The only negative point I can make is the fact my dad does not get taken outside enough which makes him feel cooped up (his words) and I feel this is not helping his dementia.

Reply from Sharon Adjei, Ops/Clinical Director at Scorton Care Village

Thank you for this review. It has been noted that due to the very icy/cold weather, residents have been unable to access the garden/ground areas. This has been risk assessed and "outings" will be offered when the weather improves. We hope this meets with the needs and welfare of all our residents. Indoor activities are offered to avoid any issues to maintain integration/socialisation.

My uncle recently moved into Elizabeth House from another care home in the area.
The contrast between the two homes is astounding. The other home was basic in every way from cheap bedding to smells, a bit of neglect, and just no care at all. Food was left beside is bed and he was expected to feed himself.
He did not eat much and sometimes I would visit two hours after a meal and it would be untouched.
At Scorton the care given was outstanding and very genuine. Today a very patient gentle and kind person fed him.
I do not feel that I have to worry about him anymore.

Many thanks for your thoughtful review. I will pass on your thoughts to the care team at Elizabeth House.

My dad moved to Scorton Care Home 3 years ago he has now sadly passed away. The care he received while he was there was outstanding, all the staff did a wonderful job, and my dad always looked very clean and tidy. The home was always very clean bright and very welcoming. He enjoyed his food, he was
in the nursing ward. I always found the staff very pleasant and helpful.

Scorton Care Village is amzing. The staff are so friendly and helpful. My father is very well looked after. I have total faith in everyone at Scorton Care Village. We are encouraged to bring our pets to see my dad and of course, the other residents on the unit enjoy this too. Our 8-month-old granddaughter
is very popular on the unit, she's gained a whole new family from Scorton Care Village. Thank you so much everyone for all that you do for my family, especially my father, who I knew can be very difficult.

My husband is being well looked after, in a lovely room with his own mementoes around him. He is being kept clean and dressed and his health matters are attended to. Occasionally staff have problems with understanding instructions due to the language barriers, therefore, arrangments are not carried
out.

Reply from Sharon Adjei, Ops/Clinical Director at Scorton Care Village

We have a diverse staff team and welcome any issues visitors/relatives may have if they feel we have missed any instructions. Please feel free to contact us with any misunderstandings you encounter, so that we are able to address these. or offer additional support/training to our staff team.

I have been coming here to visit my friend for couple of years. My oldest friend works for CQC as does my relative so I am aware of things to be aware of. So I do have a tendency to observe my surroundings. Also having qualifications in MH. It allows me to watch interactions with staff to residents.
I have found the part of the home I visit to be very clean and tidy. Hand sanitiser where you sign in. Plenty of information on notice board. I don't have much engagement with staff. As I go straight to my friend's room... but found the one staff member who will happily chat to be very pleasant. I have seen some staff sit and chat to residents. My friend who is bedbound is always clean and has clean bedding on. I was there a day when a cleaner was mopping the floor and it smelt lovely. Well done to hard-working cleaners who work hard to provide a nice clean environment. And of course to carers it is not an easy job. That I know. So you are appreciated.

The staff were friendly, helpful and professional and took excellent care of my father. He was always well looked after, clean and dressed. He wouldn't leave his room but they chatted to him and checked if he needed anything. At the end, they were very caring and kept us informed of what was happening.

Scorton Care Village continues to provide excellent care for my husband. I know he is safe, exceptionally well looked after and happy. I am confident if a health issue arises, it will be dealt with swiftly and successfully. All staff are friendly, kind, caring and always willing to talk about my husband
and also offer me support if I am feeling low. I cannot wish for a better place for my husband to be living, nor can I find enough words to praise the wonderful staff.

I am highly satisfied with the manner in which my friend is cared for in Scorton Care Village. She always looks well and dressed, clean, tidy and her hair in order. Most of all she looks comfortable. The staff are kind, courteous and always willing to answer my queries. They respect her dignity and
also my needs. Medical care is excellent.
Scorton is always a welcoming, spotlessly clean establishment to visit and reside in.

The resident's resistance to basic hygiene has been a significant part of managing his dementia. The staff have been brilliant at looking after him, making sure he is washed and changed and his room cleaned as required. Regular shaving has recently been introduced which was unimaginable for us. It is
so good to see him looking so much better even though his dementia continues to progress. Scorton have given him back his dignity.

My husband has been in Scorton Care Village for about eight months now and in that time has been treated very well by all staff. This has made what could have been horrendous for us as a family a bearable time because his carers treat us very well too and it enables us to have precious family time together
in a pleasant atmosphere.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.675)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.675) out of 10 for Scorton Care Village 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 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.675 for Scorton Care Village is calculated as follows: ( (238 Excellents x 5) + (79 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 329 Ratings = 4.675

  • 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 Scorton Care Village is based on 29 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 114 registered maximum number of service users is 22.8, which has been reached with 29 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.

Job Title: Home manager

Joined: 2014

I moved to the UK after living in Italy which time I completed further education to a high standard working in a senior role. My first role upon arriving here in the UK was as a Care Assistant at Scorton Care Village, North Yorkshire.

My existing skills, knowledge, and experience gave me the opportunity to advance my career by seeking more challenging roles, including Unit Manager and Deputy Manager, before assuming my current position as the Registered Home Manager. During the past few years, I have actioned many changes within the service, achieving an overall “Good” from CQC and raising the profile of the home.


I consider myself to be fair, firm, honest, and committed to my role. I take pride in my work and am resolute when it comes to my responsibilities and accountabilities towards the service, residents, and staff. I am dedicated to ensuring that residents and staff receive the best support at Scorton Care Village and that I continue to make a difference.
