The staff are always friendly and welcoming, they are always willing to help. Many activities are encouraged every day of the week, which is brilliant and also lovely to see the residents enjoying themselves or hearing all about what they have been doing when you go to visit. Clean, tidy, warm and friendly.

My mother has been a resident for 1 year now and has improved so much during the time here. She has become much more confident and relaxed. She has a great rapport with all the staff and residents. The activities are a great addition and enjoyed by so many of the residents. I would defiantly recommend
the home.

Mum has been a resident of Paternoster House for nearly two and a half years and during this time she has been cared for in a kind and dignified manner, in a secure and safe environment. Mum's health has not been good during this time, but the staff have helped bring her through some difficult times,
promptly responding to the various challenges she has faced. We as a family are very grateful.

Our dad was treated with extreme care and they gave us our 'old dad' back within a couple of weeks, it was amazing to see him improving and something we never imagined was possible. He had been urgently admitted to a respite bed, unable to stand unaided and extremely frail - although his disabilities
are obviously still there, he's a different man and we will never be able to thank the staff and volunteers enough. When the chance became available, we needed to move him closer to home, we can only hope his health continues in the same direction.

My mother has been a resident since September 2015. We have found the staff of the home very friendly and polite to all the family.
Maybe one thing of concern, difference of opinion within the nursing staff over dosage of paracetamol given to my mother. Otherwise mum is happy and well looked after.

Reply from Joy Warren, Home Manager at Paternoster House

I much appreciate you taking the time to submit this review and am glad that your Mum is happy and settled at Paternoster House. I am also pleased that I have been able to talk to you to clarify the apparent difference of opinion that had arisen regarding medication dosage and that your concern in this regard has now been resolved. Please do not hesitate to come and see me at any time, should you wish to discuss any aspect of your Mum's care.

Mum receives excellent care. All staff adapt quickly to her changing and deteriorating condition. The nursing staff communicate frequently with the family and the manager has been extremely helpful with advice and support. The nursing home is well rooted in the community with excellent volunteer support
that adds to the welcoming and home like atmosphere. It's well supported by local GP's and pharmacies. Staff at every level contribute to mum's needs.

My mother has been living in Paternoster House since January 2015. I was very concerned about her moving into residential care but have been most impressed by the care given to her. The staff have shown themselves understanding of her needs and willing to do all they can to support her in practical
matters and to respond to her feelings with sensitivity.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.712)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.712) out of 10 for Paternoster House 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.712 for Paternoster House is calculated as follows: ( (113 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.712

  • 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 Paternoster House is based on 13 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 13 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.
