My mother has been in Summer Lane since August 24. She is well looked after, she is treated as an individual and all her care needs are facilitated with dignity and respect. I have no complaints at all. My mum is always happy and chatty clean and tidy. The cleanliness of the home is exceptional and
it always smells nice. Her room is lovely and homely having brought her stuff in from home to make it her room. All the staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble for anyone. The reception staff are also very helpful and happy. I love visiting my mum and chatting to staff it's like our extended family. Summer Lane you shine. I will always recommend your home.
And the fine dining experience was absolutely amazing, and would definitely recommend this if they have a special occasion and want to celebrate with a meal with family. I'm happy that my mum is happy and that's what matters. The transition from home to care home was such an impeccable move.

Mum was placed at the home initially for respite but is now a permanent resident. It was clear from the very start that she was going to be looked after and her care needs met. All the staff are friendly, caring and empathetic not only to Mum but to the family too. It's peace of mind to know that she
is safe, clean and comfortable. The home provides an excellent environment with clean rooms, smart communal areas and excellent facilities. The care staff are fantastic - however, if some had better English that would help!

I can honestly say my mother is getting the best care from reception staff, manager, carers, nurses, laundry staff, cleaners and everyone else I might have left out at Summer Lane. Everyone is cheerful, always smiling and greets the visitors like one of the family. Mum is happy and well cared for and
I know when I leave I do not have to worry. They phone and keep me up to date on her care so I never felt left in the dark. Summer Lane are just the best.

Whether it was the warm-hearted friendliness of the reception staff that greeted people visiting their loved ones, the kind and efficient care given to my father by the health care team, or the attention given to the cleanliness of the home itself. On the regular upkeep of the gardens situated at the
centre of the home's buildings. Summer Lane provided my dad in the last year of his life with an environment that was safe, caring and comfortable. Here the patient mattered, my dad was not just another sick person- a number on the list. The Summer Lane team treated him as if he were their own and we will always be so thankful to them for that.

Thank you so much for your lovely review and for taking the time to do it.

Mum has been here on the dementia floor for a little over a year now and is loving it. She is well cared for and comfortable. The staff are friendly and caring but sometimes communication can be an issue, especially when they phone my father, who is slightly deaf and struggles to understand accents
on the phone.
The home itself is so well thought out and the decor and furnishings are lovely. We especially like the cafe downstairs as it gives Mum the feeling she has been 'out'. It has also been a great place for my father to meet the families of other service users and share experiences and support each other.

Reply from Vimal Samuel, Home Manager at Summer Lane Care & Nursing Home

Thank you for your lovely review, I will pass on your comments to my staff. May I suggest that next time you visit please meet with our Deputy who will be more than happy to discuss how to make the communication with your father better going forward. So glad you are all enjoying the coffee shop it has become a lovely meeting place for families and residents.

Since my husband was taken into care I have seen wonderful care and patience given from the staff. They will always find the time to discuss any worries I may have or will tell who else could help. It took my husband a while to settle but through their understanding and patience, he has at last settled
down. He loves to go into their love cafe and weather permitting likes to go into the garden. Thank you to everyone.

Mum was admitted to the nursing home during covid and remained there until she sadly passed away in May 2024. I can't thank the Summer Lane team enough for their excellent care. Every member of the staff jollied her along and had time to interact with her. Great care and dignity was taken at all times
with her needs. The family were always kept informed of any changes/requirements.
Each visit I made to the home was also a pleasure for me, as I was always greeted by all the staff and had friendly chats. Summer Lane is so beautifully decorated, fresh and clean, bright and sunny. The nursing facilities are second to none and the staff use them professionally.
Mums' later years were made safe and secure, comfortable and fun.
Thank you.

Wow, what a beautiful home, more like a 5 star hotel than a residential care home. My aunt originally went to Summer Lane for respite at the end of December 2022. Whilst she was there it was made apparent it was no longer safe for her to live at home with her husband due to the deterioration of her
dementia. This was a difficult time for my uncle to see his wife go into a care home. Summer Lane staff gave reassurance, as they not only care for their residents, but also listen to the needs and well-being of the families too.
Due to living in Kent I have only visited Summer Lane a couple of times February and September, each time I was greeted by friendly staff who made me welcome. I found my aunt content and happy. This home is clean, modern light and airy environment with exceptional staff who work very hard to make their clients feel safe calm and happy, as well as dealing with their personal needs, of which can be very different and challenging. I would definitely recommend this home.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. I will pass on to my staff your comments and how happy you are with the care your aunt is receiving. It is always a difficult time for families and it is important to us that, when a resident comes in to our care, we make their family part of our family and care for them, as well and support them through what is such a stressful time.

2022 saw my wife admitted to Summer Lane Care Home. We experienced similar things to those of most families in a similar situation.
I visited my wife every day, but acting on advice from my doctor and everyone else close to me, I now visit five times a week.
My wife is safe, content and cared for
by staff who are kind, compassionate and loving. They perform many acts of kindness to the residents every day, which makes them feel loved and wanted and they are always available to family members who have concerns about a loved one.
The management team are always available to help with any issues that remain unresolved. Their motto is 'better to resolve problems as they occur than wait and let them fester'. I hope these words are helpful to others.

Summer Lane has to be the best nursing home. The purpose-built building is light and airy and the exterior is welcoming. All rooms are en-suite and a good size. The whole staff team are friendly and efficient. The furnishings in the lounges are five star hotel quality and the little gardens are a treat.
The cosy cafe is a gem and a real bonus. Visiting times are not restricted. Due to staff shortages, activities are restricted, the present staff work very hard and do a great job, but could do with some help. Visitors are made very welcome.

Mum was admitted to the hospital from Summer Lane care home. Her dress and slippers were soaked in urine. Staff at the hospital said the slippers could be rung out, so wet. Pressure sores to bottom ungraded as so bad. The staff told the family mother was on antibiotics by the Doctor. Mar sheets were
supplied from Summer Lane to A&E, no antibiotics were prescribed. Summer Lane said mother was found on the floor at 04.00. How long was my mother on the floor? We want answers! Mother's handbag missing, reported to the staff. Ten days later emailed the home, said report to a higher team and the blanket missing, but still no response. Summer Lane has not made any attempt to contact us to see how my mother is! Safeguarding reports are in place from the hospital.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.689)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.689) out of 10 for Summer Lane Care & 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 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 4.689 for Summer Lane Care & Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (255 Excellents x 5) + (51 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 325 Ratings = 4.689

  • 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 Summer Lane Care & Nursing 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 120 registered maximum number of service users is 24, 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.
