My wife is very contented with her care and the gentle attention from all the staff. Smiles are the currency of the greetings between all in the nursing home as well as first names, including me as a visitor. Cups of tea are always offered on the drinks round, which is appreciated after my journey.
My
wife's room and all the house are kept very clean. She has a TV to watch when lying in bed.
I am always made welcome on my visits, at any time of the day.
This is the home I would wish for when my time comes!

Since we began looking at care homes for mum, we found the staff at Southborough to be welcoming, helpful and kind. The home has an atmosphere of comfort and care. Mum is content, and her health has improved dramatically with professional, knowledgable and attentive caring. We are confident that Mum
is in the best place possible for her well-being.

Mum is very happy Southborough. She has been a resident for nearly four years, and the staff are like extended family. She is very well cared for despite her challenging behaviour - all the staff are brilliant with her. I have full confidence in the staff, and they keep myself fully informed of Mum
and any ongoing concerns. I cannot recommend Southborough more highly.

Reply from Monika Jankauskaite, Digital Marketing Manager at Southborough Nursing Home

Thank you for taking the time to leave us such an amazing review. It goes towards the strong sense of pride we all feel at Southborough Nursing Home when a resident and their loved ones are clearly happy with the care we provide. We are very happy to have your mum here with us.

My sister was extremely ill when she was moved from hospital to Southborough four years ago. The staff did a wonderful job of nursing her back to health, and she is now enjoying a comfortable, happy life, which she would not have had without their care. She is always clean, well-fed, and takes part
in the many activities Southborough provides. The staff are kind and caring, and my sister knows that she is lucky to be there.

Reply from Monika Jankauskaite, Digital Marketing Manager at Southborough Nursing Home

Thank you for this wonderful review. Such feedback is always a boost to the whole staff team who strive so hard to deliver the highest standards of care to our residents. It is our pleasure to care for your sister and to see her healthy, comfortable and happy.

I needed help with everything except eating, and at no time did I feel a nuisance (I'm sure I was often). Everyone has made me feel very comfortable. I am joining my sister-in-law in about home, otherwise, I would be more than happy to stay.

Over the past four years, Mum has been very happy at Southborough and she feels very much at home with the staff who she considers as her extended family. The atmosphere is always very caring and the nursing care excellent. Despite the difficulties with visiting over the last year, my brothers and I
have had great confidence in the home and Mum has remained happy and safe.

My overall experience with all staff members is very reassuring. All of the staff are friendly, helpful and keep me informed of how my mother is and any changes they see in her which is lovely. I cannot ask for any more from the staff and have every confidence in them. My mother is so happy at Southborough

I find Southborough a very homely and friendly place. Good nurses, with plenty of activities for the residents. My mum always refers to Southborough as her home. The staff always call me to let me know about anything that is over the ordinary.

Our mother received outstanding care for the short period of time residing at Southborough Nursing Home. She was treated with the utmost respect and dignity.
All staff who cared for our mother were professional well-informed individuals. They were caring and our mothers' needs were met to the highest
of standards. We would have no hesitation in recommending Southborough Nursing Home to anyone considering care for their loved ones and for myself. We feel extremely lucky we were recommended to this establishment. I now take this opportunity of thanking all staff at Southborough for making our mother's stay with you comfortable, at a time when her needs were very complex, you really did make a difference. In fact, we really couldn't have wished for a better all-round care facility. Thank you, really does feel quite insufficient, but thank you so very much, I'm closing with huge respect and admiration for the profession in which you work. Kindest regards, always.

My husband was admitted by fast track as I am disabled and no longer able to care for him when he was discharged from the general hospital. We could not have chosen a better place for him to spend his final days.
He, myself and family were looked after with care, dignity and exceptional feeling we
will always be grateful.
Thank you so much.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.729)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.729) out of 10 for Southborough Nursing 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 15 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 4.729 for Southborough Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (134 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 170 Ratings = 4.729

  • 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 Southborough Nursing Home is based on 15 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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, which has been reached with 15 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.

Kamal Gill

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2022

I am delighted at my appointment as a Home Manager at Southborough Nursing Home. I’ve been within the care industry for 12 years, in which I have managed a nursing home with nursing and Dementia care. I did my nursing in India and completed my BSC Hons in Nursing from Surrey University at Guilford. I enjoy my role as a Home Manager and enjoy the fact that I am able to influence a difference to enhance the lives of the individuals who we are privileged to care for. I am always available and happy to help with the smooth running of all the departments at Southborough Nursing Home. I am looking forward to getting to know you all and meeting you in the near future.


On a personal level, I am married and have two wonderful girls named Manit and Seerat. I enjoy spending time with my family and my two daughters.


Constantin

Constantin Zidaru

Job Title: Deputy Manager

Joined: 2024

My name is Constantin Zidaru, and I am thrilled to introduce myself as the new Deputy Manager here at Southborough Nursing Home, part of the Future Care Group. It is a true honour to join such a dynamic team, and I am eager to contribute my skills and experiences to our collective success.


A bit about my background: I bring over 14 years of experience in Health and Social Care within Care homes. In my previous roles, I've had the opportunity to work as a Deputy Manager alongside experts in safeguarding, nurse practitioners, and individuals with extensive experience in managing care homes. These experiences have provided me with a strong foundation in supporting vulnerable adults while also facilitating the support and development of staff.


As Deputy Manager, I am committed to fostering a collaborative and supportive environment where each team member feels empowered to excel. I believe in the power of communication, transparency, and teamwork to overcome challenges and achieve our goals. As Deputy Manager, my priority is to ensure that every decision we make revolves around the well-being and happiness of our residents and enhance their quality of life. I am able to recognise the importance of family and community in the lives of our residents. Therefore, it is essential to have collaboration and open communication with families, as well as engagement with the wider community, which enriches the care experience.


On a personal level, I was born in Romania, I came to the UK in 2009 and I became a British Citizen in 2021. I have three children and my hobbies are photography and technology. I have two degrees, one in management economics and one in adult nursing (the nursing degree was obtained in the UK at Brighton University).

In my personal time, I enjoy spending quality time with my wonderful husband, exploring the beauty of the UK, fishing, and enjoying delightful picnics.


I truly believe that the world becomes a better place when we care for one another, and I find profound fulfilment in contributing to a nurturing care environment.


Shobha

Shobha Lakshminarayan

Job Title: Lifestyle Lead

I am grateful for my role as Lifestyle Lead at Southborough Nursing Home, part of the Future Care Group. I love interacting with the residents – adding some positive energy and joy to their day is a gratifying experience. As part of my role, I create fun activities for our residents with music, and movements and constantly seek to add something new to our activity calendar with their input. Seeing them smile and being part of moments where they share a lovely thought or reminisce about their lives has been wonderful and makes me think of the words “Love what you do, and you never work a day in your life”.


I may sing for one resident, dance with another and laugh loud with a third and have a deep conversation with another – a potpourri of a day – and I get to be myself through it all, which is the best part! I love being in the moment with them and strive to treasure special memories on camera to be shared with families and on social media! My role involves making special occasions memorable and fun for the residents, and this is not possible without the support of the wonderful team here at Southborough Nursing Home, which is what makes this a great place to work – everyone cares!
