Both my parents are/were in the care home and are being very well looked after. My dad was in a bad way and I am very grateful for how he was looked after and the people who took care of mum. Mum is being well looked after as well.

Drayton Care home is a wonderful place bright, clean and fresh. I would recommend it to any and everyone. I find the staff bending backwards to help in any way and do have an excellent listening ear to help, if and when needed. The Nurses, Carers, and Cleaners are always working hard and tending to
the residents. The flats are spacious, bright and clean. I find them coming in when they pass by just to enquire about the resident's good health. The food is excellent, fresh, warm and nutritious and served freshly from a food trolley. The residents are looked after very well as the staff do their level best at all times.

I feel confident my dear 94-year-old mum is well looked after and cared for. She has dementia and the wonderful staff at Drayton Village Care Home try to involve her in the many activities and themed days. I can visit mum and when I leave I feel confident she is in a safe place.

I am very happy with the care my mum is receiving. She seems to be eating more regularly and is kept clean and tidy. She has her hair and nails done too, which she didn't when she was living at home. I'm very happy with all the staff, they are kind, supportive and keep us informed of our mum's health
and happiness.

I live in France and visited Drayton Village Care Centre for the first time in October where my aunty has been admitted.
I was immediately struck by the warmth and friendliness of all the staff who greeted me with a smile. Nothing was too much trouble for them and I immediately felt very welcome and
reassured for the placement of my aunt.
The Care Home is very clean and has a cosy feel about it. My aunty seemed so happy to be there and told me it was 100% and how kind the staff are; she couldn’t wish for better care. She said the food was excellent.
So thank you Drayton Village for making my aunty and myself so happy and reassured.

Reply from Chante Woodley, Marketing Coordinator at Drayton Village Care Centre

We're grateful for your kind words and thrilled to hear about your positive experience at Drayton Village Care Centre. Your feedback is important to us, and it's wonderful to know that your aunty is happy and well cared for. At Gold Care Homes, we strive to provide exceptional service to all our residents.

There are many new carers who don't speak English very clearly and my mother has trouble understanding them because she's partially deaf, combined with their accent... However, they are very caring.
Also, staff are aware of Mum's issues.

Reply from Chante Woodley, Marketing Coordinator at Drayton Village Care Centre

Thank you for taking time to leave a review, your feedback is important to us. It's reassuring to hear that the new carers at Drayton Village Care Centre are caring and attentive to your mother's needs, even if they may face challenges with clear communication due to language differences or accents. Kind regards.

My mum has been in this home for 18 months now and is treated with respect and cared for extremely well. When she first came here she was mobile and loved to walk about and say hello to everyone. Now that she is bed-bound the carers, nurses and all who work here will still pop into her room to say hello
and have a chat. She is involved in the activities that are arranged and enjoys them very much.

Thank you for your review! Your feedback is important to us. It's great to have you and your mother as part of our Drayton Village Care Centre family. We will pass on your kind message to the team.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.347)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.347) out of 10 for Drayton Village Care Centre 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 13 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 4.633 for Drayton Village Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (113 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 166 Ratings = 4.633

  • 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 4.714 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Drayton Village Care Centre is based on 13 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 91 registered maximum number of service users is 18.2. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.2 = 0.714

  • 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.
