Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mum has only been a resident of the home since Monday 13th January 2025 as she has vascular dementia and was deemed not safe to remain at home even with carers 4 times daily.
She is still settling in at the home and is confused where she is and on occasion asks to go home.
The staff are all very
friendly and they encourage the residents to play games and the unit is securely locked at the front (as mum had started to wander from home.)
Mum has had a couple of eye medical issues which the team have addressed with the GP practice for the home and appropriate treatments applied.
I have only put satisfactory for food and drink as I cannot confirm what the meals are as I am not there at those times. I cannot believe they would not be very good. I have seen extra teas and drinks for residents and offered to guests at others times during the day.

We would like to thank all the staff for their kindness and compassion shown throughout my Dad's time at Nazareth House. We always felt included as a family in the many events and activities offered at the home - from the first friendly welcome upon arrival to the many days we visited. It was always
good to be greeted and talk with familiar staff who I felt really knew my dad and always anticipated his needs
We really appreciated that the staff always treated my Dad with respect and dignity, particularly in his last few days. I cannot speak highly enough of the way the staff also supported all of the family through this difficult sad time.

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback.We are always here to support you and the family anytime .you are always welcome to visit the home and I am pleased that you found Nazareth house a comfort to your dad.

All the staff are very friendly. They show compassion and empathy with their clients and have a high standard of care for everyone.
They are easily approachable, and answer any of my questions regarding my mum.
After taking my mum back to the home following a short break, she stated that it was
lovely to be back home with my friends.
I think that says what an amazing care home Nazareth House is.

My friend lives in Nazareth House Northampton. He has been here for over 3 years. He seems very happy there. Occasionally he complains about the food and as he is Chinese the food is not always to his liking. In my observation sometimes my friend's bedroom is not always as clean as normal. Staff shortage?

From the moment you step inside you are welcomed by friendly members of a well-organised team. A warm welcome, nothing seems to be too much trouble, all very professional. Nice decor, pleasant smells and very clean from front door to my family members room. The team moved around to suit the family's
needs. The support staff must work very hard to maintain such standards of hygiene and safety for the residents. They go above and beyond to ensure each individual's needs are met, all delivered with kind words and a sense of humour when needed. They have a hairdresser on site, provide a chiropodist and most important the GP calls every week to ensure medical help if needed. To keep entertained an activities coordinator has a programme of activities! Forgot to say the catering staff do a wonderful job.

When my friend moved into the home he found it very difficult as he had lived on his own for a number of years. But with the help of the home staff, he settled very well with their support. He now enjoys taking part in the home's activities and going to Church. As a visitor, I have always found the
staff very welcoming of me, with my friend's medical condition changing the home always makes changes to meet his requirements.

I always find when I visit the home is calm, it is very clean and staff are always very helpful, I'm always offered a drink when I visit and never heard of any concerns or complaints.
There always seem to be fun things for the residents to be doing and with local community help also which I think is
very important.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.905)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.905) out of 10 for Nazareth House - Northampton 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 45 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 45 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 4.905 for Nazareth House - Northampton is calculated as follows: ( (478 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 525 Ratings = 4.905

  • 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 Nazareth House - Northampton is based on 45 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 45 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.
