I have been very pleased with my mother’s care at the Amwell. I spent 2 weeks at my mother’s side there, as she is bed-bound and is very weak since she broke her hip, and the senior and junior staff have been helpful kind and very accommodating to my mother’s needs which are plentiful at this moment.
The staff have shown concern and care for her welfare and the management are extremely prepared to help sort out any future problems arising, as I live overseas.

On arrival at Amwell to visit my friend, I am always greeted with warmth and a friendly face. I see this replicated throughout the home, and I feel reassured that my friend is in good hands. I've heard about the amazing activities and can see many happy, smiles from the other residents.

I was very impressed with The Amwell from the very beginning when I asked for more information via their website. Some care homes never got back to me but the Amwell rang me back the same day with plenty of information that I needed with a follow-up email including their brochure. It was lovely to receive
a phone call the next day to see if I had any questions no matter how big or small.
We attended a tour and soon got to realise the Amwell stood out from a few care homes I’d visited whilst looking for the best one to suit Dad's needs and personality.
Feeling nervous when we arrived we were soon made to feel so welcome the moment we headed to Reception. Was welcoming and made us feel comfortable straight away.
Amazing care home from the very beginning and chose for our father to move in where he is very happy. Our family and friends love visiting Dad and it’s wonderful to hear they are happy with his new surroundings.
Staff always helpful and a pleasure to chat with.

I am a teacher and volunteer regularly at The Amwell. Through my experience, The Amwell Care home is a welcoming and inviting care home with a great atmosphere. When I walk in it always appears fresh and clean and smells delightful. All the Amwell staff are polite and go out of their way to make you
feel welcome. The residents seem extremely happy and busy. The activities team go above and beyond to make the days enjoyable.

I would just like to express my gratitude for the care and patience shown by the staff at The Amwell. From the minute you walk through the door, it feels more like a hotel than a care home. Nan went there temporarily in 2022 and then permanently in 2023. She is very happy there and it’s lovely to visit
her. The weekly hairdresser is also lovely to keep up her old habits. There’s always an activity/outing going on so she can get involved and to keep her entertained. Thanks again all, keep up the amazing work.

Mum has been in Amwell Care Home since October of last year and I would not put her in anywhere else as the care and love she gets from the staff is brilliant and she is very settled there. Well done team Amwell. Keep up the good work.

From my initial enquiry on the telephone, I felt confident in choosing The Amwell Care Home for my loved one. The minute I walked into the building, I was welcomed by the lovely front-of-house lady. She empathised with my circumstances and the difficult choice I had to make. She had a good knowledge
of the care home when I had my tour. Now settled in the home, the care is good, needs met and staff know my loved one well. The entertainment team are outstanding.

From the first enquiry about respite care for my parents, I found Amwell staff extremely responsive and helpful. I was very impressed with the ambience of The Amwell Care Home when I visited and the staff who visited my parents at our home to assess them for the planned respite could not have been more
detailed in their enquiries informative or reassuring. When I took my parents to The Amwell I was very impressed with their preparation for my parent's visit and they could not have been more welcoming. When I left I felt very confident my parents would be well cared for. I love the relaxed and comfortable arrangement at The Amwell. My impression is that it is very well run by management and caring and attentive staff. Food was excellent and efforts to engage with service users and provide entertainment highly commended. I enjoyed my visits to see my parents and am very grateful for the rest they gave me.

My mother is a new resident at The Amwell Care Home. We looked at all care homes in the area and thought The Amwell Care Home was significantly better than all others. Our experience so far bears this out. The staff are kind, considerate, patient and thoughtful, seeking ways to make life as good as
possible for those in their care. The party to celebrate the coronation was delightful and brought great pleasure to residents and families.

Thank you so much for your kind review. I am so pleased to hear you and your loved one enjoyed the celebrations. The staff will be delighted you took the time out to review the service.

There is always a friendly and cheerful welcome from reception when visiting. Unable, physically, to do anything for himself, my husband is kept in a clean and comfortable condition. He is treated with kindness and respect. Unfortunately, his physical condition means it is not possible for him to use
the facilities and the activities on offer.

My sister-in-law has now been in The Amwell Care Home for one year. We are delighted with her care and improvement in her physical health. I am always made welcome, especially bu the lady on reception.
My sister-in-law seems happy and is enjoying the company of other residents and staff. The home is
always clean and warm and there is always a good range of food available. She enjoys the activities and having her hair done regularly.

I have found the care home very good and I know my sister enjoys being here. The staff are very helpful and polite and nothing is too much trouble. The maintenance and upkeep is excellent, not even a light bulb is out. All in all, this is an excellent care home and I would recommend it to anyone.

My mum has been in The Amwell Care Home since December 2019 and in December 2022 her savings reached the £23,250 threshold, so social services told me and my son she had to move to a no top-up home. She has a lot of dementia issues and is 93 years old. All the staff were outraged and fought to keep
her there. Phone calls/emails everything. They were brilliant in what they did and eventually social services agreed she could stay and they would carry on payments.

Our father has been a resident at The Amwell care home in Melton Mowbray for a couple of years. He has difficulty in communication due to his limited speech. The carers have developed ways of communicating with Dad which has helped hugely in making Dad feel like an individual with his own likes and
dislikes. The Amwell staff are excellent at caring for Dad and we have met many super caring staff in all roles there from when you arrive in reception to his close care on his floor. We feel that there is genuine care and respect for Dad. Thank you all.

Brilliant caring staff, well managed with our new manager. The home is always bright, cheerful, spotless and also well run, with lots to do. I always thought it was more like a five-star hotel than a home. My family and I are very pleased my wife is in such a wonderful place.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.917)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.917) out of 10 for The Amwell Care Home 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 37 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 37 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 4.917 for The Amwell Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (400 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 433 Ratings = 4.917

  • 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 The Amwell Care Home is based on 37 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 88 registered maximum number of service users is 17.6, which has been reached with 37 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.
