Congratulations on a wonderful Christmas Day at Rickeston Mill. Staff were so welcoming and attentive to residents. Beautiful decorations throughout, warm and happy atmosphere. Lovely music and staff dressed up and full of smiles. I was so touched when the Elf came round with a bag of gifts for each
resident and knelt beside each one to help them open their gift. Tables were joined together and decorated so each resident could enjoy their Christmas Dinner together. A very happy time for all. Well done and a huge thank you to you all. We are so blessed to have such a beautiful residence with such caring and loving staff. Thank you and thank you again.

Would not recommend since new management.
Neglectful care led to my mother falling from a high bed.
Unsafe medication administration where meds were kept by my mother and she was unable to take but other mobile patients walking around could have taken.
The manager has no nursing experience which
is obvious. No compassion. No contact since Mother died. Turnover of staff is quick and good carers leave. The standard of care is poor. Dirty nails, late wash. Left in bed. Not given food which was brought in for Mother.

Reply from Mathew Jones, Head of Region at Rickeston Mill Nursing Home

Dear PR, thank you for your feedback, which I am most concerned to read. Please accept my personal condolences for your loss. We do not want any resident or family to feel they have received anything less than compassionate, personalised and high-quality care. I would therefore welcome the opportunity to discuss with you the issues you raise, to see if there are ways we can further improve our service going forward. I will try to make contact with you directly, and you are welcome also to send me a message via our general email address: heretohelp@carongroup.wales

Very friendly, welcoming, helpful and approachable. The home is undergoing renovation/refurbishment and we've seen a huge improvement in the six weeks we've been visiting.

Having to place your much-loved spouse, of many years, in a nursing home is not something anyone wishes to do. But I must say Rickeston Mill is proving to be a very homely environment, albeit second best to having her at home. Although the premises may be rather old and a little tired, it is the staff
that makes it what it is. They are caring, attentive, helpful and cheerful and seem to enjoy what cannot be an easy task. They all know each resident well and consequently are responsive and sensitive to their individual characteristics, behaviour and needs. There are regular activities to help provide stimulation and the food appears plentiful and wholesome.

One of the most upsetting things I've ever had to do is make the decision to place my Dad in a care home. Dad has severe dementia. After a tricky start, we found Rickeston Mill. Upon entering the jolly atmosphere was immediate! I knew Dad would be happy here from the smiling faces and the obvious effort
by staff to create a homely environment. Every month they have a schedule of activities for the residents to enjoy. Last year is the first year Dad couldn't join us for Christmas. It was heartbreaking, but we left Rickeston Mill smiling on Christmas Day. Christmas tunes, Santa, gifts, dinner, drinks, buffet, wonderful tree! I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Rickeston Mill. They always provide entertainment, arts and crafts, games, invite choirs and musicians, always stimulate with decorations and films and appropriate music. The level of care is 100% and it's always spotless. The staff are wonderful. Thank you, Rickeston Mill, for providing Dad with a wonderful home.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.179)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.179) out of 10 for Rickeston Mill Nursing 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 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Rickeston Mill Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.179 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Rickeston Mill Nursing Home is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 5.6 = 0.179

  • 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.
