We specialise in dementia care and our aim is to provide a safe, dignified, and homely environment which promotes well-being in our residents. We follow the principles of person-centred care, seeing each resident as an individual with unique qualities, interests, preferences, and needs rather than simply focussing on their illness or abilities that they may have lost. Fee rates will also be calculated depending on the care needs of the resident.
Please keep in mind that we are a Residential Care Home rather than a Nursing Home.
Open visiting. However it is preferred that visitors avoid mealtimes, unless joining relatives.
On-site parking, but parking is also available on the road for an hour, or longer with a parking permit, available from the main reception on Westfield Drive.
Abbeyfield Loughborough has a Review Score of 9.3 (9.306) out of 10, based on 10 reviews in the last 2 years. Over all time Abbeyfield Loughborough has 24 reviews.

Thank you for taking the time to review our care home. We are pleased to hear that your mum and the family had such a positive experience with us. End of life care can be so distressing for all, and we try to make the experience as comfortable as possible for all concerned. Your mum was very much loved by the staff.

Thank you for taking the time to review our home. We are pleased to hear that you and your mum had a good experience while at the home. Thankfully we have now fully recruited into our care hours and so agency use is very minimal and our new activities lead has taken the team from strength to strength, delivering person-centred activities for all our residents.

Thank you for taking the time to review your experience at Ingleside House. We are sorry and surprised to hear of the issues you have raised here as no concerns were raised during your mother's stay with us and you reported that you were very happy with her stay. We are continually making improvements to the environment, with work starting this month on a new sensory room and cafe room. We have had a recruitment drive and now have our own permanent staff covering the vast majority of our shifts. We are pleased to see that your overall experience was 4/5. If you would like to discuss the issues you have raised, please get in touch with our management team who will be very happy to meet with you. We want all residents and families, past and present, to have the best experience in our care home.

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.306) out of 10 for Abbeyfield Loughborough 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.525 for Abbeyfield Loughborough is calculated as follows: ( (76 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.525
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 4.781 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Abbeyfield Loughborough is based on 10 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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.8 = 0.781
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.
