My father was admitted to Broadacres from hospital as emergency respite care. We have been looking at other homes to move him to permanently, but made the decision to keep him at Broadacres. He has settled well. The staff are always cheerful and welcoming and my father is always clean and tidy, and
properly dressed. Communication is excellent. Telephones are always answered and queries (when made) are responded to.

We have recently moved our mother from another care home and decided on Broadacres Care Home. I am so truly glad that we did because, believe me when I say this, the care attention and genuine love given are bringing her back to her old self. The one we thought we'd never get back. She's finally thriving
with the correct motivation given.
We are finally at ease knowing that she is receiving the care she thoroughly deserves. We have our lovely mum back.
Thank you, from myself and the family for everything you have done and are continuing to do. The care team, the management, all of you deserve recognition. Nothing is too much trouble. You all have very big hearts.

Provide a good service and see the residents are well cared for. The care that they provide caters for everyone’s different needs. My mum is very happy while staying there, seems very content and gets on well with other residents. The staff are very approachable if you have any questions or concerns.

Broadacres Care Home is a warm, welcoming place. The staff will always go the extra mile to ensure needs are met. They are genuinely sensitive and discerning regarding residents. My mum and me have had outstanding support with adjusting to her needing 24-hour care due to Alzheimer's/dementia. Staff
always find things that she loses, which is great. The mealtimes and general routine at Broadacres run like clockwork. I feel at peace that my mum is a permanent resident here now.

This was our first experience with care homes, in our opinion, this home is absolutely disgusting. It's not clean, it's smelly, the staff are lazy and residents are left in their own mess for hours. Buzzers are not attached, so no contact to carers for help. There are no activities. Items of clothing
go missing. Other residents come into your room at night time, which is very distressing for people like my mum. Broadacres Care Home needs closing down.

Reply from Lyndsey Brewer, Home Manager at Broadacres Care Home

We want to assure you that we take all comments about our home very seriously. We were really saddened to read your review as our team constantly strives to ensure that all residents are happy and well cared for during their stays at our home. We do appreciate the four-star rating you gave our staff however.
Our records show that you lodged a complaint with our home manager and regional manager. We have completed an in-depth investigation into the matters you raised and have responded directly to you. We would welcome the opportunity to meet with you again and discuss any areas you feel that have yet to be addressed. We look forward to speaking to you so that we can set up a further meeting.

We are always extremely grateful for the high level of care provided to my mother by the "hands-on" care staff and their vigilance over the Covid period. We would also particularly commend the activities coordinator, who goes above and beyond to ensure my mother is stimulated and happy. The administration
is good and responds promptly/efficiently to any concerns, and care home management seems to be more stable following a period of inconsistency. This is reflected in the overall atmosphere of the care home, but more effective and frequent communication would be appreciated - thank you to all involved in caring for my mother.

Reply from Christopher Cousins, Home Manager at Broadacres Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to complete a review of Broadacres Care Home and for the lovely comments made. Can I also take this opportunity to say that it is our absolute pleasure to care for your mother. I am sorry to hear that you feel we are not communicating with you frequently enough, I will feed this back to the team at our next meeting, and we will ensure that this is resolved for you.

My mother has been in this home for almost two years. I have always found the staff to be helpful and professional. I genuinely believe the care she is getting is excellent. I can find no fault with the home, other than her room which I think could do with decorating.

The staff have always been helpful and kind, and my sister loved to interact with them. She has recently enjoyed singing and dancing and going out again. Sometimes, I think more staff at night should be available as my sister has often wet the bed because the carer was too busy.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.654)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.654) out of 10 for Broadacres Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.654 for Broadacres Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (145 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (5 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 4.654

  • 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 Broadacres Care Home is based on 14 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 14 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.
