Mum, unfortunately, needed to go into care during a challenging time for everyone, but the care and attention she has received from all the amazing carers at Trowbridge Oaks has been second to none. The nurses are incredible, going above and beyond to support Mum and the relationship between Mum and
her carers is lovely. We had never anticipated having to contemplate a care home and certainly, Mum was always very independent and wanted to stay in her own home. Now, she feels safe and secure which is an immense relief for me. Mum’s happy, I’m happy, what more is there to say.

I write to praise the care that the team at Trowbridge Oaks have given my mother, over the last two and a half years that she has lived at the home.
The lockdown has presented many challenges, and the staff have risen to each one.
My mum was 90 on the 10th of June this year. Due to current restrictions,
we were obviously not able to celebrate the day with her.
The staff were again brilliant, they made her feel very special, made a real fuss of her, which she loved.
There were bunting, balloons and a fabulous cake made by the kitchen staff.
The family sent her a video wishing her well, which was played to her on several occasions, and we had the opportunity throughout the day to see her and chat through a video link. I have not seen her so happy for ages.
After the day was over the home sent through photos and video footage of the day.
It made what was destined to be a sad occasion into a happy one for my mum and the entire family.

Since the Covid-19 pandemic, Trowbridge Oaks initially organised sending email pictures and generally keeping me in the loop and within a month started weekly Facetime calls with my mother (she is getting used to the tech now). I would like to thank all the staff at Trowbridge Oaks for their hard work
during this very difficult, extraordinary time they find themselves in, not to mention how hard it must be explaining to the residents why no relative visitation.
With Covid-19 aside I have always found staff friendly and helpful and when things maybe don't quite go as planned they are receptive to what everyone's needs are.
Thank you to the whole team and hope we can get back to somewhere close to normality soon.

Dad has been in Trowbridge Oaks since the beginning of the year and we have all been very impressed with all the care he has received. From the initial enquiry, through to moving in, the administration and communication was excellent and really put our minds at ease. Since then, the care he has received
on a daily basis has been outstanding and we are so glad that we took the decision to move him there. The friendly, experienced and approachable nurses are always available to discuss his health and general well-being with us and all of the carers work hard to make sure he is comfortable and very well looked after. The home is always immaculately clean and the food is excellent. In addition, the entertainment at the home is very well planned and enjoyable, for relatives and residents.
Although it has been very difficult for us not to see Dad during the lockdown, we have been reassured by regular FaceTime calls over the past few months and we know that he is getting the best care.

Trowbridge Oaks have taken great care of my mother for a couple of years now. She is 97-years-old with great physical needs, and her care has been exemplary. The staff are all supportive and loving, helping her with all her daily needs. As a family, we could no longer physically take care of her,
and Trowbridge Oaks staff have stepped in to do everything necessary to provide the round-the-clock care we could no longer provide. We are confident she is surrounded by people who genuinely care for her and give her all the loving support they can. The care doesn't stop with the nursing routine but includes a regular variety of entertainment which she can join in whenever she wishes.
When the Covid-19 pandemic began to hit the UK, Trowbridge Oaks quickly shut the home down to visitors, thus ensuring maximum safety of residents. They have had no cases of the virus, thanks to this rapid shut-down and constant vigilance. Family video calls were quickly established which are wonderful.

My father as been here for the end of life care on Monday 20th January. He has settled in very well and the care he is receiving is brilliant. All the staff that work here are great. Nothing is too much trouble. Communication with the nursing staff is very good and they are very sensitive to our concerns
and feelings. At least I can go home knowing my dad is being cared for and is in the best place.

I spent the day with Mum and had a great time. Thank you all for your hard work. The day time activity was fantastic, the food was really yummy and Mum enjoyed hers. The staff team are truly amazing - the respect shown to residents is inspiring and an example to other services. I can see that my mum
is happy and content and this is all I could ask for.

Sensitivity towards my husband as a person, prompt responses to his needs, good communication with family, were all part of his care during his final weeks.
It is a consolation to us all to know that so much was being done, consistently to try to alleviate his suffering. Thank you.

We found the home in very good condition, rooms are comfortable each with TV and radio. The staff are very approachable and willing to answer any questions.
Even though my friend has now passed we still attend every Monday morning. The management has said we are welcome to attend and we enjoy going
there. I would recommend this home to anyone!

My mother in law has been at the home for just over four years now and suffers from end stage dementia.
In the time spent there she has been well looked after by very caring staff.
A lot of the staff have been there during the four years which I think is imperative as they know her and understand
her.
Constant turn over of staff is not good for patients or morale of the home.
I cannot fault the staff for their care but would like to see management out and about seeing residents and their visiting families.

My mum chose Trowbridge Oaks for palliative care, mainly because it was nearest to us, but we are glad she did, all members of staff here made her last few months as good as they could have, she was treated with compassion, kindness and dignity throughout her residence, even though she was not easily
pleased, she did not faze any of them, we are eternally grateful to them for this, mum was extremely happy here, when she passed in April, we were given exceptional care by every member of the team here. The condolences were genuinely heartfelt for our loss.

