I cannot thank the management and staff enough for what they do for my mum. All the staff care and it shows; they are very attentive to all residents in their care. I have no doubt that my mum wouldn't be around if she wasn't in the Nightingale. The activities they do are amazing; the lady does a fantastic
job and keeps their spirits up. I have no worries or concerns about my mum when she is here. I would definitely recommend this care home; they are amazing. Well done to the manager and her team.

Reply from Julie Wright, Manager at Nightingale

This lady is a pleasure to live with, makes our job easy when relatives are so kind and considerate. Many thanks for the review comments.

Our Mum moved into Nightingale in December 2019 after almost a year on the waiting list, we received regular calls whenever a room became available whilst we waited, until we could no longer meet her increasing needs due Alzheimer's Dementia. Mum settled in remarkably quickly and we were encouraged
to visit whenever we wanted and for as long as we liked. After only ten weeks in her new home, Covid-19 hit but despite these extraordinary circumstances, Mum has remained happy, healthy and thrived even, despite being unable to see her family for long periods of time and that is entirely due to the outstanding dedication and commitment of the entire team at the very worst of times. We have no hesitation in saying that in our opinion, Nightingale is that special place that families like us seek for their loved one, a true home from home, with people who genuinely care.

I had to make the decision to place my mum who has alzheimers into a care home due to being unable to look after herself in her own home even though she had carers 3 times a day.
Since she has been a resident at Nightingale she is now much healthier and happier than she was in her own home. She
is well looked after and is much better that she has been for a number of years.
The staff and all very caring and helpful and I am able to rest knowing the she is being well looked after is safe and secure.

Our mum is cared for with compassion, dignity and respect from all members of staff and her well being has improved immensely. We have experienced second to none communication from management and all staff throughout and we feel this demonstrates good leadership and teamwork within the home. Nightingale
has a strong feeling of community spirit and inclusion for all residents. The well-planned activities are extremely good and very person-centred with many choices available and has proved to be a positive outcome for our mum. We always experience staff as very welcoming when visiting mum and so caring with all the residents. The food is very good and varied which has improved mums appetite much to our delight. Overall our mum is happy, settled and always smiling which is a testament to the care she receives and this makes us very happy. We as a family have no hesitation in recommending Nightingale for your loved one.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Our father became a resident in Nightingale following my mother's passing and after a decline in his health. He was living there for just over 15 months until his passing in December. In that time, dad was well looked after, and after some time to adjust, he settled in well. He was reluctant to leave
his room but over time, with support and encouragement from the team of staff, he started to socialise with the staff and some of the residents. Dad came out of his shell and reverted back to the dad we remember, a friendly, cheeky dad.
All of this is thanks to the staff at Nightingale, they, in turn, became part of dads family. We can't thank the staff enough for their help, support and hard work looking after not only our dad but the other residents too. They all do an amazing job. We would be more than happy to recommend Nightingale to anyone needing care.

Since Mum moved in her overall health has improved, she has gained weight and is looking much better.


The carers and management take the time to get to know each resident well and always find time to chat or engage in activities with them. The carers treat the residents with dignity and love and

Mum always appears well cared for. There are lots of activities and outings arranged for the residents and their health is well looked after by the doctor/chiropodist etc.

I feel really happy that my mother is in Nightingale care home. She is really cared for by the staff that are true carers and really do care. The staff know all individuals very well, they are consistent (not always having, new staff members) which I feel works very well for my mother and others support
needs. Nothing is ever too much for the staff and management they are all approachable and always willing to listen and help. Because my mother is cared for really well I feel relaxed I enjoy my visits to see my mother. I cannot praise the care home or staff enough for looking after my mother well.

Mum quickly settled into this care home. The staff are friendly, kind and caring. Every effort is made to ensure mum is happy there. There is a good programme of activities which mum takes part in even though she was reluctant to do these things when living at home. We are very pleased with the standard

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

The care and compassion shown to residents by all staff are second to none. Staff take the time and trouble to really get to know the residents and are attentive to their individual needs. They treat residents with dignity and respect and do their very best to engage them in conversation and the many
diverse activities on offer. There is a strong sense of community at Nightingale. As well as the friendliness of the staff, the atmosphere and decor give a sense of a family home rather than a care home. Visitors are made to feel welcome at any time of day. No matter how busy staff are, they always make time to talk to family members and address any concerns they may have. The home always appears well staffed, and I feel confident about Mum's safety. Mum's dietary needs are well catered for, and she always looks smart and well cared for. The communal areas and Mum's room are always spotless. Overall I am delighted with the care received by Mum.

On my visit to review the care plan and visit my relative, I was greeted and updated on developments by friendly informative staff. There were signs of decor being cared for in the form of fresh paintwork.
The private meeting was well organised and a good opportunity to talk over care with the doctor.

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.
