My mother has been a resident in Weavers House for five years. During this time her care has been excellent. The staff are caring, professional and always treat her with great dignity. Food is very good and plenty of it. Surroundings are very comfortable with high standard of cleanliness. Daily/weekly
activities are available and great thought and preparation obviously go into these.

I have only good things to say about Weavers - my mother was placed there for 16 months (35 miles from me) and that was the only reason I moved her closer to my home.
It was with a very heavy heart as the staff were excellent and treated her with outstanding respect and care.
It is a brilliant care
home.

This nursing home provided a safe and caring environment for 2 weeks respite for my mum. She enjoyed the company and food and felt secure.


All the staff were very caring and understanding my mum's needs. They also were well managed too.

My husband's care in Weaver's has been second to none. Myself and my family are treated with the utmost respect.
The carers, the management and admin go out of their way to help.
We are made very welcome any time we visit, day or night.
I will take this opportunity to thank each and every one of
them.

My husband had a lovely experience staying at Weavers House. The staff were the very best, so kind, gentle, pleasant and always left him comfortable and happy. The rooms are painted in lovely pastel colours which gives a lovely atmosphere to the surroundings. The flowers and Summer seats at the front
entrance add a touch of luxury to the high standards within its closure. I would have no hesitation in recommending Weavers to everyone who would want to stay in a safe, comfortable environment.

My father is now residing at Weavers House and as a family, we are so pleased with the care he is getting.
We can see a marked improvement in his appearance, his social skills, his communication and willingness to converse with others. He seems more relaxed generally.
The staff can't do enough for
him and us as a family. The standard of the room and facilities are excellent. We know he is being well cared for.

The staff and management are friendly, courteous yet professional. I was told when my Mum arrived at Weavers House and personally taken to her room. All the staff introduced themselves, they call Mum by her name she is known by and take the time to talk to her as she wouldn't socialise much, but they
try to encourage her to socialise. The rooms are clean and Mum's clothes are kept clean. Nothing is a bother to them and they are always on hand to help.

My experience is rather limited as I only visit the care home once weekly for an hour or less.
My impression is very positive and I have found a friendly, helpful staff. The clients seem well looked after both physically and emotionally and are kept very clean and tidy.
From what I have experienced
at times, the catering and food are of a high standard and the clients appear on the whole to be very happy.

Mum seems settled and content in the nursing home and despite the nature of her illness does not seem to be deteriorating. The staff treat her with care and dignity from my own observations when I visit twice weekly and always inform me if there have been any incidents.

I think Weavers care home in Cookstown is bright, airy, clean, good food, and staff are very professional. They make their job look easy (which it's not) therefore creating a very related atmosphere. My mother is very well cared for.

When I walk through the door of Weavers House it is such a different experience to any other care home I have been in. It smells good, fresh and clean (no urine smell). There is music playing in the background, all the residents are given the best possible care and attention. Residents are encouraged
to join in activities daily. My brother and I attended the Easter party where there was music, making of Easter bonnets and a raffle. Food and refreshments were also general. The staff are all very caring, attentive, polite and are good listeners to all residents needs on floor two. Especially two members of staff who are exceptional in all aspects.

My wife is extremely lucky to have been placed in Weavers. The care and attention she receives is second to none. All of the staff are very attentive, patient, understanding in their day to day work.
They provide a professional service in a very friendly, open and transparent way. They have time to
listen (in their busy standard). Any queries regarding clothing/health/continence are fully addressed. Their communication skills are very good. It is a very busy unit, but the atmosphere is very relaxed.

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.
