During my stay at Ladymead, I could not have asked for better care and attention. It was a pleasure to meet the carers and learn a lot about where they came from. Such a happy team!
The only downside was a member of the office staff was very aloof and rude!

My mum was transferred to this care home after a nasty fall in October. She was originally in a care home in another area but she needed the extra help that Ladymead could provide. From the moment she arrived the staff were very friendly, helpful and caring and they did everything they could to make
Mum comfortable and safe.
Very many thanks for everything. I would definitely recommend your care to anyone who needed it.

Mum has recently moved to Ladymead. It’s early days however, I wanted to say what a fantastic welcome she has received. After 3 months in hospital Mum has lost all her confidence and had become a different person after enduring hospital care, she has become so confused and upset. Right from the word
go Ladymead have understood this, even in Covid times I was able to deliver items prior to Mum's arrival to personalise her room. After the appropriate isolation and cleaning, the team set Mum's room up so thoughtfully. They sent me photos of her room set up for her arrival. I must admit to having a tear as Mum had not been cared for like this for so long. Even before her arrival, she was being treated as a person, not a patient, this is so refreshing and reassuring. Thank you everyone at Ladymead for the respect and care you have shown to Mum.

Unfortunately, my mother was only at Ladymead a few months before she sadly passed away, but the care she was given was fantastic. The staff looked after her brilliantly and nothing was ever too much trouble for them. I would highly recommend Ladymead, so professional and caring.

My good friend moved to Ladymead several months ago, after he was very unwell and spent a period in hospital. He is now a permanent resident. In a very short time his health, both physical and mental, have improved drastically. He is very positive about the home whenever I speak to him, enjoying the
meals (cooked breakfast every day!), company, entertainment (bingo etc.), and most importantly relationships with the staff. He talks very highly of them, giving examples of how they help him with any day to day problems he encounters e.g. how to use his mobile phone. The manager is always positive, attentive and full of information about how he is progressing when I contact the home. The staff simply can't do enough for him. This is at odds with what I have heard about other homes and so I felt I should write this review.

I was recommended this home by a friend. In November I had a situation with my parents. Dad had broken his hip and Mum ended up on her own. We had to make a decision for mum as her dementia was starting to take effect. I contacted this care to explain, and immediately the manager understood our position,
so prompt at making an appointment to review my mum, within 2/3 days they were able to accept her. They placed her in a room and told me they were also able to accept dad if needed. Which they have and are both in the same room. I am so pleased I contacted this care home, everything seems perfect, both parents are very happy. To the extent that they think they are on holiday. They both say what hotel is this? Great staff, all so very friendly and caring as it should be.
Well done Ladymead - please do not change, would not hesitate in recommending this care home.

Due to the impact of Covid, we were unable to visit Ladymead prior to Mum's transfer/discharge from hospital and, other than some photos and information we found on the internet, selected the care home "blind". We are extremely pleased and thankful for all the support and care she has received; indeed
her current mental health, in particular, seems to have improved and this can only be due to the care she is receiving.

My mother was in another care home but after a hospital stay, we had to move her to Ladymead for the extra nursing care. As a family, we were a little bit worried how she would settle as she had been so well looked after at her previous home.


All I can say is that if anyone is looking for somewhere

for a family member where they will be cared for and made to feel both loved and special then Ladymead is the place to look at. All through lockdown and beyond all the team have done everything they can to make sure that some sort of contact is maintained with family members whilst keeping everyone safe.


It is always a very difficult decision to admit that your relative can no longer be cared for at home but to know that they are safe and been cared for so well is such a relief for the whole family.

Mum moved into Ladymead in March 2020. It provides a very friendly and caring environment and has a dedicated and professional team of nursing and care staff, many of whom have worked at Ladymead for a long time. There is a good family atmosphere. The leadership and management of the home are excellent,
and we have had a very positive experience of communication with both nursing and admin staff. On the occasions when there has been a change in Mum's condition or when she has expressed any concerns, we have been contacted very promptly, and issues have been dealt with very professionally.
Mum has been impressed by the attention to detail given to her personal care needs.
Unfortunately, Mum's stay at Ladymead has coincided with the Covid 19 epidemic as this has necessarily restricted activities and visits, but the team at Ladymead have done a great job in keeping the residents safe and happy. Visits in the garden and Skype calls have helped a lot.
Thank you, everyone.

My mum is incredibly content here despite having dementia. She loves all the staff and they make her feel safe and secure. She feels at home. The family are always kept up to date on what is happening. The staff always make time for relatives even in these difficult times. They are amazing and I cannot
thank them enough.

We consider ourselves so fortunate to have found this wonderful home for my mum. In the 12-months she has been there, she has been surrounded with such a high level of care and love from every single member of staff; our family cannot thank them enough. The manager and his team are amazing!

In May, my mum was taken ill suddenly and had to be taken to hospital. After a week, it was clear she would not be able to return home and would need specialist palliative care. We were so lucky that Ladymead Care Home accepted her, as they had not been taking in any new people during the pandemic.
I was massively reassured by both the care manager and the deputy manager who couldn’t have been more helpful, kind and understanding. Once mum was moved from hospital to Ladymead, she settled in immediately and it was clear I’d made an excellent choice – mum said she wanted for nothing, everyone was really friendly, and that even the food was good. I can honestly say that since mum has been at Ladymead, the care has been nothing short of excellent. The staff are 100% dedicated to the safety and the happiness of those in their care, and nothing is too much trouble for them. They work tirelessly and selflessly and I can’t thank them enough for everything they do.

Mum spent the last six months of her life living at Ladymead Care Home following a longer than expected spell in hospital. It was not an easy decision to make to move her there but it was the best one for all of us. Right from my initial contact with the Care Home Manager, all of the staff I met were
very friendly and nothing ever appeared to much trouble even when they were clearly busy. The kindness shown to mum was touching and we were always kept informed of any updates regarding her health and welfare. The last few weeks were difficult but Ladymead staff didn’t mind us calling every day and even facilitated video calling so we could see and speak to mum. I am so grateful for the respect, care and attention given to mum and highly recommend Ladymead.

I have always been happy for Mum to be at Ladymead, it is like having an extended family. I know Mum is in safe hands. During this horrible time of Coronavirus, it is even harder, as we cannot visit our most precious loved ones.
True to form, Ladymead came up trumps, and we can video call Mum at arranged
times.
I think this shows the true love and care that Ladymead is all about.
Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for the care you gave to my Grandad, as a family, we can’t thank you enough for all you did for him during his time with you. We found it super difficult not being able to see him during these strange times, but we hold much comfort knowing he was so well cared for.
Nurse kept us
updated on how he was doing all the time, even using video calling, and we really appreciate the communication we had at all times.
Thank you again for looking after our dear, much loved, Grandad.

Thank you to all the wonderful staff at Ladymead for taking care of my father-in-law. As a family, we cannot thank you enough for your care and consideration, especially during such unusual and difficult times. You kept us updated and in touch (using technology to video call), going above and beyond
what was expected. We were all so impressed with the homely feel at your home and the fact that the staff really do care. This is filtered down from the brilliant manager to the nurses and staff who together work as a fantastic team in what can be, at times, very challenging. It is with sadness that my father-in-law lost his fight to live but we are happy to know that he was made as comfortable as possible and the staff cared for him and were there to the very end, which we dearly thank you all for.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.776)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.776) out of 10 for Ladymead 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.776 for Ladymead Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (265 Excellents x 5) + (58 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 331 Ratings = 4.776

  • 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 Ladymead Care Home is based on 28 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 28 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.
