My relative was treated with dignity and respect from the moment he became a permanent resident in Weavers House. The staff were very dedicated to care provision and in the latter stages the care he received was second to none. The fact he was able to remain in the home and not have to go to hospital
was a huge relief to us as a family. Any changes in condition were relayed to us in a timely fashion and we were involved in all decisions. If I could move this home and the staff to where I live we would have done so, we had an opportunity to move my father-in-law closer to home but we decided not to due to standard of care.

Reply from Gabriela Ciurea, Manager at Weavers House

We were extremely honored to have looked after your father-in-law and have you as the next of kin. We would like to extend our utmost thanks for taking the time to provide us with such important feedback and a review.

Since my grandfather has been in Weavers the support and care that the staff offer has been nothing short of exceptional. We as a family are always met with a smile at the front door from all staff members. Overall Weavers have exceeded expectations and we as a family have peace of mind knowing he is
receiving the best care possible.

Overall I am very satisfied with the care and attention my father receives in Weavers, there is some wonderful staff (you know who you are) who treat my father like family for which both my sister and I are truly grateful, one small issue we do have however is the laundry, clothing seems to disappear,
eventually some items turn up again, everything is labelled, this is the only frustration I have as the food, care and attention cannot be faulted. Thank you for taking care of our father.

I have nothing but good things to say about our experience with Weavers. The staff were so warm and welcoming when I arrived on the first day with my Mum and I immediately felt reassured. The simple fact that they photographed Mum's clothes and possessions made it clear that they value the residents
as people with their own preferences and style. The activities provided by the activities coordinators were brilliant and so well thought out. Eventually, my mum stopped engaging with the group activities but I enjoyed seeing the residents smiling and dancing. The parties are always great fun. As my mum's care needs increased, the staff were so patient with her, particularly as she struggled to swallow. They also supported me and other family members with care and respect when we were spending time with Mum in her final days, and for that, I am so grateful. I would encourage anyone considering a care home for their loved one to choose Weavers. The standard of care is second to none.

My father currently resides at Weavers House. Since arriving the whole team has supported and reassured us both through his transition. Weavers provides me with peace of mind as I know he's in safe hands with dedicated trained staff who are kind and compassionate and have his best interests at heart.
Overall Weavers House is a lovely, clean and safe environment with beautiful gardens to enjoy and also exceptional array of activities which fill the home with laughter and joy. Thoroughly recommend this jewel in the crown.

Mum was very doubtful at the start but thankfully settled in! She is very reserved and I was glad to see her in the day room a few times, however, a fight between two residents at her door scared her. I'd like to suggest perhaps a member of staff could sit at each end rather than everyone around the
middle. Apart from that I felt Mum was well cared for and was safe and it was nice I could get much-needed sleep! The entertainment at the Spring party was outstanding and we both enjoyed it! Thank you for everything.

On January the 24th 2023, I visited an elderly relative. It was comforting to me to see her in her room, she was very happy sitting in a chair and a lovely sunny room by the window when a carer bought her a cup of afternoon tea and shortbread. My cousin was nicely dressed and clean, as was the room.
Staff popped in and took a short walk with us, encouraging her with her Walker. When I was leaving staff gave me a tour and I was very impressed with the stimulation of crafts for Easter. There was music playing in the background. I was very impressed with Weavers House. A home from home.

We as a family have built up a good friendship with the staff who care so much and nothing is ever too much bother for them to ensure that our mother/grandmother

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.743)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.743) out of 10 for Weavers House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.743 for Weavers House is calculated as follows: ( (287 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 323 Ratings = 4.743

  • 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 Weavers House is based on 25 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 18 registered maximum number of service users is 3.6, which has been reached with 25 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.
