My mom has been living in Brooklyn House's Dementia Unit for almost a year. The staff ensure mom is kept warm, clean and well-fed and most of all, safe. It is a minefield when seeking a suitable home for a loved one but we feel that Perry Locks has been an excellent choice for us. Sometimes there
are areas that could do with attention to detail regarding cleaning up spills, etc, on chairs and floors, but overall the majority of the staff are very attentive to the needs of the residents and the nursing staff are always on hand to speak to. A big plus is how quickly the doctor is called out when necessary and any medication is prescribed.

Our Family member stayed at Perry Locks care home for three years and six months and was well cared for. The staff always had time to talk to me to explain how my aunt was doing. The bedroom was always tidy and clean and the communal areas were always welcoming and well laid out.
There was always something
going on for the residents to keep them active and involved especially around major events throughout the year.
The management team were excellent throughout the time my aunt was staying at Perry Locks. They were very informative and helpful with any concerns we had.
A great overall care home.

My father-in-law is generally satisfied with the care he receives from most staff. Whenever he has had a problem they have been sorted out quickly. Good communication with my father-in-law's relatives. Nurse in charge of Lawrence House is first class. She listens to our concerns and deals with them
promptly.
Our major concern is the state of carpet in room 35 which we have raised several times. We have been told that it is to be replaced.

Reply from Clare Sheehan, Careline Advisor at Perry Locks Care Home

Thank you for your review, we value all feedback as this helps us to make improvements where required. We are sorry to hear of the condition of your father-in-law's carpet.

Majority of staff are pleasant, polite with the exclusion of a few, e.g., snappy, impatient and ignorant. Which is no good at all for a carer. They put the rest to shame.

The service at Perry Locks is great. The staff are very attentive to patients and very knowledgeable. One criticism is the food. Dietary requirements need to be met for diabetics. Sugary foods need to be more limited for those with diabetes. The pudding offered after every meal is excessive even for
someone without any conditions. You wouldn't give an alcoholic in rehab a bottle of whiskey, why would this be any different?

Good experience now that my mom has settled in.
I wish the care staff had more available time to chat with my mom as she is bed-bound and rarely comes out of her room.
The food isn't the best, room for improvement. Although, they do make my mom a lovely omelette which she likes.

I've been visiting two friends on a weekly basis for many months, sadly we lost one of them in March of this year.
My other friend is still with us and being cared for and still has her usual spark.
We have found the staff to be very helpful and supportive in many ways and carry out their duties to
the best of their ability.

Overall my experience at the home is good. My mom seems happy, is treated with the respect and dignity I would expect. Range of food choices is good. Social events and activities are held on a regular basis which is good for residents to keep their minds active.
I feel I can speak to staff and carers
about my mom's care and voice any concerns.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.367)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.367) out of 10 for Perry Locks Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 40 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 39 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 4.367 for Perry Locks Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (236 Excellents x 5) + (172 Goods x 4) + (52 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 466 Ratings = 4.367

  • 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 Perry Locks Care Home is based on 39 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 128 registered maximum number of service users is 25.6, which has been reached with 39 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.
