My family member lived at Edgehill for a number of years, and I honestly don't know what we would have done, as a family, without them. They were so supportive of our family as well as providing above and beyond care to my family member. I will always recommend this wonderful home to anyone!

My mother-in-law recently moved into this care home and she has already settled in well. The staff are friendly and very welcoming we are always asked if we want to know anything and the staff are always happy to help. Recently we attended a family day with a BBQ and entertainment, we had an amazing
time. My mother-in-law loved it too. What an excellent home - well done!

Gramps was admitted to Edgehill Care Home as he was taken unwell at home following a stay in hospital and it was decided he could not manage at home. However very grateful we were. He loved the home and the staff. He, although not a people person, spent time in the dining area with the others, and spent
time in the garden with people. We as a family were able to visit 24/7. We even took him to the pub. I am so pleased the last weeks of his life was at Edgehill.

I have been so impressed with Edgehill Care Home since my dad has been there for some respite. The home always has a calm, relaxed and contented feel to it. The staff are always approachable and show such kindness and empathy with residents on an individual basis. The food cannot be faulted the meals
are to a high standard and there are plenty of cups of tea and snacks available. Residents are kept busy and there are lots of activities/games to keep them entertained, stimulated and engaged. What is most important to us as a family is knowing that dad is safe and well cared for and the compassion and genuine fondness are shown in abundance by staff. I cannot thank all at Edgehill enough for everything they do in what is a very difficult and challenging job. The staff at Edgehill should be very proud of the service they provide.

My gran moved in just before Christmas and she has improved so much since being at Edgehill. She enjoyed the company of the other residents and she always enjoys the activities. The staff are always working hard and she has settled in really well. It's such a relief for the family knowing she is well
looked after and we are now considering Grandad moving in too!

The manager and the entire team at Edgehill are to be congratulated for today's BBQ for residents and family/friends. Despite the unseasonal weather, the food and entertainment were excellent. The care staff were very friendly and fully engaged with the residents, who enjoyed the event. Although Mum
only recently moved to Edgehill, we have confidence in the team, and look forward to future visits.

Thank you for taking the time to submit a review on our home. I am glad that as a new family member, you got to experience what Edgehill truly is which is a warm and friendly home with a dedicated team who want what is best for those in our care.
The BBQ was a lovely day and made even more so by having the support of so many family members attend.

All the staff were very caring and showed love to my mum. Nothing was too much trouble. Mum adored all the staff and was very comfortable with the staff and residents. I am so pleased that mum spent her last days in such a warm and caring care home. I had no worries about mum residing there, they are
all special people. If their job is hard at times you would never know it. First class!!

Throughout covid the home was amazing with the care of residents when mum had covid they were amazing with her (she's 96) she was extremely ill but they pulled her through, kept us up to date and treated her like their own mum. She has Alzheimer's and unfortunately had to go into a home just before
covid. She is happy and settled and would highly recommend the home and often do. The staff and management are truly your biggest asset here.

Review from Maggie M (Sister of Resident) published on 22 March 2023

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

For the last five years, my sister has been a resident at Edgehill Care Home in Swindon. It took a while for me to adjust to having a sister in a care home. Initially I was not that happy with the running of the home, its cleanliness, the personal care administered to my sister. I thought there was
a lack of a one-to-one relationship, in particular her dress and personal help in really understanding what my sister was able to do and not do.
However, over the last year or more, I have seen a tremendous change in the way my sister is managed and cared for. The staff, albeit changing from time to time, which goes with care homes, really take great care of my sister and are interested in her as a person and not just a commodity.
The care home is clean, with no smells, very welcoming and one thing which I think is paramount that the activities set up, normally at least one a day, is excellent and keep, as much as possible, all residents involved.

Reply from Lisa Edwards, Manager at Edgehill Care Home

My 85-year-old Mum went into Edgehill for a three-week respite. She was noted as a fall risk on admission. On her 6th day, she had a fall in her room and fractured her arm. She was returned from the hospital with paracetamols only. Edgehill took a week to organise stronger medication. In that week they
also lost my Mum's hearing aids and glasses. Basically in that week, she must have been in pain and unable to see or hear. I can only imagine the distress she must have been in. A few days later she rolled out of bed and dislocated her shoulder. She went from Edgehill to the local hospital (again), where she remains 3 months later. She's basically been going downhill ever since and that all really started from her time at Edgehill. On a separate note, within an hour of admission, we were told that the home had a new Covid outbreak and was closed to visitors. My Mum went into another Agincare home a few months earlier and exactly the same thing happened there on admission.

Today's visit happened to be at the same time alpacas were visiting which all the residents seemed to enjoy. A favourite of Mum's is the singers that visit regularly. It is lovely to see her happy and interacting with the staff and other residents, as when at home she constantly complained of being
lonely. All the staff are friendly, professional and could not be more helpful.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.857)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.857) out of 10 for Edgehill 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.857 for Edgehill Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (146 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.857

  • 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 Edgehill Care Home is based on 14 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 14 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.
