Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Both my mother and father became residents of Nightingales Nursing Home in late 2023, my dad for end of life care, and my mum with dementia (dad was mum's carer). My dad was nursed there for four months and the care he received was excellent. All the staff, nurses, carers and helpers were very attentive
and caring. He enjoyed the meals and was, I believe, very happy there for his last few months. Once he passed, the nursing home carried on caring for my mum, and continue to do this until the day of writing this review. Mum is very happy there and the staff and carers are all wonderful with mum. We cannot recommend the home enough and are very grateful to them for looking after my parents so professionally, sympathetically and efficiently and for making mum smile every day.

My husband was admitted to Nightingale Nursing Home, and I immediately felt comfortable about him being cared for by Nightingale Nursing Home. It is clean, comfortable and tidy. The staff are knowledgeable, efficient, caring, sympathetic, understanding and friendly. I was telephoned by the nursing home
when my husband's life got near to the end, in the middle of the night. Together, with my daughter, and a little later also my son, we were met by a caring, understanding, friendly and efficient member of staff.
I cannot thank the staff enough for the care my husband received and the understanding we were met with. Thank you!

I was admitted to Nightingale's Nursing Home in December 2020 following lots of falls and head trauma. When admitted, I was unable to move and required complete total care to the extent that I believed I would never leave. Due to the dedication of the staff and especially the Matron, within a few of
months, I was able to feed myself and take daily walks and was able to be discharged in June 2021. I really cannot commend enough the work that Nightingale's do for their residents. They work so hard to ensure the comfort of the residents. I cannot recommend Nightingale's Nursing Home for anyone in need of good nursing care enough.

The needs of my mother were sympathetically met by very caring, attentive and friendly staff. Nightingales were most considerate and welcoming to my elderly father too, as he visited each afternoon.
Her room was comfortable, practical and set in very pleasant grounds.

My husband stayed at the Nightingale's from September until he passed away in January. The matron and staff were very caring and compassionate in all that they did.
I would not hesitate to recommend this home. Before my husband passed away, he said he couldn't be happier to be staying there. Best
Nursing home there is.

My father was admitted in July 2015 due to coming to the end of his life. The love, care and support we all had as a family was exceptional. The staff were understanding and treated my dad with the dignity and respect he deserved in his final hours. He was in a lovely room with a view over a garden
which we were able to describe to him although he wasn't conscious he would have loved it. He was only there for 30 hours but in that time the care team understood his every need. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to be cared for to a high standard. We couldn't have chosen a better place. Thank you

In short all staff did not just show how much they cared for my dad they went above and beyond helping us get him home. Our extreme gratitude to the matron for her help and not to forget all the staff involved in my dad's care, thank you all.

Current Review Score: 8.0 (7.965)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.0 (7.965) out of 10 for Nightingale's Nursing 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 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 4.833 for Nightingale's Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (10 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 4.833

  • 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 3.132 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Nightingale's Nursing Home is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 38 registered maximum number of service users is 7.6. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.6 = 0.132

  • 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.
