From the moment I arrived for a week's care whilst a wetroom was being installed in my flat, I found warm and welcoming staff who genuinely cared and wanted to make my stay a comfortable one. I love the variety of staff backgrounds - all gave time and attention. My room was spacious and clean, as were
the lounges and restaurant. There is a good number of rooms for social gatherings and activities. All much appreciated.

My mum moved from hospital into a different care home and didn't settle very well. Then we moved her to Scholars Mews, and she has been so much happier. Her room is wonderful, the staff are incredible, and the food is just terrific. My sister and I live some distance away, so it's amazing to know Mum
is so well cared for and safe. Thank you to all the team!

We are impressed and happy with Scholars Mews. Mum accepts she has a degenerative condition, and compromises are unavoidable. She knows she is in a safe, secure place 24/7 and is no longer anxious. The medical practitioner is her own GP. She enjoys the food and drinks a lot. Staff are diligent, kind
and gentle. Adaptive to changing needs. Communications are good, visits useful, team meetings and info about accidents or illnesses very comprehensive. All achieved in the negative climate of Covid and staff shortages WIht activities happening again; we are confident Mum's experience will only improve.

My mother has been a resident since January 22, taking a while to settle, but now seems ok. Staff are a great help. Mother has dementia and can be difficult at times, but the staff are very good with her. Issues with the supply of incontinence pads are yet to be resolved.

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

Thank you for taking the time to review Scholars Mews Care Home in Stratford-upon-Avon; your kind words are greatly appreciated. I can only apologise for the delay in the community incontinence team assessing your mother, this was chased on several occasions, but unfortunately, they were dealing with a huge backlog. I can confirm that she has now been assessed. Once again, thank you for your kind words. Best wishes.

Scholars Mews Care Home offers a very high standard of care to my mother, who has settled well and is comfortable here. The staff at the home are outstanding and very accommodating. The care team are well trained and professional and the admin/reception staff are approachable, supportive and friendly.
My mother joined the Scholars Mews community during the second wave of the Covid pandemic, but the high standards and hard work of the staff ensured she was kept safe and well. Thank you to the team for your excellent level of care and commitment.

My mother had a short period of respite care whilst her stairlift was replaced. The staff were outstanding and really made my mother feel welcomed. One lady, in particular, was truly exceptional. Deft care with a great sense of humour. Another lady also had a terrific sense of humour too, making my
mother welcome from the very outset. Many thanks!

My mother is safe in a well-managed care home. The difficulties in the last year made it especially difficult to assess more fully how she is. The home seems to have dealt with the challenge successfully, and we very much appreciate the care she is given.

I have only had an experience of the home for three months, so haven't answered some of the ratings. Generally a positive experience with caring staff. Difficulty getting through on the phone to the home and then being cut off when calls transfer is the only major problem. Phone often takes a long time
to be answered, and staff sometimes are not sure who to transfer a call. These problems experienced by all of our family and friends that call Dad.

Reply from Ryan Farrelly, Marketing Assistant at Scholars Mews Care Home - Avery Healthcare

Thank you for taking the time to review Scholars Mews Care Home. We are delighted to hear how satisfied you are with the exceptional level of care your father receives, and it is a pleasure to have your father as part of our loving care community. We sincerely apologies for the issues you may have faced with contacting our home via telephone. We are currently experiencing some issues transferring our phone lines between the different floors, but please rest assured that our IT department is working hard to fix this. We look forward to welcoming back into our home for safe regular visiting now that the government restrictions have been eased. Best Wishes.

It has been such a relief to see Mum looking so well, happy, content and relaxed. Something I hadn't seen for a long time. Although her memory doesn't allow her to tell me much about her experiences here, she always has good words for the staff looking after her.

Scholars Mews Care Home has been extremely cautious and careful during the pandemic, protecting their residents, for which, the relatives are very grateful. We will all be glad when restrictions can be lifted, and residents are allowed out and can meet their relatives closely again. It's been tough
for all, and we congratulate the staff and carers who have done their best under difficult circumstances. The pod visits have helped a lot of people. Thank you.

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.
