My father was a resident from March 22 to December 22, 2019, when he passed away in hospital. During my regular visits, I found all staff helpful, professional and friendly. The home had a good atmosphere, made visitors welcome, and appeared to work hard to make residents comfortable and content.

Wonderful care provided for my father for his end of life care. Staff so attentive to his needs and personal care. Also, so supportive to me, making sure I had everything I needed at such a traumatic time. Cannot thank them enough.

My mother was a resident at Churchill House for 4 years and throughout that time, I have always found the staff to be very caring, kind and friendly. The home is very well led and all the staff are approachable at any time.
I found the end of life care to be excellent and I would have no hesitation
in recommending the home.

All the staff at Churchill House in Ludlow provide the best care for my father after his operation. But more than that though, they are kind and compassionate and genuinely care about their residents.
We couldn't have asked for more.

My father went into Churchill House for 3 weeks for end of life care. His cancer was far advanced and very aggressive but the staff of Churchill House made all of us feel welcome at any time of day. Spent time to explain how his care would progress. All carers/nurses showed the greatest respect and
compassion to dad and us at this dreadful time.

The Churchill House team are outstanding in the loving care they give to residents. Wonderfully led from the top but friendly and efficient all the way thought they are all always prepared to fo the extra mile. Their kindness and understanding allow my husband to retain his dignity and his happy smiling
personality which was a great comfort when visiting him. Their end of life care was particularly outstanding taking care of us as well as the patient in such a lovely sympathetic way.

I initially had hoped to remain in my own flat and was quite adamant. It was shown to me by my son and daughter in no uncertain manner that I was no longer able to.
On arrival in Churchill House, I was at first difficult, I was first sorted out by my daughter and the staff dealt with me very well I
was impressed. I consider myself lucky that I was sent here. ( My attitude is covered by the options below).

The end of life care given to my mother was excellent and caring by everyone at Churchill House as it has been throughout her time there. She was made to feel special up until her final moment. I would recommend Churchill as a care home to anyone looking for a place for their loved one.

My brother was treated with kindness. They showed extreme dignity towards his death. He was happy and comfortable. The staff treated all my family with kindness and helpfulness. Churchill House is run extremely well. It was always spotlessly clean. Thank God my brother spent his last days in there.
Thank you all so much.

My father has recently been a resident at Churchill House and my mother and myself have been grateful every day and remarked how lucky we felt that we had chosen that home for him to end his life in. The care he received was always of a very high standard, the staff were professional in their approach
and yet friendly and kind as well. I feel that all levels of staff were prepared to go above and beyond their duty and nothing was too much trouble for them. Considerations were made when my father displayed anxieties around the moving and handling equipment and a plan was put in place immediately to support him with this. Sadly my father's condition deteriorated more rapidly than expected and the support we received from the staff during his end of life care was exceptional.
My father always seemed happy whilst he was a resident, to the point that he thought he was in a hotel and that brought great relief to us as a family.
I cannot thank the staff enough for all they did for us, they are exceptional.

My mother has been looked after with extreme care, consideration and most importantly, love. It is never the easiest decision to place your relative in a care home but we were fortunate to choose Churchill House, Ludlow. Our mother was treated with the utmost dignity at all times and my brother and
I are extremely thankful to the very caring staff who looked after her.

My Mother in law was expertly looked after during her stay. The end of life care was exceptional and the staff, whilst professional, were caring towards her.
Every time we visited the staff were courteous and helpful. The room was bright with a lovely view of the gardens with bird tables and garden
art.

Since mum arrived at the home, I felt she had fallen on her feet. She has always been shown kindness and I feel she is part of a bigger family. Recently, she caught a very nasty chest infection and was not expected to last the night. I was kept fully informed of her progress and allowed to remain in
her room overnight. The doctor was called and fortunately, the medicine allowed her to fight the infection to make a full recovery. Mum's nurses and carers showed tenderness, care and concern, applying themselves to her care with their usual professionalism. Although mum is bedridden and suffers from vascular dementia, this has made no difference to the care provided. I am happy to give Churchill House my fullest recommendation.

The palliative care given to my father was excellent, they treated him with compassion and consideration. The staff were very good in the end. My family were most touched with the kindness of staff. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursing home to anyone.

My step-mother received very good care at Churchill House, particularly during her final illness.
The staff were respectful, kind and considerate.
When able our step-mother joined in various activities and the visiting clergy team seemed very caring.
End of life care was excellent.
Our visits were
never restricted, visiting at different times of day, we were greeted and acknowledged by the staff which we found very reassuring.

Dad went into Churchill House for end of life care. We couldn't fault the love and care he received from all the staff. He was treated with kindness and respect. The day he passed away I was with him and was looked after as well as dad was. Everything was explained well so I knew what to expect which
helped so much. We couldn't have asked for more. They do a fantastic job.

Staff at Churchill House were wonderful to Dad. His condition meant his quality of life was limited, but at Churchill House, he was able to have the best life he could. Dad's ability to communicate was limited, but we were always heartened to see his eyes light up and his lovely smile beam across his
face for the staff that came to his room. We could see how much he liked them. In his highly dependent state, we were always confident that Dad was being well cared for, treated with kindness and his dignity respected. The piece of mind was priceless to us.
As daily visitors, we were always given a friendly welcome by staff.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.691)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.691) out of 10 for Churchill House Care 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.691 for Churchill House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (190 Excellents x 5) + (46 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 246 Ratings = 4.691

  • 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 Churchill House Care Home is based on 20 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 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4, which has been reached with 20 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.
