The most wonderful and caring staff, they took care of my father so amazingly. He spent his last few months enjoying himself, feeling safe and happy. Every staff member went above and beyond to take care of his every need, attended activities with our family and worked hard every single day. I thank
Branksome Park Care Centre with all my heart and thank everyone so much for their efforts. I wish them all the best and happiness.

I visited a family friend who is staying at Branksome and was so impressed with the home. It was beautifully presented, with large airy rooms which felt very homely. All the carers and nurses were friendly and welcoming. My friend is very happy and appears to be receiving wonderful care. She has also
been telling me she is enjoying the activities that have been going on in the home which is making such a positive difference. Thank you to all the fab staff at Branksome Park!

The carers and nurses are very friendly and helpful. They are knowledgeable and conscientious. The laundry is excellent and they work very hard to provide a quick service. The kitchen staff are very helpful and will provide specialist menus if required. The home works hard to provide activities for
residents, outings and church services. The manager is excellent, friendly and very helpful.

Reply from Juliana Brasil, IT & Marketing at Branksome Park Care Centre

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.984)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.984) out of 10 for Branksome Park Care Centre 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 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.984 for Branksome Park Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (365 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 370 Ratings = 4.984

  • 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 Branksome Park Care Centre is based on 31 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 59 registered maximum number of service users is 11.8, which has been reached with 31 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.
