Our Mum has been living at Keate House for over two years and she calls it 'home'. It is home: her home, a home where the most wonderful, kind, and caring staff look after her with dignity, love, and professionalism.
She is safe and happy, eats well, and has lots of fun joining in with the many amazing
activities which are organised daily. We certainly could not have chosen a better place! Thank you to everyone there.

Reply from Andrew Jardine, Accounts Assistant at Keate House Residential Home

Thank you so much for your glowing review. We are always proud to care for all of our residents and are very proud of our activities team and how hard they work to provide stimulation for the residents. We are honoured to have your Mum staying with us and will always strive to do our best for her. Your feedback is invaluable and thank you for taking the time to do it.

My Mum has been living at Keate House for over two years. She's 97, with dementia and a bad leg, and it's a great relief to know she is in safe hands. Keate House is family-owned and run and the sole focus of all the staff is to make the residents' lives as good as possible. The whole atmosphere is
very different from the care home from the big chain that my aunt was in. There are lots of activities, of varied types, so that there's something for everybody despite their condition. I can go and visit any time, take her out around the village in the wheelchair or out in the car, and everybody is helpful and cooperative. They also understand the different ways dementia affects people, and whether a change is an expected progression or some unrelated infection that needs referring to the GP. We are so glad we found Keate House.

Reply from Andrew Jardine, Accounts Assistant at Keate House Residential Home

Thank you so much for your kind review, we are very proud of our atmosphere and the care with which we prioritise the safety and well-being of our residents. We love to take Mum out and have her join in any activities she wishes to and we are thrilled that you are so happy with the service we provide.

From the outset, everyone at Keate House has been understanding and friendly when dealing both with my mum, who suffers from dementia, and our family, who obviously want the best care possible in her time of need. Regular communication, ease of visiting, attention to detail, and quality surroundings,
all made possible by the wonderful staff, mean that I couldn't recommend anywhere better for my mum at this time in her life. It's also the little things, like the number of activities and stimulation that all the residents receive and the respect that each and everyone also gets, that means the environment, whilst challenging for the multiple needs of everyone concerned, is welcoming and run like a family home rather than a care establishment.

Reply from Andrew Jardine, Accounts Assistant at Keate House Residential Home

Thank you so much for your kind words, as always we are honoured to be caring for your mother and grateful for your continued trust and our joint efforts to ensure the best possible care and quality of life for her.

My uncle moved to Keate House in early June 2024. Everything about the experience has been fantastic. The carers are all so friendly. He is so well looked after. The food is lovely and he often says he has enjoyed it. There is plenty of entertainment for residents. He has visited the village and the
ice cream farm. The grounds are beautiful and very accessible. His room is great. Keate House just cannot do enough for the residents. My uncle has not stopped smiling since he arrived. Thank you for everything.

The staff at Keate are very kind, caring, and professional. Everyone has gone out of their way to ensure that Mum's transition to the home was as smooth and seamless as possible. Nothing has been too much trouble and the standard of communication between Keate, Mum, and us as relatives has been exemplary.
There
is absolutely nothing to fault in our experience so far. I feel confident that Mum is being very well cared for and that the staff at Keate are going out of their way to ensure that her needs are being met.

From the day my mother-in-law came to live at Keate House, she was looked after like a member of a family. All staff are so caring and made us feel so welcome. They treat everyone with such dignity and go the extra mile to ensure their residents are well cared for with activities taking place on a daily
basis keeping everyone included and active, including various outings in the in-house minibuses.
I would without question recommend Keate House, and having visited quite a few over the last twelve months I can certainly say this was the most outstanding in every area.

My Mum had to move into care home residency in early December 2023, and we were so very lucky to find Keate House.
From the first minute, and throughout the past few months, the quality of care and attention shone through always, right through the whole team.
On every visit, whichever team members
were present, there was an enthusiasm and passion for the care of residents, and often some form of activity supporting the camaraderie amongst all.
Keate House is a first rate care home, well managed, with superb carers throughout, a truly wonderful, lovely home, and without any hesitation can be highly recommended.

My mother-in-law is a resident at Keate House and has been for just over 2 years now. She moved across to Lymm from Lytham where she was extremely unhappy in the care home that she had recently moved into and has never looked back. The change in her since she was welcomed into Keate House is unbelievable.
The staff are not only kind, caring and considerate of her needs but they show a genuine interest in her and her life before Keate House. I know from discussions with staff when I visit that they engage with my Mother-in-law on a regular basis and know her personality, likes and dislikes which makes life for her there pleasurable. There are daily activities and crafts that she can join in with if she likes or she can have quiet time in her room and the lounge should she want company. I would not hesitate to recommend Keate House to anyone who finds themselves in the hard decision of having to find residential care for a loved one.

Keate House has been Mum’s home for the last eighteen months. My brother and I had done our best to keep her in her own home, but were struggling. The move was hard for all of us, however, over a short period of time we began to see Mum more relaxed, less anxious and happy in the company. The staff
put us at ease and gave us the confidence to ‘let go’ and pass responsibilities to them. Mum is really well cared for by people who care. The staff are responsive and respectful and are very keen to engage with families. The activities that they put on are great, you only have to check out the photos on their social media page. It has been a difficult few years, but having Mum so well looked after has meant I’ve been able to relax and really enjoy my time with her. I would highly recommend Keate House. As part of my job, I have experience of several care homes and Keate House knocks the socks off them all!

This home has cared for my mother for over six years. I am always impressed with their schedule of activities and the efforts they go to, to keep residents engaged. They were superb at maintaining standards during Covid and have snapped back into that mode straight away following a couple of cases recently.
Their video calls are a great way to keep in touch with relatives when either they or you are unwell for a face to face meeting.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.966)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.966) out of 10 for Keate House Residential 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 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.966 for Keate House Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (311 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 322 Ratings = 4.966

  • 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 Keate House Residential Home is based on 27 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 54 registered maximum number of service users is 10.8, which has been reached with 27 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.
