We had looked at a number of residential homes for our mother, Wordsworth House had the best atmosphere and all the team were very friendly from the start. We love the open plan aspect. The accommodation is always clean, without the ‘traditional’ smells that you associate with a care home. Most importantly
our mother is well cared for, enjoys the food and has settled in well. From being lonely, depressed, unkempt and not eating, she has returned to participating in conversations, being interested in the people around her and taking care of her appearance and her meals. No care home will be perfect as they cannot replicate the resident's home - and their home will always be where the heart is, but this home makes an effort to create a homely environment for all.

My wife was discharged from the hospital on the 29th of April 2021 to Wordsworth House for discharge to assessment. At the time she was refusing food, drink and medication. The assessment indicated that her Alzheimer's had become severe and that home care was not appropriate. She was admitted within
two days. The staff had her back on her feet, eating, drinking and taking her medication. I have total admiration for the staff, they are committed to the care of my wife and show her love within the limits of a care home. She is happy and content. Staff are truly dedicated and understanding.

I think that my experience at Wordsworth House over the six weeks I have stayed following discharge from hospital has been absolutely excellent. I would definitely come back if I needed to go into a carehome again. The meals are superb. I will miss the cooking from there. All the staff especially one
team member and the residents were excellent. I can't fault anything.

I have no issues to report regarding the home and communication is okay and staff are generally friendly and helpful. The room my dad has is a little tired and could do with modernising with more service-user friendly equipment. My dad feeds back to me that food isn't great and staffing levels need
to improve. However, I am not sure how accurate this is due to his health decline.

Whilst my mother has dementia, she is happy and loves her carers, also with her challenges, she is actively involved in social activities. My mother also has a good varied diet, again due to her illness, she is supported on a one to one basis at mealtimes. With her condition, she is treated with love,
support and dignity and comes across as happy.

My mum suffers from middle-stage Alzheimer's disease. She is unable to care for herself safely and so lived with me and my family following my dad's death. Recently, she had a stroke which took away all her mobility which subsequently meant I was no longer able to care for her in my home. I chose Wordsworth
House after viewing many residential homes. The home has a pleasant relaxing homely feel. I have no regrets over my choice. The last year has been very challenging with the lockdown. Fortunately, we had 3 or 4 weeks of daily visits with Mum before lockdown restrictions. During this time, I got to know some of the staff quite well. I found them all kind, friendly and genuinely caring for all their residents. To have Mum in residential care and feel that she is cared for with dignity, respect and compassion and is safe and well, means the world to me and my family.

My mum has been residing at Wordsworth House care home for 6 years. She has severe dementia and is cared for extremely well. I have always found staff members to be very caring and look after my mum so well, even when she doesn't make it easy for them. I haven't been able to physically see her in nearly
12 months but the staff have kept me informed of how she is doing. I can highly recommend this facility to anyone looking for dementia care.

My ratings say it all.
This care home has been a breath of fresh air for my father and our family.
It is light and airy with a warm welcoming feel about it in a lovely location.
The management and staff are extremely attentive and kind towards us all.
I cannot praise Wordsworth House enough.

My husband has had the best care anyone could expect in this lovely care home, Wordsworth House.
The love and care my husband gets is just wonderful.
My mother spent three years here at Wordsworth House, she too was happy here, just like my husband, the staff really make him so happy.
My husband
was at end of life when in hospital, we didn't want to lose him, the staff have got him back on his feet once again by feeding him and making sure his drinks are there and taking him into rooms etc including him in games.

My mother has been here 18 months and did respite for up to 3 years before. I have always been given full attention whenever I have come. Staff are always helpful, always say how she is doing.

Mum has been living here approx 9 weeks and seems to have adapted very well to her new environment. The staff have been very welcoming and the manager is very approachable. One of the considerations for mum was to be able to take her little dog with her, as they had never been separated in 10 years,
and this was considered carefully by the management and they now live together as though at home. One bonus is that the home is purpose built.

Current Review Score: 7.4 (7.375)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.4 (7.375) out of 10 for Wordsworth House Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 4.250 for Wordsworth House Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (5 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 4.25

  • 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 3.125 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Wordsworth House Care Centre is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 8 = 0.125

  • 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.
