  • St Peter's House Care Home, Bury St Edmunds
St Peters House is situated in the market town of Bury St Edmunds. This 18th century home is homely and warm, but with all the modern amenities to make guests feel comfortable and safe.

The home has beautiful gardens, which host a patio area, fruit trees, walnut trees, and they even grow their own tomatoes. The dining area is like that of a hotel and lounges are cosy.

The energy is high at St Peters, with activities on every day and sometimes every hour and events are enjoyed by both residents and their families. The sound of laughter and fun is regularly heard in the home.

Our mum was at St Peter's for 5 years and the care she received was outstanding. So kind and loving towards our mum. From the day she came to the end of her life. Would recommend St Peter's very highly, our mum was very happy there.

St Peter's House is a wonderful care home. My mother, who had Alzheimer's, was looked after sensitively and with great kindness and respect during the time she lived there. All the people who work there are kind, caring, hardworking and professional. The kitchen provides excellent meals and residents
can choose what and when they eat and drink. There are lots of well-planned activities organised including trips, musical events and arts and crafts. The end of life care is compassionate and dignified. I would not hesitate to recommend St Peters to anyone looking for a good quality care home.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.822)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.822) out of 10 for St Peter's House Care 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 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 4.822 for St Peter's House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (160 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 191 Ratings = 4.822

  • 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 St Peter's House Care 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 16 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.
