My mother was at the home for 6 years but sadly died last year.
My father has been at the home for a year and a half now.
I am full of praise for all the staff there.
Their attention to detail, care and ensuring the dignity of the clients is awesome.
The home has an excellent communication policy,
I am in regular contact with the staff and I always feel welcome to visit my father whenever I want to.
The staff all seem very well trained and well informed regarding the clients and their needs.
I feel very happy that my father and my mother before him are very well looked after.

I would rate my mother’s experiences at St Dominic’s as Excellent, the care staff are wonderful and all resident's treated with respect and dignity.
The manager is the most professional, friendly, compassionate of any of the care homes that my mother has been in.
The head of care and nursing staff
(RGN), very professional, kind and compassionate and ready to assist always. One nurse in particular and my mother are very close and share many happy times.
The senior carers, are very good. They are kind, caring and always ready to assist. Two senior carers have become very close to my mother and a very deep friendship with love and laughter.
The carers, work very hard, professional and are friendly and always there to assist or just have a chat.
Activities, some really nice things both from a sensory and a cognitive standpoint.
Food - The quality of the food is very good.
Room - The rooms are very nice and clean with enough space to live in.


Recommended for long-term or respite care.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

I was told to just walk into St. Dominic's and not to make an appointment as I would see the home as it really is. Well this I did and I was amazed, reception greeted me and took me to the office where I was introduced. I was then shown around the home. Every time we passed a member of staff I was greeted
with a Good Afternoon and a beaming smile. Everywhere was so clean and no smells that I had expected.
Now that my mother is now a resident I see how lovely the staff are towards mum. They are always kind and nothing is too much trouble. When mum is a little out of sorts the staff greet me straight away and inform me of what the problem seems to be so I can deal with it with mum. Nothing is ever any trouble.
Well Done To All Staff.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.539)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.539) out of 10 for Seaview Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 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 4.660 for Seaview Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (137 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 188 Ratings = 4.66

  • 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 4.879 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Seaview Nursing Home is based on 16 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. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.2 = 0.879

  • 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.
