Thank you for your very kind review, it will be shared with the team, as recognition is important. You are right, it is 'not just a job', carers don't work in social care for the money. It is really warming to know that you see that in the team. We pride ourselves on family values and individualised care.

Thank you for your very kind review, I am so pleased you chose Blenheim for your mum, she is a real character and has a great sense of humour. Your comment relating to the atmosphere of the home is exactly what we aim for, home from home, lived in and loved. I completely appreciate your feedback on activities and agree that this has been lacking. This should improve with the recruitment of our Activities Co-ordinator.

Thank you for your kind review, this will be passed on to the team as always. It was particularly nice that the management of the home and how accessible we are got a mention. My deputy and I work very hard to keep Blenheim running smoothly, for our team and more importantly our residents. Great family support from you and thank you for working with us to make Blenheim the great home it is.

Thank you for the very kind review. Our residents may be in our care, however at Blenheim, we look after families as well, you are an extension to our family. I will pass your very kind words to all my team, it makes the world of difference to be recognised for the hard work they put in day in / day out.

It is always great when we have your family members come to live with us because we were recommended from previous family members. Speaks volumes about the care at Blenheim and what a great home it is. Although Dad was not with us long for the second visit, it was a pleasure to look after both Mum and Dad for respite earlier this year. Mum is now settled here and I hope you can take time to look after yourself and see that Mum is now an addition to the Blenheim family; as are you.

Thank you so very much for the lovely review. It is so nice when all departments at Blenheim get a mention, as the home is so much more than just the care team; as amazing as they are. Mum has really settled well here and is a pleasure to care for. It is always a concern for us when someone is referred that is at very high risk of falling. However, it is true testament to the team and their love and care, when the falls dramatically reduce at our home. Thank you again, I will feed this back to the team.

Thank you for your very kind review. This will be passed on to the team, who are amazing! Blenheim has many amazing caring people looking after Mum, and we will always do all we can for each of our residents. I am so proud of everyone for the work they have put into Mum and her improvement here. Of course, relatives like you, that are so involved and help out, always make collaborative working a positive experience. Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your very kind review, which I have fed back to my team. Your mum is missed by us all at Blenheim, she was such a lovely lady, spirited and funny. It was sad she had to move from her previous care home, however we were very glad she did. The team said today, the home is not the same without her. Thank you for choosing Blenheim Care Home.

Thank you for your very kind review. We do miss your mum's smile, she brightened up the dullest of days with her smile. I hope mum is happy at home with her live-in carer. I am pleased that we were able to help in the process of getting mum back home. If you ever need any help in the future just let us know.

Thank you for taking the time to provide a review. I was very sorry to hear that you did not receive a response to your concerns raised to the local council. I have checked with the council who have confirmed they sent an email to myself on 19/10/22. However, I did not receive this email, as it appears my name was spelt incorrectly. The registered Manager at Blenheim did not receive any communication regarding the complaint either, unfortunately. If we had received this, we would have made contact immediately. I have made attempts to get in touch with you by phone call and email, as it would be very beneficial to discuss this with you further, hopefully, to resolve your concerns and apply any lessons learnt with our team.

Thank you for your kind review. Your dad, mum and the whole family are all very much missed by us all at Blenheim. Truly, one of those families that were a real pleasure to get to know and work with. The generosity of the family was very much appreciated, in time and gifts, especially the visiting horse. You are always welcome to pop in for a cuppa anytime. I will pass the very kind comments on to the team. Thank you again, and I am personally so glad we made a difference in mum's life after dad left us.

Thank you so much for the kind review. It is always good to know that Dad is settled, happy and well looked after. Mum, in her short time with us, was a character, and I hope even though Dad stays in his room, you know he is not alone. I will pass the kind comments on to the team; thank you again.

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.813) out of 10 for Blenheim 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.813 for Blenheim Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (130 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 155 Ratings = 4.813
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 Blenheim Care Home is based on 13 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 31 registered maximum number of service users is 6.2, which has been reached with 13 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.
