After a poor experience of care, my mother moved to Tennyson Wharf Care Home.
The difference in care and support has been truly amazing.
The staff are caring, compassionate and professional.
Nothing is too much trouble.
As a relative, I have been involved in all decisions relating to Mum's care.
My
mother and the rest of the family have always been treated with respect.
Facilities are excellent.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Tennyson Wharf to anyone with a relative with dementia.

My partner has been in Tennyson Wharf with dementia since November 2015 and prior to permanence, several times for respite. I can only say that I have been very fortunate to find such a lovely home for him. Everyone there is wonderful - administrative staff and carers alike.
The care is fantastic,
the food is fantastic, the home is fantastic and my partner is superbly cared for and very happy in his own little world. Can I say anymore! Yes I would recommend - I've told my children that should I need care in the future there is only one place I wish to go!!

Absoloutely home from home. I came to stay for a holiday and I've stayed here. I don't want to go home. My friend is also booked to come next week and I doubt she will go home too. Fabulous care, fabulous food and outstanding staff.

One should expect the daily contact with the working world to slide, and Tennyson which is a no 1 care home, with superb staff and facilities.
I would prefer it being closer to the local services to be reached on foot. I also appreciate why it is not. I would recommend it to anybody.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.825)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.825) out of 10 for Barchester Tennyson Wharf Care 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 4.825 for Barchester Tennyson Wharf Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (157 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 189 Ratings = 4.825

  • 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 Barchester Tennyson Wharf Care 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, 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.
