My sister has passed a few days ago after a stay if about 5 years at Charnwood House Nursing Home. I have always found the staff to be friendly, courteous and helpful. My sister had mental health issues and the excellent accommodation was a real comfort. I am happy she was able to have such a high level
of support.

A caring personal home, where management and staff get to know the resident and their family. Whilst some of the decor/furniture is not modern, the rooms were immaculately clean and freshly painted. Most importantly, dad's comfort and medical care was clearly paramount to all. We cannot thank them enough
and would highly recommend.

Reply from Cimy George, Director at Charnwood House Nursing Home

All staff are friendly and helpful and the care home is clean and tidy. Lovely to be able to talk any problems through and know you are listed too. We like the extra touch of the calendar clocks, which are really helpful.

Mum has been in Charnwood House since July 2020. She has been looked after with dignity and compassion. The carers are so patient, as my mum can be quite a challenge to look after at times.
Although the nursing home is in an old house, it has recently been updated by the new owners, who have made
it into a very friendly, caring, lovely, welcoming home for my mum to live in and for me to visit.

My mum went to Charnwood Nursing Home in 2020 with Dementia. Unfortunately, she passed away in December 2023. In all the time she was there The manager and all the carers were always approachable and nothing short of amazing. On a few occasions, we would go in and ask if we could see her room and were
shown up immediately without hesitation. She was always clean and obviously cared for. Mum although having dementia was often full of life. Often laughing and chatting to the carers. She was happy in her world. When she passed away all the carers were in genuine tears. Personally, I cannot fault her care and once again like to say a big thank you to everyone there.

My father went to Charnwood House Nursing Home for 4 weeks to give me respite for myself I was a little apprehensive at first because it looks a little untidy from the outside but the owners are doing a lot of improvements on the property, I will admit that the owner and all the staff are absolutely
marvellous people and so friendly. My father has had a wonderful time at Charnwood House Nursing Home and wants to go back, they are very warm people and very understanding the residents are well cared for my father has said the food is excellent and the support and care is fantastic overall they deserve a 10 Star rating. Thank you to all at Charnwood House Nursing Home for taking such good care of my father.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.504)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.504) out of 10 for Charnwood House Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 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 4.504 for Charnwood House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (74 Excellents x 5) + (46 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 129 Ratings = 4.504

  • 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 Charnwood House Nursing Home 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 35 registered maximum number of service users is 7, which has been reached with 11 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.
