I cannot praise this care home enough I have been visited a friend twice now and bringing her lifelong friend too visit. The staff cannot do enough to make us feel welcome and offering beverages. The home is friendly atmosphere and spotless clean. I feel so home from home here and my only regret is
that I didn't know about this home when my late mother needed care. Excellent care home.

My mother-in-law started residing at Laburnum House approx October 24. As a family supporting her we felt the time was right for her to go into care as her Dementia's were strongly impacting her and our lives in a very negative way. Since living there she has settled well in her lovely room and her
anxiety and fear has lessened greatly. Staff are fabulous, always approachble and friendly, too many to name but there is six favourite staff members who make out decision so much easier. We can't thank them enough.

I just want to take this moment to say a big thank you to all members of staff at Laburnum House for the wonderful care of our dad. From carers, chefs, all domestic staff and management. Every single person goes above and beyond their duties to make sure all residents are very well looked after. Our
dad has come on leaps and bounds since arriving at Laburnum House. We thank each and every one of you for the excellent care.

Dad was in the care home for a very short time and sadly passed away while there. He was well looked after and cared for by all the staff. It's a very nice care home with caring staff. They were very caring with me also when I got upset.

My mum came to Laburnum House Care Centre in September 2024. When I visited Laburnum House I knew I had found the best place for her. My initial walkaround was conducted with care and attention and the place itself was spotless. All the care staff were busy interacting with the residents in a joyful
and empathetic manner. I was invited to bring my mum and they made us both a lovely meal and showed off the room she could have. My mum moved in and the induction was amazing, they spent a couple of hours just with us, settling my mum in. I enjoy visiting every time and my mum is cared for like a family would care for someone. Recently they threw her a birthday party and made the room all special for her and our family and last week they created a memory for me and my brother by cooking a special meal just for the three of us. They did my mum's hair and make up, took pictures and then gave me a framed picture of us all to commemorate the day. I'm crying just typing that. It is a very special place.

My mother has Alzheimer's and has been a resident in Laburnum House for the last 3 years. We were so fortunate to get a place in Laburnum House, as soon as we needed. My mother settled in immediately and this is all down to the lovely, caring staff who work here. The compassion and kindness to all of
your residents is so clear to see. I can sleep at night knowing that Mum is safe and happy. Thank you all.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.831)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.831) out of 10 for Laburnum House Care Centre 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 43 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 43 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 4.831 for Laburnum House Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (439 Excellents x 5) + (63 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 514 Ratings = 4.831

  • 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 Laburnum House Care Centre is based on 43 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 34 registered maximum number of service users is 6.8, which has been reached with 43 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.

Edelyn

Edelyn Napa

Job Title: General Manager

Joined: 2005

Edelyn was born and raised in the Philippines and the first industry she worked in was worlds away from care work too. Initially training and working in chemical engineering, Edelyn eventually found work as a production manager before training as an ISO auditor for eleven years.

But it wasn’t until 2004 that she found her true calling, when she decided to begin studying basic nursing in preparation for a move to the UK.

The Bloomcare family was excited to be able to welcome Edelyn in May 2005. The work came naturally to Edelyn and she soon began to climb the management ladder, eventually being chosen to manage the first Bloomcare home that we opened in Greater Manchester: Laburnum House. This was a huge responsibility and one that we felt we could only trust to Edelyn.

With our support, Edelyn has worked through various NVQ qualifications, and her wealth and variety of past experience has gifted her with the ability to communicate effectively with all kinds of people, as well as providing her with an indispensable set of leadership skills. All of these traits are central to the way that she runs Laburnum House. Everything that Edelyn and her staff do is carried out with the single goal of providing her residents with the highest level of bespoke care, with a focus on promoting independence, fostering healthy friendships, and retaining quality of life.
