Thank you for taking the time to write your review – we were very happy to hear your kind comments about the excellent facilities and quality of care for residents at Anning House. I would like to reassure you, as we were a little surprised by your concerns and wanted to set your mind at rest, that we definitely do not have any staffing shortages, and also we do not employ agency workers for assisted living either. We always ensure we have enough team members throughout the home to keep all residents safe, happy, and well cared for, seven days a week, 24 hours a day. We also keep the same colleagues, where possible, on the same floor so that there is always continuity of care and so residents are familiar with the team and can build relationships. Thank you again for your feedback, and best of wishes to you and your mother.

Gracewell of Weymouth appreciate moving into a care home can be an unsettling time. This is why we take the time to engage with family members and friends of the resident to make the process as smooth as possible, to get to know the resident on a personal level. We are pleased your father has settled in well.

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.736) out of 10 for Anning 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.736 for Anning House is calculated as follows: ( (157 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 197 Ratings = 4.736
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 Anning House is based on 16 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14, which has been reached with 16 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.

Job Title: General Manager
Joined: 2023
I hold my Level 5 qualification in Leadership and Management, a diploma in adult nursing, and mentoring qualifications.
I decided to join Anning House because I wanted to be part of a well-respected larger company that was part of the wider community where I live.
As a General Manager, it’s important that I have empathy, and am able to listen and lead by example. I always want to be a good role model and empower my team and others, treating everyone with respect. I went into nursing to make a difference; this can be a big impact or just the little things that make a difference in someone’s life. I’m still incredibly proud and happy to be able to continue to do this in my career every day.
Although I have a busy role at work, I like to keep busy outside of work too - I love supporting my husband when he’s playing in his band, going to nice restaurants to eat, entertaining family and friends at home, and going to the theatre, especially to see musicals.
