Always a warm welcome from all staff at The Abbeys Care Home. Mum has been a resident here for many years and has always been very well looked after. Staff go above and beyond in their duty of care to Mum. We are kept well informed about mum's care and staff are always more than happy to answer any
questions we may have. The Abbeys has a friendly and warm atmosphere and the staff are a credit to the company.

I must say that when my mother was diagnosed with onset dementia and that she would no longer be able to remain at home, this was the hardest time for us, having to place Mam in to a residential home, but thanks to the home and the care from the brilliant staff, they have made Mam so welcome and she
is so settled and well cared for. They don't only think about the resident, they also include family and are always there. Staff are very pleasant, polite and welcoming when we visit. Once again, staff at The Abbeys, well done gang, keep up the great work. Many, many thanks for the care that you give my mam and other residents.

What an amazing care home. The new manager of the home and the staff go above and beyond to help the residents. The home feels warm and welcoming with the new decor she has introduced to the home. It feels comforting knowing my relative is in a loving environment, which they now call their home. Thank
you, to everyone at The Abbeys - you all should feel really proud.

My brother looked for a place for his sister in May this year. My sister-in-law could no longer be cared for in her own home. It was a difficult choice for my husband but the staff made the move day smooth and gave us all the reassurance we needed. The seniors on duty were extremely helpful and gave
us all the information we needed. We've visited twice and always feel welcome by all.

My aunt has settled so well in the EMI unit. The last few weeks at her home were very stressful but she has fitted into life here so well. The family are so happy she is enjoying her new home and her appetite is back - she is eating everything they give her. The staff have been amazing throughout the
whole transition period. They are a credit to the Abbeys.

My mum has been in care at The Abbeys for three years. She has not been in good health. The love and care she has received have been exceptional from the staff. Although she at times, has been frustrated with her health, she has felt safe and in the knowledge that she was not alone. She loves her carers,
and this made me feel peaceful, as her loved one.

My mother-in-law had to go into emergency respite in January 2021, then 3 weeks later, we had to make the decision to make her a full-time resident.
After caring for my mother-in-law for a number of years, it was a very hard decision to make, especially with not being able to go in and view any care
homes. The manager was fantastic, she went out of her way to make the transition run calmly. She even rang over the weekend in her own time to check-in and reassure us that all was well.
We are now coming into our 3rd month of her being a resident of The Abbeys, and we can not thank the staff enough. They go out of their way to run events she will enjoy.
Every window visit (due to restrictions), we have smiles and lots of stories from the staff.
Thank you to all staff at The Abbeys.

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.
