Mum was a resident at Village Green for just over two years during this time Mum was treated with kindness, care and respect.
We never imagined Mum's life would end up in a care home but I'm so grateful to all the carers who gave Mum the respect, care and dignity she so deserved. Thank you.

Since joining Village Green in the summer, my mother-in-law has developed back being a happy, smiling lady who is enjoying her life once again.
Recently, she went on a trip to meet Santa Claus and had a wonderful time, coming home with a new reindeer friend too (a gift from Santa!).
The care and attention
she has received whilst at Village Green has made this possible and I have been so impressed with the lovely way they treat the residents, full of love, respect and care. Very pleased we chose Village Green.

When my mother-in-law came into the Village Green, she was very poorly with her skin. After several weeks, with care at the home, she has now settled in as a permanent resident. We are so thankful to have the manager helping us through this very hard journey to put her in a home. The nurses, carers
and all the staff are amazing. Thank you so much.

I enjoyed a peaceful stay at Village Green Care Home. I was impressed with the staff and management.
I feel that I was well looked after, built my strength and confidence. I was here after hospital discharge for respite.
I cannot recommend Village Green highly enough.

My mother was transferred to Village Green Care Home from hospital on a discharge-to-access scheme, and was then consequently offered a full-time place after 3 weeks of care.
Village Green Care Home, the management and all the staff were so welcoming from day 1 and were excellent in looking after Mum.
I cannot speak highly enough of all the staff for their caring and professional approach.
I thank them all for making Mum's final days a truly peaceful and dignified ending.

My 96-year-old mother was transferred from the hospital recently and I have been delighted with the level of care she is receiving. The management and staff have a genuinely caring and loving attitude to their residents and living 100 miles away I feel a weight being lifted off of my shoulders as I
know Mum is in safe hands. Thank you all so much.

Since my mum was moved to Village Green from the hospital, the whole part, care, staff, communication, absolutely everything has been so amazing.
The team are so friendly, and I feel 100% reassured that my mum is safe and happy.
I don't drive and live around 30 minutes drive away by taxi, so I know
Mum is fully cared for and she is the happiest she's been in a long time.

My mother-in-law was given the best of care at Village Green Care Home. The staff, although always busy, were very kind, caring and attentive to her needs. Communication from the manager was excellent and answered quickly. Nursing care was excellent, my mother-in-law had awful bed sores which actually
healed in their care. The staff make the very best of this facility and overcome anything thrown at them. I would highly recommend Village Green.

Dad has been at Village Green Care Home for ten months. The staff are amazing, very committed to all residents and their families. Dad has, on three occasions, become extremely unwell, on each occasion, the staff have turned Dad around and worked with him and us to get him better. I cannot rate this
home more highly. I sleep well at night knowing Dad is well cared for.
Bravo to each and every staff member.

Our family cannot thank the manager and his team for all the care and advice they have given our mother and us.
This is our first experience of a care home and right from the moment we walked through the door we were warmly welcomed and looked after.
Village Green have such an amazing team who are
kind, caring and respectful to everyone. We will always remember Mum's short but happy stay at Village Green.

Dad was made to feel very welcome from the moment he arrived at Village Green, transferred from his hospital bed. The care staff were very attentive to his care needs and he soon developed a good rapport and very soon he was able to relax and trust them to keep him safe. The care home manager made sure
I was updated regularly on Dad and was extremely helpful when the time came for Dad to leave, even making sure he was ok after he had left.

Mum had lived at Village Green for nearly three years when she sadly passed away. Throughout her time there, she was very well cared for. We always felt she was treated as an individual and that the staff spent the time to get to know her. As a family, we were readily welcomed and enjoyed the many activities
alongside Mum frequently. The food was excellent, the management readily available when requested and care staff compassionate and supportive.

I would just like to take the time to express my confidence and trust in all the staff at Village Green.
My mum moved in, not long after a stroke, and I was understandably worried about the care she would receive, as we had not been within the care system, prior to this.
I was assured that all Mum's
needs would be taken care of and that she would be made to feel at home and comfortable.
I can honestly say that the manager and his team have completely lived up to their promise and I could not be any happier with the choice I made in leaving Mum in their capable hands. They are patient, and attentive and also take the time out of their routine, to sit with residents and reassure them, should they not be having a 'good day'.
Thank you all, and keep up the very hard work I see you all doing.

From the first contact made with Village Green Care Home, I was greeted with compassion and professionalism. Everything about the facility, from the staff, the rooms, the food, the support and the care, has been first-class. The Village Green team made a very difficult situation for me and my family
as calm, respectful and peaceful as possible. Thank you for all you do.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.978)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.978) out of 10 for Village Green Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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 4.978 for Village Green Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (393 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 402 Ratings = 4.978

  • 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 Village Green Care Home is based on 34 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 41 registered maximum number of service users is 8.2, which has been reached with 34 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.
