With my brother, we visited a number of care homes before choosing Roberton Nursing Home for our mother, as we felt that she was no longer able to live alone. For us, Robertson Nursing Home ticked many boxes. We feel strongly that what matters most is human care, kindness and respect of residents dignity.
The staff are warm, friendly and very patient. They definitely have a sense of humour too.
The management and nursing staff seem very competent. It would be great if it was possible to let residents have more access to various facilities for stimulation.

My mother had been a resident for just over a year before her death in July. The care she received was first class. Staff at all levels treated her as they would their own family, and my mother loved it there. Despite occasional challenging behaviour on my mother's part, the love given to her was unwavering.
Her death was handled with love and dignity. I can't speak highly enough of the home as a whole.

My mother enjoys the comfort and friendliness offered, feeling secure and cared for. Every room is individual and residents are encouraged to live with as many familiar items of furniture/pictures as possible to make it as homely as required. She arrived feeling lonely and with little self-esteem -
now enjoying the company of other residents and staff, feeling much part of the community with the home.

An excellent experience with first rate staff - supportive, responsive and understanding. Good at consulting patient re way forward. Chef/cook consults each day regarding my diet and offers a flexible response.


This is my third period of recuperation - and confirms my high opinion of this nursing

home.

My mother was only resident at Robertson Nursing Home for 6 weeks. It was her very first time in a nursing home apart from a short stay in a very large modern home. She found Robertson Nursing Home to be a very homely welcoming place to be and was very happy there. The staff were all extremely helpful
and sympathetic and made her feel welcome and at home. Unfortunately, it was discovered (by a very attentive senior nurse) that mum had a large growth in her chest which eventually she died from. I found the staff to be extremely gentle and sympathetic in dealing with both my mother and the entire family and we felt instantly confident in leaving mum in their hands. They became part of our family and we will miss them.

My Grandmother initially went into Robertson Nursing Home at the age of 97 as my Mother could no longer care for her. Already very ill, she slipped away within six weeks during which time I have never met such a group of wonderful, caring people as I did there. I cannot fault their commitment and friendly
attitude toward both residents and their families. It was so difficult to put our loved one in the hands of strangers at first but all the staff quickly made her feel safe and cared for, even after keeping her independence for all her years, within a couple of weeks she referred to Robertson as 'home'. During her last few days when we spent many hours sitting with her, we were cared for and looked after by the staff and management with such affection. I would wholeheartedly recommend this home for those looking for a home away from home for their loved one.

As a family, we cannot thank the nurses and staff for the wonderful care, kindness and affection they gave to my father in his last months at Robertson. As difficult a decision as it was at the time, we knew it was the best place for dad to be and we feel that he knew that too and the care he received
gave him those extra few weeks with us.


Everyone there has been a great support to me, my mother and our family and I will not forget the kindness and compassion that was shown to us all.

I have great admiration for the wonderful staff and carers. Their kindness and caring attitude far exceeds expectations. My mother receives constant attention and human interaction with cups of tea and very excellent food. The food is of a high quality and lovingly home made, fresh and well presented.
The entertainment is so good that I try to come and watch as well. Robertson's care for my mother much better than I could possibly do myself and for which I will be forever grateful. Thank you.

Due to distance (I live in Bristol) I am unable to visit my mother on a regular basis, but following recent visits, I have nothing but praise and ultimate trust in the staff for the care they give my mother. I know that she is well looked after and very happy and settled.
I am also regularly kept
informed with a newsletter from the home which I find reassuring as it keeps me up to date with all the news about the home.

From the moment I arrived here I didn't want to come to a home but after being here I completely changed my mind. The tender loving care of all the staff made me feel as though I had come into a lovely family. Nothing is too much trouble and the smiles and affection that we receive make you feel that
you are needed and wanted. A little pat on the shoulder and a gentle squeeze of the hand gives you peace and confidence. I find the home is run very well. The staff are very attentive. I can't find the words to praise the home and staff and I consider myself very fortunate to be in such a haven of peace. If I was the queen I could not be treated better.

Robertson is an old, quirky building not purpose built so rooms can be small and without full en-suite facilities. The staff are excellent caring and efficient. My husband has not settled happily but this is not down to the caring staff. There is a qualified nurse there at all times which is another
reason I chose Robertson.

My husband stayed at the Robertson for respite care, it was a great relief to know that he was being looked after by such caring people. Previously he had attended for day care so I knew some of the staff. We are always greeted by now with a friendly smile. The food is good and well presented and suitable
for elderly people to enjoy.

