My mother was a resident at Summerdyne Nursing Home for 18 months. She had Alzheimer's and following a fall at home which cause a fracture she became unable to walk we could no longer care for her at home. Summerdyne was amazing from day one. The staff are great and really care. The activities are amazing
my mum was really happy. She passed away in her home with the amazing care till the end.

The nursing home has a lovely peaceful atmosphere which is created by the management and filters down to all members of the staff. Every attempt is made to make sure the residents are in a stress free environment, that they are relaxed, and that all their needs are being met.
All dignity is preserved
when receiving personal care or dealing with sensitive issues. The staff remain professional and respectful and will either give advice or find someone who can.

Mum was a resident at Summerdyne Nursing Home, for four years from 2021 until she passed away in March. Throughout that time the care that Mum received was exemplary in all aspects, personal care, activities, food and drink. Her room and clothing were always kept beautifully. End-of-life care was sensitive
and respectful. Most highly recommended.

Mum passed away at Summerdyne earlier this month. The care and attention prior to her passing was nothing short of exemplary. During her stay at Summerdyne, she was always treated with compassion and humour by the care home staff, who showed the same warmth and humour to visiting family and friends.
Spontaneous visits to Mum were always fully encouraged, day or night. I would highly recommend Summerdyne if you are looking for a home where you want peace of mind knowing that your loved one is in safe and caring hands.

Thank you for your very kind words, looking after your mum was a pleasure and we all miss her beautiful smile and also the family visits, especially with her little grandson.

My mother has resided in Summerdyne since June 2023. The family were unsure if she would settle, but she is very happy. Mum is well cared for and enjoys the company of all the staff. Family and friends visit frequently and all are made welcome. There is never an inconvenient time to call and I can go
at any time to see Mum. All rooms are clean, tidy and you are made to feel at home.

The lifestyle and wellbeing lead and her assistant took over in May 2023. I feel that the girls have gone above and beyond with their kindness towards my husband. I have very often arrived to see the lifestyle and wellbeing assistant sat in his room, trying to persuade him to take part in various activities.
My husband's life always revolved around cricket, football, rugby union and garden birds. He is a lifelong Wolves supporter, also Shrewsbury Town. The girls have tried to organise sporting events for him. Personally, I think these two girls truly care about the lifestyle and wellbeing of the residents at Summerdyne. Thank you for all your input with my husband.

I am very impressed with Summerdyne. My mum had been in a couple of others prior to getting a place there, and this far outstrips the other two. Mum has been there for coming up to two years, and the improvement in her is amazing. The staff are lovely, kind and very approachable. Summerdyne was recommended
to me by another resident's son, who said it was like being part of a big family, and I have to agree that that is my experience too.

The staff were kind and caring and made me feel at home immediately. From the home visits by the manager, I felt I would be looked after well during my respite stay. All staff could not do enough for me. The food was very good. I enjoyed the activities, such as the visiting birds of prey. The handyman
was extremely kind and helpful, just like all the staff. It was good to see the manager mixing with the residents on a daily basis.

My experience at Summerdyne Nursing Home has been fantastic. The staff are really friendly there and are passionate about their job. They get the residents engaged with lots of different activities, so everyone can participate and socialise. They have a wide range of facilities at the home which everyone
can access and which are well maintained. The food and drink that are served there are good quality meals that are nutritious and healthy. The rooms are clean and spacious for the residents. I think Summerdyne is a lovely nursing home who have your best interest at heart.

My mother-in-law has been at Summerdyne for some time now, and she loves it. The staff are great and so accommodating. I recently got married (to her son!), and the staff made sure that she got to the wedding in all her finery, and she looked fantastic. There was also someone with her all the time,
so we didn't have to worry.
They do loads of other activities too, and we have often joined them in the garden for a sing-a-long with local musicians. Watching the staff with all the residents is humbling and heart-warming. I really hope there is somewhere like this if I ever need it!

My mum has been at Summerdyne for over a year now, and I have not known her to be as happy as she is now. All of the staff are so friendly, and I don't know how they pack so many activities in; they are always doing something or visiting somewhere, whether this is the safari park or various singers
coming in or just celebrating someone's birthday. Mum appears on Facebook more often than the rest of the family put together!
I feel, in some ways, that they have given me my mum back, and although she cannot speak very well, we can have a giggle like we used to when I was young.
It's a real pleasure to go and visit and see the relationship she has with staff members. I really cannot thank you enough

My father was cared for with the utmost respect and dignity whilst at Summerdyne. All of the staff we encountered were truly wonderful, caring, very deeply, and going above and beyond what would be expected. All of our requests and wishes were acted upon swiftly, and nothing seemed too much trouble.
I have enormous respect for all of the staff who work at Summerdyne, and I am deeply grateful for everything they did.

My mother spent 7-months at Summerdyne. She was immediately welcomed into Summerdyne and treated with kindness. Covid restrictions impacted approximately two months of her time there, but gradually activities developed once again allowing the residents to enjoy interests in the garden, arts and creativity,
dance etc. This brought pleasure to the Summerdyne community. Even when mum was unable to join in an activity a treat was shared with her in her room. The staff worked hard to find out what she liked. Mum was kept very clean, encouraged to eat as her appetite waned and treated with dignity and respect, particularly in her final weeks.
As a family, we are so pleased we found Summerdyne their care, kindness and teamwork are a credit to them all. I loved hearing staff laugh with residents.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.872)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.872) out of 10 for Summerdyne Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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 4.972 for Summerdyne Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (104 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.972

  • 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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Summerdyne Nursing Home is based on 9 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 = 3.9

    • 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 29 registered maximum number of service users is 5.8, which has been reached with 9 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.
