The staff at The Abbeys are fantastic, I've found them a great support. Not only to my father but to my family and myself. They're all happy and upbeat on every visit I have made and their interaction with the residents is brilliant. Nobody is ignored. I feel very relaxed about my father being here.
There
ladies/gents put my mind at ease.

My brother was happy and satisfied with the conditions, never complaining. However, I found the amount of storage space totally inadequate for strong a lifelong belongings. It also concerned me that there were too many incontinent pads on open display in his room.

My initial contact was with the management and admin who were efficient and capable. I was able to select a room for my wife, it was light, airy, clean, welcoming and en-suite was of a high standard. The care staff are kind, caring with unbelievable patience in somewhat challenging circumstances. My
wife is cared for in an excellent manner which retains her dignity. The Abbeys Care Centre provide an excellent service at a time when our family need understanding in dealing with these health problems.

I have no complaints whatsoever. They looked after my father-in-law brilliantly until the day he passed away. Nothing was too much trouble for them and always greeted with a smile when you arrive and when you leave.

My mum went in The Abbeys Care Centre for eight weeks respite care in that time she was well looked after and cared for. The home is clean and welcoming and the staff are very friendly and caring. I would definitely recommend it and use it for mum again.

My cousin was referred for respite here by social services and settled in immediately. The staff and management are all very friendly and supportive to her and myself. We are very much hoping her residency will become permanent. I can't express fully how much peace of mind their care is giving me or
the amazing improvement it has made to her state of physical and mental well being.

Dad is well looked after. At 94years old and having been a resident in the home for 3 years my family and I are satisfied with the care he receives. My family are from a nursing background and we visit dad 2-3 times a week and we can see the care is good.
The home itself has a lovely friendly atmosphere,
plenty of observation of the clients eg.
Dad was ill in February this year and was in hospital within 2hours and the staff/nurse in charge supported me.
The home looks a bit tired but its clean and it smells fresh and dad is happy there.
The team looking after him, in everyway, are excellent.

The staff are very good, my only complaint is there are just not enough of them. If two of them are seeing to a resident, very often there is no-one else available to see to anyone else.

At the time my mum wanted twenty-four-hour care as I knew there was nothing more I could do for her. We chose The Abbeys as soon as I went in. It felt very homely and welcoming and very clean. The staff were polite and have treated my mum with kindness, dignity and respect. It was hard leaving her,
but now I go home after visiting her and know she is in safe hands and is now settled and happy.
I am glad I chose this care home. Thank you.

My dad first came into the home on respite, the home is very welcoming and all staff made my dad and his family very welcome. We are able to visit at any time.
When he was ill, the carers were prompt in contacting the ambulance to have him admitted.
Dad is always joining in any activities that are
in the home.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5

It has only been due to peer pressure that I have remained silent until now. This care home requires a huge improvement in terms of staff continuity and personal care. Some of the staff were excellent, sadly a few were downright unhelpful and rude.


The padded sides of my fathers cot sides were cracked

and very dirty breeding infection.


The walls in his room had ripped wallpaper were disgustingly dirty.


One of the light switches had dried blood on it.


The TV would only receive one channel.


The furniture was broken and drawers wouldn't close.


I hope you get the picture without me droning on at my dissatisfaction with this care care that has been graded as 'Unsatisfactory' for as long as I can remember.


Why haven't I complained to the management of the home I hear you ask? I have but got fed up of wasting my breath.

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.
