Penhill is a multi-award-winning residential care home with an outstanding reputation based in the suburbs of Bristol, close to local amenities and excellent transport links.

Specialising in long-term care for up to 19 residents, the independent family-run home offers an authentic home-from-home experience through its spacious and welcoming environment.

Staff are recruited locally, fully trained and provide the highest quality care, 24 hours a day. With a warm and personable approach, they endeavour to treat residents with love, respect and kindness.

Care is focused on the needs of the individual. Upholding dignity, independence and a sense of community is essential, so weekly forum meetings are held with residents to discuss the service.

Penhill is decorated to high standards throughout to help maintain a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere and has wheelchair access to all facilities. Residents benefit from en suite bathrooms, Wi-Fi, telephones and televisions in their fully furnished bedrooms, and have several communal spaces to unwind in around the grounds.

A large, cosy lounge sits at the heart of the home which includes an open log fire.

The dining room has an open kitchen where high quality, nutritious meals and freshly baked cakes are prepared.

The conservatory is a favourite spot for many to enjoy the beautifully presented gardens. The lawns and terrace are well maintained and easily accessible for all.

There are plenty of stimulating activities to get involved with and a lively entertainment programme to look forward to.

Penhill makes the transition from independent living to residential care seamless whilst maintaining independence. Staff treat residents like family, which extends to the individualised service they provide. Through dedication and a clear ethos, Penhill has achieved an excellent reputation over the last 20 years.

My aunt was welcomed into Penhill Residential Home on the 18th March 2016 after being in and out of hospital for a month, she was quite poorly.
From day one the management and staff gave their best the Manager and Asst Manager showed her great kindness and care throughout her time there. She sadly
passed away peacefully on Sunday 1st May. I shall will always be grateful for the kindness and care that she received .

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.877)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.877) out of 10 for Penhill 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.877 for Penhill is calculated as follows: ( (237 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 269 Ratings = 4.877

  • 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 Penhill is based on 23 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 19 registered maximum number of service users is 3.8, which has been reached with 23 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.
