My husband spent three years at Steep House. He enjoyed being part of the community.
The staff were caring and supportive of both my husband and our family.
In his last year, he could do little but the odd ice cream or milkshake gave him great pleasure.
Steep House's strength is it's well trained
staff, many young and lively, which adds to the atmosphere.
There was always a welcome, an offer of a cup of tea and help when needed.

In gratitude for the care that my mother was shown in her final six months and wish to enhance the benefits for the other residents of Steep House; I undertook a cycling challenge to raise funds for Dementia UK and to contribute towards the Steep House Residents Fund. This latter fund is used to provide
additional resources for the residents, with the current aim to purchase a Vecta Mobile Sensory Unit to stimulate residents suffering from Dementia.
My aim was to travel from the furthest point west to the furthest point east in Great Britain. I commenced my cycle ride at Lands End on the 13th May and over the course of the following six days finished my ride in Lowestoft after 532 miles on the road. Friends and family have supported my causes to the tune of £1100, which hopefully will go some way to aiding the good work that is undertaken by both organisations.

Mum moved to Steep Hose when her dementia made it impossible for me to care for her at home. She was very happy there, was well looked after. She was always clean and looked well cared for. Mum could be very difficult but they were very patient and kind. She developed a bad skin infection - the nursing
staff managed this extremely well. I am very happy with the way she was looked after. I cannot fault the way she was cared for in any way.

Care and attention unsurpassed.
As I was recovering from a hip replacement, I needed a fully accessible toilet with bards to lean on. I couldn't find one on the ground floor. As my room (chair much too low) was on the first floor I had to continually go upstairs to my toilet, which was ideal, if only
there were others like it.
The thoughtfulness and care of all the staff was amazing. They were always so willing and cheerful.

Originally when I came to Steep House it was only for a short stay but my partner who had a chest problem could not be taken care of at home so I decided to stay. I do not rue that decision. My partner passed away over 3 years ago, Lord rest her soul. I have made lots of friends in the staff and residents
so I'm, a very happy guy. As far as I am concerned I am a very well contented man.

I moved my mother to Steep House about 12 months ago. I felt at the time that I was very lucky to have found this place and I have never regretted my decision. My mother is extremely well cared for. They take the time to know each person individually and she is always treated with dignity and “as herself”.
The range of activities is enormous and Mum takes part as well as she can, and seems to enjoy herself thoroughly. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff, who are always friendly and approachable.The food is good too!

Since my father moved to Steep House Nursing Home at the end of February 2017, he has been very well looked after. The staff are very caring with the residents and always greet me with a smile and a hello. There is a lovely homely feel about the place and my father settled quickly and is very happy
to be living at Steep.

My mother has been extremely well cared for at Steep House. Although confused, she has said many times that she is happy there and the staff are very helpful and caring.
Over the four months, she has been at Steep House, there has bee a noticeable improvement in her mobility caused, I believe, by
her being encouraged to move around more - 'use it or lose it'. There is also a discernable improvement in her mental ability.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.891)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.891) out of 10 for Steep House Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 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 4.891 for Steep House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (206 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 230 Ratings = 4.891

  • 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 Steep House Nursing 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 56 registered maximum number of service users is 11.2, 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.

Kerry

Kerry Dale

Job Title: Lifestyles Lead

Joined: 2022

I started working in the care industry 8 years ago, looking after people in their own homes. I found that the part of the job I enjoyed most was the interactions with the elderly. I worked as a carer at Steep House for a couple of years before taking on Lifestyle Lead’s role. Being a Lifestyle Lead allows me to spend time talking and interacting with the residents, providing them with as much variety and entertainment in their daily lives as possible, as well as giving them someone to talk to when they need it.


My family and I live at a local school where my husband teaches. I have two children aged 19 and 22 and two small dogs. I love music (I play piano and guitar), doing jigsaw puzzles and spending time with family and friends.


Sandra

Sandra Owens

Job Title: Lifestyle Assistant

I thoroughly enjoy engaging with residents and encouraging them with a range of activities available at Steep House. Being a team member, allows me to utilise my fantastic team's strengths and work together to improve residents' time here.


One of the favourite parts of my role is when a resident has enjoyed an activity or has surprised themselves by engaging in an activity.


Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends.


Sarinya

Sarinya Lush

Job Title: Head Chef

Joined: 2009

Before joining the Steep family in 2009, I worked in an Asian restaurant, where I acquired valuable knowledge and skills that I now bring to my role here.


I find immense joy in working with our residents, ensuring they receive meals tailored to their preferences and supporting them in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. My dedication extends beyond the kitchen, and at home, I’m kept busy by my wonderful husband and three children—a daughter and twin boys.


Food holds a special place in my heart, and I’m passionate about it both personally and professionally. In my free time, I indulge in my love for baking and creating delicious Asian dishes. Interestingly, I also learned to cook English dishes from my talented mother-in-law.


I’m excited to be a part of the Steep team and contribute to the well-being of our residents through my love for food and culinary expertise. Let’s create memorable dining experiences together!
