The staff are all first-class. They are very kind to my husband and welcoming to me when I come to visit. My husband has been bedridden since June 2021, and he is always very comfortably positioned in lovely white sheets and an ample amount of pillows. He is turned regularly, and the staff check regularly
to see he is comfortable. I am so pleased I chose Springfield House Care Home because I know he is so well looked after there. And above all, I have been assured there will always be a home for him in Springkell.
The manager runs the home very efficiently and has handled the difficulties brought about by Covid 19 extremely well to give reassurance to relatives.

I have been very impressed with Springkell House care of my husband since he became a resident over 18-months ago. During the pandemic, it has been exemplary and protective. I've been frustrated only by the government's restrictions which have affected how and when I can see and take out my husband.
I so look forward to being able to take him for a drive, and I know that Springkell will enable this to happen as soon as possible. They are a caring and considerate group.

My husband has Alzheimer's Disease and has been a resident of Springkell House since February 2019. On the first visit when I was shown around it felt absolutely the right place for him to be. There is a calm, homely and caring atmosphere and the staff are cheerful and friendly. My husband settled well
and remains very content, I would have no hesitation in recommending Springkell House.

During the current COVID 19 pandemic the home has ensured their residents and staff have remained in good health. They have also promptly answered any queries I have had regarding the current situation at the home and the personal health of my mother. When we visited yesterday we were welcomed as
usual and despite the inclement weather, the staff did their very best to make this a pleasurable experience. Thank you all the staff at Springkell.

Mum has been at Springkell for 10-months now having moved across from last June. We are so fortunate to have found Springkell. From the very first day, all the staff have been welcoming and extremely helpful not only to Mum but also to us when we visit. Unfortunately, we are currently unable to visit
due to the Covid-19 outbreak, so we are dependent on video telephone calls for contact with Mum. The staff have been marvellous in setting up these calls so the Mum can maintain contact with all her family in different parts of the country.
We would not hesitate to recommend Springkell to anybody looking for a reliable, efficient and most importantly, caring, care home.

chosen a better place for him.

The staff at Springkell are incredible. They are caring, kind and professional. They treat my grandparent with dignity. It feels like he is being looked after by family. The facilities don't have all the bells and whistles or modern amenities but they are perfectly adequate. I would highly recommend
Springkell to anyone whos loved one needs full time care.

Very caring environment in which our friend, who is a resident, feels very secure and well looked after. She loves the food. I just wish the residents would get out more especially on a warm summer's day although I realise it is a question of staffing issues.

The care and attention from all the team is exemplary. They are welcoming and friendly at all times. Nothing is too much trouble to make family and friends visits a good experience for the resident and visitors. It would be difficult to find another home where residents are treated with such kindness,
compassion and dignity. Thanks for looking after my mum so well.

Such a caring home. The staff are lovely and very caring. 15 years ago my sister picked this home out for our mum and it is even better now. Plenty of things to do and lots to eat. If someone wants a biscuit they would always get one whatever the time it is, just like a proper home the way it is set
out and everyone goes wherever they want like you would in your own home.

I always joked with my wife that she would go into Spirngkell House Care Home if she got like her mother and unfortunately she did.
My wife worked at Springkell House after putting her mother in here because it was so much better than homes locally. She worked nights with a lady who is now the manager.
This
is a wonderful home although nearly 40 miles from where I live. The staff, food and atmosphere are really great. They greet you as soon as you arrive and make you very welcome.

Over 5 years of care here for my mother and it is still excellent. The staff are happy and smiling. The residents are happy and smiling. Everyone is well looked after. Visitors made welcome. The door is always 'open'. The staff look after my mother like she is their mother and best of all, I don't have
to worry about her. She is at home.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.845)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.845) out of 10 for Springkell House Care Home 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.845 for Springkell House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (121 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 142 Ratings = 4.845

  • 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 Springkell House Care Home is based on 12 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 35 registered maximum number of service users is 7, which has been reached with 12 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.

