When we came to see Dad we are always greeted so warmly - and impressed by the professionalism of the team at Scholars. Dad enjoys the wide range of activities and recently has appreciated being offered a haggis on Burns Night in recognition of his Scottish heritage and the regular visits from the local
school pupils.

We have been impressed by Scholars Mews. My mum-in-law has been treated with respect and dignity. In fact, when we have visited, we have witnessed the staff interaction with other service users. Dignity is always maintained too. Staff are so patient. They deserve medals. Everyone is treated with dignity.
Dealing with dementia patients is incredibly difficult and we really appreciate all the help and support they give. Honestly, it may be early days in her journey, but we have absolutely no complaints. Also, Scholars Mews is modern but homely and really clean. I'd like to think that if I need such a facility, this would be it. Thank you for all you do.

Reply from Louise Martin, General Manager at Scholars Mews Care Home - Avery Healthcare

My mum moved here in November 2024. She settled overnight as the staff made an amazing effort to get to know here and our family. Everyone is so kind and caring, very professional but also lots of fun. Mum is now interacting with activities, joins other residents for lunch (food is amazing). The staff
always have time to chat to my mum and our family. Their care is exceptional and my mum is thriving and very happy.

I believe my husband is very well looked after and all of the staff are extremely kind and caring. I call in to see him most days and he generally appears to be contented, happy and feeling positive.
The house is always welcoming and friends are always happy to visit him with any dogs that they may
have. I have a dog and everyone loves to see him, residents and staff.

My mum was a resident for nearly 5 years and she was really very happy at Scholars Mews. The staff were caring, respectful and professional, we couldn't have asked for more, so thank you to all the management and staff for looking after Mum so well.
I only have one disappointment, mum passed away in
June 2024 and her funeral was in July 2024, not one person from Scholars Mews attended the funeral which I was very disappointed with and I know mum would have been also.

Reply from Sammy Buckley, customer service manager at Scholars Mews Care Home - Avery Healthcare

The resident is well-fed, good food and care. Short-staffed at times. Visitors made very welcome. Residents are encouraged to walk as much as possible, which isn't always easy! If a 'frame' is needed - how do they obtain one? At times in bad cases of dementia, they don't remember or hear what the instructions
are, or where their rooms are! Now covid is less of a problem, social activities are returning which are very good and all residents and visitors may join in.

The decor is very restful colours of blue and mustard yellow, beautifully worked out in the decor. The small armchair placed by the window is well placed, and speaking as a person 5'3" in height, very comfortable. Good size, comfy bed. The shower room with a handheld shower was a good size, but sadly
the handheld was cumbersome and hopeless to shower without help!

Reply from Pauline Vernon, Manager at Scholars Mews Care Home - Avery Healthcare

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.492)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.492) out of 10 for Scholars Mews Care Home - Avery Healthcare 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 20 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 4.492 for Scholars Mews Care Home - Avery Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (136 Excellents x 5) + (83 Goods x 4) + (19 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 238 Ratings = 4.492

  • 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 Scholars Mews Care Home - Avery Healthcare 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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8, 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.
