Professional approach, friendly staff, show a lot of patience and understanding with residents, appreciating their individual needs.
First impression (which was a major factor when I first used the service in December 2017) is more like a hotel than a care home.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My father required care in a hurry as his dementia had suddenly got worse. We had contacted Collingtree Park a month or so previously knowing that the time was approaching when we would be unable to care for dad to the extent we wished. The manager visited and said it would be a few months yet, but
took him at very short notice when he suddenly went downhill. Dad thought he was in a hotel and was very happy there. The staff, especially a male member of staff who took no nonsense from dad, were amazing and my father, who was rude to everyone in a jokey way, found he could be as he was and the staff accepted him and, I think, enjoyed his banter. Unfortunately, he was not with them long but I thank them for making him content and looked after in his last months.

Reply from Caroline Major, General Manager at Barchester Collingtree Park Care Home

My experience of Collingtree Park has been extremely positive.
My aunt had been living independently in her own home but circumstances changed and a residential home move was necessary.
Collingtree Park made this transition as comfortable as possible, identifying my aunt's concerns and addressing
her needs successfully.
To date, she appears very happy with her new environment.

The location and setting with beautiful gardens are very pleasant. The refurbished areas downstairs are extremely pleasing and of a high standard. Staff are friendly, but I feel there could be more frequent checks. Sadly, the upstairs floor always smells which is unnecessary and indicates attention
is required. However, I do appreciate that I am unaware of all the demands in a care home.

Reply from Caroline Major, General Manager at Barchester Collingtree Park Care Home

Thank you for your review. We would like to assure you that we have the highest standards and endeavour to ensure our home is clean and odour free as well as our residents feeling safe, supported and cared for at all times. We have now started our pre-planned, in-house refurbishment to include a new lounge and dining area.

My late mother-in-law was in this home for two and a half years our experience was so positive that I chose Collingtree for my mother too. The staff genuinely cares for our family members and clearly all due to other residents. There is a community atmosphere which is inclusive, fun, patient and understanding.
My mother is disabled however nothing is considered insurmountable. The staff and management work as a cohesive and respectful team. Their communication is second to none within the home and to families.
Thank you.

Mum's stay with you was unfortunately too short and for that reason, I can only say that I feel she would have been better catered for if she was placed in a room on the ground floor.

Thank you for your review. We would like to reassure for future respite breaks we now have 'Pre Bookable Breaks' for up to a year in advance- which would offer your family the flexibility to plan ahead for personalised care.

A good care home that cares well for your relative. The home is clean and is well presented. The staff are polite and make conversation with the relatives which is appreciated. There is a monthly what's on listing that each person has and informs them of what's coming up. In general, it is a happy environment.


The individual rooms are comfortable and there is the choice to use the existing furniture or you can take your own. The room can be changed around and you are allowed to hang pictures etc. which makes it more familiar and homely for the resident. I would have no hesitation in recommending this care home.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.279)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.279) out of 10 for Barchester Collingtree Park Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.279 for Barchester Collingtree Park Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (108 Excellents x 5) + (86 Goods x 4) + (35 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 233 Ratings = 4.279

  • 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 Barchester Collingtree Park Care Home is based on 17 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 79 registered maximum number of service users is 15.8, which has been reached with 17 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.
