My mother was transferred to the care of Walberton Place Care Home by the NHS discharge team at her local hospital. We as a family have been overwhelmed by the care, attention and service that she, and we, have received since she arrived. The care home is first class with every attention to detail
covered. My mother is still resident at the home and we are hoping that she can continue to live at the care home - we recently had the joy of experiencing and joining in with the Jubilee celebrations at the home - again the attention to detail was wonderful and all the residents enjoyed not only live musical entertainment, activities and quizzes during the afternoon but the afternoon celebration tea was superb. The care mum has received since arriving has made the whole experience of mum's sudden decline more bearable and we cannot thank all the staff enough - words do not cover our appreciation.

Reply from Hannah Mills, Senior Customer Relations Manager at Walberton Place Care Home

Thank you so much for your kind words, Debbie. I will be sure to share your feedback with the team, they will be so grateful for the time you have taken to share with us your thoughts.

I had a very pleasant room - bath, TV and bedside light. The food was excellent although I could've done with more gravy and custard. The staff are extremely good, much appreciated. Hairdressing and manicure. I enjoyed my stay.

My mum was sent here for respite after breaking her hip. Because of lockdown we couldn’t visit for ten days and were naturally very concerned as to how Mum was coping. She always said she never wanted to go in a care home, it was her biggest worry. When we visited the first time, we were impressed with
how welcoming the staff were, and the thought that had gone into such a well designed home for the residents. Mum was upset when we first saw her, not because she wanted to leave but because she loved it so much she wanted to stay. Her biggest worry was that we would take her away. Mum is now a full-time resident, she says the food is very good and the staff are very kind. She likes all the activities and celebrated her birthday recently, the highlight for her was everyone singing happy birthday to her. I can see how happy my mum is. I do think it would be helpful if we knew the names of the staff who look after her on a regular basis, we rarely seem to see the same ones when we visit.

All responses must of necessity be qualified at the moment because of the pandemic. While we have been able to see our friend under very unusual conditions and been able to talk to staff, we have not been able to visit him at will, see his room, observe his daily interaction with staff or see his food.
That said, what we have seen of the home is beautifully appointed, and our limited contact with the staff has made us very reassured that he is receiving the best possible care and attention. Thus the responses to the following questions relate only to what we have seen so far. The questions relating to room and food do not allow for a “don’t know” response, so my response is a guess.

I have to stress that I have visited my friend during an unusual period (Covid), and haven’t seen Walberton as thoroughly as I would otherwise have done. That said, I am very impressed by the skilled care and kindness shown by the staff looking after him. When I started to visit, staff would introduce
themselves and update me. The senior nurse has been very reassuring. Reception staff are always welcoming. So, my assessment is incomplete but I feel that my friend is in safe hands.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

I should start by saying that for most of my mum's stay I couldn't visit her and haven't seen inside the home since the day she moved in last year. We were initially drawn to Walberton Place due to the facilities, food and activities on offer and because they were still facilitating visits at that time.
Though living with dementia, my mum is sociable and enthusiastic still. The activities did seem to be better than her previous smaller care home, the chef more willing to adapt to her requests/needs and she seemed happy as far as we could tell. The level of communication by the home, which we have had to rely on over past months, has been disappointing and several of the staff who were so obliging in the beginning moved on shortly afterwards. That said, I have no reason to doubt the carers at the point of delivery at Walberton Place do anything but a fantastic job, under difficult circumstances, and I look forward to witnessing the care and activities first-hand, hopefully soon.

We had to move our Mum from another care home during the lockdown. The staff were professional and accommodating and the liaison with the Customer Services Manager was exceptional. We have been visiting Mum in the last few months, since the lockdown has eased. She always seems happy and looks well cared
for. She displays a lot of affection towards the staff. What could have been an extremely distressing time has been handled with care and Mum maintains her dignity.

My mum was needing more and more supervision and support due to her dementia and living alone. It was a constant worry about her well-being and safety and due to Covid-19 daily interaction with others, was limited. She was getting lonely and fed up, I enquired at Walberton Place after visiting their
website and reading care reviews. I was met with a friendly, caring and supportive customer relations manager who helped manage Mum’s move in a speedy manner. The facilities are first class with a fantastic caring team, communication is excellent and nothing is ever too much trouble. Moving Mum to Walberton Place was a decision we needed to make to enhance her quality of life and our families, as we could not provide 24-hour care. As a family, we know she is being well looked after and is safe, she gets the support she needs and is having fun. They have an amazing wellbeing team that ensures the days are filled with stimulating activities in beautiful surroundings.

I have both my mum and my auntie in Walberton Place - auntie was a resident on day one so I think the fact that my mum is also now a resident means that I have been thoroughly happy and impressed with the delivery and standard of care that they both receive. The home is warm and welcoming, even through
the strange Covid times. Both my relatives are happy and settled which means that I’m happy. The management team are well lead and seem motivated to deliver great care. So overall, very pleased with our choice to place two very special ladies in the care of Walberton Place.

The staff are very friendly and very professional in the care that is given. My father is so happy there and nothing

The home is always clean and very well presented.

I needed a care home for my father, who was starting to suffer from dementia, when I found the website for Walberton Place. From this point on, I cannot express my thanks enough to the entire Walberton Place Team. My father loved the home when we first went around it, and my mother (with no additional
care needs) decided that she also wanted to move in. They were both hugely happy there, I simply couldn’t have found a more loving home for them. The non-stop care, attention and compassion given to my father in his final days was outstanding. The support given to my mother by the home at this time was equally impressive, bearing in mind that this happened when the family was unable to visit. The home has remained COVID-19 free and this is, I am sure, due to the meticulous attention to every tiny detail of healthcare which the nursing staff give to residents. If you are looking for a caring, loving home for anyone on your family, look no further than Walberton Place!

Walberton Place has to be one of the best care homes around. I chose to stay there to prepare for, and recover from, a very important surgical procedure. I was so glad I did because I needed help to look after myself and Walberton did all the looking after that I needed. All the staff were my friends
and were so helpful when needed. I wouldn't have been in the position I'm in now were it not for my stay there. I consider my life has been enriched by both staff, and indeed, fellow residents.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.710)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.710) out of 10 for Walberton Place Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.710 for Walberton Place Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (162 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 210 Ratings = 4.71

  • 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 Walberton Place Care Home is based on 17 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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16, which has been reached with 17 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.
