My dad came into Windsor Street as he was to thriving at home. He was here to be assessed initially, he would not interact. Six weeks later, he is eating, drinking, and interacting with residents and staff. He has felt safe and been extremely well looked after throughout his time. All the staff are
amazing, respectful to my dad. I can't thank them enough.

Dad arrived from hospital following a nasty fall. His mobility and mental capacity had been badly affected. His admission was sympathetic and all the staff have been extremely understanding and caring. He has received help to improve his mobility and cognitive skills. The room is always clean and tidy,
and his clothes are changed as often as required. Very impressed with everything.

Mum stayed with you at Windsor Street for a month and kept telling me that everyone is lovely! (carers) Some of the residents were a bit trying... but she will be going home for a trial period.
I have found the staff to be brilliant! Very helpful and talkative when greeted and give good information
on mums daily progress and activities.

My father moved in to Windsor Street Care Centre with my stepmother in 2020, which was a difficult time for everyone but from the first day the staff took time and trouble to help them settle. Dad had Alzheimer's and received really outstanding care throughout his illness. He used to say it was like
staying in a hotel but with people there all the time to look after him.
I also saw my step mums health and wellbeing improve as the staff helped her so sensitively to let go of the need to care for Dad herself.
Perhaps most importantly the end of Dad's journey was also a very special time. The staff worked hard to make sure he was well cared for right up to the end and the communication with the rest of the family was sensitive and timely. He was content to the end and had a peaceful passing.
We had his wake at Windsor Street too, which was another very special occasion for all of us, with very personal support from the whole team at Windsor St.
Thanks to everyone for all of this.

Reply from Rowen Campbell, on behalf of the team at Windsor Street Care Centre

We are all so sorry for your loss. It was a privilege to be able to care for your father, and your stepmother, and it was an honour to have his wake here too. We really appreciate you taking the time to write us a review and sharing your experiences, and kind words, of Windsor Street. Please don't hesitate to ask if there is ever anything more we can do to support your family.

My 94-year-old Mum moved into Hampton in 2023 and from the very first day to the present, the staff have made Mum feel so welcome and loved - I live in Sydney and this is my 2nd visit - and the entire time I've been here I've only seen 100% dedication and care from the staff. They are like family -
professional, thorough and loving. When I leave to return to Australia my heart is full - Mum has improved in her health with being stimulated with activities and interacting with carers and residents. Thank you so much.

A first-class home that cares for its residents, has been consistent in its care for the past two years, nursing our loved one through Covid twice and bringing them back to good health. Couldn't ask for more.

What a lovely review, we are so grateful. It's an absolute pleasure caring for your loved one. We like to think we are a first-class home and do everything we can to make sure this is the case. For you to say that, means the world. Thanks so much!

When I came here I was very unwell. I went in the wheelchair because the lift was broken so I couldn't use the stretcher from the ambulance. I've been in bed for a month. I spent one day in bed and then I recovered. Now I feel much better. I am able to join in the dining room for lunch and join in activities,
especially in arts as it is important to me.

Just here for a month. Very impressed, especially by the staff, who were welcoming, anxious to see that all was well and would go out of their way to be of assistance. A memorable experience. Rooms satisfactory, food fine enough, perhaps becoming a little boring - no fresh fish? But will only come back
if I win the lottery!

The nicest most friendly care home I've visited. All the staff are extremely efficient and kind. Nothing is for show as I visit at different times and on different days. Residents are very well cared for and where possible, every effort is made to keep them stimulated and happy. There are plenty of
events to celebrate the seasons of the year. The food is great too!

Reply from Helen Dearing, On behalf of the team at Windsor Street Care Centre

Wow, that's quite a bold statement and one we absolutely love! We think our home is the most friendliest too. Thank you for your kind words, our staff will be over the moon to read your review.

I can't thank the staff enough for the care and support that they gave my nan, nothing was too much trouble. All the staff on Balmoral were amazing but three nurses in particular went out of their way to make me feel at ease and kept me updated on her progress.

We were nervous about our relative entering a care facility as it was unknown to us and there was the need for palliative care. We were soon put at ease by management and staff. Over the time we spent there, we witnessed the staff go above and beyond for all their residents and the level of care and
friendliness was amazing. Thank you to all.

This is the second care home my dad has been in. After the move, it took time for him to fully settle but now 3 and a half months later, he is well at home there. The staff are truly wonderful with him. We have had issues as he's 88 with Alzheimer's, but I have worked with them and have ironed them
out. Amendable caring staff, my dad is happy in his own little world there. Management are superb.

A welcoming smile from the care centre receptionist, put one at ease. Staff treat the residents with the utmost care and respect, attending dutifully and affectionately to residents' needs. Another strength is the activities team, devoted to involving all residents who want to participate irrespective

My mum was moved here for assessment. She has been treated with the utmost patience and respect since being there, as have I, by carers and management. I have seen Mum every day since her accident in February, not wanting to leave her, however, I had my first day out yesterday without visiting her as
I knew she was being looked after and don’t get as upset when I leave her.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.706)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.706) out of 10 for Windsor Street Care Centre 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.706 for Windsor Street Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (207 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 252 Ratings = 4.706

  • 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 Windsor Street Care Centre is based on 21 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 81 registered maximum number of service users is 16.2, which has been reached with 21 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.
