Rooted in the Christian faith, life at Evington Home supports its residents to live fulfilled lives in their later years. They provide excellent, personalised care that supports residents to flourish in older age.

They appreciate that each resident has their own individual interests, hobbies and pastimes, and endeavour to support their residents to maintain this important part of their lives. The residents are encouraged to lead the lifestyle that they choose, doing as much or as little as they want.

People can choose to take part in activities such as the regular armchair salsa or can simply choose to put their feet up with a daily paper (by arrangement) or a good book from the home’s own collection.

Evington Home's Christian background is at the heart of both their values and actions. At Evington Home, they try to create a community where Christian worship, prayer and support are a core part of daily life.

They have morning devotions Monday - Friday, a Sunday afternoon service and a monthly communion service, all taken by a variety of local speakers and clergy. There are a number of churches of various denominations within easy reach of the home.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

The family chose the Evington Home for our mother for its Christian ethos and other prior connections. The Home is light and airy, with a lovely big lounge opening out onto the level access garden to walk or sit in. The bedrooms have beautiful views to the garden/park. The Homes uses a whole person
approach called "The Way We Care" (on their website), and everyone is called a "family member". The Home offers a stimulating daily routine which mum attends, including morning service and afternoon activities including exercise, crafts, music, baking, quizzes, music, and celebrating birthdays with cake! I have seen firsthand the care, kindness, and patience of the staff. Everyone is friendly and respectful towards mum. Staff are always helpful on my essential carer visits and chat through concerns in person or phone calls. All the family live away but we have peace that mum is well looked after. Mum has a multi-faceted Care Plan which is documented and reviewed regularly.

Lovely friendly staff who care for my parents very well. Always helpful and courteous when we visit. My mother and father seem very happy with the care they receive. The choice of food could be increased to consider a wider range of tastes but this is a minor criticism. Very clear and helpful email
communication around Covid guidelines from the managers.

I have found the staff friendly and the whole experience of visiting a welcome one. The resident I see has settled in very well and that is testament to the quality of care. It is so good to know that spiritual needs are addressed along with the more functional ones.

Thanks for this lovely review, we are very happy that she has settled in so quickly!

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My husband was made to feel very welcome, several members of staff popped in to say hello as we were unpacking. Our first impression of the home had been very positive when we had arrived unannounced for a look round and had been struck by the peace and calm, the fresh environment compared to other
places we had visited, and specifically the Christian ethos which had attracted us despite the distance from home. The activities they provide are more suitable for and of interest to my husband. During every visit, the staff are friendly, kind and very gentle and supportive. Even during the current Covid restrictions, they have endeavored to continue with the daily worship and have enabled us to visit, and we can see that my husband is very peaceful and content, although we realise he would benefit from more visits when they are allowed.

I have found this Care Home management and staff to be very personable, friendly and caring towards my cousin and myself.
The management team have been helpful in instances where correspondence has been sent on behalf of my cousin to overcome some legal problems, not connected with the Home.
My cousin
and I have have been encouraged by the committed Christian activities of the Home.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.776)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.776) out of 10 for Evington 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.776 for Evington Home is calculated as follows: ( (150 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.776

  • 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 Evington Home is based on 17 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 17 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.
