Franklin House care home is a welcoming setting in West Drayton delivering dementia, nursing and respite care.

The modern, purpose-built home has a relaxed atmosphere, with light and airy rooms and large, secure gardens where residents can take a stroll or even lend a hand with the gardening. The home has themed spaces that are great for residents living with dementia, including a reminiscence room, music room and sewing room. The home even has its own in-house pub and hair salon.

The friendly team enjoys getting to know each resident so they can tailor each care and lifestyle plan to the individual. All of the activities offered are based around residents' lifelong hobbies and the things they tell the team they like doing.

My brother was in the final stages of suffering from Leukaemia and was admitted to Franklin House so that he could pass away in peace and with dignity. From the moment he arrived, he was treated like someone very special. His every need was met with love and compassion. Sadly, he was only there for
a few hours but it was as though the staff had known him all his life and that they were welcoming him home. I will never forget their kindness, not only to him but to me and my family. Thank you so much.

This is my third time I have used Franklin House to provide respite care for my mother.
The care that is provided is exceptional and the staff go beyond special care. I know I can go away with the knowledge that my mum will be totally cared for.

My husband was in Franklin House for a very short time but we were overwhelmed by the love and care he received and how we were treated with such care and understanding.
Such a beautiful, well run home with wonderful staff all of which allowed my husband to pass away peacefully with a smile on his
face.

I was very concerned as this was the first time my dad was gong in for respite care, but I felt from the initial assessment, right through to picking dad up, at ease. Found the staff very friendly, caring and helpful and understanding of dad's needs.

My mother was taken in by Franklin House at very short notice due to having a fall. From our first interaction during Mum's assessment for care until her final days, I found everyone at Franklin House to be professional, respectful and totally focussed on my mother's care needs. She welcomed their interactions
and in her eight short weeks made many friends amongst the staff.
The care and support I received after Mum's death was exemplary and continues still.

When my father was taken into the nursery home, everything was explained to us in great detail. He was taken in from hospital around September 2018.
The managers were very helpful in dealing with the transfer and the staff were very helpful in making sure he was comfortable. It didn't take very long
for him to settle in and the care was total in all his needs. My dad always had a big smile whenever the staff went into check on him.

Having seen other care homes, this one was much more like being in a normal house with ornaments and pictures on the wall.
The staff were always very friendly and did their best to meet my mother's needs.
They were also good at keeping me informed as to how my mother was.

Franklin House care home is a wonderful place, very much a home from home. The staff are fantastic and very caring and got to know my mum extremely well, knowing and understanding all her little quirks and ways. Mum felt very comfortable there and was known for her smiling and her need to find company.
The amazing staff always had kind words for her and I felt assured that she was being looked after at all times. I was always kept informed of what was happening and the staff were so approachable. I would like to thank everyone at Franklin House for their support both to my mother and my family during her two years at the home.

Our old friend was always looked after sympathetically by the staff. This was our consistent impression every time we visited. And as visitors, we were always made most welcome.

Sadly my father needed end of life care and was only there for two weeks. The staff were so caring, thoughtful and made not only Dad's last couple of weeks comfortable but also put myself and my sister at ease. We can't thank the manager and the team enough.

My mother was transferred to Franklin House form hospital. She was 103 years old and had lost the will to live, but in the 2 1/2 week she was in Franklin House she received care, consideration and respect. We should like to thank most sincerely those involved in her care. I am unable to complete all
the boxes below as they are outside our experience of her stay. Many thanks.

Due to the excellent level of care our mother receives at Franklin House, the frequent hypo's (diabetes) infections and accidents, severe depression she suffered for decades, are no longer a concern. With 4-5 visits a week we see the consistency of care she gets. This has totally removed the burden
of worry for my sisters and myself, that we had when she was at home, they are no longer a serious concern for us. We have got our lives back, and Mum is clean, well fed and is no longer morbidly obese. Please send me there if I go the same way.

My mum was a resident in Franklin House. from 2015-2018 within this time she was looked after extremely well. The staff were always there to help and update any information. I'm very happy with everything and would recommend Franklin House. The staff were always friendly and Franklin House was always
calm and welcoming.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.811)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.811) out of 10 for Franklin House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.811 for Franklin House is calculated as follows: ( (260 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 312 Ratings = 4.811

  • 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 Franklin House is based on 27 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 27 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.

Mathew V Mathew

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2001

I joined Care UK in 2001 from the teaching profession. I liked Care UK’s ethos and what the company had to offer. I’ve worked hard to get a good team around me – having a team I can trust makes my job a lot easier – and many of the residents’ relatives have been great in supporting us to get the home to where it is.


Day-to-day I love chatting to residents and listening to their stories, as well as finding out how we can make their daily lives even better.
