My mum has lived here for 5 years. During that time she has been happy and very well looked after. She is always clean, well-dressed and well-fed. The carers and staff look after the residents so well, are always approachable, friendly and work so hard. I have never had any worries about her time here.
It is an excellent care home.

The care home is a very welcoming place. All the staff are lovely and have ensured Dad has settled in. Dad can be very grumpy but they have all spent the time to get to know him. It is also nice to feel comfortable to visit the home. I wish Mum had come here to spend her final days.

Dad looks healthier, he's happier and he is more active at Laburnum House than she was at home. I've felt comfortable leaving Dad in their care right from the offset. The team are fantastic and this really shone through at the recent BBQ, even when the off-duty staff helped to make sure the residents
were safe and looked after. The feedback given is listened to and actioned quickly as everyone cares about being the best they can be. I'm glad we were able to get Dad a place at Laburnum House and I'm grateful for the care and respect they show Dad.

As my mum constantly refused 24-hour care until the age of 99, she only spent 5 months here last year until she died in August 2023. During that time she was cared for by the most amazing team of people anyone could wish for. The compassion, kindness, gentleness and love they showed her and myself was
outstanding. I have continued to visit as often as I can which is a testament to the high regard I have for the people who work tirelessly to give quality of life to their residents.

My mother, who has dementia, has now been a resident at Laburnum for almost 6 years. Not once have I ever had any issues or concerns with the love and care she has received over this time. She is treated with respect and dignity which I put down to all the staff at the home, from admin, care (day and
night), domestic and kitchen staff. Mum has always been happy and even with her worsening condition she still smiles at the staff and seems very content at the home. This is extremely reassuring for me and I cannot praise them enough.

The care at Laburnum House is excellent all the staff are friendly, helpful, and very supportive to all our family. The manager is approachable when needed. The home is very clean and well-kept. The furniture in some rooms is dated but the care is the most important. We are always greeted with a smile
and the food is varied and a great standard.

My mother continues to be happy at Laburnum House, praising the caring attitude of the staff and the standard of food. There have been some medical issues which Laburnum House has made every effort to resolve, in particular her poor sleep pattern. She has had a few falls in spite of the vigilance of
staff, but luckily has not sustained any real injury and has been taken to hospital if there are any worries about the after-effects. Our only real criticism is the lack of activities for residents and the lack of stimulation as a result.

Staff were always incredibly supportive and responsive throughout my grand nearly two years at Laburnum House. My gran always wanted quite a lot of attention and has major physical health and anxiety issues. Nevertheless, she remained highly complimentary of you all throughout! This was quite an achievement
because she has been known to express concerns previously! When my gran's needs increased, staff and team leaders found extra time and energy to get her through. Thank you.

Thank you for your positive and very uplifting comments. I am really glad that your gran was happy with the care and support that she received from us.

My father has been a resident at Laburnum House for two years, and throughout that time, we have been extremely happy with the care and support he receives. Communication is excellent, and we are kept fully informed. All staff are professional and caring and always welcome us with a smile when we visit.
They are knowledgeable and understanding of Dad's needs, and we always feel that they know him well.

I have always found the staff to be very helpful and caring towards my sister. Nothing ever seems too much trouble and they are always keen to give me an update on my sister. I have noticed a huge difference in my sister since she came to Laburnum House. She is a lot happier than I have seen her for
a long time. This is down to the care she is receiving. Thank you so much all at Laburnum House.

I was very anxious about moving Dad into a care home but the staff made the transition much easier. Nothing was too much trouble and they have time to talk to me about Dad. He looks much better and has put weight on due to being cared for properly. It would be nice if there were more 1:1 interactions
with him, playing cards and dominoes etc. But I do understand staff are busy with residents whose medical needs are much greater. It's nice that the time that I now spend with Dad is focused on him rather than being the day-to-day tasks that needed doing such as cleaning and shopping!

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.
