My mum was moved to Spring Bank as our chosen home on end of life care. We could not have picked a better home.


The care home itself it like a hotel. No nasty smells, cosy and to hotel standard.


The staff are wonderful and shared many jokes with my mum during her short stay here. She loved the

food and company, we wouldn't have wanted her to be anywhere else.


I cannot thank the staff enough for my mum's last days.


As I work in the sector, Spring Bank care home even exceeded my expectations.

When Mum reacted badly to her 1st night here, the Deputy Manager told us crossly mum's needs couldn't be met. A GP explained to her the need for settling in time.


We thought mum was in a secure dementia unit but one-night unobserved, mum left her room, walked along a corridor and upstairs and somehow

hurt herself. A pressure mat was supposed to monitor her being safe in bed and although we'd brought up with the manager that this wasn't working or not always set by staff, she didn't address this for weeks and just made excuses.


Although the manager told us mum was welcome to stay permanently, 2 weeks later she told us her room was needed and further respite was unavailable. The manager later said this was because we "had concerns" and the home couldn't meet mum's needs. We'd had no communication about this.


The poor communication and lack of caring made it a very unhappy experience overall. This home isn't prepared to care for those who may have extra needs as dementia sufferers often do, especially as the illness progresses.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.685)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.685) out of 10 for Springbank Care Home 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 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 4.885 for Springbank Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (86 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.885

  • 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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Springbank Care Home is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 8 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.
