My mother-in-law was put into respite care, so we could have a break, however, it appeared that basic care was lacking, medication was not given correctly, a visitor noticed tablets in her mouth, and not being treated with respect. We had no choice but to remove her from the home, as the whole experience
was having a negative impact on her health.

Reply from Tim Wilson, Director at Apsley House Care Home

Sorry you feel this way however we do not regard this as an accurate review of our service. None of these issues or concerns were raised to our staff of the Home Manager at the time and therefore could not be investigated or verified. We are rated 'Good' in all areas by CQC and were positively reviewed by Local Authority Monitoring. All other recent reviews by clients, relatives and external professionals are also positive.

Dad went to Apsley House Care Home for, what turned out to be, the last ten months of his life. He had dementia and become immobile which made it quite challenging to care for him but we always found the staff friendly and Dad had a laugh with them. He seemed to be well looked after and we were able
to visit without too much notice and sometimes none. He was encouraged to join in activities but was not always keen to - the choice was his. The worry of his health and well-being during his last months was alleviated to a great extent by Apsley for which we are very grateful. He died aged 94.

Mum was only here for three weeks and spent most of her time in bed, I am unable to mark the food and activities as she wasn't eating or drinking. That being said the whole staff were helpful, warm and friendly and treated Mum the way she deserved. Thank you to all the staff.

From the very first step into Aspley House, we, as a family, felt our father (step-day, husband and grandad) had arrived at the best place we could have wished for from day one until the day he passed. The most perfect place to have en-of-life from an awful Pancreatic Cancer but all made easier by all
the amazing staff and team at Apsley House. We are so grateful as a family.

From my first visit to Dad at Apsley House, all the staff have gone above and beyond to make us feel welcome and treat the home as our home. From the time end-of-life care started, they have made sure we have been informed of all decisions. He was treated with the utmost dignity at all times, and although
his final hours were the hardest, they were also made the easiest by the love and care shown by all the staff.

My brother went to live at Apsley House in July. Straight away we were made to feel welcome. He was well cared for and he loved the outside area by the fountain. My brother passed away on 1st October 2022. They made his last few days peaceful. I was with him over those days and I was also well looked
after.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.621)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.621) out of 10 for Apsley 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 28 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 4.621 for Apsley House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (241 Excellents x 5) + (67 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 330 Ratings = 4.621

  • 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 Apsley 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 35 registered maximum number of service users is 7, 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.
