Mum was moved to nursing care, having been on the top floor, early 2023. The staff were all superb both prior to, during and after her move. They treat her with the greatest of dignity, and respect her Alzheimer's needs. The staff work tirelessly to ensure she is as happy and content as possible. They
always keep in contact with family and keep us updated. They involve family in planned activities and party events. It feels like a home from home. I cannot thank every member of staff involved in Mum's care enough. You have allowed me peace of mind.

My aunt is currently a resident and her care to say the least is abysmal. I would not recommend this home to people who need feeding, toileting or a general level of care. There are only two staff on the floor and that is insufficient to provide the necessary level of care. These homes are profit motivated
and residents are secondary. Staff are underpaid and that in part determines the quality of service. I can't get my aunt out quick enough.

Reply from Gabriela Ciurea, Manager at Weavers House

Hi Michael ,
We would like to ensure that our teams are committed to providing outstanding quality care and rest assured the safety and wellbeing of our residents is our top priority.
We thank you for your cooperation in scheduling a meeting to discuss any issues you have regarding your aunt.

In respect of my Aunt (a resident) sadly, in my opinion, I have found the level of care to be well below standards set by the RQIA.
Having raised genuine and legitimate concerns with the home I have been met with a wall of hostility. The only action taken, a complaint made against me to my aunt's next
of kin and her social worker. I am at fault for daring to speak up for a loved one who is unable to speak for herself, I can only feel for residents who have no one to speak up on their behalf.
I feel vilified for speaking out but will not be silenced.

My Mum went into this home on November 2022. My Mum gets the care and attention she needs and all the staff are friendly and extremely brilliant at their job. For me it is a pleasure to go and see my Mum and knowing she is content and happy and more importantly really well looked after gives me great
satisfaction. Thank you.

I travelled from the USA to visit my relative during pandemic conditions. From the outset, the staff at this home carried out and explained the strict regulations necessary with politeness. I found the home conditions, cleanliness and food supplied were to the highest standard. The working staff were
friendly, courteous, kind, interesting and considerate to both my relative and me. Words cannot describe the dedication, interactions and happiness on display by staff every day and they are a true credit to their employers. I return to the USA with the knowledge that my relative is in excellent hands to be cared for in my absence. 5-stars.

Reply from Andrea Harkness, Home Manager at Weavers House

Good afternoon, thank you so much for the review. We were looking forward to your return from America, and we are so grateful to hear you send your full recommendation for Weavers House. We appreciate how satisfied you are with the care and kindness of our team, and with your relative's care. Thanks again for the wonderful feedback.

I have a great relationship with Weavers House Care Home which my mum is a resident. The care is second to none, the staff are so friendly and have great compassion for my mum and us as a family. I feel they treat my mum as a very special person and cater for her individual needs first and dementia
second. I feel very much at home when I'm visiting Mum and they make me very welcome. I would recommend Weavers House to anyone.

It was a pleasure visiting Weavers House as a volunteer pre-covid. The atmosphere is warm and friendly and the residents are obviously well cared for. The activities coordinator is very talented and arranges a fantastic programme for the residents, which they take part in enthusiastically. The children
involved in my project (inter-generational choir) had a great experience working with the residents and were always rewarded with beautiful snacks and treats by the team. The staff are dedicated to their work and have a very good rapport with the residents. I have kept in contact with the staff and hope to re-establish the link with our school as soon as it is safe to do so.

We would like to thank the staff at Weavers for all their help and patience in settling Mum into her new residence. Mum has settled so well and always seem happy when we see her on FaceTime. Getting to visit Mum weekly in the pod has also helped us all adjust, although we can't wait for face to face
visits. The staff are very helpful when we phone and give us weekly updates.

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.
