A wonderful place which feels and looks like a home. Beautiful layout always tidy and no smell.
The carers especially the team leaders are excellent, they treat their residents with respect and dignity whilst having fun.

My mother came to Scholar Mews in Stratford Upon Avon in September 2016. We have as a family, found it to be a very caring and friendly residential home. All the residents are well looked after and have varying needs. Individual rooms are welcoming and are kept very clean. The communal rooms are very
pleasant and a good place to sit for a coffee or drink. The garden is lovely and well looked after, and the food is extremely good and dining at Scholar Mews is a good experience for visitors and residents.

Clean, well-decorated, well-furnished room. Caring compassionate, competent staff. Excellent menu well prepared. Encouraging high level of staff morale responsible to questions or suggestions. Visitors, especially spouses are made very welcome. Easily the best of 7 homes which I visited. My wife has
been there the entire time of Avery ownership.

The care provided to my father has been exceptional. Without exception, all staff have been friendly, efficient and have enabled a reluctant and independent man to feel welcome, safe and well cared for. He has been treated with respect and dignity, despite changing needs and we are very grateful for
the "can do" attitude and person-centred care.

As indicated some were excellent. The food was made with love and served well. The care was satisfactory, some excellent and "human", others were not in treating you as the third person and agency carers not enjoying their jobs. I will stay again because overall I enjoyed my week's respite.

My mother is in the dementia unit and the activities carried out are amazing - keeping her brain active. She has maintained a level which I am sure is due to them and to the fabulous care she receives. The staff treat all residents as individuals. I cannot praise them highly enough.

Everything about Scholars Mews is excellent. The level of care my mother receives from such amazing staff is humbling. The atmosphere and surroundings are like a hotel and the food is as good as any restaurant I've experienced in the area.
But above all that, my mother is treated like a queen. She
has a social life with other residents and enjoys a good giggle with the staff as well.
We are a very short walk to the theatre, shops and Stratford is a wonderful town to be in.
My mother enjoys the in-house cinema and makes full use of the hair and beauty salon weekly.

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.
