I attended the Jubilee afternoon tea in the grounds. The team were wonderful; they all worked hard to involve the residents with tea and beautiful cakes and sandwiches. They also joined in the entertainment and included the residents. Above all, they were happy and cheerful. My sister is in the advanced
stages of dementia; the staff treat her with love and respect and for her to join in with the afternoon was a tonic. Thank you.

Reply from Catherine Crawshaw, Customer Relationship Manager at Barchester Badgeworth Court Care Home

Thank you so much for taking the time to review Badgeworth Court and our Jubilee event. We are delighted to be able to hold events for our residents and their families; it is so important for everyone to be there, and it sounds like you had quality time together enjoying the celebrations.

A special thank you to the activities coordinator who had arranged a lovely Birthday treat for my Mum and her family today. A lot of thought had been put into making Mum’s day enjoyable, and we all enjoyed tea and a delicious cake prepared by the chef.

Reply from Catherine Crawshaw, Customer Relationship Manager at Barchester Badgeworth Court Care Home

Thank you so much for the kind comments about Mum's Birthday celebration. We very much want to make every occasion special, and we love celebrating resident birthdays; it is also a lovely opportunity for the residents to get together for a celebration and pass on their good wishes.

I live too far away to visit on a regular basis, so most of my contact with Badgeworth Court is by email or phone. Whenever I call, whoever answers the phone is always friendly and helpful. The staff are very caring and always willing to answer my questions and keep me informed on how my brother is
doing.
I love getting photos of my brother from the activities department. They do a wonderful job with all the activities and programs they provide to all the residents.
Thank you.

Reply from Catherine Crawshaw, Customer Relationship Manager at Barchester Badgeworth Court Care Home

Thank you very much for your kind comments. It is so good to hear all your contact with the home is so positive and that we are keeping you updated, it is very much our ethos as we know there are often relatives some distance away. We are always here to answer any questions and to support our families as much as our residents.

Having now been a resident for just over a year; improved by the cleanliness of the premises, the quality and quantity of food. The staff is ever helpful and considerate. An observation rather than criticism, one has difficulty understanding some of the staff. They naturally speak quickly, and having
to wear a mask, creates difficulty at times. I consider myself fortunate to be here.

Amazing end of life care, all the staff supported my Mum through this difficult time. The staff cared so well for Dad, they made sure he was as comfortable as possible and so many little touches like they always combed his hair after his personal care. My Mum's photo was always positioned where he could
see it. He would have the music he loved playing in his room. My Mum was able to visit the last few days which she was so grateful for. After his passing, my Mum visited and the staff had put his blanket over him which had our family photos on, this really pleased my Mum and was such a lovely touch. Thanks for the amazing care you all gave to Dad throughout his time with you. It was so hard being unable to visit due to C19, but the daily Skype and using the visiting suite helped and knowing you all care about him, put our minds at rest. The staff are so friendly and would always take time for a chat with us, or a wave or smile if they were busy with other residents.

Since coming to this care home last year I have been impressed by many things here. My room is lovely and all the staff and carers are so kind and nothing is too much to ask of them. Since the pandemic started and the dreadful winter weather followed, everyone has helped to keep all of our spirits up!
The vaccination programme was very well organised for which I am very grateful.

From my visits to see Dad at Badgeworth Court, it is clear that the team in all departments at the home are friendly and take a real interest in supporting their residents. The activities team are always looking at what can be done to help spark the resident's interest and have previously asked me for
photos etc to use at the men's club and for general activities. This all helps to help spark memories such as cars and cycling which Dad always loved to be involved with. It's comforting to know that your loved one is being cared for, especially at a time under lock-down when visits have to be restricted. The home introduced a safe indoor visiting environment and also offer family Skype calls. Sadly Dad's attention span is short so this style of visits don't always work too well. The fact that we can still see him remotely or through a perspex screen though is really appreciated and we're looking forward to warmer weather and the opportunity to meet him in the lovely gardens again.

