My nephew has been a resident since December 2024.
I have visited him a few times and here are my observations so far:
- Very warm and welcoming. Well-decorated and spotlessly clean.
- Staff seem to have a real spring in their step, happy and can't do enough to help.
- Nursing staff and carers are
excellent.
- Admin/Reception Manager was my first point of contact when I emailed in. She created a very favourable first impression and is solution-oriented.
- Positive culture must come from Leadership and Management teams.
Hands-down the best care home I have visited.

I just want to ensure a nurse, in particular, gets the acknowledgement she deserves. She has been an amazing nurse to my father and works with attention to detail. She is kind, compassionate and extremely caring.
We could not thank her enough for her work with my father. Although my father cannot communicate,
we have noticed he is relaxed when the nurse does his oral care.
Huge shout out to another member of staff, in particular, too - she is absolutely brilliant.
My ratings are a reflection of the home in general.

I cannot praise all the staff in Kenton Ward, Wilsmere House enough. They have looked after my brother for many, many years and nothing is too much for them. The ward manager is excellent (as are all the staff) and her communication skills are fantastic. She goes the extra mile to answer my queries,
even on her days off!
I have had dealings with another care home regarding another family member. On the face of it appeared to be a 5-star hotel however when it came to comparing the staff it was no contest. At the end of the day, it is all about the care and compassion of the staff and the staff in Wilsmere House have that in abundance. I should also mention the staff in the reception, the office support, and the senior management team. They have always been helpful and very professional and again are a credit to the organisation.

The carers are always willing to help if further assistance is required. Friendly and welcoming although I believe they do not have the time to properly ensure each resident is comfortable every minute. Hence, they would benefit with additional staff.

I cannot thank all the staff enough for the great care they gave my dad. Nothing was too much trouble. Not only did they care for Dad, but cared for my mum, my husband and myself, making sure we were ok and coping.
The staff would regularly check on Dad, and when he eventually had to stay in bed,
they took care of all his needs.
We were kept up to date on all Dad's care and any changes that may have needed to be made.

Mum moved to Wilsmere in June from another care home. From the beginning her care needs have been met to a high standard. Mum has an excellent routine from personal care to attention to her nutrition and even her makeup. Staff are always positive, friendly and smiling when Mum's dementia makes caring
more challenging. The activities co-ordinators always see that Mum is involved and there is attention paid to her as an individual.

On the Kenton unit, all residents and their families are treated with the utmost respect and care. No task is too big for the staff who go out of their way to not only care excellently for the residents but also get to know the residents on a personal level. There is an atmosphere of care, joy and family
throughout this unit.

My mother has resided at Wilsmere Care Home since January 2023. My family and I have been extremely impressed by the care and professional nursing treatment she has received since this has become her home. The staff are very friendly and engaging and Mum who is fortunately still very lucid and bright
has nothing but praise for everybody involved in her care. Whenever I visit Mum, the nurse on duty, in particular, is always very informative about her progress or any issues she may have.
When my brothers and I leave Mum to go home we are all happy that she is in a very safe environment. Recently when she had to go to hospital briefly she was very keen to get back to Wilsmere House and 'see her chums'. I think that speaks volumes.

My husband has been a resident in Wilsmere, Whitegate Ward for nearly six years and receives total care day and night. All the staff are calm, unhurried, kind, reassuring, gentle, warm and friendly always and this extends to the visiting family members also. I have great peace of mind knowing that my
husband is so well looked after by the carers and careful monitoring by the nurses. A shout-out to the reception staff, always ready with a welcome and a smile and the activity staff who put in so much effort to provide entertainment and spend time with the residents. Lastly, a manager who carries out a remarkable role in knowing all the residents and families and is always in her office or at the end of a phone if the need arises.
I cannot praise Wilsmere highly enough. The residents are indeed fortunate to be looked after with such care and dignity.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.695)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.695) out of 10 for Barchester Wilsmere House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.695 for Barchester Wilsmere House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (158 Excellents x 5) + (62 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 223 Ratings = 4.695

  • 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 Barchester Wilsmere House Care Home is based on 20 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 86 registered maximum number of service users is 17.2, which has been reached with 20 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.

The food we produce is hugely important to our residents which is why it is absolutely imperative that we always get their feedback and continuously meet the needs and nutritional quota of every single resident who chooses to make Wilsmere Home Care Home.
