When I accompanied my husband to take up residence we were treated by the manager and administrator and many of the staff in a very welcoming way as if we were already friends - which we certainly became. My husband died within a week but I would not hesitate to recommend The Pines.

My mum was at The Pines just short of 6 years. In that time I saw nothing but kindness and care for the residents and their families. They have always kept us updated on the health of Mum and anything we needed to know. Nothing ever seemed too much trouble. The staff all work together as a well oiled
machine and are a great team. I would definitely recommend The Pines if someone was looking at care homes.

The Pines provided my brother with excellent palliative care for the last month of his life. As a family we looked around the home and were impressed by their gentle and thoughtful approach - with a focus on not just ensuring that their care would be adjusted as my brother's needs changed, but also
their determination to support us as a family with the challenges we faced. The staff listened to us and every visit left us with the reassurance that he could not be given better care. Every staff member was impressive and we will always be grateful to the manager and the whole team.

The staff are all very caring and there is a strong focus on working with the residents to get the best outcome. Manager and deputy manager very calm, helpful and professional. The team supporting Mum were very friendly and warm. Impressive how long many employees have been there. Mum said that she
was always encouraged to do the activities.

My father was recommended to The Pines from the hospital for end-of-life care. He has been so lucky to have a place in this caring comfortable and excellent home. The staff have a friendly and professional approach that makes his life much more bearable. The additional time taken to engage with him
makes a huge difference.

I was on a visit from the US to visit my daughter, who is a resident at The Pines Nursing Home. I was pleasantly surprised with the facility and staff. The facility was very clean, cheery and accessible to patios for residents to enjoy the outdoors. All of the staff, from top management to secretaries,
housekeepers, kitchen staff, care assistants and occupational therapists were caring and attentive!

The resident needs a lot of attention and demanding but all the staff are very patient and kind. I'm only here for a week and exhausted, I cannot imagine the daily ritual the staff endure! Actually, they are all better than excellent and we would never be able to thank them enough.

To be at The Pines Nursing Home was like being in a home away from home! I was always happy in this nursing home, I met a lot of people and took part in many activities. The carers met all my needs and breezed in and out of my room with cups of tea/coffee. I could eat in my room or the dining room -
wherever I wanted and the food was excellent. I put on weight at The Pines! No one was ever cross with me.

My family, my friends and I are so happy that my wife is a resident in this excellent home, The Pines. The staff, from top to bottom are so friendly. They are so caring with the residents which makes us all so comfortable. The home is very clean, bright and airy. Each day we visitors are welcomed to
the door by happy and smiling staff. This proves that they are looking after our loved ones with care and love. They keep the residents and their rooms clean. The food, well it cannot get better - healthy meals. My wife cleans the lot.

From the outset, the management and all the care staff were friendly and reassuring. They were professional and easy to talk to at all times either in person or by phone. My mother was always clean, and comfortable and said her needs were all met. Myself and my family were happy when we visited, that
there was a very safe and caring environment to support my mother in what was to be the last three months of her life. I feel blessed that she went to her final resting place feeling safe and able to live with dignity. My thanks to all the staff who work in a loving manner.

My much-loved mother has now been a resident at The Pines for just over two years. During that time, the staff cared for her as though she is their own mother. She loves her nurses/carers and all the staff she comes into contact with. She has complex needs, and at 95, and needs a lot of care and attention,
and the staff are always cheerful and ensure that she gets the best possible care and is made as comfortable as possible. The home has a lovely, warm and cosy atmosphere, and I am so grateful for the excellent care my mother is receiving there.

Reply from Home Manager, Home Manager at The Pines Nursing Home

We would like to thank you for your words of kindness towards The Pines, which are very much appreciated. The team will be thrilled to hear your comments about being loved by your mother - we strive for person-centred care for all our much-loved residents. Thank you again for the review.

Following a hip replacement operation, I wanted to be sure of a safe and relaxing environment in which to recuperate. I spent a month at the Pines which proved to be exactly the right decision. The facilities were adapted to my needs, the nursing staff were responsive with ongoing care such as changing
dressings and with dealing with an attack of chronic constipation. All the staff were welcoming and cheerful and my access to a garden was idyllic and greatly aided my return to mobility.

My dad went into "The Pines" from another home - so he could be nearer to my sister and I. Sadly, he went into a home after his wife passed suddenly. He was treated like a king through his stay, and he had the top care, respect and all the staff spoke to him. This was also continued with our family.
Words can't say "thank you" enough - they are terrific.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.891)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.891) out of 10 for The Pines Nursing Home 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.891 for The Pines Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (148 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 165 Ratings = 4.891

  • 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 The Pines Nursing Home is based on 14 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 14 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.

Heather Said

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2019

As the Home Manager at The Pines Care Home, I lead a professional team in providing the highest standards of residential and nursing care for up to 40 residents.


I began my nursing career in South Africa where I trained in a large university training hospital. It was a fantastic experience that helped me develop the skills and experience that formed the foundation of my nursing career. Ten years ago, I relocated to the United Kingdom where I worked as a nurse and then as a Nursing Home Manager.


I have a wide range of experience across multiple areas including: Apheresis, Midwifery, Mental Health and Community nursing. Care of the elderly has always been a field of care I enjoy and have gravitated towards, a natural fit for me.


I love getting to know each of our residents, their stories and experiences, and I feel a great sense of satisfaction when I know our team has done everything possible and have managed to make a positive difference in enhancing our resident’s wellbeing.


The team at The Pines is dynamic and diverse and we all strive to provide the best care. Every team member is valued, and we support each other in everything we do. We are open, honest, and respectful and we treat our residents with dignity.
