My grandma came into the care at Bluebell House in 2022 after a fall at home and as a step into going back home. The care my grandma has received since then has been second to none. She is now a resident and she is so well looked after. I visit the home quite often and every time I am welcomed as if
it is my grandma’s home. Nothing is too much trouble and I know she is receiving the best care. Every month or so there is an event like a Halloween party with a singer, afternoon tea and a BBQ. It is so lovely to go and spend time with my grandma and her friends. Thank you Bluebell House for looking after my grandma and giving us the comfort she is in the safest place.

Mum was admitted to Bluebell Court after a fall and a 5-week stay in hospital. She initially went in for respite and after a review by social services, it was decided Mum would benefit from a longer stay. During this time the staff and attention given to Mum impressed all the family. It was decided
by Mum and the family that the care and supervision she was receiving would be beneficial to her. She decided to sell her bungalow and go into long-term care. Mum has a special dietary need and this is well catered for. The staff treat all the residents like family. I would not hesitate to recommend Bluebell Court to anyone considering a care home for a friend or member of the family.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.450)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.450) out of 10 for Bluebell House Residential Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 5 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 4.950 for Bluebell House Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (57 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.95

  • 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 4.5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bluebell House Residential Care Home is based on 5 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 = 3.5

    • 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 20 registered maximum number of service users is 4, which has been reached with 5 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.
