Whilst visiting Orchar Nursing Home, I have found the staff management and overall appearance of the care home to be of an exceptional standard. There is a happy caring atmosphere that radiates through to the residents in their care of Orchar Nursing Home. I would recommend to anyone seeking a place
of high standards and care for their relatives or friends.

My aunt has been staying at Orchar Nursing Home since May 2017 and my husband and I are very happy to find she has settled so well and is enjoying the company of others. Also all the meals, food etc prepared by the resident chef help to make her feel at home, especially the soup!
I cannot praise the
staff, on all levels, highly enough, especially escorting her out on her frequent walks etc.
The medical care is of the highest standard.
As my aunt is now 100 years old, we are very happy with all care and attention.

Mum lived independently until April 2017. She was made very very welcome to her new home.
Mum is treated with dignity and is able to make decisions about what time she gets up, what clothes she wears, what food she has from a menu.
We live in Yorkshire and are kept informed if there are any problems
regarding Mum's care.
Mum is very content and is happy with the care she receives. The residents have entertainment but don't necessarily have to participate. We as a family are so relieved that Mum is content in her new home.

My Mother has now been resident at Orchar for 17 months. The care provided is excellent and the surroundings and atmosphere are like a country hotel rather than a care home. All members of staff are very polite and caring.

Excellent care both medical and residential staff are supportive and understanding of all circumstances and my mother's condition of dementia.


My mother is always kept smart, clean and well dressed. All staff understand her individual circumstances and condition.


We are also made to feel very

welcome when we visit.


We have great confidence in her care and how she now likes.

My mother has lived at Orchar Nursing Home for 17 months. The care and attention of all management, nursing and care staff is exemplary and leaves me feeling very confident that my mother is being given the best care 24 hours a day. This gives me great peace of mind. The home is run with a friendly,
positive, family home style feeling, which extends to residents and relatives of residents. The surroundings are very pleasant and the very good food is varied and nutritious. There are many activities for the residents to join in if and when they wish. My father was also a resident at Orchar for 14 months and was able to remain at the home with end of life nursing, given with dignity, professionalism and utmost goodwill. The care and attention for him and for the family at that time was absolutely first class. I would certainly recommend Orchar Nursing Home to anyone who is looking for a caring home for their relative.

A very comfortable care home. It does not have the feeling of being institutionalised, which I personally like. Staff are very pleasant and willing to help. The general atmosphere certainly not depressing but warm and positive. Food seems to be of a very good standard and kitchen staff very helpful
and welcoming.
Overall, very satisfied with this home and the care it provides.

The transition from home environment to a nursing home was made smoothly and with support from the staff/was carried out with minimum distress.
There are no shortage of daily activities and staff and carers are very sympathetic to each resident's individual needs.

I am even invited to stay and have my lunch or tea with my husband. The nursing home is always lovely and
clean and very welcoming. I would recommend this nursing home to all my friends.

First on a personal note my wife a resident has had good attentive care and respect from, management, nurses, carers, cooks and domestic staff, this is not just to my wife but to all residents. The entertainment is very good the way they get the residents to join in. The meals are of good quality and
are served with a smile and help residents if required. I would recommend this care home to anyone.

Mum has been in Orchar House for 2 years and is happy, well looked after, treated with respect. All her medical needs and personal care are given in a professional manner. As a relative I am kept informed of my mums care and find the staff very approachable.


We have peace of mind knowing our mum

is being well looked after. The staff always have my mum looking presentable, the way she would herself if she was able. We consider ourselves to be lucky with Orchar House and the care given to our mum and that's down to the great staff. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.951)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.951) out of 10 for Orchar Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.951 for Orchar Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (277 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 288 Ratings = 4.951

  • 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 Orchar Nursing Home is based on 24 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 24 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.
