My husband and I have been married 64 years and it was so hard to accept he needed permanent professional care. He has resided at Appleton just over 12 months and I cannot praise the management and staff enough for the loving care he has received there. I have peace of mind knowing he is safe, well
looked after and is content in what I am sure, he now realises is his home. I would not hesitate to recommend this care home to anyone.

My father arrived at the home beginning of the year 2016. The staff could not have done more to make my dad comfortable and cared for. They also show kindness, compassion and professionalism towards my mum and all our family members. It is a difficult time for all and I couldn't be more grateful to
Appleton Manor, management and staff. Nothing is too much trouble or time.

My husband has spent months in this care home. He has settled well because of the excellent care he receives from the staff. He is treated with dignity, respect and when appropriate humour. Every attempt has been made to engage my husband in meaningful but fun activities. His constant wandering day
and night is coped with using patience and kindness. This care home has been a real help to myself and our daughters. We can visit anytime, the staff are available to talk to us and very often comfort us as we found my husbands going into a home very difficult. The manager and her staff eased the process.

My mother has been a resident at Appleton Manor for 6 years as she has Alzheimer's. There have been problems for the last 4 years (first 2 fine) mainly due to not having a permanent manager for 2 years. The home has improved tremendously in all aspects i.e staff and morale, efficiency, organisation,
activities and generally. This is due to the current managers influence and strong leadership. Thank you. I feel much more confident and secure regarding my mother's care.

There are one or two minor issues at Appleton Manor regarding personal items (clothing, photos, TV remote) going missing and other residents wandering in and out of my mums room.
However, this does not distract from the wonderful care my mum received until she passed away. She and the family were
treated with the utmost care, dignity and patience during her stay and especially as her life came to an end.
I would especially like to mention the unit manager and senior carer for their wonderful assistance but also add that all of mums carers have been fantastic as has the manager at the home.

My mother was admitted in an emergency situation one evening, the manager greeted mum and myself, she was very kind and reassuring. The staff settled mum in with such kindness, as if they had known her for years, very friendly.
Mum has been here for one week, I have visited every day. All the staff
are so kind, they greet me with a smile, they can't do enough for me and mum. They treat all the residents with the utmost respect, and patience.

My husband went into Appleton Manor on the 10th Dec 2015. The staff made me feel so welcome and right away I knew he would be well looked after and he has been.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.716)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.716) out of 10 for Appleton Manor 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.716 for Appleton Manor Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (142 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 190 Ratings = 4.716

  • 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 Appleton Manor Care Home is based on 16 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 59 registered maximum number of service users is 11.8, which has been reached with 16 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.
