My mother was at Springfields for end-of-life care. She was looked after so well right up to the day she passed away. The staff were amazing looking after her every need. They also treated the family so well and welcomed us in at any time. The accommodation is very inviting and kept immaculate. I would
recommend this care home to anyone.

Care, compassion and real love are given by the team to my mother.
They involved her in their conversations, and she felt part of their lives when bedbound.
Activities were available.
Beautiful gardens.

Over time, my family have had three residents at Springfields, all of whom have benefited hugely from the kindness and care of all the staff. It's seemed the staff really do care, often going over and beyond.
Certainly, our experience has been our relatives are treated as their own, with feeling and
sympathy; as people, not entities.
The buildings are clean and homely, the garden and surroundings are wonderful, and the food has always seemed comforting and tasty.
The management has always been attentive and responded quickly and positively.
Clearly, care home fees seem high, but Springfields seems to be fair by comparison, for great value, measured by the quality of lives our relatives have had.
We've seen many care homes over the years, and Springfields is bar far the best. If I or my husband needed care, we'd have no reservation about staying there.

My mother spent her last year at the home. The staff were always kind, caring and cheerful and had time to chat when she was too frail to leave her room. There is a homely rather than a clinical atmosphere enhanced by the lovely gardens.

The care my mother received during her stay at Springfield was outstanding. Whilst her stay was always going to be temporary she was treated with great dignity, care and sensitivity by all the exceptional staff. She was nurtured and felt safe with no time pressure to leave until she felt ready to return
home allowing her to make a good recovery and regain her strength and confidence. My experie3nce organising her stay was also excellent and very efficient. As a family, we felt she was in very safe hands and we were always welcomed warmly when visiting.

I fractured my pelvis in two places on the 9th November and after 3 days in hospital, my daughter secured a room for me at Springfields Residential Home on the 13th November. The staff were so welcoming and kind to me and I felt safe and comfortable immediately. I had a lovely light and very well equipped
room and bathroom with a special bed. It was total joy to be nursed with great dignity by 10 wonderful staff both day and night.

Excellent treatment, very kind and caring. Nothing was too much trouble and always a smile on their face. It was like being looked after in a lovely hotel with a great atmosphere.

My mother spent three and a half years living in Springfields. We were impressed from the beginning with the care given to her and the support for us.
Attention was always paid to her appearance and comfort as well as her physical health.
This year she had gradually deteriorated and died on 25th October.
During that time she was given such love and care by the care team so she was able to die with dignity and comfort in her own home. We were so well supported. Springfield is excellent.

Springfields home is a very homely home and set in the most beautiful grounds of absolute tranquillity, my mother in law is very happy and feels very well cared for by the staff.
When you visit the home the staff always make you feel welcome and offer refreshments, they have regular events that family
are invited to.

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.313)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.313) out of 10 for Springfields Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.3 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Springfields Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (10 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 10 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.313 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Springfields Residential Home is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 16 registered maximum number of service users is 3.2. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 3.2 = 0.313

  • 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.
