On the whole my relative was cared for. At times elements of care were sadly lacking depending on various factors affecting the home that day e.g. staffing, other residents, events on that day. I would have liked my relatives spiritual needs to be considered more. I often felt, particularly at weekends
the ratio of staff to residents was insufficient, making it a different atmosphere. The staff intentions were well meaning. My relative had there respect form wishes met at times of infection. I was consulted in regarding upholding their respect wishes. On the whole the staff understood how to manage dementia & altzheimer residents. Support for the relatives is something that should be considered by a specialist nurse. The home becomes the constant for your relative but having someone to talk to, to understand the emotions you go through when visiting is vital. The longer they are in care the more you go through, to cope with each visit.

My husband died recently at The Wharf Nursing Home. He had only been there a short time. For many months previously I had been, desperately, trying to get Social Services to accept that he needed nursing care. When he arrived at The Wharf he was enveloped with love and care. His food was good quality
and adjusted to his needs, likes, and ability to eat. His room was adjusted for his safety and enjoyment and those of his visitors. The carers were kind and understanding of his condition. Sadly his dementia, suffered for many years, had finally taken its toll. We were supported in my husband's final few days by the staff. He died surrounded by care and kindness. Thank goodness we had managed to move him to 'The Wharf '. Thank you to all of the wonderful, professional, loving staff.

All the staff at The Wharf gave my father great care, time and understanding. He enjoyed the conversations and the personal time shared. I could not praise the staff more. The great effort everyone put in from his arrival and settling, all through to his passing. The Wharf have a great team and the
family would love to thank every one of them.

My husband recently had a short stay at The Wharf. He felt very much at home and settled in really well. All staff, without exception, treated him with kindness, dignity and respect. He received his many medications on time and felt very confident calling assistance when needed. The staff were always
attentive and welcoming when people visited. My husband enjoyed the freedom of being able to move around as much as he wanted, as well as the lovely food. The garden was easily accessible and provided a nice, safe, sunny space to meet visitors or other residents. He is looking forward to spending further time at The Wharf in the future.

Myself and my friend joined my mum to celebrate the VE celebrations at The Wharf. It was so lovely to be outside and listen to the singer and enjoy some food. The staff were amazing and made everyone welcome. The hospitality manager is a fantastic contribution to the home and organised it. It was great
to see residents and staff enjoy and I feel a massive boost to morale.

I was extremely worried when it came to the stage when my dad needed 24-hour care and where he could end up. I viewed The Wharf for a very brief visit, then my dad moved there the same day. The staff are all amazing. What makes a great place is the people. My dad only after a few days seems very content
and happy. I would not hesitate to recommend it. It has a great feel at The Wharf.

My uncle was 91 years old when he was admitted into The Wharf Care Home in Stourport in April 2020. He was suffering with dementia and had restricted mobility. His stay, until he recently passed away, was 46 months as good as it could be. If I could score The Wharf more than 10/10 I certainly would
as the quality of care provided was exceptional.

Although my mother was only at The Warf for four weeks. The staff were absolutely marvelous. Everyone couldn't do enough for us and the family. Everything they said they would do they did even down to the maintenance team to put pictures on the wall. You would not find a better place for a member of

My mother spent nearly two weeks at The Wharf, including Xmas, which at 90 years of age was her first ever experience of staying in a care facility. Whilst being very reluctant her first encounter with the staff very soon changed this and she settled in quickly due to the happy atmosphere that prevailed.
Her
medication requirements were diligently administered and all her daily needs, notably the food and drink, were all of an excellent standard. Xmas was an enjoyment shared with everyone and not a lonely time in front of the T.V with failing eyesight. Whilst she was happy to leave and return to her own home, it is an experience that she shares with her carers that she has at home each day and now demands the same high levels she experienced at The Wharf. I suspect they are looking forward to her next stay so they get a break! Thank you to all keep up the good work.

Mom has been at The Wharf for four weeks now. She seems settled and comfortable. The staff are all really friendly and helpful. Mom is in a wheelchair but still enjoys being in the garden in the afternoon, especially if there are ice cream treats or banana milkshakes on offer! There is always plenty
of activities and entertainment. If you are able to eat normally the food looks very good with cakes and desserts etc, unfortunately, Mom is on purée food so can’t enjoy the normal menu.

These comments are made partly in comparison to another care home where another family member, brother, was a resident. I have been pleasantly impressed by the care and support given to my wife following a major stroke. The carers, of all ages, are flexible in their work with someone who doesn't want
to be there and who suffers from mood swings. I can't imagine that she could be anywhere better in her mental condition.

My mother has had a very difficult year in step-down care after a fall. When we realised that she would not be returning home, we started looking into care homes near where we live. From our very first visit, it was obvious that The Wharf Care Home was where we wanted my mother to be, we were so impressed
with everything we saw. She moved into The Wharf Care Home just before Christmas 2022 and from the moment she arrived, it was like she was welcomed into a warm and caring family. The quality of the residence, staff, food and the general feel of the place is amazing. Mum is now settling in well and the kindness and attentiveness of the care staff seem to be helping her be more positive about the future after such a traumatic year.
Thank you to all at The Wharf Care Home for welcoming us into your extended family.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.713)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.713) out of 10 for The Wharf Care Home 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 17 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 4.713 for The Wharf Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (166 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 202 Ratings = 4.713

  • 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 The Wharf Care Home is based on 17 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 67 registered maximum number of service users is 13.4, which has been reached with 17 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.
