While housed in an older building, Springwood has been thoughtfully adapted to create a homely atmosphere with smaller communal spaces. Each corridor features a family kitchen, available 24/7 for visitors to enjoy, just like in a family home.

The home offers unique spaces like Daisy Way, with a garden room bringing the outdoors inside, complete with a potting table and garden furniture for vintage teas. Bluebell Row features a '50s-style diner with a jukebox and bar, perfect for small parties. During lockdown, a first class train carriage was created to let residents enjoy world tours through one-to-one sessions with carers, filling the void of not seeing loved ones.

Springwood also has a Charity Shop for residents to enjoy, as well as a parlour for peaceful relaxation or private time with family and staff. A day service in a separate annex offers additional activities, and the home benefits from its own minibus and drivers.

The kitchen team prepares delicious, home-cooked meals every day, and residents can personalise their compact, comfy rooms with pictures and furnishings. The Activity Worker organises exercise sessions, church services, trips to the pub, coffee shops, and local shops, and coordinates events and entertainers. The home has small outdoor spaces for relaxation and a greenhouse for green-fingered residents.

With a mix of dedicated staff, both experienced and newer, Springwood ensures that all residents are happy, well-cared for, and feel truly at home. Sheffcare is committed to providing quality care at a fair price, offering excellent value for residents who fund their own care.

My mother was in Springwood Care Home until her passing. She loved it here. The staff treated her with the utmost respect. Her room was clean and comfy and her meals were exceptional. There were activities as often as possible and included everyone where possible. The building needs a little updating
as one would expect but very secure for the residents. Also unusually always smelled fresh. Washing done onsite which was a big bonus. Hairdressers on-site and a nice little garden. The staff go above and beyond for the residents and family alike. Nothing was too much trouble. I would recommend this care home to anyone thinking about their loved one's needs. Best Regards.

Being my friend's carer since last September I really needed a holiday and at short notice, I was offered a 3-week stay for her.
From entering the home we were made to feel more than welcome. She was looked after with dignity and respect and all of the staff are amazing.
Her room was lovely and very
clean and she could sit in the lounges to watch TV and take part in any activities they were doing.
The meals and snacks are of lovely quality and could have as much or as little as she wanted.
All of the residents seemed really happy and content and they are cared for 24 hours a day.
She was allowed to take anything she wanted for her room and the room was cleaned daily. The toilets and bathrooms are cleaned to a very high standard.
She has really enjoyed her stay and is looking forward to staying again for respite.
Thank you to all the staff. The manager is an amazing lady and speaking with the staff they are very happy working there.
Thanks, everyone. Hope you all enjoy the cake.

Just spent Mother’s Day with our mum and Springwood had put on an amazing day for all the residents. They had a singer on and we were all invited to go and watch the singer with our mum and sisters. We all had a lovely day and made lots of memories with our mum. A big well done to the activities coordinator
who did a great job at organising it. Our mum is so happy in her new home, we always feel very welcome when we go to see Mum and all the staff are brilliant with Mum so a big thank you to the manager and her team, you are all amazing.

Had a brilliant Mother’s Day afternoon with my mum and all the residents, carers and the manager singing along with the singer and she even had us dancing, then finished off with sandwiches and cakes. Thank you for making my Mother's Day.

My nan has lived in this care home for roughly a year now. As a family, we were so nervous and reluctant to move Nan into a care home, but as her condition progressed we had no choice. We looked around a few (some all singing all dancing, some less so) and Springwood really stood out for all the right
reasons. It felt warm, safe and homely. The manager and her team are so lovely and genuinely care. My nan always looks loved and well cared for when we visit/take her out. Thank you Springwood!

Reply from Amelia Charlesworth, PA to CEO at Springwood

I could not be more pleased with the care my mum receives at Springwood.
She became a resident during the pandemic, and this has been very difficult for us as a family. The care home has supported us throughout this with kindness and empathy.
The staff go above and beyond to care for mum and make
us feel involved in Mum's care which is so important to us.
Massive thank you to the staff and manager at Springwood!

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.091)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.091) out of 10 for Springwood 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 4.1 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 4.966 for Springwood is calculated as follows: ( (57 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 59 Ratings = 4.966

  • 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 4.125 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Springwood 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 8 = 0.625

  • 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.
