Mum has been a resident at Bickerley Green since June this year. We couldn't have picked a better place for her to live. The staff are excellent, they always make time for us, whether we have a query or just to have a chat. They are very tuned in to mum's needs and requirements. There is something going
on every day, whether it's singing, knit and natter, films to watch or crosswords/quizzes. Visitors are encouraged to join in too! There are lots of other events going on throughout the year, The Christmas Fayre and Bickfest (2 day music festival) to name a couple. Residents also go out too, to the garden centre or to see the Remembrance poppy display in the town. Nothing is too much trouble, if ever there has been a problem the staff contact me immediately and keep me up to date with what's going on. The food is lovely too! We are very happy with mum's care at Bickerley, and are very pleased that she is well cared for and that the staff treat her as if she was their own relative.

I was absolutely devastated when I was unable to care for my mum at home after she had lived with us for 7 years. I honestly feel now that I couldn’t have found anywhere better for her to be. It has probably taken my mum about 6 months to settle and accept I was unable to care for her properly on my
own and the staff are absolutely amazing with my mum. The manager and all the staff truly care. The staff who organise all the events do an amazing job. All the family are made very welcome at any time. (We are putting our names down so we can come here too.) Thank you Bickerly Care Home.

My review covers the last two and a half years my mother has been a resident at Bickerley. The care she has received has been amazing, notifying me immediately of any problems regarding her health and well-being. To her, the staff have become a very close family, extending to some of their family. When
visiting, feel that I also belong having made friends with the staff. Feel at home as it is my mother’s “home”.
Thank you, everyone.

My mum is a current resident at Bickerley Green and was nervous about going into a nursing home. The staff here are so caring, kind and attentive and have helped her settle in really well. They’re so reassuring and supportive to Mum, myself and my brother. What a lovely nursing home. It’s lovely and
clean, bright and welcoming with lots of activities on offer for the residents. The food is great and Mum loves her room and feels safe and cared for. Thank you to everyone at Bickerley Green for your kindness and care.

Bickerley Green Nursing Facility cared for my mother for the last 3 years of her life. I cannot recommend them highly enough. The staff were all absolutely incredible. The nursing staff and carers were professional always aware of how she was. My mother was treated with care, patience and the most amazing
kindness that went above and beyond. A welcoming kindness and politeness that was extended to family and friends when they visited her or phoned.
The home was always clean and tidy, as was she and all her clothes. The kitchen served balanced food that was adapted to her needs when necessary and even a birthday cake on her birthday.
The home also exerted themselves in making sure the residents were entertained with activities, garden parties and outings. They thought of everything.
There was never any doubt about how much my mother liked all of the staff and how truly happy she was and the total peace of mind I felt knowing how well she was treated.
Thank you all at Bickerley Green.

Mum is a resident in the care home since August 2023 to date. She has settled in very well and is very happy. The staff are all very friendly and make you feel very welcome, and nothing is too much trouble
for them. She has a lovely room and has some of her things from home in the room to make it
homely. She likes the food very much. The family are very grateful for the kindness of the staff shown to us and it is a relief to know she is being well looked after.

My mum is a current resident in this care home.
I cannot express my gratitude enough to the fantastic staff, they are so genuinely caring and kind.
My sisters and I were very reluctant and concerned about placing Mum in a nursing home but this place has taken all our worries away. The food is great,
Mum's room is lovely and the staff are so friendly and always doing activities with residents.
It is such a relief to know our mum is well cared for and looked after. None of the odours you would normally get in care homes, lovely and clean.

I can not in all honesty think of a better place for mum to be since being diagnosed with dementia. Everyone at the Bickerley is so attentive and caring with mum and with us her immediate family.
On that basis, I would like to personally thank them one and all for helping us turn this, the most negative
and challenging time for mum into a positive one
Thank you

After no longer being able to look after herself at home, my Mum moved into Bickerley Green in May 2020. Despite this being during the middle of the covid pandemic, all the staff always went above and beyond to ensure we could visit my Mum safely. Their communication with us as a family was always excellent,
and we always felt involved in the care my Mum received. Sadly, my Mum fell ill in March 2022 and unfortunately, she passed away after a short illness. Throughout her final days, the staff could not have been more kind and caring, not only to my Mum but also to us as a family. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and we cannot thank the amazing team at Bickerley for the outstanding care they provided.

Reply from Tracy Flint, Manager at Bickerley Green

Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure to support your mum during her time here and I'm so very proud of the staff who work here who provide the best quality care.

My Mother suffered several severe strokes in January 2019. As a result, she required 24-hour continuous nursing attention, and we were fortunate to find the Bickerley Green care home, to where she moved from hospital in March 2019 until, sadly, she died in April 2020. The care that she received was
wonderful, and the quality and compassion from all of her carers was universal. The atmosphere of the care home was friendly and open as much as it was possible, and this was from everyone associated with the care home, from carers to administration. There was great attention paid to activities for all of the residents, if at all possible, even if that was only to have a quiet chat. My Mother was very happy there, and we are grateful to all of the staff for their contribution to making the final months of my Mother's life comfortable.

I just spent a few days visiting my elderly parents in Bickerley Green. Without exception, I found the staff cheerful, patient and caring. Many of the patients can be demanding often for reasons beyond their control, but I never heard the slightest sign of impatience from any staff member. They work
as a team, sharing a laugh and helping one another.
There were also a number of extras to cheer things up: photos and artwork on the walls, musical instruments, crayons and colouring in books, a well kept garden with bird feeders, and chairs and tables, and so on. I feel great peace of mind knowing my parents are getting far better care at Bickerley Green than anything I could offer them.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.258)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.258) out of 10 for Bickerley Green 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 7 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 4.975 for Bickerley Green is calculated as follows: ( (79 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 81 Ratings = 4.975

  • 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 4.283 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bickerley Green is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.583

  • 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.
