Although there are certain aspects of the home which I am slightly worried about, as a whole, my brother is well cared for and I am very grateful for that. He has been back from hospital two weeks now. Every member of staff is trying their best for him.

I am very impressed with the quality of care provided at Drayton Village Care Centre. The staff are, without exception, caring, friendly and helpful. I was worried as to how my friend would adapt to residential care but the staff have gone above and beyond to make him feel comfortable, relaxed and at
home.

My father has been a resident for 3 weeks, and to date, he is very happy there. The staff are very friendly to him and nothing is too much trouble. They clean his room daily, he loves the food and anything he needs doing is attended to by the caretaker. The office staff are very helpful and they always
have time for you. I am very happy my dad is here.

I would like to say a very big thank you to all the staff for their support and help in looking after dad over the last 11 months and especially during his last few weeks. The staff's kindness and understanding in dealing with dad's dementia and other conditions.
We have and will continue to recommend

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

We used this service as a respite so that myself and my husband could actually relax on holiday after many years of looking after my parents and always getting lots of phone calls from them wanting us to come home. I was apprehensive as I did not know what to expect but upon meeting with the staff before
and on admission, my mind was put at total rest. The way in which the clients are spoken to is excellent and the residents all appear to be really happy together. On our return the first thing we did was pick dad up and although he wanted to get back to his own home he has since requested that when he can no longer live independently he would like to return there. He even said he missed the girls! I could not have asked for anything to make him happier.

Reply from Melissa Lawerence, Marketing Coordintaor at Drayton Village Care Centre

We really appreciate the story/experience you have had at Drayton, we are really glad your father enjoyed his time there and wanted to return! Thank you very much for your review. Many thanks.

The home provides good care for residential care (being our only experience). My mother was encouraged to participate in group events and enjoys the trips out that she goes on. The home is always kept clean and tidy although the quality of food would only be my query over, the overall rating given.

Dear Reviewer,

My Nan has always praised the staff that work here and make her feel safe. From an outside point of view, I feel the there should be more various activities to keep residents occupied especially if they don't get many visitors and I feel the staff are too thin on the ground. I do feel that there should
be more staff, especially around busy eating periods and evenings/nights.

My mother moved to Drayton Village 3 weeks ago. I am very impressed by the cleanliness and light and airy feel. The staff have been very supportive to Mum, myself and my brother. They have helped her settle in and are friendly, welcoming, attentive and caring. It was a relief to find a safe, secure
and caring home for Mum.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My uncle stayed here to get some respite care after being unwell. The manager made him feel very welcome and spent a lot of time personally attending to get my uncle settled. What surprised me is I saw the manager giving this level of personal attention to all the residents. The staff were all friendly
but also very professional. They were careful with all his medicine and checked and followed his prescriptions. They were patient with him, ensured he followed their instructions. The staff notified me whenever there was a problem and gave excellent advice. My uncle's room was comfortable with all mod-cons and they were happy to change his mattress to a style he preferred and there was a range of social areas also. Overall the care he received was excellent and allowed him to return home earlier than expected in good health and spirits. We would be more than happy to have my uncle stay here again.

Our situation was temporary respite care whilst my nan's permanent accommodation was arranged. Generally we have had a good experience at Drayton Village, carers are caring and treat with dignity. On occasions nan has been washed and dressed later than expected (after 10.30) but not too often. Main
areas of improvement are for those individuals that prefer to be in rooms. Meals are served to them after the dining room so often cold. Also there is not a lot of human interaction during afternoon if not in lounge.

My husband has been in the care home since 22/4/15 he settled in straight away, he has dementia, a few months ago a new manager was bought in. Things have changed quite a lot for the best, we don't find agency staff anymore which is great. I have recommended people to the care home and am continuing
to do so. We were invited for a lunch and entertainment today 3/11/15 it was fantastic and everyone was lovely, a good day was had by all.

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.
