Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

I found this home on my birthday and we moved mum to this home in May 2016 after experiencing problems in a previous home. She was in a sorry state.
The staff at Bletchley House have cared for her and loved her every day since. They helped bring her from the brink of death into a place where she was
almost "up and about" again.
2 weeks ago she had another stroke. She was not expected to survive. I practically moved in and they didn't complain, they allowed us to spend as much time with her as we needed.
The staff didn't give up on her. They have continued to care for her and love her. Today she started eating again - yet again brought from the very brink of death. We don't know how long for, but I do know that she will stay as Bletchley House until the end.


Yes, there are sometimes staff shortages, but ALL of the staff work extremely hard to ensure a consistent level of care.


I am proud to be able to give reference to the home as they have indeed been a blessing.

A lot of staff have left but are only slowly being replaced, so the use of agency staff is not ideal. Similar problems in the kitchen - the food is not as good as expected and they do not appear to have a proper chef yet.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.556)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.556) out of 10 for Bletchley House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 50 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 47 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 4.556 for Bletchley House is calculated as follows: ( (353 Excellents x 5) + (175 Goods x 4) + (35 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 565 Ratings = 4.556

  • 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 Bletchley House is based on 47 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 44 registered maximum number of service users is 8.8, which has been reached with 47 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.
