My mother has been a resident since 2009. At first, it was a bit difficult but the staff have been extremely helpful and friendly. Very easy to talk to and answer questions. My mother seems to be very happy and that's the main thing.

We viewed 5 care homes before choosing Guide Lane Care Home and our decision was made by the warm welcome of all staff as we viewed the home. Our friend feels very contented and safe whilst she for the first time in several years has bee taken to the local aquarium, the pub for lunch with more trips
planned. Also, we have all been entertained by artists/singers at the home. Great job.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

Staff were very good with my wife and treated her with dignity and respect. The staff supported me and made me smile even though we all knew my beloved wife would not be there for long.


The food was excellent and time was taken to ensure my wife's custard consistency food was correct.


The management

were fantastic. They always had time for me if I needed a quick word or was unsure about anything.


There were a couple of blips at first but these were soon rectified.
My wife's room was only small but as she was bed bound toileting was not an issue.


There were trips out and activities but my wife could not take advantage of these due to her condition.

I am so pleased that my mother has come into this nursing home as she has come on and looks so much better and that she has put weight back on. The staff are really helpful and nothing is too much trouble.

My grandmother was assessed for nursing care in February 2017. I looked at numerous homes and felt that Guide Lane would be the best to meet her needs. It also came with a recommendation from the residential home she was in. Nana came to Guide Lane in June, and within the short time she has been
here, the difference in her is quite remarkable. She is far more alert, tries to communicate more effectively, and has gained weight. The staff have been lovely and the transition seamless. I didn't think we would find a better care home than the one she was in but Guide Lane is an exceptional place.

My husband was resident in Guide Lane Care Home for seven months until he died 4th January 2017. He was very ill and most of the time unable to leave his bed. Our family were devastated and we had no option but to agree to his admission. However, it was our best decision as he was treated with dignity
and kindness and the best care possible, the nurses and carers could not have done a better job and have our utmost admiration and thanks.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.975)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.975) out of 10 for Guide Lane Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.975 for Guide Lane Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (117 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.975

  • 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 Guide Lane Care Home is based on 10 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 41 registered maximum number of service users is 8.2, which has been reached with 10 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.