When my mother was transferred from hospital to start her life again in a nursing home, she was very frightened of what was to happen to her, but all she received from the staff was kindness and they seem to care what her views were.
They were also always ready to listen to her family's concerns and
they always seemed to have a suggestion to offer us. So pleased that I had placed my mother in their tender loving care.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.832)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.832) out of 10 for Robertson Nursing Home 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.832 for Robertson Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (205 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 244 Ratings = 4.832

  • 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 Robertson Nursing Home is based on 21 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 41 registered maximum number of service users is 8.2, which has been reached with 21 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.

Gabriella Konczol

Job Title: Registered Manager

I am delighted to have been the Registered Manager at Robertson Nursing Home since January 2023, after taking on the role of Home Manager in 2021. During my two years as Home Manager, I am so proud to have witnessed how far the home and the team have come, even seeing the home named as a finalist for ‘Nursing Home of the Year’ at the 2023 Surrey Care Awards.


I hadn’t worked in care before coming to the UK in 2010, in my home country of Hungary I achieved a bachelor's diploma in Sales and Marketing. The care sector was very different for me at first, but I always like to challenge myself. I absorbed all the knowledge I needed working alongside the former home manager and was given the opportunity to utilise my skills, which helped me to develop in my role.


Working flexibly after having my children was a great advantage. This allowed and helped me to continue to gain leadership skills, and confidence in dealing with difficult situations, and helped to create an excellent team by recruiting staff with the right values.


What I enjoy most about working at Robertson Nursing Home is having the opportunity to work alongside an inspiring team, as well as receiving support from my fellow managers at our sister homes within Beritaz Care.


Monica

Monica Pacala

Job Title: Support Manager

Joined: 2023

I joined the Robertson team in 2023, having worked at their sister home, Ashton Manor since 2014. I am proud to have taken on the role of Support Manager at Robertson.


Before coming to England I had never worked in care and had zero knowledge of the industry, I didn’t know what to expect and my English was very poor. I needn’t have worried, from the get go I was greeted warmly and made to feel very welcome by the entire Beritaz family. The caring, considerate managers and the values of their homes make you want to do well. During my time with Beritaz Care, I have had the opportunity to improve my English and take part in training and qualifications to further my skills.


The residents are great and because we use a person centred approach, respect them, consistently meet their needs and provide friendly, caring, trusting and peaceful environment, they feel safe.


Angela

Angela Mihaescu

Job Title: Clinical Lead

Joined: 2014

I started work as a nurse in an orphanage, caring for around 100 children, and studied English in my spare time. I then went to work in a hospital where I spent eight years, which was wonderful even though the work was very hard. During this time I also studied Management and Marketing for four years.


I decided I needed another challenge, so I came to England to work as a nurse. My first year at Robertson was hard as I was still learning the language, but I did not want to give up as I am a fighter and I hate to run from problems. My confidence increased with big support from Carla, Penny, Dr Grove and all the staff at Robertson: I love them very much and now I find myself inside a big family, all working hard, succeeding and moving forward together. We all want to improve the quality of life for our residents and other people who trust us.


Evelina

Evelina Gavrila

Job Title: Home Administrator

Joined: 2013

I joined the team at Robertson Nursing Home in January 2013 and felt so at home from the start. In 2022 I was promoted to the role of Team Leader.


I previously studied law but never had the chance to practice however, since coming to Robertson I’m pleased to say that I have improved my English and have started on my NVQ Level 3 in Health and Social Care. I was promoted to the role of Home Administrator in September 2022.


I love the Robertson team, it feels like a family, even more so since my husband is part of the team. I enjoy working here and I think the best thing, as others have said, is how much support I’ve received from everyone.


Sharon

Sharon Fisher

Job Title: Chef

Finalist in the Surrey Care Awards 2023.


It was my mum who inspired me to work in care, seeing how happy she was and I wanted to do and feel the same happiness. I worked as a carer for approximately 11 years but when a vacancy opened up for a cook, another passion of mine I was keen to take up the position and enjoy every minute of what I do.


I have achieved many things since working at Robertson Nursing Home, including NVQ level 3 in care and an NVQ level 2 in Catering, but my biggest achievement was receiving the Surrey Care Association Chef of the Year Award in 2019, this was an amazing time for me.


We are one big family, you are valued and your opinions count. The manager always has time for you, she is always there for you and ready to listen to any concerns you may have.


Liz

Liz Carter

Job Title: Cook

I’m one of the longest-serving members of staff at Robertson Nursing Home having first started in the early 1990s. Prior to working in care at the age of 16, I worked at Unsted Park on a YTS Scheme, but care work ran in the family, both my mum and sister worked as carers which inspired me to do the same.


Robertson Nursing Home is like a second family, there is always someone to talk to. I enjoy my work and despite living with Dyslexia I achieved NVQ 2 & 3 in care, I couldn’t have done this without the continued support of the team.


