My experience of this care home was not to be faulted. Our father was treated with the ultimate respect. He was cared for and treated throughout his time at Acorn Nursing Home with dignity. The staff were excellent, very caring, hospitable and welcoming creating a warming atmosphere and lovely cup of
tea.

My father had resided at the home for a year or so. Throughout that time, whenever I visited, I found staff to be hospitable and friendly. The environment clean and sanitary. The residents all presented as being content and happy. In September 2023 my father celebrated his 90th birthday and the service
facilitated birthday celebrations. Many family and friends attended and Acorn’s hosting was exemplary. My father’s own bedroom was always clean and my father was always supported well with his personal care and health needs. Visiting was never restricted and we were always made to feel welcome. Sadly my father passed away today and again the staff and management at Acorn supported the family sensitively and with great compassion. The dignity and respect shown to my father in his last hours and indeed throughout his time at Acorns was unwavering and we will forever be in their debt. Well done to all staff and management at Acorn and long may the outstanding work continue.

My mother was in Acorn Nursing Home for over twelve months. Although the staff at Acorn were very friendly and kind to my mother, the let down to Acorn is the manager. I think if they change the manager then Acorn would be a great home.

During his extended stay at Acorn Nursing Home he was looked after with the utmost respect and dignity. His room was always clean and I think he himself was cleaner than he ever had been. His hands had never been so soft and his nails were clean. The staff are patient, kind and caring.

I trust all staff and management in Acorn - all are so helpful, kind and considerate.
Since the coronavirus, they all have helped me talk to my mum anytime
day or night, and kept me informed about mums welfare and progress.
I can contact the home anytime if I’m anxious about Mum, nothing is to
much trouble. Acorn is an excellent home with top carers kitchen staff and management, who really care. I thank you all for the care you give everyone, thank you so very much. My mother has stayed at a number of care homes and Acorn is by far the very best in my opinion.

Mum was well treated with kindness, patience and compassion. We felt confident leaving mum in the care of the staff at Acorn. She was treated with dignity and respect and the team helped to make her life as comfortable as it could be. The staff at Acorn are always happy and cheerful. They look after
visitors with drinks and snacks and have genuine empathy with residents and families.

On every visit, the staff have been very warm and welcoming. They are caring towards all residents and show real regard to each resident as an individual. They each have shown an understanding of my step-mother's needs and difficulties and have gone out of their way to support and assist her. I am very
happy that she is here.

After caring for my partner at her own home for 6 years (she has dementia-picks disease), I was very emotional about letting her go into a nursing care home as I thought no one could care for her like I did. But I was finding caring for her more and more difficult. I need not have worried, as she has
been at Acorn House for 18 months now and the care for her there is second to none. There is a real family atmosphere between the residents and staff. I visit every day. I would recommend this care home to anyone.

My mother-in-law has been a resident for three years and settled very well into the environment. The staff are always friendly and visits can be at any time. Evidence shows that the personal care well being and health of the residents are well taken care of.
Meals provided are excellent and residents
can do things at their own pace.

My brother received end of life care in Acorn for approximately 10months during which time he was treated with excellent care and respect by all staff. My impression of Acorn is it is friendly, caring and like home from home for the residents. My brother passed away two weeks ago and until the end,
I could not fault Acorn and would like to thank them from the bottom of my heart.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.363)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.363) out of 10 for Acorn 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 7 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 4.663 for Acorn Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (67 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 83 Ratings = 4.663

  • 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 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Acorn Nursing Home is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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, which has been reached with 7 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.
