My mother was treated with warmth and respect by all the staff. Any medical needs or health issues were dealt with promptly and professionally. All the rooms were kept clean. She was a fussy eater but always complimentary about the meals and snacks in this care home. Staff quickly learned how she preferred
her tea and coffee. The staff were friendly to us and answered any questions fully. My mother was there for six months. During her final days, she was accompanied around the clock and I was phoned whenever there was a change in her condition.
We did not select this home, she was sent there by the hospital, but we think she was very lucky. There were sufficient staff with sufficient time to care for the residents. The staff were also very kind to me, especially towards the end.

Reply from Kevin Robinson-Husband, Group Operations Manager at Middleton Manor Care Centre

Thank you for taking the time to complete a review. It is lovely to see that your mum and yourselves were treated with dignity and respect and the support given to you and your mum during the time spent at Middleton Manor. We will pass this lovely review on to the team within the home.

Staff at the care home are very caring and approachable. They tend to all client's needs.
Clients are always well-presented and appear happy in their environment.
Food is appropriate for the clients and dietary needs are catered for.
If my mother has any extra needs or if I have concerns I can approach
carers or management and they are dealt with in a timely manner.
It is very reassuring for me to know that my mother is cared for and in good hands.

My mam has been a resident of Auguste just over a year now, this is her 3rd care home! Due to no fault of her own. We moved our mam due to lack of care all we want is for our mam cared for and how we would look after her, if that's possible! We have addressed any issues we have had and they have all
been addressed promptly. I must add that one of the staff at Auguste is amazing! I just wish all care homes had staff like her! She is our go-to person should we need anything with regards to my mam, and this carer will tell us how it exactly is! No pussyfooting around which we'd rather it was that way. The care home is clean and tidy and my mam's bedroom is always clean. The majority of the staff are accommodating and will speak upon arrival and will answer any questions asked. I believe my mam deserves to be in a care home that will do everything it can to help her with her illness and allow her to be comfortable there as if she was in her own home and Auguste does that.

Reply from Beverley Stubbs, Manager at Middleton Manor Care Centre

First of all thank you for taking the time to express your experience of Auguste, Happy that it has been a positive experience for yourself and mam.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5

My grandad was admitted to this nursing home in November, visited Xmas day, no activities, staff on their personal phones (personal phone cases visible - not pcs devices!) no music, no Xmas atmosphere, no staff spending time with residents, residents struggling to eat their Xmas chocolates. I had to
tell staff that people were hanging out of their beds. Role onto January, an altercation between my grandad and another resident, ended up with my grandfather being hit and falling to the ground breaking his hip, unfortunately passed away days later, had staff intervened when this altercation began our loved one would still be here. Now we are planning his funeral. That being said, the clinical lead is supportive, caring and has a passion to the care sector. Shame about the rest of the management team.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

A few weeks after our mother had moved in from her previous care home, my brother and I visited and were so relieved and reassured by what we found and experienced at Auguste. The home itself is bright, airy, well equipped and comfortable. The staff are amazing people, insightful and experienced professionals,
and kindly took the time to explain some of the care strategies which had already helped Mum to settle and which they expected would continue to support her needs. Being at a distance from an elderly parent is not easy but knowing she is at Auguste, which is a different calibre to the average home, gives us peace of mind that she is now in the best place for her.

Reply from Kevin Robinson-Husband, Operational Support Manager at Middleton Manor Care Centre

Thank you for this feedback, it is lovely to see that your mum and the family are happy with the care and support which has been provided, I will ensure that these positive comments are shared with the staff team.

My mam has been moved to Auguste Nursing Home from a care home
I visited today to see her with my brother.
I can only say how delighted we were with the home, staff and how settled my mam was. The staff spent time with us too explaining what was happening and what they were working on with Mam.
The
staff appeared well versed and knowledgeable in the specialism that Auguste has, and we both came away relieved and happy in the knowledge Mam was in excellent, caring hands.

My mother came to Auguste Communities Care Centre on 21/9/23, therefore, has only been in for six days. She has settled very well. All the staff are helpful, pleasant and reassuring to Mum and family. Her room has a lovely view to the front so she can see people coming and going. The gardens are pretty
and peaceful.

The nursing home's care for my husband, who battled dementia and ultimately passed, was truly exceptional. The staff's kindness and support created a compassionate environment that eased his journey. Their expertise in handling dementia-related challenges and their inclusion of our family in decision-making
were invaluable. I'm deeply grateful for the comfort and care they provided during this difficult time.

We visited an elderly friend with whom we have been friends for over 40 years. She was quite poorly so wasn't able to communicate with us. Absolutely all the staff we were involved with - reception, gardener, cleaner, and carer were so supportive, helpful and efficient. Well done team Auguste Communities

Dad was very happy with his short stay in the Auguste Communities Care Centre. Previously he has been dead against moving into a care home but he soon admitted he was glad to be there.
Staff were also very complimentary about Dad saying how he was a real gent and friendly. They impressed us whenever
we visited the home and also kept us in regular touch via telephone updates. Very impressed with their care.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.537)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.537) out of 10 for Middleton Manor Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.537 for Middleton Manor Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (158 Excellents x 5) + (50 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 227 Ratings = 4.537

  • 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 Middleton Manor Care Centre is based on 19 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 83 registered maximum number of service users is 16.6, which has been reached with 19 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.
