The staff at Cumnor Hill House are exemplary. I can't praise their caring, attention to detail highly enough. From the moment we visited to the time my mother spent as a respite resident to try it out, to the time she moved in permanently, they made the process stress free and seamless. Their standards
far exceed other care homes. My mother is settled and content which is a huge weight off my mind. With me living abroad, the quick response to emails and keeping me informed of events is vital. I have complete confidence they are taking care of Mum just as I would. Thank you Cumnor Hill House team.

Reply from Sherrie Hume, General Manager at Cumnor Hill House

Thank you so much for these kind words. When we admit a resident to Cumnor Hill House we "admit" the family too. It is great to hear that we have exceeded your expectations and that you can be at peace all those miles away. Mum has settled in well, I see her everyday and her smile is radiant. She is enjoying her new life.

We attended the afternoon tea organised by the staff at Cumnor Hill House for my mother's 92nd birthday. It was beautifully laid out, in the library, with a delicious selection of sandwiches, cakes, birthday cake, drinks etc. Everyone was very helpful, friendly and kind. Nothing was too much trouble.
My mother had a wonderful birthday and we all loved sharing it with her.

My mum came to Cumnor Hill via hospice, and we were aware that she was end of life. I have worked in care my self for 33 years, so I was a little anxious, but we were welcomed warmly to a home that was beautiful. She had a very nice room looking onto the garden, which was important due to her being
in bed. Every concern we had, met with a warm, friendly, and interested approach. All of the team were approachable when it came time for her end of life care. I could not have asked for better and in all the homes I have worked, this is the only one I would have felt I had any unresolved feelings.

Every resident is important to us and meeting their individual needs is our priority and I am delighted you feel we achieved that.

Mum stayed on a month respite stay.
We could not recommend how satisfied and pleased we were with the home, the care, and the staff enough.
From managers down to floor staff, they are totally professional caring attentive. Mum enjoyed her stay so very much and she has asked to express her satisfaction
to three members of staff in particular for their help and lovely conversation which helped to an enjoyable stay with a view to permanent stay.
Thanks.

I stayed at Connors Hill House Residential care home for 3 weeks while my wife had an operation and recuperated with my son and his wife. I found the whole experience an entirely happy time with great facilities, friendly attentive, and highly professional staff. If I ever need to live in a care home

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My Mother was living at home sleeping 20 hours a day and given days to weeks to live. She was taken off all meds. It was too difficult to look after her at home as she couldn't walk and it took 2 live-in carers to get her into her wheelchair or on the loo.
We moved her to Cumnor Hill. Set on beautiful
grounds. It was for end-of-life care. However, a month later my Mum is now awake most of the day, can walk, is in the physio gym cycling from a chair, has made biscuits and her BP is down. The Physio has made her much stronger. She doesn't ask to come home and has made a couple of friends. The turnaround has been miraculous. The stimuli and care have turned her life around.

Reply from Sherrie Hume, General Manager at Cumnor Hill House

We are so pleased with the change in her well-being. We always strive to ensure residents are given every opportunity to maximise their potential to live life to the full.

Yesterday was my friend's 90th birthday held in the fine dining area for 8 people. I want to say that from the first time I met the head chef l to organise the meal to the actual day I received nothing but professionalism. The serving staff were amazing and friendly to make this a special day. I travel
and eat out frequently here and abroad and I can honestly say the food and presentation were outstanding. The quality you would expect to receive in any fine-dining restaurant. Thank you so much to the head chef. Regards.

The carers have always been helpful and kind. The rooms are exceptionally clean and well-maintained. The food is excellent. I would like to see

My friend spent eight years here. At first, he used to go out daily to catch a bus; at the end, a hoist was needed to move him. However, he was always clean, comfortable and looked after in an environment that was as attractive as many hotels. The staff - despite a period, now past, of rapid turnover
- has always been willing, approachable and patient.

I have cared for my parents for many years and they lived with my family for several. This is the third care home my father has lived in. The first was not right for him, the second was a complete disgrace and provided unsafe care.
His current home is a complete contrast and looks after him to the
complete satisfaction of his daughter.

My mother has been a resident at Cumnor Hill House for six years. She has always been treated with kindness and compassion and the care she has received is exceptional. She is extremely well looked after and very happy here. The staff are truly wonderful and ensure that all her needs are met, they go
above and beyond their everyday jobs to ensure Mum has what she needs and, as a family, we are so grateful to each and every one of them. The staff member on the reception actions every request, management work very hard to ensure all residents and staff are happy and fully supported. The activities team, physios and laundry staff work so hard for the residents and ensure all their emotional and physical needs are met and the catering manager is one in a million. We are truly grateful for the care and compassion all the staff have shown Mum recently when times have been tough. We cannot rate the home highly enough and I would recommend it to anyone looking for full time care for their loved one.

Mum has been a permanent resident since September 2022. She had three periods of respite care prior to this. Mum made the choice to move from independent living to a residential home - a big change. The team supported her and me in the transition compassionately and professionally. Mum has been made
to feel part of a 'family'. The atmosphere is warm, friendly and calm. Like all homes providing care there are vacancies - in no way does this impact on the care or support Mum gets. The team have endless time for her. She is an early riser and as soon as she's awake a coffee appears, something she loves. The home operates on an all inclusive basis. This means she can use all the facilities without paying extra - I can have lunch or afternoon tea with Mum (as can a couple of her friends). This makes Mum feel like she is hosting (which she is). Her health is managed fabulously by the nursing staff who are responsible for the residential floor - a really important factor for Mum.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.909)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.909) out of 10 for Cumnor Hill House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.909 for Cumnor Hill House is calculated as follows: ( (223 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 242 Ratings = 4.909

  • 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 Cumnor Hill House is based on 21 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 75 registered maximum number of service users is 15, which has been reached with 21 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.
