We have been delighted with The Bungalow and the care Dad has received. I rang the manager in a state of panic when it became clear Dad would not be able to return home after a hospital stay. She could not have been more helpful and reassuring and that has been out experience with all the staff. A really
caring, kind and supportive environment.

As local next of kin, we had the benefit of seeing this care home at various times through their working day and different shift staff, as well as by regular telephone contact with several staff and the manager. We witnessed attentive and caring people, knowledgeable, able to advise us, and we had no
doubt all were well-trained. I would have mentioned a few people in particular but that would have omitted many others purely because I didn't note down their names. Overall we felt extremely lucky to have our loved one placed at this care home, cut short only due to a health issue requiring a hospital check. We would have no hesitation if social workers made a repeat placement at this same home.

I am a relative of a service user who now resides here. My answers are only based on what I have observed, as the service user has only been there for two weeks. So far, from what I have observed, the carers are doing a grand job. They are so polite, and nothing is too much for them. Keep up the good
work. The service user is so happy and repeatedly tells me how nice they all are.

Mum-in-law stayed with The Bungalow for just over a week. Having felt very apprehensive she was made to feel comfortable and was taken extremely good care of. The staff were amazing - cannot recommend it enough!

My mother has dementia and now is a resident of The Bungalow Care Home. The home is exceptionally clean, and the residents always look well looked after. The staff, from the cleaner to management level are so approachable and really do have the resident's individual needs very well in hand.
I never
visit without seeing lots of staff, tea and drinks with residents always.

I found the staff at my dad's care home very professional and treated my dad with dignity and care. My dad was in need of complex care, which was met at all times by the care home staff. I found the staff approachable, friendly and knowledgeable and always made time for both myself and my husband.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.713)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.713) out of 10 for The Bungalow Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 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 4.713 for The Bungalow Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (96 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 129 Ratings = 4.713

  • 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 The Bungalow 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 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6, 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.
