My mother recently passed, was a resident at Blossom House Care Home for over three years. My brother and I, with our partners, regularly visited Mum in the care home. We were always impressed with the quality of care she received from the excellent staff at Blossom House. The cleanliness and care are
always of a very high standard which we are pleased to recommend to anyone considering a place in a care environment.

Reply from Lynn McGregor, Director at Blossom House

Firstly, we are so very sorry for the loss of your mother who will be sadly missed at Blossom House. We would like to thank you so much for your kind words which our team will be very grateful for. Best wishes.

Blossom House is filled with kind and caring staff who take the time to ensure their residents are cared for as you would care for them yourself. They maintain a high standard and despite her physical and mental problems my mother has come to regard them as family. I can thoroughly recommend this lovely
home.

I cannot speak highly enough of Blossom House care home. My husband was looked after as though he was a member of their own family. He was definitely happy there.
But not only did they care for him so well , they cared for me his wife, always. His Daughter and Granddaughter felt the same way, while
we sat by his bedside during the final stages of his life. They made us feel loved, cared for, and comforted.
Have told my son, to book me in this care home when the time comes.

We were all saddened by the passing of your Husband at Blossom House but would like to thank you for your kind words which we will share with our team. This will mean a lot to our staff as we try to ensure that everyone is treated as part of our family. Our Best Wishes to you and your family.

My dad came to Blossom House for respite in July 2022 and it became clear that he needed full-time care. The staff and management have been a family for my dad and I cannot fault their care and loving, respectful attention. I know that he enjoyed his time here and had fun and a fulfilled stay. When
it was clear my dad was at the end of his life, we were welcomed to stay 24/7 with open arms. Staff cared for us, hugged us, supported us, fed us and even gave us towels and toiletries to shower. Nothing was too much trouble. I have no hesitation in recommending Blossom House for anyone’s loved one, especially if they have dementia.
If you visit, what you see is absolutely what you get. The residents are happy and fulfilled, loved and cared for by amazingly dedicated staff who work over their hours and above and beyond the care they should offer. The home is cosy, joyful and full of life and character. Do not hesitate to visit and see for yourself.
Thank you to all the amazing staff.

Reply from Allan Mcgregor, Director at Blossom House

Since taking up residence in Blossom House eight months ago, my sister-in-law has been well cared for. The staff are always welcoming and treat her very fondly and she is always addressed with respect, even though she is unaware of activities around her. I travel from Bath to visit each month and the
staff are also interested in me. A very good care home, well-run.

My mother does not have dementia - I am very pleased she has a room which is in a quiet area where people do not wander into her room or scream and shout. I do think it's important that there are separate areas for dementia and non-dementia residents. Staff have always been very polite, helpful and
kind.

Thank you for your review. Blossom House caters for people living with and without dementia and whilst we try to accommodate for all levels of care we are pleased that your mother is enjoying the location of her room. We will share your kind words with our team. Best Wishes

I am writing this review after my partner, who has a brain injury, stayed at Blossom House Care Home. He was cared for well by a very caring, supportive, experienced team of people. Nothing was too much trouble and we were grateful for the time he spent there. They never failed to answer the phone whenever
we needed to talk to them or him.

Mum has been at Blossom House Care Home for more than seven years and I can relax knowing that she is happy and well cared for. The staff are amazing and seem like part of the family. In the early stages of Mum's dementia she was very hard to manage and yet they did so with care and good humour. These
days she is a quieter resident but still the staff know her and us and we always feel welcome when we go to visit.

My father-in-law sadly developed rapidly worsening Alzheimer's and we had to admit him to a home urgently. That home (not Blossom House) was not a good experience. The staff could not cope with his intermittent agitation, facilities were poor and he was not happy. We moved him to Blossom House and our
experience could not have been more different. He has a smart room, the facilities are good. He is free to wander around the garden whenever he wishes and most importantly the managers and staff have shown him great care, empathy and warmth even though at times his agitation due to his dementia has been really challenging for them.

Overall we are pleased with the care that my father receives. There have been times (on previous visits prior to COVID-19 lockdown) that Dad hasn't had his false teeth "glued in" (I have provided a denture adhesive-type product) or is not wearing his hearing aids, which can be a little upsetting but
is usually rectified fairly swiftly upon mentioning to a staff member.

The very first time I went to look round the care home I knew it was the perfect place for my godmother. Blossom House has the most outstanding staff and the level of care, compassion and patience are incredible. All the staff are so kind and nothing is too much trouble. They help my godmother and care
for all her needs despite her challenges due to her dementia. They also stay in touch constantly and will always return my calls and nothing is to much trouble. Whenever I visit the welcome you receive from all the staff is so lovely and all the residents look so content and well cared for within the home. I can not praise this care home enough. They have given my godmother somewhere she can feel safe and be well looked after during the challenges that dementia faces.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.740)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.740) out of 10 for Blossom House 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.740 for Blossom House is calculated as follows: ( (99 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.74

  • 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 Blossom House is based on 11 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 36 registered maximum number of service users is 7.2, which has been reached with 11 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.
