Lovely, caring staff, clean rooms throughout, and activities organized which are great fun. Staff get stuck in to clean and tidy up. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff to do. Every service user is well dressed in their own clothes. Meals are good. Mum loves it there. We are made more than welcome
when we visit Mum.

Knowing that Mum is safe and well cared for is so important to us as a family. The staff have all got to know Mum so well and know how to adapt and attend to her changing needs. We are so thankful to all the staff at Bollingbroke House for the way they look after Mum as a part of their extended family.

I am new to care homes so can't compare. I am totally satisfied in all aspects of my husband's care. The home is so inviting and never smells which I think is amazing, taking into account the number of residents. The staff are brilliant, not only with their residents but also visitors.

My mum was in for respite stay, she fully enjoyed her stay and keeps asking to come back. All staff were lovely and treated my mum with dignity and respect. My mum is on a level 4/5 diest and all her dietary needs were lovely and presentable. I would not hesitate to bring my mum back to Bollingbroke
House.

When my mum first arrived at Bollingbroke House she was end of life and bedridden. Over time she received good care and became stronger. Even though she has dementia she's improved physically. I put this down to good care by the staff and the good food that is served daily. I understand she's not always
the most cooperative of service users but the patience and dedication of the care staff is amazing. I have peace of mind that my mum is settled here and happy in her own way. Thanks to all.

My father has been for respite in 2 previous care homes, but this is third time lucky. Bollingbroke House is far superior, being clean, friendly and having a warm atmosphere. I know I can be at peace knowing my father is well looked after 24/7.

Since my mum came to Bollingbroke her health and happiness have improved beyond belief, the staff are fantastic, interacting with residents and relatives, always smiling under sometimes challenging situations. They also arrange various outings and activities which my mum loves. I would not hesitate

The best care home I have ever visited, my brother is so settled in Bollingbroke, the staff are amazing with him, and also with family, they cannot do enough for you, there is always something happening (e.g.) singers, coffee mornings, the Christmas and Halloween parties were fantastic, all staff deserve
so much.

I would like to say what excellent staff at this care home. Great work done by management that run the care home. Everything is very clean and tidy, it has all been redecorated, which looks very nice. The Christmas decorations were excellent. It is nice to know my husband is in good hands with the care
he needs. Thanks to everybody.

My review of Bollingbroke House in the last month, it has been difficult for us, as a family, seeing my sister in bed a lot of days but we find some of the staff really lovely and pleasant and really aim to please. I think there should be a little more activities for residents. The cleaners are always
busy, rooms are lovely and clean. Think there could be a little more entertainment for residents.

My experience of visiting my sister at Bollingbroke House, I am truly happy with the way she is looked after. She can be difficult at times, but they all know her personality.
Today, I attended the Christmas and entertainment party, and they all went far beyond my expectations and made the day very
special. Myself and the rest of the family are happy with the way she is looked after. The home is clean and welcoming, and the food they serve is absolutely amazing. I couldn't wish for a better place for my sister to be. She is happy there, and if she is happy, we are all happy. A remarkable place. Deserves a ten out of ten.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.821)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.821) out of 10 for Bollingbroke House 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.821 for Bollingbroke House is calculated as follows: ( (204 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 240 Ratings = 4.821

  • 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 Bollingbroke House is based on 20 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 20 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.
