Really good experience right from the start.
The receptionist was friendly, helpful and explained everything. Mum has a lovely room overlooking the garden and is settling in well. all the staff from the general manager, finance manager and all carers are willing to chat and help in making mum feel
at ease. we even get to sample delicious cake with our cup of tea.

My wife stays in the home for a little less than 4 weeks before her condition worsened far more quickly than had been anticipated. Nevertheless, during her stay, I made many visits and found the attention, care, compassion and friendliness to be most exemplary. All of the above attributes were extended
to me in the fullest way.


I was and am highly grateful to everyone at the home at the utmost level.


Reply from Tracey Snook, Administrator at Barchester Collingtree Park Care Home

We are truly privileged that you chose Collingtree Park for your wife and we thank you for the opportunity to care for her during the time she was here and we wish you both good health for the new year.

I went into Collingtree Park for respite care whilst my husband recovered from an operation. The care home staff were friendly and welcoming, the room was clean and comfortable. In general, the care was good but certain aspects of my needs were not always catered for. For example, I have great difficulty
holding cutlery and therefore forks and spoons have to be strapped to my hand and food cut up into small pieces. This was not always done and I was unable to feed myself at those times.

Collingtree Park Care Home is professionally run but at the same time feels like home. My father has been a resident for over five years now and his needs have always been met.
The staff get to know the residents properly, ensure they are safe and listen to their views. Relatives also get a chance
to share their views and there are regular meetings held with the home's manager. Collingtree Park is exceptionally well run and I would not hesitate to recommend it to others.

Reply from Tracey Snook, Administrator at Barchester Collingtree Park Care Home

It is both a pleasure and a privilege to support you and your family. It is equally important that both you and your father's views are shared and valued. Thank you for your review.

The staff are very good, caring, kind, respectful and professional but at times there seems to be too few in numbers, which can lead to mishaps. There is a shortage of stimulating activities, particularly in memory lane or appears to be. Overall, it provides a good standard of care.

Before her death in November 2016 mum had been a resident at Collingtree Park for four years. She was always treated with respect, dignity and great care. All staff were friendly, caring and professionalism. The home was always clean and equally well cared for giving an excellent environment for residents.
As a family, we were always welcomed and supported. Mum could not have been in a better place, a real home from 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.