My mum moved here after a fall and a spell in hospital last summer. I am very happy with the care she receives. The carers are lovely to Mum and the nurses and manager responsive to enquiries and any concerns. Covid has limited Mum’s options as has everyone else’s but the visits and Skype calls are
welcomed. The staff make every effort to accommodate these. Mum has a lovely room looking out on a patio area and enjoys watching the birds and squirrels who come to visit her bird table. Hopefully, she can engage with other residents and activities more when Covid restrictions are lifted. In the current circumstances, we as a family are satisfied that she is safe and well cared for.

I/we can't fault the care my mother has received. The staff is so patient with her and her needs. The food choice and quality is excellent. On her birthday it was lovely to have lunch with her (three courses) in a special dining room decorated for her birthday with family members able to attend. The
gardens around the care home are beautiful. The nursing, administration, and management team are very caring and always available. All in all, I would recommend Badgeworth Court.

The staff at Badgeworth Court are dedicated to caring for the residents. The level of care and support my father has received, particularly during the very challenging times of the pandemic, has been first class. Communication from the home's management has been regular and clear and the use of video
calls has been invaluable to keeping in touch whilst unable to visit in person.

Both my grandparents are now residing together at Badgeworth Court and as a family we cannot thank the home enough for their care and kindness. The staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. My grandparents recently celebrated their 69th wedding anniversary during the lockdown and despite
us being unable to share this precious moment with them the team at Badgeworth made sure the anniversary didn’t go by without a celebration and shared the amazing pictures with the family. It’s those little things that create lasting memories and what make Badgeworth such a special place.

I am a private carer for a 93-year-old lady who fancied a change of scenery, and a change from day to day home life.
Badgeworth was at the top of our list for a short four-week stay for some rest bite. The care my client received during her stay was fantastic. The staff and carers here were very friendly,
they went above and beyond to make sure her stay was enjoyable. Great daily activities, beautiful grounds, and a fabulous variety food menu.
I will definitely recommend this outstanding place to other people.

Since a change of management a little while ago, it has become a very impressive place in every way, run with efficiency, kindness and humanity. That has made such a difference to my peace of mind in being separated from my mother during the Covid-19 pandemic. I am grateful too for the time and effort
the activities manager put into making it possible for me to have my first video call with my mother when I am a novice. Nothing was too much trouble - a hallmark of the home in general.

Badgeworth Court is a lovely care home in beautiful gardens. The nursing and care team are like a family. They all treat my mum with respect and dignity. My mum settled really well into Badgeworth Court. The manager is extremely efficient and always makes time to talk to us. The facilities are great
and my mum loved the visit by the therapy dog and baby owl.

Staff and management are excellent. You can drop in any time day or night unannounced and the staff always treat residents in a friendly and professional manner, even when they may be in the next room and are unaware you are around, which is reassuring, and they have enough staff to ensure a good and
safe level of care is offered at all times with a friendly atmosphere amongst the staff and no obvious tensions.
Staff and management go out of their way to accommodate residents preferences even when they lack capacity and the chef will make a special effort to adjust the menu to suit.
My mother has been at Badgeworth now for some 6 and a half years with severe dementia and whilst she expressed a wish not to go into a care home before she lacked capacity and things at home became too difficult, even with professional care, she actually settled in at Badgeworth very well and was much happier than she had been in her own home.

What a lovely homely place with lovely smiley staff. I have already picked my room for the future. I went to the Christmas Fayre which was very good I had a look around and met some of the residents and was touched by the way the staff interacted with the residents. Would definitely recommend this place.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.470)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.470) out of 10 for Barchester Badgeworth Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.470 for Barchester Badgeworth Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (238 Excellents x 5) + (111 Goods x 4) + (25 Satisfactorys x 3) + (15 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 389 Ratings = 4.47

  • 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 Badgeworth Court Care Home is based on 30 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 30 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.
