My father spent 18 months here and from the very beginning the standard of care, particularly the nursing care, was abysmal. We wish we took the decision to move him out sooner, but the care home ''world'' was a new experience for us as a family and we took a lot on trust. I would not recommend staying
here long or short term, such was the unsatisfactory nature of care and finger pointing lead by senior management (still there) when serious issues arose.

My mother has stayed in Bushey House Beaumont three times now, as a temporary resident and has always had the best care one could ask for. Medical care is always available, and all the staff could not be more kind and caring to her. We are very happy and have peace of mind knowing this home looks after
her so well. Thanks to all there.

This was my mother's second visit to Barchester Bushey House Beaumont and once again the staff and care have been excellent. Apart from the weekend when there were staff issues in the kitchen, the food was really good too.
There was always a good choice of entertainment and they tried to include my
mother whenever possible.

My father's respite stay provided him with the high level of care he needed from a team of kind, caring and supportive carers. The whole family were impressed by the care and attention he received to ensure every need was more than met. He enjoys the food, the company of the carers and the entertainment.
My family are grateful for everything they did to make his stay a positive one.

Two years ago living alone in the family home, I felt I was not safe there or when I went outside. I, therefore, came here. It has provided all I could desire and I would not wish to be anywhere else. There is a lot of love in this place.

The food and drink reflect the staff concerned operating without their kitchen or dining room for a material period, their performance was magnificent.

Our friend has been in this nursing home for four and a half years and has just celebrated her 90th birthday. The home provided a delicious spread for her special birthday, and the cake was amazing - well-done chef! The general manager has been exceptionally helpful, especially over the past months,
dealing with her funding. His staff are very kind, friendly and attentive, and our friend is really treated as 'one of the family.' She is happy at Bushey Beaumont and enjoys the food and nursing care. She is able to participate in some of the activities programmed and also enjoys time spent in the lovely, extensive gardens.

Mum was transferred here at the beginning of the year for palliative care and is now totally dependent on the carers. I have found everyone I’ve had dealings with to be extremely pleasant and helpful, and they genuinely seem to care about mum’s welfare. The home itself is lovely; it’s clean; it has
lovely grounds, and activities are available daily for those who wish to partake. Mum is obviously being well cared for and she seems to be as happy as she can be, given the circumstances.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.678)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.678) out of 10 for Barchester Bushey House Beaumont 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 39 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 37 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 4.678 for Barchester Bushey House Beaumont is calculated as follows: ( (346 Excellents x 5) + (83 Goods x 4) + (28 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 460 Ratings = 4.678

  • 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 Barchester Bushey House Beaumont is based on 37 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 37 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.
