Ever since I went to Trembaths I have been treated as part of a loving family, although it is my husband who is the resident. My husbands care & comfort have been exceptional in every way. The kindness of all , including cleaners as well as carers has been lovely, both to him & all our family. I thank
god he is where he is & although I miss him, I no longer worry about him. Thank you to everyone.

Such friendly staff care for my very elderly, almost blind mother with love, respect and care. They seem to have her interests at heart and give her personal help. She has settled in well and she appreciates their help.

We are so happy that our dad is in Trembaths. He is so well looked after and cared for. He has had fewer issues and infections since having their 24-hour care. The staff are, without exception, friendly, kind, caring and respectful, to both him and other members of our family. The manager has gone above
and beyond, with support and advice on dealing with various agencies. We can't thank them enough.

My Mother is 99 and moved to Trembaths in mid-December 2024. She was in a state of shock after a flood in her flat in October and made an emergency move to live with two daughters one after another. She is now settling down and gaining her confidence back under the care and help she is now getting.

Trembaths staff are taking care of my father really well. He's always comfortable, clean and happy. We are kept informed of any changes, such as a recent chest infection. The manager is helping us deal with social services and has a great understanding of the system. We wouldn't want dad anywhere else.
Thank you so much.

Trembaths Home is just that, home for those who live there and the extended family. The outstanding thing as far as I am concerned is that if I have an idea, I can pass those thoughts on, knowing that they will be listened to and if sensible, are implemented. Food is an issue, usually only lukewarm
and needs to be changed. Also quality.

My husband has been in Trembaths for 18 months as he has dementia. Since then, he has become more relaxed, chilled and calmer, this is due to the care he is receiving at Trembaths.

My daughter has been at Trembaths for 18 months. She has a serious condition which means that she is paralised, non-verbal and tube fed - complex medical needs. She is treated with kindness and efficiency by the caring and nurturing staff. Visitors are welcomed and made to feel part of the family. Care
couldn't be better.

I had a really lovely day with my mum at the care home. In the afternoon the activity was bowling. It was great to see so many residents playing and having a lovely time, in a beautiful garden. Lots of laughter. The members of staff running the bowling were very organised and made the experience tons
of fun. A member of staff who was on her way home offered and took me and my mum to the right place and set my mum to play, really kind.
All of the staff are so kind and extremely helpful. One member of the kitchen staff, who was very busy, was more than happy to put down what she was doing, to let me out of the building. The security is well managed to get in and out of the building, as well as inside.
It is an amazing care home and my mum is really lucky to live there. I came back home with no worries for my mum. I know all her needs are more will be met.

Good, reliable, attentive staff who have had an unsettling upheaval of renovations that took place making it upsetting for staff and patients in my opinion it was very poorly planned and exceptionally drawn out. Staff have been more attentive with attention to detail since the return of a senior member
to the dementia area.

Reply from Renaud Sockalingum, Home Manager at Trembaths

Thank you for your feedback, which will be passed on to the team members. Renovation works are never easy in a busy care home and apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused. We are now back on track with the most pleasant and safer surroundings for all our residents.

Since her admission following several falls at home, my mother-in-law has been so much happier. The standard of care is excellent and the home was rigorous to protect residents from covid. She looks well and is well cared for. Her key worker is kindness itself. We find Trembaths to be a well-run home
with excellent care.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.757)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.757) out of 10 for Trembaths 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.757 for Trembaths is calculated as follows: ( (158 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 202 Ratings = 4.757

  • 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 Trembaths is based on 17 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 51 registered maximum number of service users is 10.2, which has been reached with 17 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.
