All management and staff at the care home are very polite friendly and professional. I can visit my father whenever I want but I avoid mealtimes as I want my dad to socialise with his friends. My dad always looks very clean and cared for and I know by looking at him his clothes are washed and clean.
The residents have a constant supply of drink and snacks and their meals always look very healthy and well-balanced. I'm extremely happy with the care my dad receives from the home.

Reply from Home Manager, Home Manager at Mount Pleasant Care Home

Thank you so much for your fantastic feedback, we're delighted that you feel your dad is receiving the care and attention he deserves and we're so happy to see him enjoying socialising with his friends! We appreciate your kind comments about the high standards of cleanliness, comfort, health and nutrition for our residents.

Outstanding care home who go above and beyond for our grandad. Nothing is to much and they are just FANTASTIC.

All of the staff are very pleasant, use the person's name at all times. The staff try to engage with the person to either chat or join in activities. Rooms are clean and tidy. We were able to personalise the room with pictures which made it more homely. When my husband fell ill there were full notes
explaining all actions taken, including offering food and/or drinks and whether they were accepted.

My mom moved into Mount Pleasant approximately 6 weeks ago and from the start the staff have been polite and helpful to mom. She has vascular dementia and a rare illness that affects her mobility, spacial awareness and her ability to hold items steadily. She’s still going through a period of settling
in but the manager is working with us to find out how she can help. I love that the home has daily activities, a fabulous activities programme and the residents are actively encouraged to participate.
I am comforted by the fact that the manager actively asks me regularly if I have any concerns. That openness is great.
Where there have been concerns, as there is with anyone moving to a new environment, they have been addressed and dealt with.

Well on arrival I didn't know what to expect, shocked was my first thought and going into the resident's room my jaw dropped to the floor. It was extremely dirty. I walked into the en-suite and thought oh my days. I proceeded to clean it myself, the person I was visiting was just lying on the bed, and
her sandwiches which obviously was her tea were just left on the side. As this resident in my eyes should be assisted fed was just left to her own devices. Her personal hygiene was very poor and was in desperate need of a bath, the wooden flooring was absolutely filthy. Her bed was so old and as I sat on it was very uncomfortable. I have grave concerns over the care of this individual who is a paying relative. My rating would be 0 if that choice was available.

My overall opinion of MPCH is very good, the staff are wonderful and very helpful and nothing is too much trouble for them. Everybody is very polite and professional, my only concerns are as follows:
1) I would like to see my mum in a more comfortable chair instead of being in a wheelchair when I visit
- she won't say that she is uncomfortable but I know she is.
2) My mum would love to have her hair done more often.
3) There is always an alarm sounding - why can't it be silenced more often?

Moved Mum into the home in October and she settled within two weeks, mainly I think due to the very friendly atmosphere in the home. Encouragement to join in and chatter with people was a huge part of this and currently, I am delighted with the place.

I find the staff very pleasant and I find that nothing is too much trouble! The food is catered for my needs and my clothes are washed and put away for me. My room is outstanding and even the TV is fixed as soon as you say and that can be said for most things. Very good reception on arrival.

I have my dear friend in this home since November 2022. The carers as well as the manager are very kind and caring. They look after my friend very well and respond to any emergency if it comes. The food is very good and they take the residents for outings.

My mother in law has Vascular dementia and Moderate Alzheimer’s and has been struggling at home especially at night becoming agitated and upset thinking people are breaking in. The care company were not providing her with the care she needed. My husband and I were very worried and quite stressed with
the situation. The manager of Mount Pleasant Care Home was absolutely amazing and supported her and us before and during her first week's respite in February, which enabled my husband and I to go on holiday. She was so warmly welcomed and she absolutely loved her time in the home. It was wonderful to see her laughing and socialising she actually got her sparkle back, amazing. When she returned home she really struggled and over the following two weeks, she became more agitated and upset resulting in several calls to social care, the police and ambulance service. She is now living full time at Mount Pleasant where she is happy and safe. Thanks so much to the manager and her amazing team.

Reply from Home Manager at Mount Pleasant Care Home

Thank you for sharing your experience with Mount Pleasant, Tracy. It's heartening to hear that we are able to provide such excellent care and support to your mother-in-law, particularly during her first week's respite and then able to welcome her into full time care with us. It's important for those with dementia to be in an environment where they feel comfortable and cared for and it sounds like Mount Pleasant has provided that for your mother-in-law. Thank you again for sharing your positive experience. Your comments have been passed to the team.

Dad is well cared for and fed well. The staff are always cheerful, helpful and friendly. Dad is settling in well and is encouraged to participate in activities. Dad is allowed to chill and take his time getting up and dressed, help is available but independence is encouraged, no rigid routines, so more
homely. As his daughter, I am always treated with respect and friendliness by all staff.

After several years of border closures, I was able to visit my mother at Mount Pleasant - the staff greeted me so warmly and made sure I was fully prepared for our reunion as her dementia has progressed. Mum's room is homely and airy with special considerations given for her continuing comfort and well-being
as an elderly and frail lady - all the staff were so kind and respectful towards her and made sure all her needs were met - she looked so clean comfortable and peaceful - the dedicated carers always ensured she was well nourished engaged her in conversation and treated her with dignity. Everyone works so well as a team together to bring love light and laughter to the residents.
Special mentions to the activities coordinator for well-devised and individualised sensory care and the manager who runs Mount Pleasant efficiently across all the aspects of health care - she went out of her way to make sure my time with Mum was effortless and easy to arrange - thank you!

My dad has been in the home for several months now and the care that he has received has been second to none. The home is so professional and have supported the family from day one. When Dad arrived at the home, he was unable to walk and through support and dedication, he is now walking again. Cannot
thank the home enough. Dad is very happy and settled. Many thanks.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.542)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.542) out of 10 for Mount Pleasant Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.542 for Mount Pleasant Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (114 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (2 Poors x 2) + (9 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 153 Ratings = 4.542

  • 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 Mount Pleasant Care Home is based on 12 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 12 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.
