Prospect House Care Home is a warm and homely accommodation based in the heart of Cudworth, staffed by a team of skilled professionals who are qualified to help adults diagnosed with dementia. They have a low turnover of staff with over 50% having served the home for over 10 years.

Understanding the sensitive mental health that adults with dementia develop, carers are skilled in helping clients to live with and overcome many of the issues that would stop them from being independent, with visiting loved ones able to see the benefits.

Both long and short-term care packages are welcomed, with visits by local entertainers making a welcomed contribution to the home's activities programme.

Prospect House is absolutely fantastic. I can't speak highly enough about the manager and staff. My Father was looked after by them right up to his death on 17/10/24. In this time he was looked after and cared for by the staff. Myself and my siblings were also looked after and kept in the loop at all
times.
I would like to thank all the staff for their kind words and the help they gave us during this sad time.

The manager and staff have bent over backward to help Mum settle in. She often comments on their kindness. They've also gone to great lengths to help my sister and I accept that we are doing the right thing for her. Mum is happy and settled at Prospect House. Thank you for all that you do for our Mum.

This very pleasant care home seems to be well managed with good attentive friendly staff. The decor is in need of a touch-up but otherwise OK. My mother-in-law has only been a recent resident after a hospital visit but has settled in better than expected.

A few staff on first impressions were slightly unapproachable, but the more we visited the more the general friendliness showed through. My uncle is quite a private person and can be quiet until he gets to know people, but he seems to be quite at home and 90% of the time all he talks about is how good
the meals are. So overall experience good.

My dad had been a resident at Prospect House for almost 4 years when he passed away in December 2021. From the start, the staff were amazing. They reassured me that I had done the right thing by placing my dad into their care as I felt extremely guilty. I always said that I would never put either of
my parents in a care home but dementia is cruel and so very difficult to manage when you are trying to cope alone. Throughout my dad's stay, the carers were amazing. The staffing seemed stable as it was always the same familiar faces I saw. My dad was treated with care and compassion throughout his stay at Prospect House and I would not hesitate to recommend this care home to anyone who is looking for residential care for a relative with dementia.

Reply from Billy Dulay, Director at Prospect House Care Home

I'll pass your kind words onto the staff, it was a pleasure looking after your Dad. Thank you.

I would like to thank the manager and the staff at Prospect House for the care and compassion they showed to my Mum, my brother, sister and I during what has been a very difficult three months. My Mum had been a resident at Prospect House since May 2018 as she had severe dementia; a terrible, cruel
disease. At the beginning of March, it was determined that she was classed as 'end of life' which meant that we could visit her daily (wearing appropriate Personal Protective Equipment - PPE). After 14 weeks of battling, Mum passed away on the 10th of June 2021. On that day, and during all the time we were visiting, the staff showed nothing but professionalism and respect for us all. They allowed us as much time as we needed with Mum and I feel privileged to be with her when she died. I have no hesitation in recommending Prospect House to anyone who is considering a care home for a loved one.

Thank you, Karen, for your kind words; I will pass them onto the staff.

The manager and staff at Prospect House provide an excellent service. They all cater for all my mother's needs and give her the care she requires. I am constantly being updated by the staff regarding my mother's health and wellbeing. I am content in the thought my mother is getting well looked after
and is in a safe and loving environment.

Excellent care for my mum over the last 3 years. Dad was here too, he loved it and he loved the staff. Would definitely recommend. Mum, and dad, when he was here, are treated like family by the staff.

I just want to thank everyone who cared for my mother in her last year of life,she sadly passed away 25th November. They cared for her with love, compassion and dignity. My family and I knew that we could relax knowing about the exceptional care she received that went above and beyond our expectations.
I can't really praise this home and staff enough, so a big big thank you for all who cared for this much-loved member of our family.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.844)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.844) out of 10 for Prospect House Care Home 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 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 5 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 4.586 for Prospect House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (34 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 58 Ratings = 4.586

  • 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 4.258 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Prospect House Care Home is based on 5 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 = 3.5

    • 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 33 registered maximum number of service users is 6.6. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 6.6 = 0.758

  • 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.
