We as a family would like to thank all the staff for the exceptional care you gave my partner from June until his passing beginning of December.
He was so comfortable there after a bad experience in hospital.
The kitchen staff nursing staff and all the entertainment (the film shows the singers that
came in to entertain he enjoyed in the beginning)
His last few weeks you made him comfortable which was so nice to see.
I would also like to thank a carer in particular who he thought a lot of.
I would recommend this nursing home and give it 5*.
From all of the family and the grandchildren who adored their grandad.

Reply from Neetha Varghese, Registered Manager at Seven Arches

Thank you so much for your kind words, we are glad that you were happy with the care your partner had with us at Sevenarches Nursing Home. Thank you and Regards from the Seven Arches team.

My aunt was in Seven Arches for about a year and was well cared for during that time. She always appeared clean and well-dressed whenever I visited. The nurses kept me up to date with all aspects of her care. I would like to say a big thank you to all the caregivers who looked after my aunt until the
end. They showed her compassion and treated her with dignity.
I am glad she spent her last days in Seven Arches and would recommend this nursing home to anyone who is looking for one.

Reply from Neetha Varghese, Registered Manager at Seven Arches

Thank you very much for your review, we are happy to know that you were satisfied with the care provided to your aunt. We will continue to provide the best care possible to all our service users. Thank you and regards from the Seven Arches team.

My father was a resident at Seven Arches for the sixteen months prior to his passing in October. He was well cared for and content. All the staff including management, admin, nurses, and carers as well as the catering staff, cleaners, and groundsman were friendly, helpful, and respectful. Each time
I visited I received a warm welcome and was usually greeted by name. All medical appointments that my father needed whilst at Seven Arches were arranged and any concerns were communicated to me. My father had a spacious room overlooking the beautiful gardens which he enjoyed when we took him outside in the summer months.
During his final days, my father was made as comfortable as possible and my wish that he should die peacefully in his own bed was respected. I have nothing but praise for the staff and thank them for the compassion shown to me at this sad time. I have no hesitation in recommending Seven Arches to anyone looking for a good nursing home for an elderly parent or relative.

If only we had found this nursing home sooner... Mum was at Seven Arches for only five weeks February - March 2024, but during her time there all the staff we encountered were caring, respectful, attentive, supportive and family-orientated. The manager and nurses were always on hand to welcome visitors,
answer questions and keep relatives informed. When Mum returned for the second time, very poorly from Hospital, the care, palliative care and respect shown was humbling. Mum was comfortable and pain-free in her welcoming, bright, homely room with family able to visit at any time. I cannot thank the team at Seven Arches enough for making a very sad and difficult time as peaceful and comforting as it could be.

My dad sadly passed away recently and my mother and I took immense comfort that he spent his last 2 years at Seven Arches after transferring from a very poor care service elsewhere in Brentwood. During his 2 years, the manager and her wonderful team took great care of Dad, treating him with love, kindness
and respect. Dad went from being withdrawn, unhappy and listless to trying to communicate and engage again and importantly looking well and smiling. He had a fantastic rapport with all the staff. The manager always made time to update us on Dad's health and needs too.
During the latter part of my dad's care, my mother was seriously ill and could no longer visit, the staff continued to support her with regular updates and were a lifeline to her too.
The night carer who was with Dad as he slipped away showed such empathy and compassion to Dad and us and was comforting knowing such a kind person was with him in his final moments. Thank you to the manager and the night carer and everyone who supported us and Dad.

Reply from Neetha Varghese, Registered Manager at Seven Arches

Dear Julie, thank you for your kind review of Seven Arches. We were pleased to read that your dad was comfortable during his stay at the home and that you were happy with the care and support received from staff and management. All the best wishes from the manager and Seven Arches staff.

My father was a resident at Seven Arches from Sept 23 to Feb 24. I simply cannot thank the manager and all of the staff enough for the kindness, compassion and patience they showed to him during his stay. It was a difficult transition for Dad to move from his own home, however, as a result of the care
he received, Dad was very happy and contented. For myself, knowing that Dad was safe was a great comfort, especially during the last weeks of his life.

During our recent visits to Seven Arches to visit my late sister, the greeting received from all the staff was so warming. The manageress, nurses, carers and kitchen staff were always welcoming, polite, caring, supportive and professional, making our visits pleasant during difficult times. The care
my sister received was first class, nothing was an issue, and all the staff were kind and helpful, nothing was an issue. First class, thank you to a lovely manageress and all the staff for ensuring my sister's stay was comfortable.

My mother spent the last eight weeks of her life at Seven Arches. The carers were extremely attentive, always checking on her and getting her out of bed to go to the lounge. They have enough staff to assist with feeding at every meal. The home is very well run, and the manager is available. The attention
my mother received, given how high her needs were, was excellent. Thank you.

My aunt has been in Seven Arches for a good few years now, and we have all been at ease knowing she is well-fed and looked after with such care and devotion from all the staff in all departments. During lockdown, we had video calls and window visits, which really helped not only my aunt but the family
too. When we visit, we are offered drinks in the garden, which is beautiful and their sensory garden too. It's a real family home, and the manager welcomes you with a big smile, and the activity lady works ever so hard doing fundraising events. We chose the perfect home.

Thank you for the lovely review of Seven Arches! We are so happy that you also feel that Seven Arches is a family home - this family environment is something that we work very hard on maintaining. We are glad that your Aunt is comfortable at Seven Arches and that she has plenty to do. Our staff and activities team work so hard in ensuring that the residents are kept active and stimulated. If there is anything that we can do to make your aunt's stay at Seven Arches more comfortable, please do let us know.

My nan has been in Seven Arches since just before the start of lockdown, which was so hard for her as she is such a family lady and the rock to our family. However, the home worked endlessly with window visits, video calls and taking photos to put in cards and sent to families so they could see their
relatives having fun. This also gave us peace of mind to know they were keeping their spirits up. When Nan went into the home, she couldn't talk or eat due to having a stroke, but with the brilliant care from staff and encouragement from the activities lady, Nan is now able to say words and is eating three meals a day, which we never thought we would see. There are always different things going on to help with fundraising with coffee mornings, fetes and quiz nights. There's a happy, homely atmosphere with all the staff interacting with residents and families. The manager has been really helpful and worked her magic when Grandad had to come to the home.

Reply from Fatemah Bhanji, Business Development Executive at Seven Arches

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.815)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.815) out of 10 for Seven Arches 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 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 4.815 for Seven Arches is calculated as follows: ( (134 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 162 Ratings = 4.815

  • 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 Seven Arches 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, 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.
