Our Resident Satisfaction Survey Results 2022

Four Seasons Health Care Group conduct regular satisfaction surveys to provide vital feedback on how we are performing in all our care homes.

Our most recent survey was conducted during October 2022 with over 4,000 responses. Respondents were asked a number of questions spanning key elements of care home life including the standard of care, the team, food and dining, activities programme and home cleanliness.

2022 saw COVID restrictions in care homes being lifted with residents being able to participate in more outings and enjoy increased interaction with their local community. Entertainers could perform inside again and visitors were no longer required to test before entering the homes.

Feedback from residents and relatives of both Four Seasons and brighterkind care homes resulted in 93% of residents saying that they were happy living at our homes. A Resident Satisfaction Index of 78% which is higher than the latest UK Customer Satisfaction Index (UKCSI) figure of 77.7%, published on 24th January by The Institute of Customer Service.

Here is a short video that explains our Customer Satisfaction Survey:

Some of our residents’ highest scores were recorded in categories related to the care provided, the relationship they have with team members and our innovative Magic Moments Activity Programme which provides a wide variety of activities to promote well-being and benefit the mind, body and soul.

98% of residents said team members are friendly and approachable and responsive to matters that concern them. 97% of residents said they are treated with kindness, dignity and respect and 93% of residents said they are happy living at their care home.
