We have nothing but praise for Blair Park and the care Mum has received since moving to the home in May 2024. We were expecting the transition to be very fraught with a lot of resistance on her behalf but she was eagerly welcomed and settled very quickly.
She enjoys the numerous activities that take
place and loves all the staff who are always compassionate towards the residents and are always happy to speak with residents relatives about activities that they have taken part in
Senior members of staff are always happy to speak with you about any concerns and appropriate actions are quickly instigated
I would certainly recommend Blair Park

My experience of Blair Park Care Home has been second to none. Since my father moved into Blair Park in March 2024, I have been very impressed with all aspects of the care he has received. The staff always go above and beyond to ensure that his needs are met and he is really happy there. His accommodation
is tastefully decorated, modern, bright and homely; it is always immaculate and spotlessly clean which is down to housekeeping. Everyone is always so friendly and welcoming when I visit and staff really care about the residents, who are always treated with dignity. Staff, including the management, team are very approachable and their door is always open to speak to me if needed. The activity team are always seeking out new activities for the residents to partake in and there are daily activities that everyone can join in with, if they wish. Blair Park is an amazing place and I would have no hesitation in recommending it to others.

The care at Blair Park Care Home is great, all the staff are friendly and helpful and the manager is approachable should I have any questions about my mother's care. The furniture and room are modern and her room is always well cleaned and tidy. There is a fantastic patio area for people to go outside
and the food is varied and of a good standard.

Our experience with the team at Blair Park has been very professional, empathetic and efficient towards the care that my Mother has received whilst being a resident since June 2023. I feel relaxed regarding her safety and security. The team really care about the welfare of the residents. There is a
good routine for meal times and the food that is served seems to be to her liking. Her room is decorated well and comfortable. The car parking has just been improved, which has made it easier when I visit my mother. The activities that she does get involved in she enjoys e.g. the sponsored walk last September. I would recommend Blair Park Care Home to provide a service to any other relatives without hesitation.

Mum has been at Blair Park Care Home for over three years now. Throughout the whole period of Mum's stay, her care has been excellent. They understand her little quirks and roll with them, whilst still ensuring that she is safe and happy.
During Mum's time here there have been substantial improvements
to the fabric of the home. There are activities during the day and everyone is encouraged to join in. We are able to visit or take her out whenever we wish without prior arrangement. Food is very good, there are choices for the main meals. Drinks, both hot and cold, are plentiful and fluid intake levels are carefully monitored.
I like the regular family meetings which are held so that we know the next big thing planned at Blair Park and also, who the key staff are. I had concerns when Mum first moved in but there was always someone to speak to and reassure me. This reassurance continues as her dementia progresses. Thank you to everyone there.

What can we say about this care home, little gem in Milton Regis? My mother-in-law had only been in there since 1at September 2023 and the staff cared and looked after her fantastically in the short time that she was there, they went above and beyond with every part of her day by day care. Always plenty
of activities and events for patients and staff. Not once did she complain about moving in, they made her feel as if she was part of a family.

Mum has been at the home now for more than four years. Staff have always been considerate and helpful, with Mum's care at the forefront.
A special mention to the events team who go above and beyond to make the residents inclusive.
Mum enjoys the food, which is always of a very high standard.
Mum's
room is one of the last to be renovated, even so, it is always tidy and clean.
Thank you to all the team.

My mum has been at Blair Park since October 2022 and the staff have always been helpful and supportive. As Mum's needs have changed, staff have adapted their care and ensured that she is happy, well fed and personal care met. The management team are always available for a chat to check on how she is
doing and are approachable and ready to listen.
The meals provided for her are varied, plentiful and she has a choice at all meal times, she is also provided with snacks and drinks throughout the day and a well-needed ice cream or lolly during the hot weather. Her room is always clean and her clothes are washed daily.
The entertainment staff provide activities daily and she is always encouraged to join in. Local entertainers visit and birthday celebrations are promoted. Trips out planned for different residents, this month 7 residents went to a local farm which was very well planned and last Saturday they held a Dementia walk and many residents were enabled to join in with the help of staff.

All my concerns about my mum going to live in a care home disappeared when she moved into Blair Park last year. Mum settled in very well. The room she was in was clean, bright and with all her personal things around her, looked lovely.
The management and all the staff are wonderful, warm and friendly.
They are always happy to chat at any time about Mum. They all work really hard to meet the needs of all the residents. I visit most days and the residents are always content and the staff always greet me with a smile and a cup of tea.
The residents can join in with a large range of fun activities and outings organised by the entertainment coordinators.
The kitchen staff provide delicious homemade meals. Also tea, coffee and treats throughout the day. Everybody is catered for.
The cleaning and laundry staff work very hard to maintain a very high standard at all times.
I cannot praise Blair Park enough and would highly recommend it as a happy, secure place for your loved one.

I cannot put into words just how much love and admiration I have for the lovely staff at Blair Park Care Home. My mum spent the last four years of her life at the home, a decision that we now know was the best one we could have made. She was so happy there and they became a second family to her which,
for me, was so comforting as I live some distance away. Her last few months were challenging and despite the continuous support and care they gave to Mum, she ended her days there peacefully, not alone but with someone with her all the time, something I will forever be grateful for as I could not get there in time. Thank you all.

My mother has been at Blair Park for just over a year now, and from the very start, the staff have been amazingly caring and attentive to her with the care they provide. There is a good selection of food at meal times, and the staff always provide cups of tea etc, throughout the day. The activity coordinator
does a good job of putting on events and arranging games for everyone to take part in.

I have found the staff at Blair Park Care Home to be very committed and go above and beyond in delivering good care to my dad. I can ask the staff or home manager any question or request and nothing is too much bother. They have shown my dad much compassion during his time there and can't fault them
for the work they do. There is a lovely outdoor courtyard area for residents to go out into and activities are provided with family and friends welcomed to join in or watch the entertainment.

I can’t thank the staff enough at Blair Park Care Home for the care they show and give to my Mum. My Mum has always been treated with respect and dignity, I couldn’t ask for more. I am updated regularly on how she is doing and should I have any questions there is always someone there to help. My Mum

The staff have looked after my mum very well during her time at Blair Park. They are all very committed and have a good understanding of dementia. The food is always good, and there is a nice outdoor area which Mum enjoys. I get regular updates on how she is doing, which gives me great peace of mind,
and when I visit, it is obvious just by looking at her that she is being well looked after.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.902)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.902) out of 10 for Blair Park Care Home 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 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 4.902 for Blair Park Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (119 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.902

  • 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 Blair Park Care Home 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, 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.
