind words. All of us at The Shrubbery work hard to meet the residents' needs during their stay with us. It was a pleasure caring for your Uncle.

Dad was initially only staying with the Shrubbery for a 2-week respite care placement while we considered his future care placement. However, within those 2 weeks, we quickly saw how settled he became and how good the standard of care was. Dad was obviously happy and our family were so pleased with
how he was welcomed and cared for, so we were easily able to keep him there. Throughout his time at the Shrubbery, he has been cared for with so much respect, dignity and treated like he was one of the family. This gave us comfort to know that he was visibly enjoying living there. He was given a care plan that was specific to him and stimulated him, so he was able to enjoy life for as long as possible. The staff there were also so warm and welcoming to us, as a family and we were treated with so much respect. We were always kept up to date with what was happening and they were always there to help and advise us through his changing condition. I would totally recommend the Shrubbery.

Mam joined the care facility in September 2021. She had given up on life in general. It took her no time at all to settle in. She has improved beyond belief and now joins in, communicates, eats, has fun. But above all, I know she is safe and cared for. The staff I have come into contact with genuinely
care, are always respectful and are always there. It is clear that they have spent time with Mam, getting to know her and understanding her needs. They are always ready to assist with anything that Mam wants. If I need a care home in the future, I just hope it is of this standard.

My elderly friend who is suffering from dementia has been at The Shrubbery Rest Home for a little over a year. My friend is very relaxed and comfortable in the house and she is in better spirits and shows signs of great improvements since she has been a resident. I have found The Shrubbery Rest Home
to be a lovely residential home and the staff make great efforts in caring for and taking an interest in the individual residents' requirements. The manager is great and they lead their team well in delivering the high standards of care I have seen at first hand. I wouldn't hesitate in considering this home for close friends and family members in need of care and would happily recommend them.
Overall a very caring and professional home.

Our mother was quite difficult and confused when she first went into The Shrubbery for a 3-month temporary stay. She improved really well and her memory began to return. She had her favourites that looked after her. She was looked after very well and wanted to stay there. As a family, we had comfort
in knowing she was improving and was safe, and the very caring.

Current Review Score: 8.6 (8.580)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.580) out of 10 for The Shrubbery Rest Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.1 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 5 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 4.118 for The Shrubbery Rest Home is calculated as follows: ( (44 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 68 Ratings = 4.118

  • 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 4.462 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Shrubbery Rest Home is based on 5 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 = 3.5

    • 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 26 registered maximum number of service users is 5.2. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 5.2 = 0.962

  • 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.
