I am very pleased with the care provided to my mother since being placed at Somerton. Staff always make themselves available to talk to. I hear communication between staff and residents during my visits; this is always respectful, caring and appropriate. Senior staff make themselves available to discuss
care and any issues arising. My mother has settled well and enjoys the company and activities available.

My mother is very content and well cared for, always clean and tidy. The staff are fantastic, extremely helpful and caring and always accommodating. Residents are always treated with dignity and respect. The facilities are very clean, and the garden is well-tended, with beautiful flowers. My mother
gets her hair trimmed and tidied regularly and gets lovely blow-dries, also her nails are kept beautifully trimmed and polished if she wants them done. At mealtimes, the food is well present and looks and smells delicious, and my mum enjoys it. I have no concerns and am always happy with the care she receives.

The care my parents have received has been very good. The staff treat the residents with respect and kindness. I felt they supported myself and my husband when my dad was very ill. I am grateful to the staff, as their care and kindness has given me peace of mind.

I am extremely pleased with the care and attention my friend receives. Unfortunately, we lost my friend's husband in the last couple of months, but I have to say the staff went above and beyond to help myself and his family get through this difficult time. I'd highly recommend this care home.

Staff are care home received my father with very short notice. Despite that, they all treated him with kindness and professional care. They treated me exactly the same. I now walk into a beautiful, calm building knowing he is clean, safe, cared for and loved. I thank all the staff from the bottom of

My mum had special needs because of her dementia, but also additionally issues that meant Mum was confined to bed for the past four or so months. The staff at Somerton cater to her needs and have been nothing but professional in the way they have cared for mum, reacted to issues (including COVID) and
in the manner in which they engage with the family. We are hopeful that Mum will be up and about able to engage with other residents, in a matter of weeks. We know that Mum will benefit from such interactions immensely.

All staff are very professional and frienly. Nothing is too much trouble. Dad has 'flourished' since coming to live at Somerton. Have to mention also the staff managed exceedingly well during the covid pandemic, no cases at the home - all down to their professionalism, care and compassion. Much appreciated,
thanks to all.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.766)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.766) out of 10 for Somerton Private Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.766 for Somerton Private Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (153 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.766

  • 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 Somerton Private Nursing Home is based on 16 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 26 registered maximum number of service users is 5.2, which has been reached with 16 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.
