I visit my good friend and ex-neighbour at Nightingale at least once a week. I find the staff very helpful and friendly, plus they are always caring to the residents and look after them well.

I just want to say a big thank you to all the team for looking after my mum (who is a resident) so well. In a way, they also look after my dad who visits my mum daily. They make a painful experience of seeing my mum (or in my dad's case, his wife), slightly less painful because of the love that exudes
from every staff member. My mum was in another care home where staff sat looking at their phones and did the very basics. Well not at Nightingales, it is a superb example of putting the time and resources where it matters. It's a horrible horrible heartbreaking feeling when placing your loved ones into care but the love and care shown by everyone really helps to reassure you. When I visit, I see a lot of what is happening as the team goes about their work and I feel humbled by the care, love and no little humour that is given to everyone. Thank you very much.

We had to move my mother-in-law to Nightingales when the home she had been in said they could no longer meet her needs (she was having frequent falls). From the second I set foot in the communal area, I knew that Nightingales was the right place for her. There is always a lovely atmosphere and you are
welcomed whenever you visit (I inadvertently arrived at dinner time one day which I thought would be a problem but I was welcomed as normal). There are frequent activities both on-site and off. My mother-in-law received more stimulation in her first week at Nightingales than she had in the months she had been in the other. The biggest asset of the home though is the staff. The manager and deputy manager lead by example and the interactions and conversations between the staff and residents are heartwarming. You can tell they all know each resident really well and that they genuinely care. There is always laughter. Nothing is a problem or a hassle. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

All staff are caring and kind and the home is warm and inviting. There are plenty of activities organised for the residents who are encouraged to be as independent as possible. I feel that my father is being looked after very well at Nightingale Care Home.

Nightingale has a warm, friendly, welcoming environment. The staff are respectful, caring and helpful. It is good to see the management team being involved with hands-on care and supporting their staff. We are kept very well informed about all aspects of care. I am very pleased with the care and attention
my mum receives. I have already recommended Nightingale to others. My mum often remarks how lovely the staff are. I wouldn't want her to be a resident anywhere else. We are very lucky.

Nightingale is a very relaxed and friendly place to visit. The staff are amazing to the residents. They engage the residents with numerous activities, and there is always something to look forward to. The care home is well maintained and is always clean. I know when I leave after a visit that my mother
is in a safe and loving place.

We visit regularly, and the residents always appear happy, content and well cared for. We are pleased with the facilities and the entertainment package, (although currently restricted), is very good and residents are always encouraged to participate. Carers are friendly and very caring and are clearly
dedicated to the job.

Nightingale‘s was recommended to me by a friend and I struck gold with this place. If you read the Care Quality Commission report you will see what an outstanding impression the leadership made on the inspectors. It was obvious as soon as we met the carers that this was a well-run place where the carers
think highly of the management and said it was a good place to work. That is so important in a care home, to make sure that the staff remain motivated. We didn’t ask mum how well the carers were doing, but every time we went to see her she always said how lovely the staff were to her. This is the most important thing when you’re looking for a care home. Forget about wonderful reception areas and Louis the 16th furniture to impress the relatives, find a place where the staff really love their patients and this is one of those rare places. Many places we contacted explained that they did not want dementia cases. Nightingales is the opposite and welcome and love everyone.

My mum joined Nightingale Care Home several years ago as an emergency admission. On that day, the manager dropped everything and drove over to my mum's house (which is miles away) to meet my mum and arrange the admission so that my mum would be safe. That should give you an idea of the ethos that underlies
everything about this Care Home. All the staff go way above and beyond to put the needs of the residents first. There are always activities going on that people can interact with (or not!) as they choose. Staff are always laughing and chatting with residents and visitors alike. Whenever I visit, I am always welcomed like one of the family and it's great that my small dog can come along and be fussed by the residents and staff. The Home has always kept me well informed and up to date with anything to do with my mum's care. I cannot recommend this Home enough and I am so glad that my mum ended up at Nightingale. The place and staff have been a Godsend.

My mum has been very happy since she has been living at Nightingale care home. The staff are very caring, helpful and efficient and nothing is too much trouble for them. My mum is well looked after and is healthier and happier now than she was before she went there as she now has lots of company and
stimulation due to the activities there. The staff are very caring towards her and keep her safe and happy and consider all her needs.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.885)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.885) out of 10 for Nightingale is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.885 for Nightingale is calculated as follows: ( (232 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 262 Ratings = 4.885

  • 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 Nightingale is based on 22 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 22 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.
