Caddington Grove is a beautiful care home, with lovely décor and layout. We were particularly impressed by the quality of the rooms and furnishings and absolutely loved the cinema room. We had a wonderful host during our initial tour and she has been so helpful and supportive since we met her.


During

his stay, my father was settled, comfortable and relaxed which gave us all a huge sense of relief and allowed our mum to properly relax, as we knew he was in good hands. We have another week booked for my dad in March, which will allow our mum to have another good rest, and my dad to get spoilt rotten. All of the staff were amazing and couldn't have done more. They are kind, courteous, attentive and have a great sense of humour, as well as meeting the individual needs of all of the residents.


It was also really kind of Caddington Grove to invite us to the various events (Xmas Event and Spanish Day), that they have going on, and makes us feel part of this very special family.

I recommend this place to anyone with problems because it would make their lives easier and more comfortable. I've felt supported and more confident in the time I have been here. Being able to bring my dog with me was a blessing to me too.

The difference between Caddington Grove and other care homes we considered is obvious from the moment you walk through the door. After the first impression, every other aspect of the service provided reinforces the positive and caring attitude of all the staff and that is visible in the contentment
of the residents we met and have got to know since mum became a resident. I could not have hoped for a better home to entrust with the care of my mum.

Caddington Grove is a beautifully furnished, attractive care home which is doing all it can to fulfil its goal of providing home from home care for its residents.
The staff are friendly, engaging constantly in a kind, supportive manner with the residents, and very welcoming to visitors.

I am from a local church and volunteer regularly at the home. The standards at this home are very high. Everything from cleanliness and decor to food and drink is at an excellent quality. I have been particularly impressed with the personalised care and attention they give to each resident. If I knew
someone looking for a care home I would not hesitate to recommend Caddington Grove.

It has been a great relief to find Caddington Grove for Mum. She has only been a resident for just over one week but the level of care and general ethos of the home during this time has been exceptional. All of the team members have been welcoming and cannot do enough for Mum and indeed visitors alike.
Based
on our experience thus far I would have no hesitation in recommending Caddington Grove to other potential residents and their families.

After visiting this care home several times, it is considered to be one of the best in the county. The general ambience of the building, supported by friendly and warm staff ensure the care of residents in beyond reproach.

My father spent his last few weeks of life at Caddington Grove. The staff were lovely and I feel he got the best possible care. They also looked after the rest of the family at such a difficult time. I chatted to a few of the residents as there are lovely lounges to spend time in and they all seemed
very happy chatting to staff as friends. Thank you so much for making his last few weeks as comfortable as possible.

My mum has been living with me and I really wanted to be able to continue looking after her for the rest of her life. Unfortunately, it became clear that this wouldn't be possible. I always said that mum wouldn't go into care but I can honestly say that Caddington Grove has changed my mind. I know
that if I can't care for mum, she is in the best possible place to receive the best care, attention and genuine affection that she needs and deserves.


When I go to see mum, I see smiling faces all around, both from mum and from staff.
I can see that mum is happy there and that gives me and my family great peace of mind.

The staff and management at Caddington Grove have been very helpful and supportive in the initial process of deciding whether this was the home for Mum. Every stage of the process was explained and clarified clearly and succinctly, leaving my brothers and sisters in no doubt that this is where Mum needs
to be to receive the kind of care we all want for her.


The staff have clearly been well-trained and deal with both mum and the family in a kind and "loving" way. They know what they have to do to uphold the ethos of the home which is unique in many ways. Its the best establishment we reviewed, before making a final decision.


If anyone is in the situation that my family has been in, having to make one of the toughest decisions of our lives, worry not, Caddington Grove is what an elderly Care Home should be and what we would all want for our precious mum. There will be emotional hiccups but it lives up to - and beyond - our best expectations.

It's like being in a five-star hotel. The rooms are very nice. The food is very nice. There is a nice friendly atmosphere, a very homely environment, and all the staff have made me feel very welcome. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff.


As and when I need permanent care, this home would be

my first choice.

The staff have been lovely, the home is very pleasant and lovely. It's comfortable and beautiful. I have enjoyed walking around the gardens and sitting in the sunshine. The freedom to be able to have a wander around the home and still have access to my own interests and hobbies is very important to
me. I have made good friends during my time in the home and I will be back to visit.

I suffer from Parkinson's and the accommodation is adequate for my needs. My wife has had a well-earned break after surgery.
We have seen a few care homes in the area and none of them compares to this one.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.816)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.816) out of 10 for Caddington Grove Care Home 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.816 for Caddington Grove Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (178 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 212 Ratings = 4.816

  • 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 Caddington Grove Care Home is based on 18 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 18 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.
