Had relatives in Camberley Woods for 4 years, I have nothing but praise for all the staff here. Their care from palliative to nursing to person care has been exemplary. The front of house staff have almost become friends, I love them all. Thank you.

I have some not so great experiences of care homes in the past. However Camberley Woods really does go that extra mile. My dad absolutely loves it there. He looks forward to the daily activities. After a recent visit to celebrate dad's birthday, we were treated to a first class meal, that was absolutely
delicious! The staff are so friendly and helpful, and will do everything that realistically can to accommodate special requests. We have such peace of mind knowing that we have chosen the very best care home for our dad.

Reply from David Windeatt, Client Liaison Manager at Camberley Woods Care Home - Avery Collection

Thank you for the wonderful review. We are all so pleased that Dad is happy and settled since his move. I will be sure to pass on your kind words to all of the team looking after him.

Lots of kind caring staff, those giving personal care, the maintenance team, the gardener all making life as good as it could be. My mother could be difficult in a bad mood, but she apologised and staff accepted it with good grace. People knew about all the family and spoke to her about us all. Family!

Since this home was taken over, the prices have risen, which we were told was due to a staff wage increase. We are aware that the staff have not had a pay increase for some time. There are staff shortages which have impacted the care of our mother.

Reply from David Windeatt, Client Liaison Manager at Camberley Woods Care Home - Avery Collection

Unfortunately a very disappointing review, so to deal with the points raised by EB.
There was a price increase in January 2024 following an annual review, which was in line with inflation. This does happen every year and which after several years with us, the family would have expected. The increase was based on several inflationary factors and was not just about staff wages which at that time any increases had not been concluded.
There are no staff shortages and we are still very proud of our home's reputation for not using agency staff.
In the years Mum was with us there were never any concerns raised over her care and we were all sad to see her leave and would welcome her return at any time.

The home is always bright and clean and the staff are welcoming. I had lunch with Mum every day and I was impressed with the range of food and the presentation. Every single staff member I met was respectful and genuinely seemed to care about the residents. I live in Canada and it was reassuring that
Mum is in good hands while I live so far away.

Reply from David Windeatt, Client Liaison Manager at Camberley Woods Care Home - Avery Collection

Thank you for the review. Glad to hear you feel Mum is in such safe hands and that you enjoyed your meals with her during your visits. Safe trip back to Canada and hopefully see you again very soon.

My wife was a resident for just over two years. Having known the home for many years as volunteers, it was where she wanted to live. The staff were excellent in their care for her to her demise. They also treated me with care and consideration above what I would have hoped. For that, I thank them profoundly.

Reply from David Windeatt, Client Liaison Manager at Camberley Woods Care Home - Avery Collection

Thank you for the lovely review, Martin, and your kind words. Your wife was loved by us all here and will be sadly missed. We also thank you both for your time as volunteers, please come and visit us as often as you want, we would be delighted to see you.

Mum has been at Pembroke House for four years now, and it’s turned her life around. After her partner passed, she was very isolated, but since moving in, she has a new lease of life with so many optional activities going on every day to cater for all tastes. Families and the local community are well
integrated into the social calendar, with frequent invites to social events onsite.
Pembroke House is beautifully appointed and always immaculately clean, both in communal areas and resident suites. It’s such a pleasure to visit. And Mum's bedroom/lounge suite enables her to choose whether to socialise or entertain/spend time alone in her own space.
The dining experience is first class, with a good range of menu options beautifully presented. Staff are always so kind and friendly and take pride in what they do - Mum is well cared for and treated with dignity at all times.

My husband has been a resident since 24th January this year, following a stroke and ongoing dementia. We have been delighted with the treatment my husband has received st Signature. All the staff have been extremely helpful, obliging and friendly. My husband's care has lacked nothing, he is extremely
contented and comfortable, and we, as a family, are grateful for the excellent care he is being given.

Dad is receiving excellent care at Signature at Camberley. He has settled in well on the reminiscence and is content and happy. The nursing staff are highly professional and very helpful and also show care and understanding for my mother, who visits regularly. The family enjoy popping in and spending
quality time with Granpa in the lovely surrounding and yummy cake!

Reply from David Windeatt, Customer Liaison Manager at Camberley Woods Care Home - Avery Collection

Dear Louise, we are so pleased that Dad is happy and that you believe he is receiving excellent care from the nursing team. It is so nice to pass on such a positive review to all of our staff that you and the family are so pleased. I'll give a special shout-out to the kitchen for their yummy cake!

My mum moved from the hospital to Signature following a fall. Signature care prioritises the residents' care to ensure they receive the highest quality care, support, therapies, nurturing and kindness. We felt Signature was the best place for Mum, and it is meeting all our hopes. Mum is settling in
well and, in a few weeks, is healing well and happy. Thank you, everyone.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.516)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.516) out of 10 for Camberley Woods Care Home - Avery Collection 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 4.7 out of 5 from 13 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 4.802 for Camberley Woods Care Home - Avery Collection is calculated as follows: ( (144 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.802

  • 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 4.714 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Camberley Woods Care Home - Avery Collection is based on 13 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 91 registered maximum number of service users is 18.2. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.2 = 0.714

  • 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.
