In her short time at Littleborough Home for the Elderly, the care our mum received was outstanding from every member of staff. Our family will be forever grateful for the kindness, empathy and compassion shown towards us and our mum during her end-of-life care. An excellent care home, with wonderful
staff.

I cannot express how much I am grateful to the team at Littleborough Care Home. They supported me through moving my grandmother from another home. They provided advice and support above and beyond what I would have expected. Upon arrival, the staff were just fantastic, they welcomed my grandmother into
their family. Unfortunately, my grandmother passed away after just four months, but in the time she was at the home she thrived. The love, care, attention, dignity and respect shown to her just went to show I had made the right decision to move her there. The staff are amazing and each room is lovely and kept to a high standard. The communal areas are open and welcoming and there is a buzz about the place. When it came to end-of-life, they were respectful, and supportive, and showed real compassion and support at what was a very difficult time. To the very end and beyond, my grandmother and myself were treated with dignity, love and respect. I would recommend the home to anyone.

This is a great home as staff really care about the resident's health and well-being. My dad spent the last two years of his life here (he sadly passed two weeks ago) and it was so reassuring to know that the staff loved and cared for him and kept him safe and happy. Staff took the time to get to know
him, and were very patient, so they were able to keep him calm and happy regardless of his wandering, loss of ability to communicate meaningfully, and other issues. His health was closely monitored, and conditions very well managed, and I could relax knowing that if anything was wrong I would get a call immediately. The home is clean and safe for those who like to wander and have dementia or similar conditions.

Reply from Francesca Hawley, Area Manager at Littleborough Home for the Elderly

Thank you for your kind words, your dad was a lovely gentle person with an infectious smile who will be sadly missed.

Very happy with the service these fabulous carers provide. Being a small care home means that the staff and residents get to know each other well which is a positive help. Particularly with the dementia residents.

Reply from Francesca Hawley, Area Manager at Littleborough Home for the Elderly

Thank you for your kind review, we love that our home is small so we can spend more time with our residents. So happy to be open and seeing all our families in the home again!

I can't praise the staff enough for their kindness, care and support to both my Grandma and the family. Following a fall and serious illness, she was sadly sent home for palliative care, but they have continued with dignity and utmost respect.

My mother-in-law came to this care home following a fall and illness. I cannot fault the care and attention she has received from all staff members. I am always kept up to date on her wellbeing by the management team. The care she receives is to the highest standards and gives her the dignity she deserves.

My mum came to the home very suddenly after an accident at her sheltered housing, for her own safety. Since she arrived she has gone from strength to strength. She is eating well and put weight on, is so much happier, socialising and getting involved in activities. The staff have been amazing, caring
for her and catering to all her needs. They are kind and caring, and have really go to know my mum as an individual, not just as a resident. Overall, really, really happy.

My mum was in hospital and could no longer cope at home and needed specialist care. The hospital social services found the home and my mum came in just before Christmas. I must say that during her time here I cannot find anything wrong with the home. My mum is getting the care she needs and that is
a great relief to me knowing she is being cared for. I would have no problem in recommending the home to anyone that needs a family member looking after.

The staff are warm, friendly and treat mum kindly and with humour. Mum's health is well monitored and appropriate medical staff are always contacted if there's any doubt. Mum had c-diff in the past and had to be in her room for 6-8 weeks and she never got a bedsore and the staff treated her with dignity
and empathy throughout. Mum enjoys the staff contact, the food and the view from her room.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.782)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.782) out of 10 for Littleborough Home for the Elderly is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 4 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 4.638 for Littleborough Home for the Elderly is calculated as follows: ( (37 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 47 Ratings = 4.638

  • 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 4.144 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Littleborough Home for the Elderly is based on 4 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 = 3.375

    • 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 26 registered maximum number of service users is 5.2. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 5.2 = 0.769

  • 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.
