Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Faultless in every way. My mother was suddenly taken very unwell at the beginning of March and needed urgent respite care. From the first phone call with their regional community relations lead, I was made to feel totally at ease. During Mum's stay, nothing has been too much trouble for any of the staff,
whether caring for her, the receptionist, the manager - just amazing.
Mum is returning home on Friday, but personally I feel Montague House is where she should be. But, due to her own independence and being of sound mind, she needs to return home to understand her own needs now.
Thank you each and every one of you for everything you have done to get Mum back onto her feet and in such a happy, five-star environment. I could never ask for anything better from a first-class team.

Reply from Jacqueline Brown, Regional Community Relations Lead at Montague House Care Home

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! I have passed on this lovely feedback to the team. We loved having Mum stay with us and look forward to seeing her one day in the future when she is ready, but wish her all the best at home!

This is a fantastic home! We worked hard to keep Mum at home and had to get her into a care home when her health got too much to manage at home. She's thriving. We never thought she'd walk again after her hospital stay or be able to say a few words and now she does both. It's in small bursts, but it's
there. It doesn't matter what time we visit, she's clean, well-dressed and comfortable. Thank you for all you are doing!

Reply from Julie Prevett, Home Manager at Montague House Care Home

Thank you so much for taking the time for making such a wonderful review. We are delighted that Mum is thriving so well within the home environment. Our homemakers always strive to deliver the standards of care our residents deserve and to fulfil their loved ones expectations. We will share your kind words with the team.

Wonderful, caring staff at Montague House. Mum has lots of positive and well-run activities that have transformed her life. In very difficult circumstances with care needs, we all have positivity back. The facilities are smart, modern and cosy too. It feels like a real home.

From my first contact with Montague House Care Home. The staff have been amazing, they have been efficient as well as caring and understanding. My mother has received wonderful care whilst she has been at the home, which has meant her recovery from a serious fall has been so much quicker. The thing
I want to thank the staff at Montague House Care Home, especially for is their support for me as a carer, they have taken time to speak to me as a carer and they have taken time to speak to me to check I am okay as well.

Reply from Julie Prevett, Home Manager at Montague House Care Home

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience.
We always strive for a holistic approach to encompass not just the resident but also family, friends and visitors to the home.
Mum is such a lovely lady with such a loveable nature. She helps to bring a smile to all of our faces every day.

Mum loves being here and I'm very happy with the care that the staff give her. The only slight negative is that sometimes the communication could be better - particularly when COVID restrictions are added and removed.
5 members of staff have been particularly lovely, they are all very supportive and
find time to reassure us.

We visited a friend who we hadn't seen for 3 years and from the moment of contact via email to arrange everything, we were dealt with utter professionalism and compassion. When we arrived, we were greeted by name and again with such professionalism and thorough care. We were amazed at everything we
experienced during our time at the home. It is beautiful and every member of staff treated us with such kindness. It is clear our friend could not be in a better place.

I booked myself into the Montague House Care Home in Brampton for four weeks of respite care following a replacement hip operation.
I received such marvellous care which I am sure helped towards my recovery and enabled me to return home after 4 weeks and look after myself.
I cannot speak highly enough
of the dedication and patience of all the staff.

My brother has settled in really well. He has many mood swings sometimes when we are visiting but the staff are brilliant and calm him down and they are all very friendly to him. If the home has a problem with my brother, they inform us and the problem is solved very quickly. I couldn't think of a better
place for my brother to be and feel really at ease knowing that he is safe and being well looked after.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My review relating to our experience of Montague House is based on a limited period of six weeks that my wife has been a resident.
I have no experience of care homes, my wife had only resided in one other for approximately six months on a part-time/full-time basis, prior to coming to Montague House.
What
I can say with certainty is that Montague House has fulfilled and exceeded my expectations. Not only are the facilities wonderful but the staff equally talented.
It's been a massive relief to see my wife so well cared for and so happy whenever I visit.
I would thoroughly recommend their approach to residential care and commend them for the effort and kindness that they have shown us.

My experience has been excellent, after a small problem at the beginning everyone is very attentive and nothing is too much trouble.
Everyone here is very patient with all the residents. Variety of food and quality are good mostly homemade pies, cakes and puddings etc. Activities are varied and interesting.
I will return here when I have another knee operation next year, if I am able to do so.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.649)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.649) out of 10 for Montague House Care Home 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.649 for Montague House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (183 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 245 Ratings = 4.649

  • 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 Montague House Care Home is based on 20 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14, which has been reached with 20 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.
