I can only give the whole team at Tupwood Gate Nursing Home a 5 star recommendation. From the moment we phoned up desperate to get our Dad placed there due to a fall my mother had they were beyond great. Nothing was too much of an issue and they got us in late in the evening. All the staff that helped
were brilliant. It was the first time for our dad and he was rightly quite anxious but again the staff were so good he felt right at home. Indeed, he asked for an extra week because he enjoyed it so much. Thank you Tupwood Gate.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience of Tupwood Gate, and for your recommendation. It is our privilege to care for your Dad and support the family at an important time. Best wishes to you and the family.

Mum was admitted to Tupwood Gate following a fall for rehab. Mum became very unwell and prepared for EOL care, all the care staff were so kind and empathetic during this time. Mum made a miraculous recovery and planned for discharge home. My sister and myself were made to feel like family, nothing was
too much trouble and Mum was so well cared for, she has a great relationship with the staff. I am so grateful for the time spent at Tupwood Gate, I could be her daughter and was able to spend quality time with my lovely Mum. I can never thank the staff enough for all their kindness, support, laughter, sympathy and understanding. I was very sad the day Mum was discharged, I will really miss the staff, they really cared for Mum, as well as fantastic support from the management, they always made an effort to see Mum and check on her progress, what a brilliant team, if I had the choice I would have chosen for Mum to be cared for at Tupwood Gate as she loved her time there and will miss all the staff.

I can't thank Tupwood Gate management and staff enough for all the help and genuine care that they gave to my mum. Even though Mum was only there for 36 hours before sadly passing away, everyone treated her and my family with the utmost respect, understanding and all with the most gentle touch, as if
we had known them for years, not days. My only wish is that Mum could have experienced everything that Tupwood has to offer. I highly recommend and rate Tupwood Gate.

The staff could not have been more helpful, thoughtful, caring, kind, considerate, informative, and reassuring. First time I've needed respite for my mum as her carer I was in hospital myself and they did everything to help as I was very unwell and without communication from my end was difficult. They
liaised with staff from hospital for me. I was able to not worry and just concentrate on getting myself better. Mum had a lovely stay and she is going back again next week while I go away for some rest myself before my surgery.

Mum was cared for at Tupwood Gate during the last few months of her life. I commend all the staff on the care and kindness with which Mum was treated. As frequent visitors we got to know all of the staff including cleaners, maintenance, carers and nursing staff; without exception all were professional,
friendly and understanding. The quality of GP support in the home was exceptional.

It was the first time I had taken a respite break and was very concerned. As soon as we were welcomed into this lovely care home I felt at ease. My husband was looked after with great care and kindness and the staff are so friendly and seem to go the extra mile. Lovely gardens and comfortable and warm.

Mum was a resident at Tupwood Gate for 2 years, after admission with reduced mobility and vascular dementia. The care she received from all staff was wonderful. She had a lovely relationship with many of the carers, activities and nursing staff who were clearly fond of her. She was always treated with
great respect and staff looked after her as if she was their own relative. It was very touching to watch.
As frequent visitors to the home over her stay our family were also welcomed into the “family” of Tupwood. Everyone knew us by name and knew who we were visiting, even from the start of her stay. We were informed of any significant events and if we had concerns these were handled with care and compassion. On occasion, we needed to talk to someone and have a shoulder to cry on. Senior staff were professional and so caring. When Mum eventually died, the care of her and us was wonderful and personal to our needs and wishes. This is an extraordinary home with extraordinary staff.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My Mother was in Tupwood Gate for around 10 months until she returned home in February 2024. She didn't need nursing care as such, as she went in originally for respite care, to cover a holiday, as she had a UTI, which meant that temporarily she was unable to look after herself, the extension of her
stay was due to unforeseen circumstances. The staff at Tupwood were all very friendly and kind. They were very concerned for Mum's safety and well-being throughout her stay. It takes a while for most people to settle into a home, and the staff were understanding of this.
Mum occasionally said she would have liked more variety with the food, but I think changes had been made in the last few months she was there.
There were activities most days which Mum joined, she made friends with the other residents and, although happy to be going home, she will miss it there.

Thank you very much indeed for all the care, attention - and indeed love - that you have shown my father during his stay as a resident at Tupwood Gate Nursing Home. He felt truly at home and completely comfortable in his room and was very happy to be part of the “Tupwood Gate family”.
Thank you also

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.908)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.908) out of 10 for Tupwood Gate Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.908 for Tupwood Gate Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (248 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 273 Ratings = 4.908

  • 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 Tupwood Gate Nursing Home is based on 23 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 35 registered maximum number of service users is 7, which has been reached with 23 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.

Job Title: Service Manager

Joined: 2024

I'm Busi and I joined Cygnet in 2003 as a care support worker. In the same year I was promoted to a senior care support worker and decided to complete my nurse training as a mental health nurse in Anglia Ruskin University. After completing the qualification, I returned to Old Leigh House to complete a preceptorship. After lots of training and building experience, I became the Registered Service Manager for the same service.


I then held a number of roles outside of the organisation to acquire more skills in nursing, including being a Registered Manager in a Nursing Home for the elderly. I returned to Cygnet in July 2020 as Service Manager at Old Leigh House. In 2024 I took on a new role as a Regional Manager where predominately supported Tupwood Gate Nursing Home, before becoming the Service Manager for Tupwood later that year.

I joined Tupwood Gate in November 2009 as a registered nurse, I was made deputy manager in December 2021. I enjoy providing our residents with the support they need to make their lives as enjoyable and as comfortable as possible with the dignity they deserve.


I enjoy supporting the staff team and take staff welfare very seriously. The thing I like most about Tupwood Gate is the teamwork and inclusivity. Everyone is treated with fairness and respect. We feel empowered by Cygnet to step up when we need to.

Owen Davies

Job Title: Registered Nurse

Joined: 2021

have been working at Tupwood Gate Nursing Home since November 2021. For most of my adult life I was employed in manufacturing, I studied engineering in the late 70s and early 80s. During a St. John First Aid course, I was inspired to consider a career change to nursing. I qualified as a nurse in 2014 having studied for a diploma at Surrey University.


Initially, I was employed in the acute sector before moving into adult rehabilitation and elderly frail care. Having been offered a position as a registered nurse at Tupwood Gate, I decided to commence working for Cygnet Health Care. What I like most about working at Tupwood Gate is that I get to know the residents and their families really well, something which has not always been possible in my previous nursing roles.


Working at Tupwood Gate is enjoyable: we have a good team here and the management is supportive of all staff. When I am not being a nurse I enjoy attempting cryptic crosswords, and visiting zoos and nature reserves, I have also been trying to learn Spanish for the last 30 years! I used to volunteer as a steward at Shakespeare’s Globe in London so theatre is another of my pastimes. Fun fact: my favourite animal is the Asian Short - Clawed Otter.
