My mother has been a resident at Botham Hall for several years and in all of that time she has always received excellent care from the staff. The staff are exceptional and always go beyond their duties to make sure she was happy. The care home is spotlessly clean plus the food is excellent. My mother
has recently passed away on 6th April 2023 and whilst me and all my family members were in and out of the home at all times. The members of staff could not do enough for us or my mother. In fact, three members of staff were with me when my mother passed away and I would like to say a big thank you to them all who at all times went above and beyond with the care of my mother, at that time. Thank you.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Lovely care home, located a short distance from Milnsbridge, overlooking fields and woods. Very quiet area. All rooms and communal areas are maintained to a very high standard. Spotlessly clean throughout. There is a nice secure garden area to the front which is lovely to sit out in with Mum in the
summer. Rooms are nicely decorated and of a high standard. We always struggled to get Mum to eat and generally look after herself prior to arrival. But within a few short weeks, had improved dramatically and looked a lot more well. The food is of a high standard and always smells lovely. All the staff are very friendly and have a great sense of humour. Mum has quite advanced dementia now, but I feel she is very well looked after and with the utmost dignity and compassion. The staff do a very good job of keeping me informed and up to date on Mums' condition and will let me know if she needs anything. Overall, I don't think I could have chosen a better care home for Mum.

I have been very impressed by the staff's responsiveness to my mother-in-law's changing needs and by the way, they have kept my wife informed about her health issues and emotional state, regularly taking on board my wife's opinions and concerns. Above all, I have been extremely impressed by the quality
of the relationships between staff and residents. A stable and very able staff seem to be at the core of these relationships. They are superb.

Such a welcoming and friendly staff. You feel safe in the knowledge, when you leave your loved one, that they are in safe hands. Such a comfort. The elderly people seem happy and comfortable and have a range of activities during the day that they can join in with. A big thank you to all the staff from

I've visited Botham Hall Care Home since Mum went there in July 2021. All the staff are kind, caring and go above and beyond. There is always a friendly and happy atmosphere and is exceptionally clean. Mum settled really quickly and is very happy having a laugh and fun with staff daily. The staff not
only show care and compassion to Mum, but also to us which was evident from the start. Could not have asked for a better group of staff.

Mum moved into Botham Hall in July 2021. We have had nothing but the best of care, compassion and friendliness shown to both Mum and ourselves. They are very good at keeping us informed of everything. They are always on the ball with any concerns and relay them quickly. Our family recently had a very
difficult family tragedy and the staff were very, very supportive of us and Mum. What more can I say. They are fantastic. Best decision we've made.

My cousin was in Botham Hall for an assessment bed following a hospital stay. The staff were very caring and efficient. Especially three of the staff, who were the main people we liaised with. The Home itself was a bit run down in so far as the decor was concerned and my cousin's bed was a rather narrow
and uncomfortable one. Nevertheless, the staff we met were lovely and were obviously committed to care.

My mother has been in the care of Botham Hall care home for a number of years. She has always received exceptional care and respect and dignity and has been attended to promptly in any medical problems. The staff have always been kind and friendly and very helpful towards us especially over the last
few months due to mother’s decline in health and ability and nothing seems to be too much trouble for them.

The care and attention given to our mother are excellent. Our mother is 93 years of age and suffering from Alzheimer's and because of her care, she has been at the home for 13 years. Long may she carry on living due to the care given.
Thank you, Botham Hall. We could not have assisted our mother in
her illness as you have done. A credit 10 out of 10 for the home.

Dad is a dementia suffer who needs care in a residential setting. The home always appears clean and there is a varied choice of menu. Dad says that he is well looked after and the food is good. The staff are respectful of residents and families and have a good relationship. I feel that Dad is well looked
after and safe. The staff always communicate any change in his condition. The management took all precautions in the prevention and management of Covid. I would recommend this home.

My wife has lived at Botham Hall Care Home since 27 February 2021. How lucky she got the placement in this wonderful care home. The living standards and comfort are very high, the staff from senior managers to carers, to cleaners and cooks are extremely good. Not only have they improved her state of
life, they have done the same for myself due to the loving care they show to her. I travel 26 miles round trip to visit her, but the welcome I get to my visit from my wife and the staff, is such that I could be visiting relations.

From the first point of contact, the staff have been excellent, fully informative at all times regarding the care of my mum, she suffers from severe Alzheimer's. The staff have a great understanding of the needs and have succeeded in mum gaining weight.
The food is good home cooked food with plenty
of choices. My mum loves the staff, especially the assistant manager, she doesn't know their names but she recognises them and is always saying how much she likes them and likes being where she is. She doesn't know it's a care home, but she knows that she likes it and she's happy which makes me happy, as I know that she is safe and being well looked after.
The home is always clean and tidy and staff well presented even when I have gone to take something unannounced. My mum is clean and tidy and they take time washing and blow drying her hair giving a very personal touch. I hold all the staff with great respect for the dignity they give my mum and I am so glad they had a place available for her.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.909)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.909) out of 10 for Botham Hall 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.909 for Botham Hall Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (229 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 252 Ratings = 4.909

  • 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 Botham Hall Care Home is based on 21 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 21 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.
