Overall very satisfactory. Positives include care and affection from staff at the end. Negatives would be some agency staff not as helpful as permanents, and the food was sometimes disappointing. However allowance is given for the difficulties in operating during a Covid pandemic.
I would like to emphasise
the affection, love and dignity in the last few weeks exceeded what we could have hoped for.
Thank you Homewood.

My late mother was at MHA Homewood for two and a half years. During this time she received the highest level of care and compassion from the staff and at the end of her life was treated with respect and dignity. I would thoroughly recommend Homewood for the caring staff and lovely welcoming atmosphere.

My late mother was a resident of MHA Homewood for over 6 years. She was treated with dignity and respect, received excellent care and appreciated the many activities organised by the home. The care my mother received at her end of life was exceptional. MHA as an organisation navigated the pandemic well.
I would not hesitate to recommend Homewood.

I booked into Homewood on Thursday 30th December and was welcomed by a friendly care worker and given tea and biscuits. I was immediately struck by how clean and orderly the whole home was. This good initial impression being confirmed on being presented with a most comfortable room. Having now been
here for a week, I can truthfully say that the care and kindness I have received from all the staff has been exemplary. As someone who is recovering from severe clinical depression, I could not have found a better venue for respite care/.

My late mother received excellent care during the five and a half years she spent at Homewood. She settled in so well because of the friendly and supportive staff. She enjoyed the full and varied programme of activities immensely. She also very much appreciated the spiritual support provided by the
two successive chaplains she got to know so well. In the last few weeks of my mother’s life, the family were particularly impressed with the consideration, kindness, love and care expressed by the staff.

I am providing this based on admission and first ten days of stay; whilst both in-laws are in covid quarantine so some parts of the review are unknown as yet.
The staff are very attentive, helpful and caring towards visitors, family and the residents themselves and do everything to make the stay as
relaxing and rewarding as possible. They have already organised local occupational therapist, optician and medical support, and are happy to help however possible.
The place itself is clean and on admission were happy to work with us to get the right chairs, setup and cosiness for the in-laws which meant they felt immediately home from home. The 4G signal is not the best but that is not the home's fault, but there are ways to resolve this which they worked with us on.
First impressions are very positive.

Reply from James Falvey, Home Manager at Homewood

Thank you so much for your review and feedback on our home, we are very pleased that we have been able to aid in the admission process and look forward to a long and prosperous stay with us.

My wife became a resident 2 years ago when I went abroad for two weeks. Then her experience was so positive for that fortnight that when she needed to be cared for permanently, her family and I decided on Homewood. She has been in since the end of July 2020. During this time her physical condition and
confusion has deteriorated. She has had some falls and broken bones and is now bedridden. I see her daily and am very pleased with the care she receives.

Mum has been a resident at Homewood since August 2020. My opinion of Homewood is that it is a well-managed care home that endeavours to put the needs of each individual resident at the centre of the daily running of the home. All the staff interact in a meaningful way with residents. The rooms are comfortable
and well decorated. During the covid crisis, the home has managed to balance the conflicting needs of keeping residents safe with the benefits of keeping in contact with relatives by a variety of means.

My experience was very good considering the lockdown rules. My mum had a long telephone call prior to her admission asking all her needs, times of meals, food, showering which made her feel comfortable. I was able to bring her belongings before admission which made it less stressful for my mum.
All
the staff were very friendly, helpful and happy.
On the day of admission, they greeted her at the door which made her feel welcome. As she had to be in isolation for 2 weeks her television was instantly set up and her radio which was important. I have spoken to her she tells me the food is good, everyone is nice and she is now out doing activities. My mum seems very happy there. Thank you.

Mum went to Homewood in September 2018 until she passed away in May this year. The carers are exceptional and really looked after and understood Mum's needs and could usually make her smile. The activities and entertainment are really good and she took advantage of these most of the time. Unfortunately,
following Covid, she returned to the home for palliative care and it was so reassuring to know that she was in such good hands and that they really cared - we are very grateful for the support they gave to us as well at this awful time.

My mother was diagnosed with Covid-19 in May and was looked after in a caring and very professional manner. I have high praise for all the staff who have worked so hard and brought her through it. I was able to visit her this week (17th June) in the garden, which was wonderful and great to see her looking
happy and content. Thank you to all.

When the time came both my husband and I needed to sell our house as we required extra care I immediately thought of MHA as I'd visited the previous home and was impressed when the doctor in hospital suggested MHA I could have hugged him! and to think they actually got rooms.

We had to relocate our aunt from abroad following a bereavement. She was desperately upset at having to leave her home and memories but from the outset, the staff at Homewood have been wonderful. They helped her to settle, feel welcome and become part of the Homewood community.
We have been very impressed
with how they have continued to care during this difficult time, they have been professional but have taken the time to give a personal touch so that she hasn’t felt too isolated during lockdown.
Our aunt thanks us regularly for finding Homewood for her and we would happily choose it again if the need arose.

My mother has been a resident at Homewood since September 2019. The Home has many positives, an excellent location, spotlessly clean, tastefully furnished and lovely rooms. There is a tranquil and attractive garden and the communal areas offer a nice variety of options depending on what people want
to do. Good nutrition is clearly important and the food is excellent. The staff are all very caring, clearly well trained and highly motivated to do the best for all residents. The home runs a varied and full activities programme and outings, which even less able people (like my mother) were welcome and supported to attend. The quality of the staff was one of the main reasons Mum and I chose this home for her. This quality has been very apparent during the Covid-19 pandemic. The staff have kept cheerful and positive despite what must have been very difficult circumstances. It was nice to see that their employer clearly cares about them too as they had PPE. I would highly recommend Homewood.

Homewood has been absolutely brilliant since lockdown. We have been able to speak to mum, via the internet, every weekday. A particular member of staff has done a brilliant job setting this up and supporting mum when she has needed help understanding what is being said. We have been able to complete
a crossword or puzzle with mum every weekday. Mum looks as well now as she did at the beginning of lockdown. Homewood has just started well-supervised half-hour visits in the garden for one relative.
Mum has been a resident at the home for 6 years. She can still get around using her Zimmer and, thanks to a comprehensive programme of social activities prior to lockdown and regular online interaction during it, she has been able to keep mentally active. If we have ever had any concerns, Homewood has listened carefully and resolved the issue. A very big thank you to all the staff for their hard work, especially during the pandemic. I would not hesitate to recommend Homewood.

My mother reluctantly entered Homewood after a series of falls which left her unable to cope at home. The staff were amazing with her, laughing and joking with her whilst treating her with the utmost dignity. The kindness they showed to Mum was extended to the whole family, even arranging video calls
during the lockdown. The rooms are bright and kept immaculate, and all the washing and ironing was dealt with promptly. There was always a good choice of food on offer prepared to a high standard and a varied program of entertainment on offer. I will always be grateful for the care given during this awful virus from the staff, putting themselves in a vulnerable position to care for our loved ones. I would not hesitate to recommend this home to anyone as a real home from home.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.818)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.818) out of 10 for Homewood is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 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 4.818 for Homewood is calculated as follows: ( (159 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.818

  • 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 Homewood 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, 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.
