Dad moved into Edgehill Care Home almost 2 years ago and loves living there. He has made many friends and is never lonely. I can now rest easy that dad is safe and comfortable in a great care home with lovely, caring staff that treat him with love and respect as they look after him and the other residents.

My mum has settled in very well. A lovely home. It feels cosy and welcoming. Staff are all very friendly. Everyone has really made her feel comfortable.
The maintenance man has put everything up for her so quickly, her room feels like home.
Management were very welcoming, covering all her needs.
The
manager is always helpful and always happy to sort out any worries we had.
Mum is very, very happy.

Since the new entertainment manager came to the home the entertainment side of the home has dramatically improved to what I would describe as excellent. She is really hardworking and goes above and beyond in her desire to keep the residents busy and happy.

Morale among carers and staff is not good. A lot of good carers left all at once.


Small kitchen in the lounge has a hot water tank that leaks all the time - the fridge needs replacing and the standard of cleanliness in that kitchen is not good.


The overall standards have dropped considerably over

the last year.

My father came into the home skeletal. Very poorly. 18 months later, with the excellent care and support from the staff and management, he is a different person. He has put on weight and is happy. He has a very good rapport with all staff. He is safe and secure and is treated with dignity. If anything
unexpected happens to him (eg a fall) I am always informed. Very pleased with the care.

My mother has been a resident for a few years now, so Edgehill feels like a real home. In the beginning, she had few needs but now requires greater attention and care. The staff have provided this with smiles and have given both of us support at really trying times. For Mum; its a safe, friendly environment.
For me; they give me reassurance and confidence my precious package (Mum) is being cared for and protected.

My mother was in Edgehill for five years. My sister and I visited many care homes but Edgehill was our choice and suited us best. Staff were always very supportive of us.
My mother was not the easiest user but the staff handled her excellently.
If we ever had any concerns, they were always dealt with
satisfactorily. We could visit at any time, never restricted at any time.
Staff were always happy to accommodate.

Mother's care has been professional and appropriate and she was treated with dignity and sensitivity. To be assured of that has been very important to us considering her significantly declining memory and physical incapacity including macular degeneration when combined with the fact that we lived 2.5
hours drive away and unable to visit on a daily basis. The carers have been as friendly and as helpful as they could. All this has been particularly significant as she came to the last days of her life. Furthermore, the newly appointed office manager brought much-needed help and support during this difficult time. The whole approach to mother's care leading to the end of her life has been excellent and has been a source of comfort to us. Thank you to all at Edgehill Care Home.

I was sat across from a resident with one of the support workers. I just wanted to comment on how excellent she was treating the lady. She was engaged with the resident. Never once stopped talking to her. Kept her eyes on her and was laughing with the resident. It’s good to see that they are receiving
the best care. I would happily send one off my relatives here for seeing just this.

Reply from Denise Stevens, Manager at Edgehill Care Home

Hi Kaitlin, thank you for taking the time to make such positive comments regarding the support given to one of our residents. It's very much appreciated and I will pass these on to the team.
Regards Manager.

From the moment we stepped through the doors, we experienced efficiency, care and above all kindness. All the residents seemed happy/content and well cared for.
In the whole time we were there we never heard a harsh voice or any unkindness in any way.
There appears to be sufficient staff so that no
resident is ever left bewildered or without an arm around their shoulders for comfort.

During my time at Edgehill I was welcomed with gracious greetings and assisted within all duties to aid residents when help was needed. On behalf of the residents, some suggested the call time could be long, but through my own experience I can assure the demanding scenario sometimes called for prioritising
and the manager was always happy to step in if help was needed (e.g. suggestions). The staff show key qualities required for working in such a profession, always brightening mine and the residents day. They demonstrated incredible care, meeting national framework and never let me down on any questions asked (e.g. knowing protocols). I visit the home regularly, maintaining my relationship with clients and ensuring they're healthy, which isn't much concern under Edgehill's care! Entertainment was varied and clients loved to join in, especially with singing. Glad I could be part of such an incredible experience, many thanks to the manager for allowing me to be involved.

Found staff very caring and helpful, willing to accommodate any request. They had good kitchen staff, plenty of good food. The residents mainly were happy and talkative, always had a good atmosphere.


Although an older type of care home, not all mod cons. Example shower and bath in residents room.

I would not hesitate to recommend.

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.
