Mum has been in Sutton in the Elmes Care Home now for nearly six months. She settled in extremely quickly and I must thank all the staff and management for making this possible. All the staff are so kind and make Mum feel happy and secure and to me, this is everything as I can trust Mum is in the best
hands we could wish for.
Her room is spotless and if anything is required the staff are quick to address.
Her well-being is constantly monitored and I receive regular feedback which is also so reassuring.
I am so pleased to have found Sutton Elms and would like to give a very big thank you to the staff and management for my mum's care.

Dad was very well looked after and he wasn't an easy man to please! The nurses, in particular, took time to get to know him, and the carers catered for all his needs and requests - such a constant supply of cold milk. He was treated with the utmost dignity, and they did everything to make his passing
comfortable, such compassion shown by the nurses and manager to my sister and me too - on what was a traumatic day for us - thank you.

My dad has been living at Sutton in the Elms Care Home for nearly two years. Mum and I found the family meeting organised by the home so useful - it was a great opportunity to find out more about the processes and practices at the home, and how dad is cared for. It was also a chance to meet other families
and share experiences, which helped enormously, as it can be very isolating having a loved one in care. I think these family meetings are a great initiative and will be coming to them regularly from now on.

When my mother first moved into Sutton In The Elms she was in a pretty bad way. She settled in and due to the care of the manager and the team, is thriving. Always smiling, happy and content. She gets her hair and nails done, is always clean and her spark and character are back. I regularly join her
and her fellow residents for lunch and am always made to feel welcome. Knowing Mum is safe and looked after is great for her but also for us, her family and friends. The peace of mind is fantastic. Thank you!

My father has been a resident now for 3 years and is very happy here. He has dementia and when he came to the home was very unsettled and unhappy, the care and support the care staff have given him have resulted in him now being very happy and content. His personal care is excellent and his room is
always lovely and clean. The staff are always lovely and friendly and love telling me the stories he has told them when they sit with him.
He also loves the food there and they always offer him extra pudding which he loves. All round a lovely place and my father is very happy there which is a relief for our family.

When wishing to leave, I was trapped behind a fire door and lift, I did not have the codes for either. Sometimes the wait to be let out was 10 minutes plus.
When visiting my parishioner, staff sometimes entered the room without even knocking, somewhat undignified.
However, the general experience was
positive.

My husband came to this home from the hospital to be assessed. This has now been completed. I have found the staff to be very welcoming and friendly, but not very engaging with residents (apart from the activities organiser). Also, very little information from management (unless we have to enquire ourselves).
Otherwise, a pleasant, if expensive home.

My father has been a resident at Sutton in the Elms since April 2023 after a second stay in the hospital.
All of the staff are friendly and show compassion; we are always updated if there are any changes.
The home is very comfortable, clean and homely.
There are activities daily and celebrations
for Christmas, Easter and Birthdays.
We have been able to personalise his bedroom with his own possessions
The managers, nurses and staff are always accessible and helpful.
Most importantly, the home is a safe environment for my father.

For the six days of my husband arriving at your care home for his end-of-life care! Your management, nursing and caring support for him was above and beyond my expectations.

My husband was a resident at the care home for three weeks. The manager went out of her way to accommodate him and his needs. She made sure that he had a ground-floor room because he was in a wheelchair. Once settled I was very impressed with the care, support and response to his needs. The specialists
were called in to assess his needs and the doctors provided all his medical needs. The manager constantly updated me on his progress, on what was being done and on every fall or mishap he had. She also told me the truth about everything. When he was put on palliative care, everything was fully explained to me. All the carers were great. They spoke to him all the time and as they worked, they explained everything to him. He needed a lot of care and every time I visited he was washed, dressed and ready to chat with me. They got him a special chair so that his head would not be in his lap. I struggled to look after him at home and was truly amazed at how well he was looked after.

I have never known a more compassionate and caring group of people. From the moment we arrived until the very end, without exception, everyone was so kind. I could not have coped without their support. This was probably the hardest point in my life, and they made it bearable. On behalf of my mum and

My mother needed urgent care following discharge from hospital and Sutton in the Elms were extremely understanding and helpful in what was a very difficult and stressful time. I cannot praise the manager of the home enough in going out of her way to assist me, particularly given the immediacy of needing
to find a home for my mother. This level of care and commitment was also demonstrated by all of the staff at Sutton in the Elms who were always on hand to help and support Mum, who was having to adjust to being in a Care Home having previously been living independently in her own home. It is often said about any business that it is only as good as its employees and that is certainly the case with Sutton in the Elms where the staff really do excel in the level of care they give to their residents.

My uncle has been a resident of Sutton in the Elms for over a year now, and I continue to be amazed by the quality of care provided by them over this period of time.
The very first time I visited the home, I was super impressed with how clean and fresh the place was and also the procedure of trying
to combat Covid, which again I felt was maintained and managed superbly.
I can honestly say that every member of staff goes above and beyond the call of duty of the level of care they provide, and they are always ready to assist with any questions/queries you may have.
From a personal point of view, I now have peace of mind that my uncle is being cared for in the best possible way.

Since my husband became a resident at Sutton in the Elms Care Home, we, as a family, have been extremely impressed with the home. From my initial visit, we have always been made to feel welcome. My first impressions of the home were how clean, light and airy it was. The staff were all friendly, and
nothing was, or still is, too much trouble for them. Any questions I had at the initial meeting were answered honestly - I knew this is where I wanted my husband to be. So in February 2022, he became a resident. His room is large and nicely decorated. All of the residents are actively encouraged to engage with each other, with a wide range of activities that are planned, which are brilliant. The food served always looks and smells amazing. The staff always keep me informed of any problems or issues with my husband. Personally, I cannot thank every member of staff enough for the care, love and support shown to us. Thank you, Sutton in the Elms, for welcoming us into your lovely family.

My dad was in Sutton in the Elms for around six weeks on palliative care before he passed away. We couldn't have asked for a better place for him. The staff were so kind and caring and often went above and beyond to make him feel better in the last chapter of his life. They would take the time to listen
to him and understand him as a person. His dignity was respected. We were constantly updated by the team as to how he was doing and also felt involved and cared for. I would certainly recommend the home to anyone as the staff are brilliant and feel like family. I can't give anything else other than five stars. Thank you so much to everyone there.

We have found the staff at this care home very professional, very caring and give that extra we all want for our friends and family.
The home's management and staff don’t see the residents as customers, they are treated like family, and that goes for all the staff; they are excellent.
I would recommend
this care home because that’s what it is their home.

Very happy with the care my mother receives in this home.
The staff are always willing to converse with Mum and attend to her requirements.
It is a clean and bright environment, and the staff will always answer any questions or concerns that we may have.
Mum has a choice of menu each day, and apart
from the odd grumble, always states that she is very happy to reside at Sutton in the Elms care home.
She especially enjoys the activities that are arranged.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.714)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.714) out of 10 for Sutton in the Elms Private 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 20 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 4.714 for Sutton in the Elms Private Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (175 Excellents x 5) + (47 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 231 Ratings = 4.714

  • 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 Sutton in the Elms Private 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 43 registered maximum number of service users is 8.6, 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.
