The level of care is excellent at all times staff are friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Food is of a very high standard. The rooms are always clean. Entertainment is regular and usually Elvis is playing or similar music and the residents sing along. Trips out make a lovely change and the residents
love the change of scenery.

Our Mum has been here almost three years and we found the care to be excellent from all the staff. Mum was very happy here and all the staff were very friendly and always helpful. There were always activities for her to do and entertainment, which was especially good on her 100th birthday. A big thank
you to all the staff.

My aunt chose The Abbeys as her final home herself and always felt she had made the best choice - we had researched several on her behalf. She and the staff grew fond of each other, as did we, her family. We all enjoyed each other's company. Her concerns, when she had any, were respected and discussed
with her and acted upon appropriately. We kept in touch with the staff between our visits, which gave us added peace of mind. Throughout 2024 the wellness lead stimulated her to join many of the outings being offered. It was so good to see how much she was enjoying this variety in her life. During her final months, she and us took great comfort in knowing she was very well looked after. The warmth and care every member of staff has given has been truly heartwarming. The whole family say a huge thank you. She called The Abbeys her home. It is a wonderful example of what the best care home should be - what we all want for our families.

Reply from Rachel Johnson, Head of Communications at The Abbeys Care Home

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a heartfelt review. It was our pleasure to have cared for your aunt and for you to be such a special part of The Abbeys shared home community. We look forward to welcoming you back soon and are always here for you. Sending our best wishes to you all.

I would recommend The Abbeys to anyone looking for great care for their loved ones.

We moved Mum into The Abbeys for respite care when our Dad was at end-of-life care in a hospice. This was a challenging time for us as a family and knowing Mum was safe and well looked after was a huge support. Mum then took the decision to stay and has been settled and happy. The staff are what makes
this a very special place. They took the time to get to know Mum and involve her in activities and outings. We would highly recommend this care home. It is never easy making this sort of decision but we feel our mum has thrived with the high quality of care of such dedicated professionals.

Reply from Rachel Johnson, Head of Communications at The Abbeys Care Home

What a wonderful review - thank you so much for making our entire team smile. It is an absolute honour to care for your Mum and we're so happy that she's settled and enjoying our weekly adventures in our shared home community. We are delighted to see how she's thrived and we're here to continue to support her growth, aspirations and goals in this chapter of her life. Thank you for being a special part of The Abbeys.

My dad has lived at The Abbeys for almost 12 months. He has a nice room and is really looked after and safe. The nursing staff, carers, cooks and domestic staff are all very friendly and dad is really settled after living independently all his adult life. The staff really helped him through his settling-in
period. Dad now considers The Abbeys his home. There are various activities every week. The lady who organises things works really hard to stay relevant. Sometimes Dad goes on special trips and they even take him fishing from time to time. As a family, we are confident that Dad is getting the best out of life here. We certainly don't have the constant stress and worry of wondering if he's ok. Thank you to The Abbeys.

My father who has dementia moved into The Abbeys Care Home three weeks ago and he was very distressed and unhappy to have to go. My visit to him today found him to be very relaxed, looking very well, and much more settled. The staff are very helpful and are willing to answer any questions and seem to
care a lot about the residents' welfare.

My auntie was only at The Abbeys a few months before her death at 99 years old. The care given to her was respectful and loving, she was a quiet lady and they understood that. The staff also looked after the family when we visited Auntie. The day Auntie passed away the staff looked after Auntie and
the family with love and dignity. I would recommend The Abbeys if you are looking for care for a loved one.

The staff at The Abbeys are second to none, each and every one of them demonstrates such care, consideration, humility and genuine dedication to each resident.
I am very very lucky and grateful that I chose The Abbeys to take care of her. This lace deserves every accolade possible, the whole staff are absolutely first-class.

Left my mum in The Abbeys from 3.11.23 to 19.11.20 for respite care, whilst I and my husband went away.
I always feel guilty when I leave her, but the staff are amazing with her. Knowing my mum is happy and looked after whilst I'm away is a godsend for me, and I settle knowing this.
Many thanks
to all the care staff.

The care home has a welcoming and homely feel, the cleanliness is at a high standard, it always smells clean. The staff are friendly and supportive, they have recently had a few events on for the residents such as singers and coffee mornings etc... I think it’s lovely that they do these on a regular

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.882)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.882) out of 10 for The Abbeys Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.882 for The Abbeys Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (211 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 238 Ratings = 4.882

  • 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 The Abbeys Care Home is based on 20 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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16, which has been reached with 20 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.
