Flawless and exceeding my expectations. From my first contact with the CRM to discuss the possibility of mum moving here - she immediately put my mind at ease with her professional and kind manner. The carer team are just wonderful - each and everyone of them is so kind, caring, patient and it is very
clear they love their job, the residents and their colleagues. This culture appears very strong and seems to be a results of the team spirit and team leadership. Also huge praise to the head chef.

Reply from Mandy MacKenzie, Customer Relationship Manager at Blenheim House Care Home

From everyone at Blenheim House, Thank you! I am delighted that your experience moving Mum in has been so positive. She is a delight to have as a resident, has settled in so well and is thriving with her new found confidence and independence and also the friends she has made since arriving.

A kindly gentle atmosphere for most of the time. I am made to feel special - cared for. All the carers are kind and gentle - there are several outstanding ones whom I will be sad to say goodbye to when the time comes. I think one member of staff, in particular, looks very tired at times - so we must
care for him while we can. The brilliant leader in every way - kind, considerate, gentle; we are so fortunate to have his wisdom with us nearly everyday. He is so wise - so caring - so strong; I have learned many things from him - all helpful and full of warmth. It has been a privilege to know so many special people - including the kind lady who taught us all we know.

My Mother was looked after at Blenheim house following Chemotherapy and a fall. The care she received was exemplary, not only was her medical needs taken care of but the team at Blenheim went above and beyond to make sure she was happy and comfortable, nothing was too much trouble.
They welcomed family
and friends when visiting with open arms and warm hospitality.
My Mother has since returned to her home to live independently, without the care from the Blenheim House for three months, this would have been unthinkable.
So thank you for all your kindness, support and efforts you give each of the residents in your care and for making the transition from hospital to care home so easy, especially when so many family members are in a state of distress at a difficult time.

Reply from Mandy MacKenzie, Customer Relationship Manager at Blenheim House Care Home

Thank you so much for your lovely words and review. We loved having Jean here with us and she was such a joy to care for. We were sorry to see her leave us but delighted with her recovery after being so terribly poorly and we wish her all the very best at home. She will always be welcome at Blenheim House.

My mother and father arrived at Blenheim House Care Home during November last year and were immediately made to feel welcome and part of the family. My dad died soon afterwards and the staff couldn't have been more professional and caring. The staff seem, universally, to be enthusiastic and genuine
in what they do and I know my mum is happy with all aspects of her residency, especially the food. As family visitors, we too are always made to feel welcome.

Please do not be taken in by the free coffee, cakes, nice garden and the facilities on offer at this care home. The thing that was totally lacking during my wife's respite care was high quality care. My wife previously had stayed in two care homes which charged a lot less than Blenheim and the quality
of care was very high, be careful and do loads of research.

Reply from Mandy MacKenzie, Customer Relationship Manager at Blenheim House Care Home

Dear Mr C We are very sorry to receive your review and that you have been so disappointed in the care your wife received whilst at Blenheim House last year. I can assure you that your complaint was thoroughly investigated last September, and we have tried to invite you to meet with us to share our findings and assure you of our care standards. It is unfortunate that these were declined. Residents' care is always our priority here and we can only apologise again if you did not find this to be the case at Blenheim House.

My husband had excellent care throughout his time at Blenheim House Care Home. All staff, whatever their role, were kind, caring and respectful both to him and the family. Staff were always available to help in any way and we (family) were kept fully informed about everything.
The home has a welcoming,

My mum stayed at Blenheim House for two weeks respite to enable us to go on holiday. Right from the first encounter with the customer relations manager, he was friendly, reassuring and accommodating. All the staff were a credit to the care home and couldn't have been more friendly, caring and helpful.
My mum was very content during her stay and thoroughly enjoyed the numerous activities, especially the singing. We will definitely approach Blenheim House when my mum needs future care. Many thanks to everyone working there.

We are so pleased to have met your expectations of your mum's respite and glad that she had such a wonderful time during her stay with us.

Well, where do I start?
After viewing care homes in the local area, we came across Blenheim House Care Home and what a lucky find. My mother has Alzheimer's and safety and mental stimulation on a daily basis were a priority. We opted for two weeks of respite and Mum settled immediately. The staff are
friendly, happy and exceed expectations, so we decided for her to stay permanently. We have a lovely welcome whenever we visit and our dog loves it too. Thank you, Blenheim!

I can't speak highly enough of Blenheim House Care Home. From the admittance, Mum settled down straight away after 10 minutes of arriving, she was singing and dancing to the entertainment. It's honestly like a five-star hotel. Administration staff, food, activities and rooms are fantastic, there is
always somebody on hand to assist Mum. The gardens are wonderful, beautifully maintained, the standard of cleanliness is next to none. Very happy overall and so is Mum, she's safe, relaxed, stimulated and cared for extremely well.

I cannot praise the staff more at Blenheim House Care Home. Nothing has been too much trouble from the moment I got in touch with the customer relations manager to Mum becoming a resident. A very efficient process. Mum has settled well thanks to the dedicated staff who genuinely care for the residents.
My mum is cared for with dignity and compassion. The activity programme is varied, fun and carefully planned. The facilities are beautiful, spotlessly clean and well-maintained. Blenheim House has such high standards, it's outstanding, I couldn't ask for more.

Blenheim House Care Home feels a happy place, and after visiting several care homes, we knew that Mum deserved to be a resident at Blenheim. We were immediately impressed with the efficiency and knowledge of the Customer Relations Manager, and then his continued consideration throughout the admissions
process. Mum is now enjoying life again, thriving on the many activities and "being made a fuss of". For someone who was adamant that she would never enter a care home to say that "I wish I had come here a long time ago" is praise indeed. Thank you to the wonderful staff at Blenheim for allowing us to enjoy our Mum again.

Blenheim is wonderful. Everyone of the staff are so very friendly and welcoming. Moving to a care home for our 99-year-old father was a big decision but made so much easier with the efficiency of all the management and staff. A very special mention to the customer experience manager who made everything
so easy for us, nothing too much trouble and absolutely cares about all the residents and environment.

It was an honour to care for your father during his respite stay with us and we look forward to seeing him again for his next visit. Thank you for those kind words which I will share with our team and do contact us again for respite stays throughout 2024.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.693)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.693) out of 10 for Blenheim House Care 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 24 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 4.693 for Blenheim House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (232 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 287 Ratings = 4.693

  • 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 Blenheim House Care 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 85 registered maximum number of service users is 17, 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.
