Thank you for looking after my mother in her final months to keep her comfortable and reassured during these different and difficult Covid-19 times. I could not ask for more from your team caring for her in her time of need, especially during her final days and hours. Thank you so much.

My husband has been in the Dementia wing for three months. He has Parkinsonism but is rarely helped with drinks. He has a very infrequent shower and shaves. He has only been taken to one of the organised 'entertainments' in the whole three months, so has hardly any mental or physical stimulation. I
have requested that we be taken to the dining room for lunch every day but this rarely happens so he rarely has a break from sitting in his room. He is bored and lonely.

Reply from Gail Stone, Senior General Manager at Barchester Wingfield Care Home

As the new General Manager, I'm sad to read your comments and understand you have met with Pam to discuss your concerns. We have reviewed your husbands care plans and detailing all the support he receives so we can discuss his daily activities with you on a regular basis. I look forward to meeting you on your next visit to provide you with the reassurance of how we can meet your expectations going forward.

You are never sure when you choose a nursing home for your loved one what it would be like! All I can say is I have never had any doubts about his care and wellbeing. I have got nothing but praise and love for everyone who looked after my husband. I think they are exceptional, kind and very passionate
about caring. I can't thank everyone enough. I love you all and I will miss you all. Thank you so much to you all love from me and my family

A really welcoming care home, excellent facilities, a comfortable well-furnished well run home. The staff all offer a high level of care and are very pleasant to speak to. My husband looks so much better after being at the Wingfield for just a week. I truthfully can find no fault. Thank you all.

It has been very difficult not being able to see my mum on a daily basis like I could before the start of the pandemic. However, it has been very reassuring to know that she has well cared for and safety has been the prime focus from everybody in Wingfield. Now I can visit she looks well and happy,
and if she's happy, I'm happy.

Reply from Peter Mason, General Manager at Barchester Wingfield Care Home

Hi, I can only agree that it has been a very difficult time since this pandemic started. Thank you for posting your thoughts and feelings and it is fantastic to be able to see so many families reunited and visitors again entering the home and that you found mum well cared for and safe. As you correctly state the safety of our residents has, is and always will be part of the prime focus along with the care they receive.

Reply from Peter Mason, General Manager at Barchester Wingfield Care Home

Thank you Edwin for taking the time to let us know your comments - Our activity's staff as with all staff continue to excel even during these difficult times, it is particularly nice to be able to pass on these comments to our activities staff as is often the case our support staff are often overlooked so it will give me great pleasure to pass on these valid comments.

My mother seems very happy at Memory Lane and I know she is thought very fondly of by the staff. She receives excellent care and I am confident she is well looked after. At times I have had concerns over staffing levels and the impact this could have on residents safety. I also feel like the decor/furnishings
have no comparison to the other home, which is beautiful inside. Memory lane seems to have been forgotten when it comes to the "wow" factor and is really in need of a revamp of furnishings and decoration.
Lastly, I can't praise the reception staff enough - Excellent.

Reply from Peter Mason, General Manager at Barchester Wingfield Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about our Home and the "excellent care" mum is receiving as are all our residents. We currently staff the floors above the national average and are always in line with or in excess of our the numbers dictated by our residents' needs. Unfortunately, the plans around the decor put in place over a year ago had to go onto a back burner when we and the rest of the world went into this pandemic. Pleased to be able to report that things are beginning to ease back to normal and we have already seen contractors on-site completing repairs and other plans are being made. I have passed on your comments to the reception staff who like the rest of the support staff do an excellent job day in and day out but are not always recognised.

Really pleased that 'in-room' visits have started again, as online and pod not quite the same. Dad seems well and well looked after and staff are always helpful.
Fewer activities owing to the pandemic situation, probably lead to less stimulating environment, but no doubt there will probably be more
now that restrictions are easing.

Reply from Peter Mason, General Manager at Barchester Wingfield Care Home

Hello and thank you for your kind words, it is with extreme pleasure that we were able to allow room visits once again and slowly, but safely return to some kind of normality. It really warms the heart to see people returning and hearing the laughter from some of the bedrooms. Our activity's programme has been adapted during the last 12 months or so and has been extensively supported by our colleagues in the Life enrichment team with concerts and visits arranged for the home via zoom. For those residents who prefer to remain in their rooms we take the activity's to them and weather permitting visits out to the garden - Please feel free to contact the home to discuss how you feel we can further enhance the activity's and engage your relative.

The very welcoming activities organiser has made it possible for me to make contact with my partner via Skype on a very regular basis. She assists him, and encourages him with care and humour, even joining in with our singing sessions. She has certainly helped to make this a precious means of contact
for us.

Reply from Peter Mason, General Manager at Barchester Wingfield Care Home

Hiya,
Thank you for your kind words, we are very proud of the work done by our activity's team and their tireless efforts to keep residents and family connected even during these troubled times. I will be sure your comments are received by the team.

My review is given at a difficult time, during the pandemic of Covid-19. The staff are very helpful if they have been made aware of the situation. The entertainment staff work so hard to keep the residents happy during this lockdown period. Entertainment is great at normal times. Food had been better
before the pandemic struck; since the kitchen has been made aware that everyone pays their own rates, things have got better. I believe the night staff are very caring. I believe the one big problem is that when people ring for help, staff (for whatever reason) make them wait a long time.

Reply from Gail Stone, General Manager at Barchester Wingfield Care Home

Thank you for your review. The staff at the Wingfield work really hard to ensure all residents feel happy, safe and comfortable at all times. Call bell response times are monitored to ensure timely replies to all resident's care needs.

In general, the care is good, but I would like to enjoy at least one meal per day. Because of the present restrictions, I was taken outside for two occasions when visitors came that is the only time in two and a half years I've not been in the garden.

I came to the care home following a fall and admittance with a fractured hip. From the first few days, I felt really secure with all the excellent staff. I think that I will be here for some while yet. I am happy to be here as I know everybody cares.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.695)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.695) out of 10 for Barchester Wingfield 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 54 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 51 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 4.695 for Barchester Wingfield Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (520 Excellents x 5) + (75 Goods x 4) + (18 Satisfactorys x 3) + (13 Poors x 2) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 637 Ratings = 4.695

  • 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 Wingfield Care Home is based on 51 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 89 registered maximum number of service users is 17.8, which has been reached with 51 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.
