My mum recently moved into Normanby House on the 1st of October. We were made to feel very welcome in the relaxed environment. It is very accommodating with flexible visiting. My mum's room is clean and comfortable, the staff do an amazing job and I'm confident that my mum will get the care she requires.

It was difficult to say the least to have to realise that my Mum needed more care than I could give, but I was so glad that Normanby House, which my research had shown me was the best choice, was able to find a place when we really needed it. I'm in a good position to do a review now as I'm there every
day, and have got to know the excellent and lovely staff as they've got to know Mum, and I can see that they're taking great care to do the best for her. The manager and her deputy are diamonds, anything is actioned without fuss. I'm never made to feel I'm in the way, quite the opposite, no matter how busy all the staff are. Always welcoming. Very clean everywhere, and all up to spec., a lot of attention is paid to make a good and safe environment. The food is excellent, a great chef and kitchen team. I've always been impressed with the way St. Cecilia's group go out of their way to attract the best staff and run their homes, so I'm glad I was right!

I looked at many care homes in Scarborough before choosing Normanby House as the most suitable for Mum. She is well cared for by all members of staff, who treat Mum as an individual and treat her with kindness and respect. The staff have taken the time to learn about Mum and what they can do to make
her feel more settled and relaxed. I visit the home most days and am always impressed by the staff, who are friendly, well motivated and seem happy in their work. The staff are patient and gentle with residents, speaking with respect and taking time to find out what they can do to help. From housekeeping, catering, care workers, activity and management team, they make me feel welcome when I visit and if I mention something, however small, I am confident that it is actioned without delay. It was very emotional reaching the decision to place Mum in a care home, but I felt well supported and guided throughout the process.

Used Normanby House for three weeks respite for Mum who is 83 with Alzheimer's. Staff were friendly, helpful, happy and looked after Mum well. The Manager was very informative and assisted me with any questions I had and ensured Mum settled in. Would definitely use Normanby House again.

I am so impressed with the care my Mum receives, from my first contact with the home till now they have been wonderful. My Mum is so well cared for in a lovely environment, she takes trips out which she enjoys and there are lots of activities happening for her to be a part of. She always looks lovely
with her hair done and often has her nails painted. She has only gone there recently but has settled in really well, she is always treated with dignity and respect by the staff. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this home for your loved one.

Staff at Normanby House always gave Dad the dignity and care he needed. Normanby House is more than a care home, it is a family. The rooms are very clean and welcoming. Chef went out of his way to cook Dad the food he would eat.

Staff made sure it was safe for us to visit the home, as it has been such a long time since we could see each other face to face and not through the glass door, the safety of the resident is the most important issue. Thank you for the care you give them.

My mum was a resident of Normanby House for nearly three years and sadly died 18 months ago but they took such good care of her. I visit another resident there each week as the home is so welcoming and has done the most amazing job in the pandemic keeping everyone safe. The staff treat the residents
like their family, you couldn't wish for better care of your loved one. Normanby House care, respect and value your opinions and nothing is too much trouble. Keep up the good work.

My mother who is 97 years old moved into Normanby House in December 2019 as she was no longer able to live on her own, she was very reluctant to move into a home at all. After contacting the manager we then arranged for mum to move in, mum was very anxious and nervous when she moved in and took a while
to settle. All the staff and management have been truly brilliant with mum and she has now settled to living in Normanby House. I cannot praise all the team enough they are excellent very understanding and caring as it should be, nothing is too much trouble they are one big happy family. Well done!

My father has been resident at Normanby House for a year now following his dementia progressing beyond what his previous care home could cope with.
We are delighted with the care he is receiving, and with the welcome, we receive when we visit.
I have visited at various times of day, unannounced
and all the staff have always been friendly, gentle and respectful to residents.

