Before arriving at The Abbeys, Mum was subdued and unsettled. I am delighted to say that she now presents as happy, sociable and communicative - a complete transformation. From the first to the most recent contact with all of the staff at The Abbeys, I have been greeted and treated as if I belonged,
and this has been extremely reassuring. I cannot compliment the staff at The Abbeys highly enough for the wonderful job they are doing and the consequent improvement in Mum.

My mother came to The Abbeys needing respite care after a fall at home. Mum had been very poorly and after a stay in the hospital; she was very withdrawn. As soon as she arrived at The Abbeys, she was greeted by very professional, caring and friendly staff. After a few days, she was a completely different
person. She expressed how happy she was and enjoyed mixing in the communal lounge, and the change in her was amazing. I cannot thank the staff enough for their wonderful care and attention; the family are very grateful.

Every effort has been made to deal with deafness, sight and mobility problems. Care is excellent and a stroke was rapidly dealt with meaning maximum recovery possibilities. Carers and manager have been patient and understanding to overcome certain personality difficulties despite her resistance and
the unusualness of her background. I recommend anyone seeking a really caring creative team. The home has dealt with the Covid-19 crisis very well and kept residents safe despite serious problems.

My brother-in-law has been a resident at The Abbeys for over six months now, and it was the best move he could possibly have made.
He was very lonely and hardly spoke to anyone in person during the week, now it's like he has a whole new family.
When we speak to him, he talks about all his new friends
and the activities they do during the day.
He says he doesn't even miss the pub as they have a pub night and he gets to have a beer!
The staff have always been friendly and have always kept us informed. Nothing is too much for the staff and management.

Reply from The Manager, Home Manager at The Abbeys Care Home

Thank you for your wonderful review. We are really pleased your brother-in-law is enjoying his time at The Abbeys. We would love for you to come and enjoy a drink with us when we are able to accept visitors again.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

My mum was admitted to The Abbeys in October last year. The home and the staff present a warm and friendly environment.
My mum tells me that she is happy to stay which means a lot to me as it was a hard decision for me to make to place her in any home.
There is always something going off in the
home with the activity coordinators taking the lead and ensuring the events are suited for all the residents.
Staff are patient and kind and have been wonderful during lockdown, the newsletter helped to stay in touch with the home and the set up of Skype was really beneficial.
All the staff are very caring and approachable at any time of the day and always have a smile for the residents and visitors, thus creating a calm and relaxed environment. All the residents appear to be treated as individuals and staff try hard to ensure that the residents' personal and social well being is met in the best way. The home is open to suggestions from relatives and residents to improve service.

I was required by my consultant to have a period of respite care, this was to help me settle into new courses of treatment for my Parkinson's disease with tablets and injections for a period of 4 weeks. On arrival at The Abbeys, I was welcomed by the assistant manager and the senior carer who showed
us around the premises, rooms, showers, bedrooms and just about all the service areas. Whilst at respite at The Abbeys, the whole staff welcomed me in, from the jobs, activities, medical dispensing or any other service they may be providing.
While here at The Abbeys my family decided to make this my new home.

This is the second care home my mother has been in. Abbeys is a wonderful homely place with carers who adhere well to her needs. Activities and occasional entertainment are good and very welcome stimulation for my mother who is immobile and has dementia. Happy we made the move to Abbeys.

I stayed here for one week while my daughter was on holiday. I was made very welcome by staff and residents. I was very well looked after and cared for. The food was very good and above all, I was always treated with dignity. I made lots of new friends, both staff and residents and would highly recommend

I cannot praise the care staff, cleaners, reception and management enough for the excellent support and care they gave my mum and myself.
Although she was only here a short time, respect and dignity were paramount and standards were excellent.
The compassion and kindness when she died made me feel
that the short time she had been in The Abbeys was special.

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.
