I've had lots of problems with this home in 2016.
But with the temporary management it has changed for the better and I feel more confident they will provide the right care for my mother.


You couldn't get better carers and nurses at Gracewell...

Mother has been in the care home with dementia since May 2014. In the first 2 months her wedding ring went missing, never took it off in over forty years!! Since then things have improved, I think this is down to support agency workers, full time carers are good and trust them. Have complained about
the toilet not being cleaned, this has improved. Seem understaffed to me. Main complaint is attitude of agency workers, different every time I visit. From £4,800 per month I expect more. Saying this mum seems happy but she has dementia!!!

A wonderful place to live, great care is taken with everything that is done for me. I am an elderly lady who is not safe to live at home alone. I am 92 years of age and I cannot express my feelings, although rather expensive it has let me be free and safe. My family live quite near and its gives them
peace of mind having found this place.

Smart and up to date building. My sister has a large room (en suite) and has been encouraged to personalise it. The staff are very friendly and loving and there is a nice range of activities. I feel that her social and emotional needs are met. Unfortunately consistency of care is poor, with too many
agency staff or staff moved from floor to floor and therefore not aware of individual needs. Staff seem poorly trained in dementia care. Good practice at management level but poor interaction and awareness from general care.

Compared to previous care homes Gracewell of Basingstoke has top marks. The facilities are excellent and the staff work very hard and show that they care. The only criticism is lack of staff sometimes but they are actively recruiting. A quiet room would be a benefit.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.758)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.758) out of 10 for Pemberley House Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.758 for Pemberley House Care Home - Avery Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (222 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 273 Ratings = 4.758

  • 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 Pemberley House Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on 22 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 72 registered maximum number of service users is 14.4, which has been reached with 22 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.
