Review from L H (Sister of Resident) published on 28 February 2025

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My sister has been in the Nursing home since August 2023, it took her a little while to settle but with the help of the staff she settled down, the staff and management team together with the nursing staff and carers. Also with the activities girls, have been most helpful, I have even noticed that the
maintenance team at the home have been very helpful. The home has been constantly cleaned from what I have observed and the food at the home is very good. The laundry has been kept up to date and if anything is needed it gets sorted straight away. The activity girls are always entertaining residents at the home.

Reply from Mahesh Patel, General Manager at Romilly Nursing Home

Thank you very much for your review, I am pleased you are happy with the care we provide for your sister and the home in general. I will be sure to pass on your kind comments to all of the departments you have mentioned, I know they will be very happy to be recognised for the hard work they carry out each day. Regards.

Friendly, kind and caring staff. Always available to help out. They treat all people with respect and dignity. They make sure residents eat well and maintain a good diet. Always informing me of my nan's progress. The residence is always spotless with strong support with bathrooms. My nan is always dressed
well and clean. They always are trying to get her involved in activities to keep her mind and body active.

My Mother was admitted to Romilly Nursing Home in September 2024 after having a stroke and she has dementia. The welcome and care my Mother has received is more than I ever thought would happen. She is happy there and cared for and the support I've had as a daughter going through this has been amazing.
I really can't speak highly enough of the staff and home. I'm very glad my Mum is here. Where she is treated with respect and care.

Having been cared for at home and following a stay in hospital my husband was very fortunate to get a place in the Romilly.
The care he receives is without a doubt excellent. I had doubts about placing him in a care home, but my concerns soon disappeared. The care he receives is second to none, I am
always greeted with a smile from all staff.

I am a support worker who supports a person who has regular respite care at The Romily. I have noticed a vast improvement there recently since they have employed a new manager. The waiting time to be let into the premises has improved, the lounge area is set out in a much better way, and there seems
to be more continuity with staff members caring for the service user I support, which is something he needs when on respite care. The staff there are all friendly and helpful.

Although Dad has only been in Romily for around 4 weeks, he has really settled. He is cared for, fed well and all-round generally well looked after. All staff are extremely friendly and genuinely care about their residents. Very impressed so far - thank you.

When making the hard decision to put Mum into a care home, we visited many. The Romily from the first visit seemed the right place for Mum. We are so happy with every aspect of her care. The staff are so caring and patient. I would happily recommend this home to anyone. Thank you for all your care and
dedication.

My mum is very well looked after at the Romilly. She had lost weight on entering the home but has now gained a great deal thanks to the individual attention from staff.
Staff are very caring, and nothing is too much trouble for them.
Communication is excellent, especially when reporting incidents

My mother has been a resident since May 30th 2024. The care from the staff has been excellent, from the office to the nursing staff. We have been impressed with the patience and the attention to detail that have been a constant feature of the care my mother receives. We would always be happy to recommend

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.732)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.732) out of 10 for Romilly 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 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.732 for Romilly Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (289 Excellents x 5) + (80 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 380 Ratings = 4.732

  • 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 Romilly Nursing Home is based on 32 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 73 registered maximum number of service users is 14.6, which has been reached with 32 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.
