My family cannot praise the staff enough for all the care & attention they gave our dad whilst in the home. He was so very well looked after by everyone which gave us great comfort & reassurance. We, as the family, were also very well looked after, which was greatly appreciated. Highly recommend The
Orchards Care Home.

So impressed with the way the home is being run. Such a positive and friendly atmosphere as soon as you walk in the door.
Staff seem much happier in their work, and there seems to be a real connection between management and what goes on "on the floor", definitely not shut away in the office all the
time!

My mother recently moved up to the top floor of the home as she required more care. The transition was well managed and the staff communication was excellent. They remembered to say mum likes to use her pretty plates at meal times. Mum has settled in well into her new environment due to the support
of the staff and home. Thank you.

Reply from Clint Farmer, Home Support Manager at The Orchards

Thank you for your review of the Orchards Care Home, we are so pleased that you feel the transition went well for Mum and that she is now settled in on the Peach Unit, I will make sure that I pass your feedback and comments onto the team. Many thanks once again.

I was very ill when I arrived at the care home, 29 May 2023, and I was convinced I would be dead by the end of July. But the care I have been given - from tests to a complete change in medication - have helped me stop being wheelchair-bound, learn to walk again and become a useful resident. I lost my
sense of taste and smell a few years ago but food is more than that. I enjoy the feel of what's in my mouth. But since Autumn 2023 stews/casseroles have dominated the menu and repetitive vegetables have added to the boredom. We thought a new chef would liven things up. Is he being given sufficient funds to buy the ingredients or is he limited to buying cheap?

Reply from Sam Humphreys, Home Manager at The Orchards

Thank you for your review. I am delighted that your move to The Orchards has been so transformative for you and that your mobility has so greatly improved. It is wonderful to read that you now feel you are a useful addition to our community. We most certainly agree! I very much appreciate your feedback on the menu. Following our recent conversation I hope you are reassured that sufficient funds are being made available to ensure we provide tasty and varied meal choices. I am confident you will continue to see current improvements in the weeks and months ahead.

Overall care is good. Management never see the residents are the main cause of very good carers leaving.
The food is generally poor - so no value for the amount residents pay.

My dad was very well looked after at The Orchards. It was very clean and comfortable. A lovely garden the residents can sit in. The staff were great, but the management was very unprofessional and not upfront in the way they communicated with the family.

Reply from Donna Mills, Support Manager at The Orchards

Many thanks for submitting your review, we really appreciate honest feedback as it helps us to reflect and ultimately continue to improve our services. As discussed in our recent correspondence, we regret that the lack of communication from the hospital regarding your father's care meant we were unable to effectively communicate with you in the way we would have liked to. We value transparency in our communication with our residents and their relatives, so we are disappointed circumstances outside of our control meant we fell short in this instance. We are glad that you were happy with the care your father received from us, and we thoroughly enjoyed getting to know him.

I live overseas. My mother recently passed away as a resident of the Orchards Care Home in Ely. They called me and I flew over to support Mum in her passing. I would like to share my feelings of gratitude for the beyond-excellent care provided by the staff. I visited Mum in the secure unit every day
for 3 weeks before her passing. I was always kindly received and I was able to see the extraordinary kindness of the staff shown to all the residents of this special unit for people with dementia. The staff were caring, friendly and kind, they were also very skilled in managing the significant cognitive and physical needs safely of these special residents. I would also like to mention that the home was superbly clean and tidy and I was struck by the complete lack of any smells that I often find in care homes. The management are competent leaders and very approachable. I had complete confidence in their care of Mum.

I have visited my friend on several occasions. Without fail, I have met with smiles and friendliness. I witness the interactions with my friend, always polite, with a smile and very respectful.
Prior to my retirement, my work involved visiting many residential nursing homes. I can honestly say that
the care at The Orchards is exceptional and a pleasure to witness.

I cannot praise The Orchards highly enough. My mum was in urgent need of some respite care and three days after the initial phone call she was resident in an absolutely beautiful room. She would not have a nicer room had I booked her into a hotel, the en-suite is brilliant and she has patio doors opening
to a lovely little garden which is totally secure as is the whole place, you have to be buzzed out so no chance of anyone wandering off. I was worried about the food as my mum can be quite fussy and likes her meals one million degrees hot, having checked with her she commented ‘the food is lovely and it’s always piping hot’ which is a massive compliment from my mum. Nothing is too much trouble for the brilliant staff and I am so relieved to know my mum is safe and being looked after to such a high standard. My mum can be, how shall I put this, rather stubborn and ‘reluctantly’ agreed to a 4-week stay to recover after major surgery but she now thinks she might rather fancy staying longer!

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

The most important point is that my Mother is extremely happy at the Orchards and frequently tells us of her own volition. The employed staff are excellent and could not be more helpful or caring. Core staff listen to the needs of my mother and clearly strive to implement any requested changes to routine.
One
key issue is staffing particularly the apparent lack of full-time senior staff. The use of Agency staff is entirely understandable and the staffing issues are in no way a reflection on the Orchards as this is a National issue. However, the knock-on effect on some occasions has been a reduced level of interaction and movement encouragement of my mother.
The Quality and variety of food at the Orchards are a concern. I had anticipated a higher and more varied selection.
Overall the quality of care at the Orchards is quite excellent and as a consequence of the incredible effort by everyone my mother is incredibly happy
I would like to sincerely thank you for everything you do.

Reply from Sam Humphreys, Home Manager at The Orchards

Thank you so much for your feedback, all of which is appreciated. The team love to hear when the care they provide is recognised as being of excellent quality as this is their aim each and every day. Where we haven't quite met the expectation, we welcome the opportunity feedback provides us for further discussion and resolution.
I will be in contact so that we can catch up to discuss food preferences and choices.

Since my mother became a resident at The Orchards she has been given exceptionally good care. The staff are very loving and keep a close watch on her, particularly if she became unwell. The building offers many additional benefits not found in other homes and this makes for a better standard of living
for the residents, the spacious gardens are an ideal outlet, particularly in the summer. The additional entertainments are a welcome and psychological boost to all the residents as well as bringing together a family atmosphere. Visitors are treated with respect and courtesy and kept informed of all that is going on and are able to join in whenever they wish. The management staff are very efficient and very hands on which gives our family confidence and peace of mind when we are not there. This was a good choice.

My father died at The Orchards in September after a long-term decline with dementia. The staff were so kind, thoughtful, sympathetic and caring. It made his last few days so much more bearable. All the team looked in on us at all times of day and night; brought us food when they thought we would be
hungry and made the whole process of the procedure after his death run smoothly and with the greatest dignity.

The Orchards provide excellent care and I feel that my mother is in safe hands. The staff and management are friendly and caring, and always on hand with a smile and a chat. The home is immaculate and clean and a pleasant environment to be in. The gardens allow for short, safe walks. Meals seem great
and always smell lovely whenever I attend. Entertainment is improving and seems that activities are provided every morning and afternoon. I can't stress enough how important this is to maintain and build on for the residents. Only one small request for improvement, staff need to lose the face masks, it makes it very difficult for communication and recognition.

The Orchards care home is both modern and pleasing. The rooms are very functional and cleaned on a regular basis. The staff are lovely and very compassionate with the residents who love them in return. The meals are in the main good but I do feel that another meal option would be beneficial. I would
thoroughly recommend The Orchards for those wishing to place their loved ones in a 'home from home'.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.465)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.465) out of 10 for The Orchards 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 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 4.632 for The Orchards is calculated as follows: ( (100 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 136 Ratings = 4.632

  • 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 4.833 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Orchards is based on 11 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.2 = 0.833

  • 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.
