Review from D G (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 September 2023
Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

From the very start the staff were amazing and could not have been more helpful and welcoming. Mum has settled in well because of the caring attitude and friendly chit-chat of the staff. Initially because of a change in management and staffing issues the room cleaning, bin emptying and lack of entertainment/activities
left a lot to be desired but this has all improved and the new manager is keen to keep working on improvements.

Reply from Paula Wright, Finance at Nether Place Nursing Home

Thank you for this review, we are constantly striving to do better and we will be introducing a new activities programme in the next month which should be great and I hope that you will see a difference when it is introduced.

Mam and dad have been at Nether Place Nursing Home for 2 months now. Following our first enquiry the assessments took place very quickly and were carried out in person. We weren't familiar with the care system but the guidance and support we were given by the Finance Director was exceptional.
The
care provided is excellent, it focuses on individual needs and mam and dad have both benefited greatly from this. Mam has dementia and the care and support they have given her has been fantastic. The staff are very kind and always welcoming and approachable when we visit.
Nether Place is very homely, the food is excellent and it is in a lovely location with fantastic views.

We are very happy to have our parents in Nether Place. The staff are kind and provide excellent care, they are easy to talk to and really do provide person centred care.
Putting our parents into a home was extremely difficult but the staff here made it feel easier than expected.
The food is excellent.
The home is clean, comfortable, and warm. The rooms are great with some beautiful views over Keswick.

Reply from Paula Wright, Finance at Nether Place Nursing Home

We were so happy to be able to provide places for both your mum and dad at Nether Place and I am sure that this made the transition into the care home a much easier experience. They are both lovely people who have settled in well and I am sure will enjoy their time with us.

The first assessment was quickly organised and carried out at Mother's house for our convenience. Admission was straightforward and Mother settled in straight away. The location of the home is good, with excellent views. The staff are caring and considerate. Facilities are excellent. Food is very good
and supplied at all times of the day. Visitors are always made extremely welcome.

My experience has been very good overall. Mum was placed at Nether Place under the Mental Health Act. This centre was chosen because of its excellent care ethics. I am above all impressed with the staff. They are indeed very caring and full of empathy for the residents and their families.

I have visited my brother on a regular basis for over 4 years at Nether Place.
I cannot speak too highly regarding the care and love he receives from all who are responsible for his care, which is of the highest possible standard. Nobody 'goes through the motions'. He is a member of the family!
My
brother has had to be looked after in one form or another for over 60 years. The standards here far exceed what has gone before. Nether Place should read 'Amazing Place'.

I have been very impressed by the care my mother has received the last 2 years. She has a very complex illness and it has been managed by the home extremely well.
The home is always welcoming and the staff are patient, listen and kind.
Management are always ready to listen and act in a timely manner
should the need arise.

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.302)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.302) out of 10 for Nether Place Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 3 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 4.583 for Nether Place Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (25 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.583

  • 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 3.719 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Nether Place Nursing Home is based on 3 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 = 3.25

    • 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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 6.4 = 0.469

  • 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: Manager

I’m very passionate about the job that I do and the quality of individual care that we give to our residents. It’s about making sure that people have what they need. I know how important it is to make sure that people’s care needs are met, socially, physically and psychologically, so that every box is ticked, and it’s done in a lovely way. This means knowing people’s names, asking how they are, talking about what they’ve done in their lives, tapping into their past.
