  • Culverhayes Nursing Home, Bath
Culverhayes Nursing Home was originally Culverhayes School. It occupies a prime position at the highest point of Lymore Avenue, with spacious grounds and stunning views of Bath.

The home has three separate wings dedicated to care and support to meet the varying types and levels of need of the people living in the home.

The Cherryblossom GF/FF and Bluebell Wings are environments for mental disorder and/or dementia. The Cherryblossom FF Wing is designed primarily for dementia care for those in the middle to late stages of dementia, who might require extra support.

The home has been decorated to enable stimulation and orientation and the grounds contain safe and secure areas enabling Residents to move freely. Residents have the convenience of a local corner shop, which is frequently visited for everyday items. The adjacent playing grounds also contribute to the real community atmosphere surrounding Culverhayes.

Long or short-term care, respite, convalescence, and placement care is offered to those that need specialist care, and palliative care can also be provided.

I have nothing but praise for the care my husband receives, in my view the friendly + smiling staff do a very difficult job with respect, dignity + compassion, they are always alert and attentive to the residents and visitors needs. They also check that I am ok. I feel less stressed that he is well
cared for.

My Friend has been at Culverhayes nursing home for nearly 3 years. The care she gets is great from all the staff are so friendly and caring. The food is lovely well balanced and good choice menu is change regularly so keeps meal time intresting. Over the last 3 years the home has gone through an amazing
transformation by there own team of trades people making it a bright and lovely environment for the residents.The gardens are lovely for a afternoon in the sun with my friend. The wellbeing staff are always coming up with entertainments to help the residents to relax and enjoy life. The house keeping team keep the place clean, and the residents cloths washed daily, so they always look there best. I could not have have found a better place for my friend.

I really cannot praise the staff in this home enough, they are caring, and patient with the residents, it almost brings a tear to my eye every time I visit to see how they are with them all. Dealing with dementia must be such a challenging role and I don't know how they do it day in and day out.
We
haven't met a single member of staff that have not given their all to provide the best possible level of care.
I could single out individuals but they are all so fantastic.

I had visited this facility several years ago to visit a friend with dementia. I found the facility 'dull', lacking features of interest and rather depressing. On my recent visits to see a friend, who has now passed away, I found the place very different - much more interesting, well staffed, secure
and caring. May I thank all the staff I met for their 'caring approach' to the resident.

All the staff I met were just so kind, caring, polite and respectful to my friend and me. There was no "rush" in any aspect of the conversation the staff had with my friend or me.
My friend is so genuinely cared for, even loved. I have complete confidence my friend is safe, secure and respectfully
looked after. I used to be a nurse, and I can assure you Culverhayes is doing its job 100%.

Reply from Sony Joseph, Culverhayes Home Manager at Culverhayes Nursing Home

Hi Claire, thanks a million for your kind words and ongoing support. We, at Cedar Care, believe that the best care happens in a family-oriented environment. Where everyone supports each other for their betterment. Love, affection, kindness and compassion are the themes one experiences in our family, which is also called Culverhayes Nursing Home.

My wife was a resident with quite advanced dementia for nearly 6 months. She passed away with flu on 23rd December. The care she received was of a high standard. The staff were without exception very skilled and friendly. The food provided was plentiful and very good. My wife lost her mobility but nothing
was too much trouble for staff. I visited every day whilst she was there so I am well placed to assess the home. I am so grateful for care and kindness given to me in such a stressful and upsetting time. I am heartbroken now.

My wife has been in this home with quite severe Dementia, for around a year now. There were teething problems to begin with, now she has settled down with the way of life there. I am more than happy with her care, from management to the care she receives from the carers. The food is good and they seem
to be doing improvements all the time. I would recommend this care home to anyone considering putting their loved ones into care.

Very friendly and caring staff, they went over and above to help me help my sister and to have a lovely afternoon after driving so far to see her. With each visit, I could see how they kindly looked after the residents and there was a good, calm atmosphere with quiet, relaxing music playing. A reasonable-sized
garden with plenty of firm chairs for the summer.

My partner can be very difficult to help as she has many different problems, but the staff at Culverhayes are absolutely amazing, they are understanding helpful and most of all caring. They try and assist you with any questions that you might have, the manager's door is always open for any questions
concerning your loved one or any problems that you may have. The staff that deal with my partner are just so friendly, you know when you are leaving the home that you are leaving your loved one in a safe and caring environment which believe me is worth more than words can say.
Obviously, it’s a home and every home has its minor problems which we all can relate to. When these problems arise the management is very quick to try and sort them and keep you informed on what’s happening. Just to say a massive thank you to all the staff and people involved with Culverhayes Care Home.

My mother-in-law has been a resident in several care homes, so I have experience with the service in all of them. In my opinion, Culverhayes is far and away the best I have seen. The staff are very pleasant and invariably helpful. Above all, they are cheerful - a very important consideration in this

Went to go visit my gran today and the two carers popped into her room and made sure she was okay and if she would like a drink and was extremely nice and made sure she was comfy and always asked if she was okay. Massive thank you to the two lovely ladies, I recommend this care home to anyone. The lady
came round with her food and asked if she wanted it cut up and explained what the food was to her and spoke to my gran in a very calming way. Just want to say a massive thank you to all the carers out there, you're doing an amazing job helping everyone.

I am very happy with the care my mother is receiving at the home, especially through all these difficult times. The staff are caring and attentive to my mother and indeed very responsive to our requests or concerns about my mother's welfare. The manager is approachable too and tries to accommodate my
mother's and our family's need to keep as much contact as possible in the very difficult circumstances of the pandemic. The organisation has been effective in limiting any spread of the virus in the home - I applaud the very hard work of the staff in this situation too - they are all indeed heroes too!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.706)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.706) out of 10 for Culverhayes Nursing Home 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.706 for Culverhayes Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (146 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 197 Ratings = 4.706

  • 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 Culverhayes Nursing Home is based on 17 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 65 registered maximum number of service users is 13, which has been reached with 17 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.
