My mother is a high need dementia resident. She transferred from another local home after 3 miserable years and a highly unfavourable assessment. It's been the best thing to happen. The improvement in the quality of her care is immeasurable. Her change in her demeanour is unrecognisable from before.
She is much more settled. Her weight has increased. She is always well dressed (even in coordinated colours!). The attention to care provided by the staff is just as you would wish it, but more so having experienced far from satisfactory care previously. The staff always seem to have time for her and for you. If they say they are busy but will be back in 10 minutes, they are as good as their word. They know her needs and they anticipate those needs. I have also evidenced their care plans and been invited to review them. Again not having seen these before I appreciate how professional the level of care being provided. The rooms may not be 5* but are comfortable and practical.

I visited a friend who I had recommended to Emily Jackson House Care Home following excellent care received by my mother, a few years ago. My friend was in a nice sunlit room with en-suite facilities and said she felt very happy with the welcome and kind attention she had received since living here,
following major surgery which meant she could not live at home for a while. In fact, she told me that the chef had visited her personally in light of her current eating difficulties to make sure she was fed appropriately to her health problems. The home had recently been refurbished to a high, light and modern standard, not at all like other care homes I have visited and I am confident she will receive the same appropriate care and attention my mother did.

Barchester Emily Jackson House Care Home provided very good step down nursing care to my Dad following a major heart attack. The nursing director is excellent - calm, professional, experienced and kind. The administration manager is also very good. Because my Dad was in Barchester Emily Jackson House
Care Home over the summer, there were more agency staff than I would have liked, but the permanent staff were competent and kind.

I am impressed by the level of care the standard of the facilities and the attitude of the staff. Although some of the staff are from an agency, there appears to be an attempt to employ those staff on a constant basis, so that there is generally a continuity in those people who care for my mother.

My husband only spent ten days at Emily Jackson House but in that time they got him up and dressed and into the dining room to be with the other people and to feed himself. This followed a long stay in hospital where he was confined to bed. The staff were kind and encouraging.

My mother stayed for one months convalescents at Emily Jackson House where all the staff were caring courteous and friendly. They were also very aware that residents need time alone to read or watch TV which for my mum was perfect. The menu was very varied and a good choice of simple alternatives if
the daily fare wasn't suitable. Good access to tea and water or any drink. The home is in a lovely setting with garden facilities. It's in a quiet setting yet only a few minutes from the town. As a first experience of this kind we as a family were extremely impressed with all that Emily Jackson House had to offer.

Our mum received the best care possible at Barchester Emily Jackson House. All carers and nurses showed great sensitivity and did all they could to help her feel comfortable and safe. All staff welcomed and supported us as a family. Although mum only stayed 4 days before she died, we felt that she
had been in the best possible place. Thank you to all staff at     Barchester Emily Jackson House.

From the first interview in March we have found everybody we have come in contact with have been extremely knowledgeable, helpful and caring. My husband has been unable to do anything for himself and I have found that nothing is too much trouble. The nurses, carers and from the general manager downwards
everybody has been hands on. Every patient is special to the carers and everything has been done to make my husband as comfortable and happy as possible. It is a home I would recommend to anybody who needed a nursing home. I believe some residents have been here many years, just as a home this is a place that everybody is made to feel at home.

I visit my mother on a regular basis and at unexpected times, sometimes early, the middle of the day or evening. Not once have I been given cause for worry or complaint. The staff at all levels are friendly, welcoming and professional. My mother is treated with dignity and her privacy respected. She
does not display any signs of being mistreated and responds well to all the staff. The manager of the home visits each room regularly and knows all residents by name, and makes every effort to have a rapport with them.

Dad had many care needs including Parkinsons and dementia and stayed at Emily Jackson for three happy years. Many of the team who work at Emily Jackson have been there for several years and it's obvious that they take great pride in their work and the care they provide to all the residents, which is
outstanding.

The team at Emily Jackson take time to get to know their residents and anticipate their needs perfectly including the little things that make their days better, such as dietary likes and dislikes and daily habits like quiet time, etc. Visitors are always made very welcome too.

Before deciding on Emily Jackson care home, Mum visited all the care homes in the Sevenoaks / Tonbridge / Tunbridge Wells areas, she definitely made the right choice and was so pleased with Dad’s care.

Placing a relative is a difficult decision for anyone, but the team at Emily Jackson are truly wonderful and recommended without hesitation - 'thank you' for everything.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.593)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.593) out of 10 for Barchester Emily Jackson House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.593 for Barchester Emily Jackson House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (259 Excellents x 5) + (58 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (10 Poors x 2) + (9 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 344 Ratings = 4.593

  • 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 Barchester Emily Jackson House Care Home is based on 27 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 55 registered maximum number of service users is 11, which has been reached with 27 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.
