Second time my husband has stayed for a week while I went abroad to see family. He gets confused in new surroundings, but staff looked after him very well and had great patience with him, managing to calm him down when he got agitated. Very satisfied.

I am so pleased that you and your husband decided to stay with us again at Bushey. I am equally delighted that your husband enjoyed his stay here. I will pass along your kind words to the team and we hope to see you both again.

My wife and I want to put in writing how delighted we were with the care given to my father at the home, particularly one member of staff, whose care and compassion for my Dad during his final two weeks was more than we hoped for. Also, one member of staff was just the most caring and considerate
listener and caregiver at such a difficult time. She made my wife feel heard and she clearly understood the needs of a man approaching the last few days of life. At this was a greatly difficult time for the family, Barchester Beaumont made my father's transition both peaceful and dignified. Many thanks.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5

Initial impressions were good, with the manager and staff pleasant and attentive. Costs were high but the location was good and we worked on the basis that alternative homes would not be that different in terms that of cost. Some niggles became apparent; extra charge for shower gel (at £1400 per week
surely this could be included). Some food spilt on the floor was not cleared up and was still there the following day. My mother, suffering from advanced Parkinson’s, was kept in bed all of the time, even after a discussion with the staff. We worked on the assumption that the professionals knew best and agreed.


When the cost went up by £100/week we started looking around and found another home, considerably cheaper, cleaner, brighter and the manager was clear that my mother should be out of bed every day. Since the move, my mother has been brighter, more communicative and has said she prefers the new place.

This is my second visit to the care home Bushey House Beaumont both times because I needed help and care as I live alone.
I have begun to regard Beaumont Care Home as being with lots of friends and I feel I'm amongst people who I seem to have got to know. Nothing seems to be any trouble when you ask
for any help. I consider myself very lucky to be with very kind and caring people. Thank you all.

His care was very good. I had no worries that he would be neglected, the staff were all lovely, the food delicious and highly personal care, also beautiful
surroundings.

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.
