All the staff are so good, always patient with the residents, and treat them with 100% dignity no matter what is occurring. Take a genuine interest in every individual and tailor their approach accordingly. Activities on offer are super, really positive approach to do as much as possible and again,
tailor outings to the individual.

My mum has had nothing but the best care, attention and love from all the staff. Well looked after. Could not be more happy.
At the end of my mum's life, treated with love, care and dignity. All carers and management could not have done more and also, my feelings were looked after, so kind and calm
and helped me get through her passing. The residents helped also.

Bamford Close Care Home looked after my dad from May 2023 until he passed in July 2023.
I cannot praise the staff highly enough. The compassion and care they show to both residents and families are exemplary - nothing is too much trouble. I can never than them enough.

Within four days we could bring our demented sister-in-law from Brittany to Bamford Close Care Home. All was well prepared, I spent many hours in the home before my sister-in-law came, lots of talking about her life story. Staff extremely friendly, not only to residents but among each other too.
Very
positive they assessed her strengths and skills of the demented person. When she came, all knew about her, a lovely welcome, very moving. She's been a week and has settled and feels very well. Thank you all very much!

My dad has been at Bamford Close Care Home for 10 months now and can say the care he's received from all staff has been excellent. My dad is 91 and suffers from dementia which can be challenging at times but has been treated with dignity and understanding at all times. I just feel we were so lucky to
get him a place here.

My mum had lived at Bamford Close Care Home for over 11 years and the majority of her time was enjoyable. The last 16 months have been really good. Unfortunately, she had a stroke on 1st Feb 2023 and was not expected to survive. After a week in the hospital, she was allowed to return to Bamford Close
and the care she received for the last 5 weeks of her life from all the Bamford staff was just exceptional and very caring. I was so happy she got to spend her last weeks there with staff and friends she knew rather than in the hospital. The home has many activities for the residents and the staff are very caring and professional all at the same time as being very friendly too. The recent management is exceptional and always puts residents first which is what really matters. There is a friendly atmosphere as soon as you enter the building and you can tell there is a good teamwork effort from all the staff. I would highly recommend Bamford Close Care Home.

Reply from Deborah Whitworth, Home Manager at Bamford Close

Thank you, Julie, for your lovely review it means a lot to me and the staff and it was an honour and pleasure taking care of your mum. She will be missed by all at Bamford.

On the 28th of November, we called to see a friend who has been moved to Bamford Close Care Home. We found the facilities to be overall excellent, the cleanliness, the staff and management and the care/support couldn't do enough to help the residents. Everyone is treated with dignity and respect. Lots
of activities, the food and drinks look good, rooms are good, safety and security are good. Overall a great place.

The activities are much better than they used to be. The food always looks lovely.
Staffing levels seem to be getting quite low. My nanna always has clothes/glasses/PJs etc going missing despite them being labelled. Her dressing gown has been missing for weeks.
The notice board/menu never seems
to have the right day or date displayed with could cause even more confusion to residents.

Reply from Deborah Whitworth, Home Manager at Bamford Close

Thanks for your review, we are happy to hear that you are satisfied with the activities and the food on offer at Bamford Close. We are sorry you feel your Nana's items go missing but this is very normal in a busy home, and we are pleased to let you know she has her glasses and dressing gown in her room. The menu boards were purchased by me (the Manager) and I fill these in myself - they were not filled in when I was on annual leave but will ensure they are going forward.

My cousin hated his previous care home and it closed due to it being so bad. He loves this care home and the staff. He has memory and communication problems but not Dementia. The staff go out of their way to see to his needs. He is happy at Bamford Close Care Home and I do not worry for him now he is
there.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.850)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.850) out of 10 for Bamford Close is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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 4.850 for Bamford Close is calculated as follows: ( (344 Excellents x 5) + (54 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 401 Ratings = 4.85

  • 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 Bamford Close is based on 34 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 34 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.
