My mother stayed at Tasker House Care Home for a week of respite care. We visited other homes and were immediately struck that there was something special about this place. The staff were genuinely interested to know all the details of my mother's routine to make her stay there as undisruptive as possible.
Everyone we met was extremely kind and clearly cared about the residents. My mother much enjoyed her stay, in fact was reluctant to leave when the time came. We will definitely consider Tasker House as a permanent place for her in the future if her circumstances or care needs change.

Tasker House Care Home is a care home like no other. The kindness and care given by all members of staff is fantastic. Nothing appears to be too much trouble. They welcome family always with a kind word, smile and a cup of tea! I am kept up to date with any problems dad may have from falls to doctor
appointments. During February it was dads birthday and they went above and beyond making it his special day. He had a cake made for him and a special birthday tea. I love dad being there as I know he is safer and well looked after. Such a special place!

My mother has been a resident in Tasker House Care Home in Wellingborough for a number of years. Her needs have increased to now now she is bedbound and unable to speak. The staff and manager are fantastic with her. She is very well looked after and has never even had a bedsore. The turnaround in staff
is minimal, which is excellent as Mum does not like strangers and will not take food for any unfamiliar faces. This was proved on a short stay in hospital. I would highly recommend this care home.

Reply from Bala Balendra, Director at Tasker House Care Home

Thank you for your wonderful review of us, Denise! We are so happy you are happy with the care we give to your mum. If there is anything more we can do, please let us know.

My mother went into care at Tasker House in October last year. A huge decision for us to take but we instantly knew we had made the right choice. All the staff are so wonderful, happy, caring and nothing is too much trouble. The home is warm, welcoming and comfortable with endless hospitality for residents
and visitors. You are always kept fully informed of progress and care needs. My Mum has been extremely happy and settled there. She feels completely safe. I would highly recommend this care home.

My dad spent three years at Tasker House and prior to that my mum was a resident. Every minute of every day, the care they received was exceptional.
The staff go above and beyond and you are made to feel welcome at any time.
The whole ambience of the place is one of friendliness and kindness with
all residents being treated with respect and they see Tasker House as their home.
I would like to say that in my honest opinion, you would not find a more professional, friendly caring team anywhere else.

Reply from Bala Balendra, Director at Tasker House Care Home

Thank you so much for your kind words, Elaine. We have loved having the opportunity to care for both your mum and dad. If there is anything else we can do, please let us know!

We have had the pleasure of being involved with Tasker House since 2016 when my nana was a resident, and more recently my papa. The manager and all the staff are angels on earth. They're friendly, welcoming and warm to residents and families. They have a fabulous activities programme and care for the
residents with the utmost care and respect. We are so thankful for the amazing support they gave our family through good and bad times. I cannot credit this home enough. It is a wonderful, safe, homely and caring place. I would absolutely recommend these guys to anyone needing care for a loved one.

Thank you for your wonderful review of us, Jessica! We love hearing feedback and we are so glad you are happy with the care we have given to your grandparents. If there is anything more we can do for you, please let us know.

Tasker House Care Home is a well-run, friendly home. My mum has lived at Tasker House for nearly two years and is very settled there. The staff are friendly, approachable and nothing is too much trouble. Mum has been welcomed and received excellent care.

Fantastic place.
My sister and I can't fault the care our father received here. The care manager is the most empathetic person I've come across and genuinely went above and beyond the call of duty to help him. She even spent her time researching his condition. He has now moved to a nursing home as
the deterioration of his condition meant that residential care was no longer appropriate. We received all possible support to find a suitable new home for him.
If your loved one is offered a place here, you and they are extremely lucky.
Regular telephone updates become a form of psychotherapy for the whole family. While our mother was alive, I know she loved the chance for a chat during the worst of lockdown when we couldn't visit her.
We are so grateful our father was placed here following discharge from the hospital.

My sister and I needed to find my mother a care home quite quickly, and I was greeted with a friendly face and have never looked back.
Her room is furnished with all her pictures and treasurers, and she is very content. Everyone from management, carers, cleaners, activity coordinator, cook are fabulous,
and there is always a cup of tea on hand when you visit. Nothing is too much trouble.
All residents are made a fuss of especially when it is a residents birthday. They have summer fetes to raise funds for outings, and their Christmas party is always a must. My mum also joins in all activities, she has her hair done on a weekly basis, and chiropodist visits every six weeks. They have musicians that visit, armchair keep fit, and a lovely lady who talks about the old days. Everyone is available to talk to if you have any concerns. Their care is outstanding as the CQC report will confirm. My mother is now safe, which is paramount to myself and my sisters.

Having suffered a fall in July 2018, my mother became a resident in the October. From my first visit to view Tasker House, I knew my mother would be well cared for. She settled in quickly referring to it as home. The staff were amazing regarding her medical care, especially when she started to spend
more time in bed due to a decline in her health. Prior to that my mother took part in group activities in the lounge from sing-alongs to animal bingo. The home organises a number of events throughout the year some of which my mother participated in.
I cannot praise the staff highly enough. Whenever I phoned I felt I was speaking to a family member as they were always able to tell me what mum was up to. Very comforting as I live far away.
Sadly my mother passed away earlier this month, I can console myself in the knowledge that she spent the last fourteen months in comfort and was fully cared for.

My father suffers from dementia and has been at Tasker House for about 3 months. In the time I have been visiting, I have found all of the staff to be friendly and considerate towards all of the residents. They are really kind to dad, never lose patience with him and his general well-being and health
have improved noticeably in the time he has been there. No recurrence of the various ailments he was beginning to suffer from when he lived alone and which were resulting in hospital stays. I have been advised if he has had a cold and on this occasion, they arranged for his chest to be checked by a doctor in case of infection. I am quite confident he is in safe hands now.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.557)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.557) out of 10 for Tasker House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 6 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 4.957 for Tasker House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (67 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 70 Ratings = 4.957

  • 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 4.6 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tasker House Care Home is based on 6 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 = 3.6

    • 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 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6, which has been reached with 6 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.