Normanby House staff provide excellent care in a comfortable, safe environment. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they are very involved at all levels. The food is excellent, couldn't fault it when my sister and I stayed for lunch with our mum. The dining room is comfortable and interesting with
local scenery on the walls.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.746)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.746) out of 10 for Normanby House 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 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 4.946 for Normanby House is calculated as follows: ( (87 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 92 Ratings = 4.946

  • 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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Normanby House is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 25 registered maximum number of service users is 5, which has been reached with 8 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.

Jacie

Jacie Whittaker

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2020

Jacie Whittaker always wanted to run a care home of her own and now she is relishing the opportunity as Home Manager at Normanby House.


She worked her way up the ranks with Saint Cecilia’s Care Group before taking on the role she relishes.
“It is a real pleasure and privilege to be responsible for the whole of the operation, the residents and the staff, I really enjoy it,” she says.


Born in Scarborough, Jacie brought with her years of experience of working in other care settings around the area when she joined us as a Care Assistant. Since then, she has worked her way up to the roles of Team Leader, Deputy Manager and now Home Manager, across Saint Cecilia’s.
She had seen firsthand the care her grandma had received, following a stroke, and believed there had to be something better.


Her number one priority is creating a safe and loving home for the residents, where their physical, mental and emotional care is paramount.
“We never forget that this is their home, not ours and we are there to look after them,” she says.


She is always happy to support the staff during their shifts, especially if it frees up other carers to give the residents the one-to-one time with the staff that they love.
“We are providing personal, individual care to the residents, so it is important that they feel valued, the centre of everything we do and giving them time, getting to know them well, is a really important part of that,” adds Jacie.
“We want to know what makes them happy and what might unsettle them, for example. What works for one, might not work for another, but you only get to know that from giving a person time.
“Maintaining a happy, settled and motivated team of staff to achieve that is also key.”
For Jacie, a perfect day at Normanby House is one where all the residents are happy and contented and the staff are happy too.


Gemma

Gemma Prew

Job Title: Care Assistant

Gemma Prew became a Care Assistant because she wanted to ‘give something back’ to the people she looks after.


“The older and vulnerable adults that we look after have given so much to us and to our country and I always thought I wanted to give back to them,” she says. “I have always had a caring nature and found that working in the care profession is the perfect job for me – I just absolutely love it!”


After a couple of years as a mobile carer, Gemma joined Normanby House earlier this year and has loved the opportunity to spend more quality time with the people in her care.


“I really enjoy it at Normanby. There’s a great atmosphere, very welcoming and a great team spirit – everyone is working hard and doing their best to provide the best care for the residents.


“To be able to get to know someone, spend time with them and help them to stay happy and independent is a real privilege,” she says.


Her role as part of the care team, is to provide the hands-on care our residents need, from getting up and dressed in the morning, enjoying mealtimes, activities and outings, to going to bed again at night, and everything in between.


David

David Higgins

Job Title: Chef

After 15 years with Normanby House, Chef Manager, David Higgins knows a thing or two about providing delicious, nutritious food for our residents.


He has spent all his working life in catering and loves the interaction with the residents at Normanby.


“We are very lucky here at Normanby because the kitchen is right next to the dining room so we can pop in and out and have a chat with the residents during mealtimes,” he says. “It also means that they or their relatives can drop in and talk to us, which is lovely.


“Food is really important at Normanby, the residents look forward to mealtimes when they can have something nice to eat and enjoy a chat and a laugh with their fellow residents and the staff. It is a social occasion.”


“This is our residents’ home so it is our job to make sure they have something they will enjoy eating,” he adds. “We always have a couple of choices but even then, if someone comes down and doesn’t fancy either, we will make them something else. I always say, ‘If I can make it for you, I will’.


Years of experience help him to ensure each individual resident gets the right food, prepared to any likes or dislikes and dietary requirements, where appropriate. That can mean, for example, different textures of food, for those who might start to find eating difficult or ensuring a resident has fortified food when they need building up.


“All the residents are different and that is part of the enjoyment of cooking for them,” adds David. “At the end of the day providing food is like everything we do here, it is about treating people as individuals and with care and respect.”
