My experience at Signature at Camberley was entirely positive. I arrived after a traumatic three weeks in a Frech hospital with a fractured femur and wasn't able to walk for four weeks. I leave feeling so much better, walking with only one crutch after complete and loving care, food, freedom, and very
able to sit in the garden and patio. The staff, without exception, were real carers.

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

Thank you for your kind words, Anne; it was a pleasure to look after you and see you go home healthier and happier than on arrival. If you ever visit the area again, please come in for a coffee and a catch-up.

On arrival at the care home, we were greeted very nicely and accompanied by a guide, which provided direction and details perfectly. Cleanliness was constantly being updated, and staff were always checking. Exercises areas always being clean and rubbish removed. Food is of high quality, and everybody

We were welcomed in reception and offered coffee and biscuit in the lovely foyer. We were greeted in a similar way upstairs. The staff we met were all efficient, pleasant and helpful. The resident's welfare was discussed with us. I was very impressed by the outside areas, which were attractive and welcoming.
I hoped to visit again, but sadly our family member died. Thank you for our experience with you.

My husband has been here since September 2021 after having a bad time in another care home and six weeks in the hospital. We were shown around, and he came to the best home you could wish for. Every day is a special day, St Patrick's, VE Day, Easter, Christmas and Valentine's, all have been celebration
days. Every day he does something, even though he has dementia.

Thank you so much for your kind words, and that your husband is in the best home you could wish for.

I have been a resident here for 3-years now, and the service and care I receive are second to none. I am totally paralysed, and I have everything I need to help me through the day, a lovely private room decorated with my own pictures and photos and a view and access to a beautiful well-kept garden.
I have 24-hour care at hand if I need it, and the carers and nursing staff are always so friendly and helpful, some of whom I can honestly say have become good friends.
The building is open and bright and kept always spotlessly clean. The dining room is like a restaurant, and there is always a variety of meals and snacks on offer. Also, they have a lot of different activities throughout the day if people want to partake.

My mother has had a second respite stay at Gracewell of Camberley. Having worked in the care industry for over 40 years and having worked as a regional director of care home facilities I can honestly say that this home is outstanding in every way. The care and compassion showed to my mother and us as
a family is unbeatable. Words cannot describe how grateful we are for all that you have done for us. This home is simply the best.

Our parents came to Gracewell in October 2019 as our mother was finding it increasingly hard to look after our father in their own home and needed daily support. Our father died in the home in December with us all around him and being quietly supported with care and consideration by the staff. We are
so grateful to have had that support. They helped ease the way for him and us all over the last couple of weeks of his life.
Our mother stayed on in the home for a few months to regain her strength. She enjoyed the company of others in the home and was involved in a lot of the activities run by the lovely staff. They really do try to make it a real home for everyone staying there. All of the staff that looked after our parents showed genuine care and friendship and we are very grateful to you all.

Like so many families, I needed to find a care home for my elderly mother at very short notice in early 2019. Having quickly visited 8 other homes in the area, it was immediately obvious to me, from the minute I walked through the front door, that Gracewell was the perfect solution for Mum. Not only
are the rooms and facilities spacious, homely and very clean, but the management team and all staff are superb, with an effective and wonderful team spirit. I am kept well informed at all times and they have an excellent and varied activity programme. Most importantly to the family, Mum has been very happy at Gracewell since the day she moved in - and loves the food!

Mum moved into Gracewell at the end of January after several inpatient admissions to hospital. We were looking for a home that would provide Mum with the care she needed and give us peace of mind that she would be well looked after. As soon as I stepped through the entrance to Gracewell I knew Mum would
be happy here. Everywhere is bright and airy - an essential as Mum has AMD and her vision is much better within a brighter environment. All the corridors are light and spacious and the rooms are a very good size, kitted out with lovely modern furniture and furnishings. The staff are extremely welcoming, putting Mum at ease when she first arrived. She has thrived in their care and having daily activities has kept her occupied during these difficult times of the pandemic - and although we have been unable to visit we know that she is in the best place. We are so grateful we found Gracewell of Camberley when we did!

I have been so impressed with how Gracewell of Camberley has handled things during the COVID crisis. They took fast and comprehensive action to protect residents and staff. Whilst it has been difficult not being able to visit, the home has set up video calling so we have at least been able to see each
other.
Now they have opened for visitors, the process is again comprehensive and inspires confidence. From being checked on the way in, issued with gloves and a mask and my aunt's room set up so as we were the required distance from each other, every step of the way, you feel safe. And the fact the home closed to retest everyone after 2 weeks of visits, and the results were clear, demonstrates to me that their provisions are working incredibly well.
The home has been endeavouring to keep residents well entertained and spirits up during this period, which can't be easy but, from listening to my aunt, they are doing a fabulous job!
I would not hesitate to recommend Gracewell Camberley.

Mum has been at Gracewell for one and a half years and her care has been excellent throughout. The staff are attentive and friendly... happy to do anything to help and always very skilful and caring. The rooms and facilities are beautifully appointed and clean and the life the residents have here seems
calm and relaxed. Over the last difficult months, the staff have excelled and their organisation has always been well communicated and ahead of the game. Even visiting Mum last week for the first time in months was brilliantly well co-ordinated, safe but still friendly. Mum has Alzheimer's and dementia so is not really aware of what is going on outside but she has never had any anxiety throughout the whole period which is such a comfort to my brother and I.

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.