Anne-Marie

Anne-Marie Loynton

Job Title: Support Manager

Joined: 2023

I have worked within the care industry for more than eighteen years, thirteen of which I have spent at Beritaz Care. My whole family worked in the care industry so it has always been what I wanted to do, I am glad to have been able to follow in their footsteps.


My role at the home involves caring for and supporting our residents however they need. I oversee the staff on the floor, making sure correct procedures are being followed and offering my help when needed. I really enjoy caring for the residents and spending time talking to them. Working at Springkell House is made even better by the great team I have around me, we work very well together and everyone gets on.


The training offered by Beritaz is brilliant, my biggest achievement since being with the company is gaining my NVQ level 3, and I am now working towards my level 4 qualification. I wouldn’t be in the position I am in now without the training and support of Beritaz Care as an employer.


Jozef (Jogi)

Jozef (Jogi) Tomko

Job Title: Head Chef & Facilities Supervisor

Joined: 2004

I began my professional catering career as an Army chef, I then worked in restaurants before coming to Springkell House in 2004. The management team and Beritaz Care are forward-thinking and encourage you to develop your skills and knowledge. I have achieved NVQ 2 in catering, NVQ 3 in Hospitality and in 202 I achieved Diploma 4 in Hospitality Management. I have overall responsibility for managing the kitchen.


I take real pride in the food we serve at Springkell House, ensuring that it is good quality, healthy and appetising. Spending time with the residents creating menus and seeing clean plates at the end of mealtimes is very rewarding for me.


A highlight of my career and my proudest moment was being nominated as a finalist for Chef of the Year at Surrey Care Associations 2019 Care Awards. In 2019 we also started a luncheon club for Hindhead’s local community, the response and the feedback from has been brilliant


Danka

Danka Tomkova

Job Title: Home Administrator

I have not always worked in care, prior to moving to England from my home country Slovakia I was a dress designer and worked in retail becoming a manager of a shop before taking time out to have my children.


My husband Jogi started working at Springkell House, and meeting his colleagues encouraged me to join the Springkell House team. I first started working as one of the domestic team and helping out in the kitchen. I’m now the activities coordinator which has allowed me to utilise my creative skills and have more contact with the residents which I enjoy very much. With the support of the manager, I successfully achieved a Diploma in activities.


I feel I have grown as a person and in confidence since working at Springkell House but most of all I am rewarded every day by seeing the residents happy and engaged in the activities we put in place.

Bansariben Patel

Job Title: Senior Care Assistant

Joined: 2021

I joined the team at Springkell House in November 2021 as a care assistant, prior to this role I worked in London as a domiciliary care worker.


I was inspired to join the care industry due to my personal family experience. Being involved with caring for my mother who was suffering from paralysis and supporting her daily needs, motivated me to pursue a career in care, as I feel truly passionate about helping others.


A friend informed me about the vacancy at Springkell House and I was excited about the opportunity. I have really enjoyed my time working here, having the opportunity to progress my skills and knowledge, my confidence has massively grown since I came here.


I enjoy working and interacting with the residents every day and working as part of a close-knit team with my fellow staff members. Everyone at Springkell House is friendly and supportive, it’s a wonderful place to work.

Laura Baghdisar

Job Title: Chef

Joined: 2017

I first joined the team at Springkell House in October 2017, I had only moved to the UK three weeks prior to starting my role. When I joined, I was part of the domestic team at the home, starting in the role of Kitchen Porter before being offered the role of Cook in December of the same year.


I have always thought that the kitchen is the soul of a house, as a child, I spent many hours in the kitchen with my family cooking and enjoying our meals together. My mother was working at Springkell House before I joined, it is thanks to her I found out about the job opportunity.


They say that God won’t give us what we ask for, but what we need. I am very happy to have been given the opportunity to work here, Springkell House very quickly became like a second home to me. The team at the home all know each other very well and feel as if we are an extended family to each other.


