The help, advice and personal involvement by the staff is invaluable. One of the staff is an absolute gem and must be irreplaceable. His care and attitude are quite extraordinary.

As a long-term volunteer helping with activities, I am constantly reminded of the dedication, care and patience shown by every person I come into contact with towards the residents. They really do go the extra mile to keep them engaged and stimulated in whatever way works for each resident's needs and
interests.

Nightingale House sets the bar on how, in my opinion, all care homes should be for our elderly. The care is exemplary in every way. The facilities are fantastic. It is such a comfort to know my mother is here.

My husband went into Nightingale House Hammerson in May. When he arrived he was welcomed by staff at the door and given a welcome card. From that moment I knew I had made the right care home choice for my husband. The staff in his household have been excellent. Not only caring for my husband, but
if ever I am upset they spend time chatting to me, which makes me feel better. Every time I go whenever I pass anyone who works or volunteers at Nightingale House Hammerson, they always say hello. This makes me feel part of the Home and not just a wife that visits her husband. The staff provide us with updates, are patient and caring with my husband. Although he can't tell me, I know he has settled in well as he has always got a smile for the carers. The facilities and activities are excellent and while my husband can, I or the staff take him to them.

My mother stayed at Nightingale House for 3 weeks while I was on holiday and, once she was back in her flat, she realised that she would much prefer to be living there. She missed the company and the environment. Mum has been there for 3 years and, now 99, I feel that she has hardly deteriorated in
that time. I attribute that to the friendliness and encouragement of staff, the range of activities, access to beautiful gardens and interaction with other residents, who have become her friends. Nightingale management realised the importance of family visits during Covid and put great efforts into creating a successful and safe system, for which we were very grateful.

Reply from Catherine Michie, Events and Marketing Manager at Nightingale House

We are so happy to hear about your mother's and wider family's really positive experience of Nightingale House. Family visits are hugely important to everyone right now, including staff; we love to welcome them and to see the happiness that visits bring to our residents. Thank you for your review and look forward to seeing you soon.

Our centenarian Aunt's previous care home in Highgate closed unexpectedly and we (my sister and I) were extremely pleased that Nightingale House could find a place for our Aunt. The move was obviously difficult and traumatic, especially during covid. Everyone has been very helpful and kind.

Reply from Catherine Michie, Events and Marketing Manager at Nightingale House

We are so pleased that we can be here for your family and it is good to know that our teams have been helpful during what can be a difficult time and transition for some. It is also really good to hear that you have experienced our teams' kindness during your aunt's move to Nightingale House. Thank you for letting us know.

The health and care administered to my wife are centred on her. The organisation of the multi-discipline teams allows for my wives needs to be recognised, monitored and met with regular and ad hoc reviews which follow changes in her condition. The establishment generates a family feel to the care given
and the whole package enables my family to sleep at night knowing my wife is well looked after.

Reply from Catherine Michie, Events and Marketing Manager at Nightingale House

Thank you very much for your positive feedback. To us, it is really important to be able to give comfort and peace of mind to the families and loved ones of residents who are in our care - residents' families are very much part of our community and it is wonderful to hear that you have this experience.

Very well managed transfer of relative from another care home which was closing. Admin and care staff did their utmost to ensure a smooth transition in difficult circumstances (Covid limited etc).

Reply from Catherine Michie, Marketing and Event Manager at Nightingale House

Thank you for your feedback. We are so pleased to hear that the transfer of your relative from a previous home to Nightingale House went well. Do let us know if there is anything more we can do for your family to ensure your relative's stay with us is the best it can be.

My dear aunt has been living at Nightingale House for nearly 3 years. Before that, my mother was lovingly cared for in her final years with dementia. The care has been exceptional with great attention to detail. A lot of effort is made to encourage the residents to continue with interests and hobbies.
My aunt loves reading and poetry. She has had one to one discussions about poetry with a wonderful volunteer and has had considerable help using her Alexa device to listen to talking books. Before the pandemic, she also took part in a French discussion group. She is also helped every week to make contact with her relatives and friends via face-time by another volunteer. The home is beautifully kept with attractive public areas, a lovely garden and a cafe.

