The only home we researched had a lovely garden with plenty of real flowers and plants! I felt at home as soon as I entered. Pleasant, nicely decorated, clean surroundings with friendly, caring staff. My friend celebrated his 82nd birthday last week and the home made it a really special occasion for
him. My only problem is that he cannot use a mobile phone, and it is (understandably) often difficult to get busy staff to answer the telephone and take their mobile to him. Apart from that we are so glad he moved homes!

Mum and the other residents had a fantastic day just like a day at the seaside with fish and chips, ice creams, a beach, paddling pools and inflated balls. Everything had been thought of even the weather played ball. Thank you.

I was very pleased with the attention and kindness shown to my mother and pleased with our choice of care home after visiting a number of them and having previous experience via other relatives.
The difficult years with Covid proved difficult for everyone and I am pleased with our decision.
My thanks
to everyone for your help.

Overall, my experience with the home is good. I'm happy with the care my mum is receiving but with some carers their duties, I have found, to be quite poor. I feel they require more training and could be more considerate to the required needs as even when leaving clear instructions they are not being
followed through.

My mother was only in their care for a few days having been referred on a fast-track transfer from hospital for end of life care. I cannot speak highly enough of the care and kindness she received from all the staff on Floor 1. They were cheerful, kind and nothing was too much trouble. In my mother’s
final hours they were respectful and treated us all with dignity and compassion. They did everything they could to make her final days as comfortable and safe as possible. Thank you to all the care team and the administrative and management staff for your highly professional care.

My dad spent only a short time here receiving palliative care. He was well looked after and kept comfortable and happy. They adapted to his changing needs, particularly around food. He was treated with dignity and respect throughout.

Mum was finding it too hard to manage at home, so the decision was made to have a two-week respite break to see if a care home would suit her. After just three days, she knew she wanted to stay. A lovely, warm room, three good meals a day, 24-hour care, daily activities and company. She could not be
happier. The staff are wonderful, from the head nurse (the guardian angel) to the office management; all are so pleasant and helpful. Mum is happy, and I am happy she is in the right place.

All residents are treated with the utmost respect, care and dignity. It's like one big happy home from home, just better as the 'fairies' magically clean, cook and care for everybody's individual needs. Activities are fantastic and engage everyone.

My sister came for a six-week trial as she was very against giving up her house. At the end of the six weeks, she decided she didn't want to go back home. She looks a lot better, she has regular showers, clean clothes every day and her hair washed and blow-dried every week. She is having three good
meals a day as well as lots of tea and snacks. She is treated with respect and has her dignity back. I would recommend this care home to anyone. Thank you.

As a family, we were very pleased and heartened by the care and compassion shown to our uncle, who sadly passed away after being in your care for two weeks. We found all the staff both professional, understanding and caring. We always felt that they went the extra mile in caring for and nursing our
uncle. On behalf of the family, please accept our sincere appreciation and thanks, particularly special thanks to one particular member of staff.

We chose this care home because of the light spacious, airy rooms and the friendliness of the staff, not only to us but towards each other. I know we were right as whenever any of the staff come in my mom's face lights up with a big smile and they have a great banter between them.

The level of care given by The Hornchurch is of a very high order. Not only is the home spacious and newly refurbished, but scrupulously clean.
Additionally, the care staff are friendly, kind, competent, and approachable. The manager and senior staff are entirely understanding of the client's needs,
and the concerns faced by the residents' relatives.
Communication is frequent regarding the clients' welfare, and you are kept well informed.
I feel totally at ease with the level of care and compassion towards my father staying at this delightful facility.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.274)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.274) out of 10 for The Hornchurch Care Home 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.274 for The Hornchurch Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (153 Excellents x 5) + (88 Goods x 4) + (20 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (16 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 281 Ratings = 4.274

  • 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 Hornchurch Care Home is based on 23 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 55 registered maximum number of service users is 11, which has been reached with 23 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.