Since joining Springkell House I have been supported to develop my skills, I have completed my NVQ level 2 and am planning to continue to do more.


Robiul

Robiul Islam

Job Title: Domestic & Kitchen Assistant

Joined: 2023

I have been working at Springkell House Care Home as a Domestic and Kitchen Assistant since October 2023.


Before joining Springkell House, I worked in an Italian restaurant as a kitchen assistant and assistant chef in London.


I always love to help people, everyone around me knows that I am one of the first people to volunteer to help someone when it is needed. For me, working in the nursing and care sector is a perfect fit and I feel blessed to play a part in caring for others. My wife Razin also works at Springkell House as a Care Assistant, which is another reason I was keen to take the opportunity to join this team.


My job is to keep the home clean and germ-free, for the safety and comfort of the residents. I also help the kitchen team with the resident’s daily meals. I enjoy serving the residents a nice cup of tea, it brings a smile to their faces and I enjoy knowing I have made them happy.


The residents are the heart of the home and seeing them every day reminds me of my own loved ones, some of whom have sadly left us. I am grateful to be part of a team that feels like a family, where no matter the challenges we are faced with we always support each other. It is a wonderful and amazing place to work.


Cristina

Cristina Floricel

Job Title: Activities Coordinator

Joined: 2023

I joined the Springkell House team in June 2023. Before then I had been working in fields of activity very different from care, and it took me a while to realise that I would love to work closely with people and find a way to help others.


As I decided to make such a big change in my career, I thought that it would be great to start with a smaller and more family-like company, and ideally somewhere close to home. The law of attraction worked in my favour and a friend told me about the Activities Coordinator role at Springkell House.


My job involves bringing a joyful smile to the faces of those in need, often helping those with lonely minds and tired hearts, sometimes walking on their last path. I organise the residents’ activities schedule, encouraging wellbeing and bringing fun to their day as much as possible. My favourite part of my job is that I can combine my passion for arts & crafts with work, and it challenges me to find suitable ways for the residents to enjoy moments of life. I enjoy talking and interacting with the residents while getting to know them and learning about their lives. I enjoy the challenge of finding activities that are interesting and enjoyable for them to engage with every day.


I am very grateful that Beritaz Care gave me their trust and the opportunity to develop a career in the care sector. I am grateful to work at Springkell House because here I have the opportunity to develop my skills and continue my path forward. I am grateful to be part of a team that feels like a family, where no matter the challenges that we are faced with, we always support each other.

Job Title: Care Assistant

Joined: 2023

I joined the team at Springkell House in February 2023, my journey at the home so far can only be described as great. I was sponsored to come to the UK to work, transitioning from my country was a difficult decision but one I am glad I made. When I arrived at Springkell House I was greeted by an amazing team and made to feel comfortable straight away. I immediately felt at home in such a warm and welcoming atmosphere.


Working with the rest of the team has been wonderful. Even though we are all from different cultural backgrounds, we accept each other and work in unity. Each member of the team has great ideas and knowledge which they are happy to share with each other. Working with Beritaz Care has been great, they have helped me to feel welcome and provide excellent training, which is really important for our everyday tasks.

Aneesa Rafi

Job Title: Care Assistant

Joined: 2023

I have always wanted to help others and do something that makes a positive difference in people’s lives, so a career in the care industry was the perfect fit for me. I have been working as a Care Assistant at Springkell House since the spring of 2023, I love being able to work so closely with the residents and feel like I am helping to make their day a little bit brighter.


Before coming to Springkell House I worked as a domiciliary carer, helping elderly people within their own homes. While I found this work very rewarding, I struggled with the constant travel. I wanted to find somewhere I could come to every day and feel part of a team, while still knowing what I do is having a positive impact.


I really enjoy helping the residents at Springkell House, my job involves looking out for not just their physical but also mental health. Having a good team around me makes a big difference, we get on really well and work together as a team. I am happy I get to do a job I enjoy.