Reply from Catherine Michie, Events and Marketing Manager at Nightingale House

So lovely to hear that your aunt has been busy enjoying her time with us at Nightingale House. Our engagement team are a truly wonderful group of individuals who always go above and beyond to keep residents actively involved with hobbies and interests they enjoy.

Current Review Score: 7.7 (7.690)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.7 (7.690) out of 10 for Nightingale House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.4 out of 5 from 3 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 4.310 for Nightingale House is calculated as follows: ( (18 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 42 Ratings = 4.31

  • 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 3.38 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Nightingale House is based on 3 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 = 3.25

    • 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 115 registered maximum number of service users is 23. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 23 = 0.13

  • 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.

Clemence

Clemence Muchingaguyo

Job Title: Registered Manager & Head of Nursing

Joined: 2011

I am the Registered Manager for Nightingale House, and my role has legal accountability for the care and safety of our Residents. I joined Nightingale House in 2011 as a Registered Nurse, providing nursing care to Residents. Within 18 months I had the opportunity to move on to a 39 bedded Nursing Dementia unit as a Manager. In 2014, I commissioned a 28 bedded specialist and purpose-built dementia household for Residents living with complex and advanced stages of dementia.


My responsibilities included the provision of high-quality and compassionate care for Residents living with advanced dementia, leading a team of nurses and carers and taking on and mentoring student nurses as sign-off mentors. I also had the responsibility of Nutrition and Hydration Lead for the Home. As part of my role, I was a part of the Pre-admission Assessment team, assessing and making decisions for care placement.


In 2017, I took on the dual role of Head of Nursing and Manager for a 40 bedded Nursing dementia unit. I was responsible for a Care Team of 70 Team Members comprising Carers, Senior Carers, Nurses, and an Activity Co-ordinator. I also oversaw the recruitment and professional development of Nurses, mentoring and signing off student nurses on clinical placement.


In 2021, I moved into a strategic and planning role and became office based. My responsibilities include providing oversight of all care for Residents, workforce requirements, reporting to regulatory bodies and coordination and communication with various departments and external health professionals.


Additionally, I am also responsible for implementing and following up on changes from the Department of Health and Social Care and providing guidance and supervision to managers while retaining accountability for the overall care and safety of Residents.

Chipema Chitambala

Job Title: Director of Care Services

Joined: 2023

My career began when I qualified as a General Registered Nurse. After a short period in the acute sector, I specialised in the care of older people and since then have never looked back. I went on to specialise in Health Services Management with the Royal College of Nursing and completed a Master’s degree in Public Health.


I have worked across Health and Social Care with some great corporate brands, and this is where I cemented my leadership skills before joining Jewish Care at the end of 2017.


I have also won several awards; perhaps the two that I’m most proud of are the Wise Woman in Leadership Award by Faith Magazine in 2015 and, most recently, the Health & Social Care Leader of the Year 2021 by Black Women in Care.


As a leader, I enjoy influencing others positively, connecting with people, problem-solving, motivating colleagues and empowering Teams to deliver great results. Most of all, I enjoy mentoring and coaching.

Jenny Pattinson

Job Title: Chief Executive

Joined: 2022

When I joined Nightingale Hammerson as CEO in July 2022, I knew I was joining an organisation that had an incredible reputation for providing exceptional care. Seeing this in practice is a great privilege.


The Care sector remains a challenging environment to operate in. However, we remain fully committed to providing the best care to the most vulnerable in our community and in spite of the financial pressure, find innovative and effective ways to ensure our Residents lead fulfilling lives, have a sense of purpose and feel loved and cared for in our Homes.


It is important that our Teams recognise that every role is hugely valued in Nightingale Hammerson. I am determined to remain hands-on and support the team to deliver care to the best of our ability. I know that I could not do my role without the incredible Care and Support Teams so I prioritise ensuring they are well cared for so they can provide exceptional care to our Residents.
