My husband, diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2018, has been a resident at Aden House Care Home since December 2023. Aden House has a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. All staff are friendly, caring and hardworking. A big thank you to everyone who works at the Home for making what is a difficult time in
our lives, a happy one. If you are looking at care homes, don't hesitate, take time and view Aden House.

I was shown around the home by the manager and given a choice of 3 vacant rooms for my husband who could not make the visit as he was sleeping, having advanced cancer. I was impressed by the light airiness of the home, by the staff who all greeted me and were cheerful and the cleanliness. There was
a choice of 3 lounges plus a conservatory and the residents or visitors could go out into the garden to sit on several benches/eating arrangements. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. I was able to spend more time with my husband than I had at home, as I had to do everything there. I had no support being the sole carer. My husband cooperated better with Aden House staff and I felt from the outset he was in loving hands and in a loving atmosphere. The management and the nurse had a very good grasp of his complex medication regime and this gave me confidence that he would take the medication as prescribed which was not always the case at home.

Reply from Dorota Piechowiak, Manager at Aden House Care Home

Thank you for your great review of our home, we were all deeply moved by your kind words. It is wonderful that you recognise how our staff 'go the extra mile'. We will share your kind words with the team, they will be delighted with your comments. Wishing kindest regards always.

It's comforting

The new manager of Aden House has moved mountains to improve the home. Changes to environment and cleanliness with in-house cafe and music in the foyer. Improvements to processes, documentation, like daily records are presented without question, such basics making a big difference. Care and consideration
for residents has surpassed any expectation, so far removed from the previous diabolical state, it’s not comparable. If I request anything, it feels like Mum is the only resident, nothing is ever too much, a testament to the dedication given. We feel secure not only Mum's needs are met but Dad's needs too as a daily visitor. They maintain integrity, honesty, professionalism and moreover, the human element of what makes us all.
Above all, I will say it was diabolical, Mum was neglected and I contacted CQC. But now is succeeding, progressing and regaining trust of families.
The word trust is so small but means such a great deal. Distrust is a very hard to change but they have done just that.

Reply from Annalee Pickford, Interim Manager at Aden House Care Home

Thank you so much for your kind review. We are so pleased that you feel things have changed and that you can see we are moving forwards, we are really grateful for all your support and the trust that you have in us. We are happy to hear you feel Mum is well cared for, she is a pleasure to support and it's always lovely to see your dad on his daily visits.

There was a report on Aden House in the newspaper, stating that the home is unclean and unsafe. This might have been in early 2023 or before but it is definitely not now. I cannot fault Aden House at all. My wife has Alzheimer's and I visit her every day. My carer says she is lucky to be a resident
there.

My husband has been in respite for one week to give me a break. The staff are wonderful, they have all looked after my husband very well, he had wanted to come home a few times and they have diverted him. It's the first time I have put him in a home and I can say it's really lovely in Aden House Care
Home, I will use it again. Everyone has been lovely, when I phone up they are great. I'm so grateful to have somewhere close.

All the residents on the dementia unit are dirty, miserable, and covered in cuts, bruises and bandages. Rooms are dirty, empty and cold, the floors and walls are constantly sticky and covered in food, and carers don’t bother cleaning up spills despite the slip hazards. Residents walk around half-naked
or in soiled clothing. Only one carer on the dementia unit bothers to bath/shower them so they smell and end up looking dishevelled 90% of the time. I have never seen a single carer using proper moving and handling techniques to assist the residents. The residents are treated like naughty children. The carers put in no effort to connect with and support the clients. I have a folder with 132 pictures of injuries my relative has sustained during the last 3 months at Aden House care home. This is not how a care home should be run.

My dad passed away 12 months ago which due to mum having dementia meant I had to put mum into a care home something I promised mum I would never do. But it ended up being the best place for her, never thought I would see her so happy, she loves it and this is down to the wonderful caring staff who are
doing an amazing job looking after her. Knowing she’s happy and being well looked after means everything to me and I can’t thank them enough.

My grandma was living here from the beginning of lockdown due to a decline in health and hospital admission. Since admission, my grandma declined further in health and well-being, which subsequently led to further hospital admissions which were worrying during a pandemic. My grandma went in for respite
however that was never achieved and it’s with regret she sadly passed away. Despite government guidance of compassionate visits in end of life care, I was myself denied these, on one occasion I was told that a meal takes priority over this visit. Within a few hours of this, my grandma passed away. Following a complaint, I have had no acknowledgement from the company or home manager. No condolence card or wishes. Would not suggest this home to anyone.

Reply from Lisa Boyd, regional manager at Aden House Care Home

May we firstly extend all of our condolences on the passing of your beloved grandma, I appreciate that this was not done at the time of her death but the home has expressed that she was a lovely lady and is missed by everyone at the home. Please also accept our sincere apologies that your complaint was not dealt with as speedily as it would have been under normal circumstances. Our regional manager responded to you as soon as she returned from leave and completed a thorough investigation, she then responded to you with her findings and actions she was taking. We are extremely sorry that you were not able to visit your Grandma at the end of her life, this has been addressed with the staff at the home.

I'd like to express my sincere thanks to all at Aden House for looking after both my Dad and Mum in such a caring and loving way.


You were all so nice to my Dad when he was able to visit my Mum and latterly in his final 3 weeks as a resident before he peacefully went to sleep.


I could see how

lovingly you looked after my Mum too and made her feel as much at home as possible.


You also showed great dignity and compassion when both my Dad and Mum passed away and provided me with caring support and help.


Under difficult circumstances, you have been a credit to the caring profession.


Many thanks again.

My Dad recently passed away after being in the wonderful care of Aden House for 6 months. He had multiple conditions but the staff at this care home were amazing, not just with my Dad but with the whole family as well. The manager is so lovely, pleasant and knowledgable. The nurses and carers were professional
and caring with a good sense of humour. We appreciated this very much. It is very evident that they care about their residents. We would like to thank the manager, nurses, carers, chefs, handymen, laundry employees etc for looking after my Dad so well.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.228)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.228) out of 10 for Aden House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 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 4.311 for Aden House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (83 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 135 Ratings = 4.311

  • 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 4.917 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Aden House Care Home is based on 11 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.917

  • 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.
