Broomhills has an idyllic rural location looking over the river estuary, which can be viewed from the conservatory. A peaceful setting for a nice cup of tea and a chat with families or friends. Broomhills boasts of 3 large gardens, one with a patio, so there is always a nice area to walk or sit and relax.

Broomhills is a delightful older style building full of character, homely and comfortable. Although rooms are furnished items can be brought in to ensure you are as relaxed as possible. There are always activities for you to join in if you wish, it is your choice.

There are country and river views from all aspects of the building.

Due to the rural setting there are lots of opportunities to see wildlife and for bird watchers.

Broomhills sits back from the main roads, so there is a peaceful and tranquil feel.

My aunt has come into Broomhills from a warden controlled flat. She is bed-bound due to multiple sclerosis and the transition in moving her was excellent. She has settled in nicely at Broomhills and is enjoying the food and has also commented that the staff are very attentive and friendly. All in all,
we are very satisfied and hope the level of care continues.

Up to November last year both my parents were residents at broom hills, the care my mum received after her passing was extremely exceptional. She was thought of as everyone's family member. My dad is now alone, but i never feel he is ignored he is taken out and always treated with dignity respect and
affection. Brim hills is his family and i can see he feels safe and cared for 24/7. Thank you.

The manager is very passionate about her job and her team are amazing. The staff go beyond the call of duty to care for their residents.
I would highly recommend Broomhills Care Home.
The home is clean and maintained very well, the gardens are colourful.
My father loved seeing the resident cat
and other pets that came to visit.

Dad has been cared for at Broomhills for 14 months, in that time he has been treated with the upmost care and dignity.

My grandmother became a resident in December 2022. She came in from a hospital stay and was struggling to walk. She was eating poorly and was withdrawn. In the time she has been here, she has transformed in lots of ways. She attends knitting club, has her hair done, has started walking again and has
gained weight. We are very pleased with the care she's received.

So grateful to Bloomhills for enabling regular safe visits to visit my mum during these very challenging times. I will be forever grateful for the care they deliver with such kindness and compassion. Thank you for everything you do.
Having not been in the building for the last 11 months I have no reason
to question their previous standards.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.880)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.880) out of 10 for Broomhills 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 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.880 for Broomhills is calculated as follows: ( (320 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 359 Ratings = 4.88

  • 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 Broomhills is based on 30 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 47 registered maximum number of service users is 9.4, which has been reached with 30 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.