I now work as part of the kitchen team as a Cook, a role which I really enjoy. Robertson Nursing Home is a friendly place to work, everyone is helpful, and you will always be supported by management to other members of the team


Mark

Mark Taylor

Job Title: Maintenance

I have had a varied career, working in the building trade, a lorry driver, working in an abattoir, working in sales and prior to starting work at Robertson Nursing Home I worked as a senior carer in another care home.


I am the homes maintenance man using my skills I picked up in my early career, this is also a varied role and everyday can be different. The training on offer is great and has personally given me the opportunity to grow and learn new skills.


I would encourage anyone to come and work at Robertson Nursing Home, it’s a great place to work, we have a great team of staff who work together really well in a family atmosphere.


Ivanka

Ivanka Maradzhieva

Job Title: Registered Nurse

I spent three years in a medical college in my native Bulgaria, studying to become a general nurse. I worked in various departments including endocrinology, mainly with diabetic patients, trauma and orthopaedic department before coming to England.


I started work as a Care Assistant at Springkell House, becoming Senior Carer four months later. Springkell House is purely residential, so I was given the opportunity to move to Robertson Nursing Home to continue in my profession as a Nurse.


I am very blessed to be with a company willing to support me, provide guidance and help me acquire valuable skills and confidence. I am continuing to enjoy my work; I feel welcomed and supported, and love the friendly environment and atmosphere.


I know my manager is always there for me, and that she will give me the best possible help and advice when it comes to developing my career.


Caroline

Caroline Crawford

Job Title: Team Leader

Joined: 2000

I became a carer at Robertson Nursing Home 15 years ago. In that time I have achieved NVQ Levels 2 & 3 in health care; I’m also a Dementia Champion and I became a Team Leader (and Senior Carer in 2015). I enjoy working at the Robertson Nursing Home because it is like an extended family; it gives me a sense of pride knowing we are all doing our very best to give our residents what they deserve.


Caroline

Caroline Ngwenya

Job Title: Registered Nurse

Joined: 2017

I have been part of the nursing team at Robertson Nursing Home since 2017. Ever since I was a little girl I said I wanted to be a nurse, my mum was a nurse, which influenced me so much growing up. I enjoy working with people, that’s a big part of why I love doing what I do. Before coming to Robertson I had worked in other nursing homes and spent some time working in hospitals.


My role at the home involves looking after our residents and contributing to their care, as well as assisting and supervising the care staff. When I look at the residents and see they are happy and that the carers are treating them well, that makes me very glad. It’s important to all of us that the residents are treated as if they are in their own homes and are able to make their own choices, they feel comfortable and have their independence here. I really enjoy working at Robertson, the home environment, the teamwork and the relationships I get to build with the residents make it an enjoyable place to come to work each day.


Alina

Alina Georghe

Job Title: Team Leader

Joined: 2018

I have been a part of the Robertson Nursing Home team since 2018 and before that, I worked as a nurse in Romania for 12 years. I began working at the home as a Care Assistant before moving into the role of Team Leader after 3 years. I support the team working on the floor, oversee new admissions and keep our residents’ care plans up to date, as well as many other tasks. I find the work very interesting, every day is different here which I like but I never know where the time goes.


I loved working closely with the residents as a Care Assistant, but at the same time, as a Team Leader, I feel like I can have more influence over their care and be involved in creating plans for better care. As a Team Leader, I get to make the residents’ lives better in a different kind of way and make sure their dignity is being upheld. We are a family here, we help each other out and work well as a team. It’s the same atmosphere in all the Beritaz homes, there is a family feel throughout.


I really enjoy my job, at the start it felt very different to my experience working as a nurse and I was quite scared. Looking back I can now see how far I have come and how much confidence I have gained in my time at Robertson. I have grown up since I came here and my time at the home has helped me to grow in many ways.


Ibin

Ibin Joseph

Job Title: Care Assistant (Nights)

Joined: 2022

As soon as I started working in the care industry I understood the feeling of fulfilment you get knowing you are helping people and contributing to society. I have been a Care Assistant at Robertson since the summer of 2022 and immediately found it to be a very affectionate role.


I really enjoy talking to the residents and getting to know them more and more every single day, as well as the bonds that we naturally build over time. My job is all about looking after the residents and their care needs. Everyone here has different abilities and mobility needs, it can be challenging at times but rewarding too. You have to be very careful, it’s not a normal job as it involves caring for other people, and empathy is so important.


Teamwork is key to what we do, without proper teamwork and communication it’s impossible to provide good care. That’s what make Robertson so different and what works so well here, it’s all about the teamwork.
