I felt that I needed to share the expertise and care of this care home.
I am sure that if you are thinking of placing your loved one into short-term or long-term care then your anxieties would be raised. I remember all the fears and guilt I felt when I was looking for a care home for my mother.
My
mother is my life and her happiness is priceless. She raised 6 children and faced many adversities in her life and for me to allow others with my mother was extremely hard for me. I eventually found Alder House, the management is excellent the carers are amazing, the food is excellent and the cleanliness is amazing. The entertainment staff all go that extra mile. The home has become part of my family, they not only support and care for my mother but they are all there for me and my family.
If you want the best for your loved one then trust me you will not find better than Alder House. Please visit and I promise you, you will not be disappointed. I would live here if needed.

Looking for somewhere that gives that extra care for my father. Manager could not have been more supportive. Did not feel rushed gave me support as well as my father. I have been to a number of residential sites and this was by far the most welcoming open-door policy. Looked around and spoke to some
residents randomly and all looked happy appearances were excellent and were being social. Well done to the manager and team.

My lovely sister is in Alder House, her care is outstanding, honestly, I was overwhelmed. I was so worried before but at last, I can relax. I go every day to see her with no restrictions at all, such a relaxed atmosphere. The staff are amazing and so welcoming and friendly, nothing is too much trouble.
There's a facility to stay if required too. Very highly recommended.

From the minute my mother-in-law arrived at Alder House Care Home, we knew she was in safe hands.
The staff are absolutely lovely and go above and beyond to make sure the residents are looked after and given exceptional care.
The home is beautiful, very clean and always feels welcoming.
The food
always looks delicious and it's one of the many things my mother-in-law always compliments.
There are lots of activities throughout the day and it's lovely to see the residents playing games of scrabble and dominoes.
A brilliant home, I can't speak highly enough about it.

My mum was offered Alder House Care Home as a respite for my family as her health has declined quite significantly due to a brain tumour. We have been absolutely blessed to have this opportunity. As well as the home being 2 minutes away from us, there are no issues with parking, there are no restrictions
on visiting hours or how many visitors at a time, and we can take our dogs to visit. The room is spacious, comfortable and clean. My mum has 24-hour support from the team, and they are all our heroes. Nothing is too big or too much, they are always happy to help, they are all amazing from the care team to the maintenance and the cleaners. There are so many endless benefits, even the food is fantastic. My mum has managed to gain 5kg within 3 weeks. I could never thank the team enough for their help and support, we are so very grateful.

My mother is currently in Alder House due to needing care because of brain cancer. The care and facilities are fantastic in all aspects. My mum always said she didn't like the thought of being in a care home but she cannot fault anything at all. Staff are all so nice and her room is lovely clean and
homely.
We cannot thank everyone enough for the care and kindness they have shown us all.

From the moment Mum arrived, she felt safe in the hands of the team here at Alder House. Every time I visit, all staff are happy, cheerful and attentive to every need. They all regularly come in to check Mum is okay and that nothing is too much trouble if something is required.
My only negative comment
is that laundry is a bit hit-and-miss! Maybe a little more attention to the labels and room numbers/names wouldn't go a miss. Otherwise excellent service and support all around.

Reply from Gemma Wallbanks, Manager at Alder House Care Home - Avery Healthcare

Dear Helen,
Your review and feedback is really valuable to us and thank you for taking the time to write such lovely comments about the home and the services your mother has received so far. We will review our laundry labelling in the home and make adjustments to our processes to improve the laundering service that we provide to residents. Thank you again for such a lovely review.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.883)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.883) out of 10 for Alder House Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.883 for Alder House Care Home - Avery Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (340 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 377 Ratings = 4.883

  • 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 Alder House Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on 32 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 32 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.
