A newly constructed lounge opens out onto the landscaped and dementia friendly garden. In addition to a newly fitted kitchen and dining room the home now houses a beauty salon/well-being room.

All bedrooms have been modernised and refurbished. They are dementia friendly to help maintain resident’s independence, dignity, respect and choice. They are decorated to a very high standard and kept to a high standard of cleanliness. All rooms are fitted with a nurse call system, en-suite (toilet and hand basin) or hand basin, TV point, lockable cabinet, dementia friendly cupboard, comfortable chair and a standard bed. All residents are encouraged to personalise their rooms with their home comforts.

Activities are provided throughout the day on an individual basis by experienced staff to enable those with dementia to live well. External companies visit the home to provide group activities such as Bingo, Music and dance. Events and themed days are also organised throughout the year at Buttercup House. Events include a special performance from the pantomime theatre company, supporting The Alzheimer’s Society Cupcake Day, Dignity Day and many more.

My mum was a resident at Buttercups from Dec 2019 till her passing in January 2021, She was extremely well cared for and loved the whole time she was there. The owners and all staff went over and above with their care for her. She was extremely happy there. I couldn't have asked for more.

I would like to express my appreciation that you have been keeping the family safe from COVID-19, keeping us informed by videos showing how happy and well residents are and as soon as we could letting us visit keeping to the regulations. When we ring staff are always helpful about giving me the information
asked for.

The care my Brother-in-law received was of the highest order, everything was done in a professional and efficient manner but the staff went far beyond this standard they created a place where he felt totally at home and peaceful. The staff laughed and in the end cried with him, they could not do enough
to make his stay with them a happy time. He was not the easiest person to deal with but all the staff managed to make him feel comfortable and safe. I saw a new person come to life under their care They can be very proud of the work they do its not just a job but a true vocation. Well done this home is a jewel.

Buttercup House Care Home - the staff are great, they are caring, supportive, friendly, helpful and will assist in any way. My Dad has been a resident at Buttercup House for nearly a year, the care, respect, given to him by the staff, management team and owners has been fantastic. As a family member,
we are invited and included in all the home's celebrations, whether it be, Xmas Party, Bar-B-Q, Fete or just our dinner/tea there. You are always welcomed. After all, this is now my dad's home. Thank you.

Feels like a family home, not an institution. Carers are responsive to the needs of all residents and family members. I have full confidence in the care and support my father receives at all times. He enjoys the light, bright well decorated and furnished lounge.

The outlook is absolutely fine when approaching the home. There is definitely no smell, the staff are very welcoming when we visit. My daughter is very happy there and the food and care are excellent.
The place is clean and tidy.
We don't worry about her as we know that she is well looked after.

I had an issue due to the last manager but since the meeting with the owners, I am more than happy to have my family stay here.
The new manager has improved the home in every way possible.

All staff are extremely kind and helpful, especially the manager who keeps me well informed by emails and phone. The bedroom is very basic with no view but my cousin stays downstairs in the lounge most of the day. The food is good and my cousin is now eating better and looking healthier. The manager
has said a better room will be available when she can be moved.

Reply from Naval Nagpal, Owner at Buttercup House

Thank you for the feedback. We shall endeavour to establish how we can further improve 'facilities' and 'rooms' ratings. Buttercup has only recently been completely redeveloped into a Dementia friendly environment home. All furniture, furnishings and flooring have been completely replaced with dementia friendly ones together with equipment and all lighting as well. This includes the internal and external environment of the home. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.719)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.719) out of 10 for Buttercup House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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 4.819 for Buttercup House is calculated as follows: ( (87 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 105 Ratings = 4.819

  • 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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Buttercup House is based on 9 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 = 3.9

    • 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 20 registered maximum number of service users is 4, which has been reached with 9 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.

CB has gone above and beyond for many years and is very dedicated to ensuring residents and staff are supported with their well-being. CB thoroughly enjoys organising activities within the home. Although CB has had a tough couple of months with their health but continued to ensure residents have activity and well-being days to look forward to. CB listens and appreciates person-centred care and provides one-to-one activities and group activities.


Armchair travelling has become one of the resident’s favourite activities-Africa was the highlight of our destinations with staff who were African natives who came to work with traditional African clothing. Residents made a stunning 3D African female silhouette with African fabric, jewellery and African hair. African staff performed a traditional African dance. It was an opportunity for all residents and staff to celebrate each other’s cultures and embrace diversity and inclusivity.
