Mum-in-law moved into Paradise House in June 2024, she is suffering with the early stages of dementia and at 94 could no longer live independently. She settled into the home well and is very happy three. She feels safe and well looked after. Her wishes are respected.

I cannot speak highly enough of Paradise House. From the moment my mum moved in, the staff have been nothing short of amazing. Their dedication, professionalism, and genuine care have made a significant difference in my mum's well-being and happiness. The facilities are always clean and welcoming, and
the range of activities keeps residents engaged and entertained. Communication is excellent, keeping us well-informed about my mum's condition. Paradise House is more than just a care home; it's a place where residents are treated like family. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a supportive and nurturing environment for their loved ones.

Due to a friend's dementia, there was no option to keep him at home. Since he has been going to Paradise House he has been really cared for. The staff are wonderful and he is kept clean, well fed and happy. To every member of staff, I thank you.

From my very first visit, I was made to feel welcome. All the staff are friendly and I knew that this was the right care home for my mum. The staff are all caring and compassionate and they should feel proud that they are doing a fantastic job. I feel I have peace of mind that after I have visited
Mum, I am at ease to know she is being looked after by such a dedicated team. Mum has only been in for two weeks and I can already see such a difference in her health and wellbeing.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for showing Mum so much kindness.

Agency staff not up to standard. Too much food is wasted. Glad family members visit me every day to ensure I am looked after very well and all is okay. Too few staff on occasions.

My husband has been assessed as having mixed dementia - at the moderate stage, so I have only been associated with the care home for a few months. I am more than happy with the carer and support he has been given.

My dad was here for the last year of his life. Although he didn't sometimes appreciate the care (love) and attention they gave him - we did. The staff are attentive and caring at all times. I would highly recommend this home. Special thanks to the deputy manager and one carer in particular.

My mum came to Paradise House on 18th Dec 2023. At the time she was bedbound and not feeling herself. In the few weeks at Paradise House, she has improved immensely.
She is now socialising with the residents and staff. She is enjoying her meals and feels herself again. She is now more alert and engaged
with her surroundings. She knows she is safe and looks healthy. The staff are very attentive, caring and they treat her with respect and dignity.

We recently moved my frined to Paradise due to being very unhappy with the care home she was previously in. We noticed immediately how clean the home smelt and how friendly and nurturing the staff are. We observe every time we go and we can honestly say we cannot fault Paradise House. Staff are always
sat with the residents and never left unattended, they always have walking aids so the are free to go wherever they want. The care for my friend has been thorough. I recommend 100%.

This is an excellent care home with a wonderful manager and staff. There seem to be very few agency staff. My husband has a lovely room and thoroughly enjoys the gentle humour of the staff. The team are obviously well briefed on a day-to-day basis, and I am amazed at home much medical knowledge they
have - must be good training in the background. Nothing is too much for the staff and manager.

This home has been a lifesaver for my dad. On admission from the hospital, they immediately picked up on a life-threatening error made by the hospital doctors. They have done everything they can to rehabilitate and improve his standard of living. The home is managed fantastically and the entire team
are not only on the ball but warm and friendly. I have experience in care and this home is excellent, one of the very best!

Our mum has lived here for four years. She is happy and content and very well cared for. Her room is always clean and tidy. The care she receives is excellent. All staff are so caring and friendly, and there is always a lovely, friendly atmosphere in the home. We, as a family, really appreciate everything

Personally happy that Mother is in safe hands and is being cared for properly, as are her needs. Staff are very supportive and understanding and are patient with her demands. She appears to thrive in the environment she is placed in, as well as enjoying a good quality of life given her advanced stage.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.667)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.667) out of 10 for Paradise House 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.667 for Paradise House is calculated as follows: ( (124 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.667

  • 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 Paradise House is based on 13 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 39 registered maximum number of service users is 7.8, which has been reached with 13 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.
