My mam is well looked after. If it was not for Saxondale, I think she would have passed away a long time ago. She could not look after herself, and I could not be there all the time.

Mum has extremely complex care needs and is non-communicative. All staff show her love and compassion, and I am kept up to date with any changes in her condition or medical requirements. She is in a safe environment and is always clean and well-presented when I visit her. I am extremely happy with the
level of care she receives on a day-to-day basis.

Staff are always friendly; they always get a smile from my dad. I am informed of any appointments and given the opportunity to support him to them. There was a recent incident, and this was reported to the appropriate agencies and action is taken. I am happy that my dad is supported and safe.

Sadly I could not con tube the care my husband needed, but Saxondale has more than taken over my place. Not only do the staff give him all the loving care he deserves and needs, but they are also so very kind to me too and the rest of the family.

I would like to take this opportunity to express how impressive the team are at Saxondale. They keep you clearly informed of any changes to health or matters of concern keeping everything at the correct level of detail. The members of staff I have had experience with show a great deal of compassion
and care. I have seen great improvement in my uncle since he became a resident at Saxondale which is all down to the staff managing his personal hygiene and care. They appreciate my uncles wish to limit the amount of additional medical attention. He is very happy to take guidance from Saxondale and I see a happier, relaxed more contented person.

Saxondale is an amazing place. The management and staff provide excellent, professional care to all residents. They know all the resident's individual needs and personalities and adjust their approaches accordingly. They are outstanding. Residents are treated with respect, love and most of all, dignity.
The home has been kept Covid free during this horrible pandemic, for which we will always be extremely grateful.

Currently sat opposite Mum on a face to face basis. My dad is here too. Saxondale provides us with the family to see Mum in a safe environment. They always make us welcome. Mum is in great spirits and well looked after. Saxondale is the best.

Excellent care home. They treat my mum, who has advanced Alzheimer's, as a member of their own family. We can't thank them enough for all they've done to keep my mum and all the other residents safe and well during this past horrible year. A big thank you to all the wonderful staff.

We are delighted with the care and compassion my mum has received at Saxondale. The staff are fantastic; they treat everyone with love and kindness, nothing is too much for them. They have looked after all the residents and kept the home Covid-free. The manager is a real asset to the home. The home
is under refurbishing, and it looks lovely.

My dad was very poorly when he first came to Saxondale, but through all the love and care of all the staff, my dad has had a new lease of life in a new and happier chapter. During the virus situation, I have had peace of mind knowing that my dad is loved and cared for. Even though it's been very difficult
not being able to visit Dad in the way we did in the past, I always know they treat Dad with respect and dignity. Management make sure things are kept safe and secure. I thank them all from my heart for all they do for Dad. I always felt like family and so happy I can sleep at night knowing Dad's taken care of, thank you.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.930)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.930) out of 10 for Saxondale EMI Nursing 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 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 5 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 4.695 for Saxondale EMI Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (42 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 59 Ratings = 4.695

  • 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 4.235 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Saxondale EMI Nursing Home is based on 5 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 = 3.5

    • 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 34 registered maximum number of service users is 6.8. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 6.8 = 0.735

  • 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.