My husband stayed at the Oaks for a period of respite recently.
He was looked after very well by all the staff and shown such good kindness, care and attention.
His condition is quite complex and fluctuates throughout the day but the staff were prepared for this and coped extremely well with all his
needs.
He seemed happy and content and appeared to have enjoyed his stay.
I am so grateful to the staff for making this such a positive experience for him.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.648)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.648) out of 10 for Trowbridge Oaks Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.648 for Trowbridge Oaks Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (160 Excellents x 5) + (65 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 233 Ratings = 4.648

  • 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 Trowbridge Oaks Care Home is based on 20 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 52 registered maximum number of service users is 10.4, which has been reached with 20 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.

Linda Watts

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2008

I have been a care home manager within Bupa for many years – working at care homes in Shockerwick, Chippenham and Cirencester. I joined the team at Trowbridge Oaks in January 2022.


Before I become a care home manager, I was deputy manager in one of our Bupa care homes for 2 years.
I qualified as a registered nurse in 2002. I trained and worked in Salisbury Hospital and then moved into the care home sector. I always wanted to work in a care home due to my experiences as a young child visiting the care home which my aunt and uncle owned. In my teenage years, I helped care for my grandmother which further confirmed that I wanted to become a nurse.
What I enjoy most about working in care services is being able to help others, whether that be residents, family members or my colleagues, and the satisfaction that this brings. No day is the same and I am grateful that I get to work in an environment that is person and family-centric.


I live locally to the care home – in Westbury.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my daughter and partner.


I have a passion for anything science fiction and I love visiting theme parks with my family.

I have a hospital background, with years of experience as a registered nurse. I made the decision to move to the care sector and fell in love with it.


I enjoy the challenge and responsibility of providing the right level of care for our residents and I find the experience very rewarding.

Job Title: Activity Co-ordinator

Joined: 2002

I have worked at Trowbridge Oaks for 21 years. Prior to this, I was a regional manager for John Lewis warehouses in London. I started a family and relocated to Wiltshire. I wanted a change of career and saw the vacancy at Trowbridge Oaks. I wanted to help people and thought the role would bring me more job satisfaction.


I love working with the residents, learning about their history and the lives that they have lived. Every resident has a different story and it is an honour to serve these people.


I live in Trowbridge. I have a lovely wife and two wonderful children. I like walking in the countryside and spending time with my family.

Job Title: Activities Co-Ordinator

Joined: 2024

Before working with Bupa, I was working in the Health and Wellbeing sector through Dance and Holistic Massage. I have always been passionate about person-centred work and about helping people access a better quality of life. My Grandad was in a care home for the end of his life and seeing the team at his care home look after him inspired me to look for work in the care sector. The best part about the job is the people! I’m enjoying connecting with the residents, trying to understand what would bring them joy and fulfilment, as well as hearing about their lives. Our staff team is really welcoming, friendly and hard-working and I’ve loved being embraced into the heart of the home by everyone

I loved getting to engage with my customers. I then became a manager in a canteen for around 2 years. After which I started at Trowbridge Oaks as a kitchen assistant and worked my way up.


What I enjoy the most about my job is that every day is different. The most enjoyable bit about working in care services is knowing that everything you do is helping others. It’s also an honour to work with people that are so kind and make you smile everyday and to know what you do is always appreciated.

I have worked in the retail/hire trade for the last 10 years as an accounts/finance administrator and prior to that I worked for a charity that helped disadvantaged people get back into work and to lead more independent lives.


While working at the charity I felt I was making a difference to the lives of the clients we were helping and I felt I could continue to make a difference when I moved to the care sector.

Chloe

Chloe Parfitt

Job Title: Housekeeping Supervisor

Joined: 2022

I have worked for Bupa since April 2022 but have been working in this new role as a housekeeping supervisor since June 2024.


I started as a care assistant at Trowbridge Oaks and I did this for around a year and a half then I decided I wanted to do a bit of housekeeping as well as care so I did a bit of both for a few months but then I made the decision to fully come off of care to go fully into housekeeping in March 2024, this is what lead me to my current role as a housekeeping supervisor.


I originally started my first ever job in a care home setting when I was 18, I started as a housekeeper in a care home but after a few months of working in the care home I found myself wanting to be on the care side more so that’s what started my journey as a carer off and I have worked in a few homes as a care assistant and even once in the community as a senior care assistant before I found my job at Trowbridge oaks.


The thing I enjoy most about working in the care home is spending time with all the residents and their families ensuring they have everything they need and helping to create a nice, homely environment.


I live locally to Trowbridge in Westbury with my partner and our dog. Outside of work, I have a passion for nails, so I also do nails for people from my little salon in my house and have been qualified in nail treatments since June 2023.
