Cannot fault Badgers Wood. All the staff, from the bottom to management at the top, are very friendly to my husband, myself and friends. The food looks lovely with a large variety.

My mother-in-law had spent 15months at Badgers Wood and was very happy there. She was always treated with kindness, love, care and above all allowed her to remain as independent as she wanted.
The staff were absolutely amazing and nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely recommend this home
to anyone who is looking for a care home.
Thank you to all the staff, my mum-in-law and all the family have been shown such care and kindness something we will never forget.

If you wish your loved one/relative to share their room with a commode (the shared toilets are in the coriddor), shabby old furniture, a pathetic wash basin and hardly room to swing a cat, then Badgers Wood should be just the ticket. Attention to health issues has been poor and the home management has
been condescending and patronising towards my wife who is this resident‘s last surving close relative.
User beware as there much better alternatives close at hand.

Badgers Wood is a comfortable, pleasantly situated care home. What marks it out particularly is the kindness of its staff and the exceptional care shown to its residents.
On a recent visit, I accompanied a member of staff through the home - every resident we met on the way was greeted by name with
genuine friendliness.
Highly recommended.

Over a period of several years, I have seen the home become more "homely" and friendly with residents cared for in a more loving way.

My father-in-law has been here for over a year now on daycare and respite.
The members of staff have been 1st class all friendly and helpful, any questions answered straight away. The manager and deputy both very experienced and will advise on anything that will assist father-in-law whilst there. He
always looks forward to attending Badgers Wood without a problem,

A friend moved into Badgers Wood last week. She was very scared of the change but after just a week, it is the happiest she has been for years. All staff have been so caring kind and helpful in settling her in and we can never thank them enough they are also always at the end of the telephone if we
have any queries. It is a brilliant home with clean and lovely rooms, would recommend it to anybody.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.646)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.646) out of 10 for Badgers Wood 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 7 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 Badgers Wood is calculated as follows: ( (84 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 84 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 4.646 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Badgers Wood is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 37 registered maximum number of service users is 7.4. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.4 = 0.946

  • 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.
