Bearwood Nursing Home is truly a home away from home. My dear mother, who has dementia and requires high levels of care, has been a resident here for the past five years. I have experienced nothing but love, compassion, and exceptional care from everyone at Bearwood.
I visit my mother daily, and I
always leave with peace of mind, knowing she is being cared for with the utmost dignity and respect. The management team are incredible - they always address any concerns with genuine care.
From the moment you step inside, you are greeted by the receptionist, who welcomes you with a warm smile and is always eager to assist. The dedication of all the staff is remarkable.
Bearwood goes above and beyond to create a vibrant and safe environment. Also, organize countless events/occasions to keep everyone engaged as one big family.
A well-deserved 5 stars- please keep up the excellent work! Thank you for everything you do.

My friend is always clean and tidy and looks well cared for. Staff are always there if you wish to ask questions. The home is always very clean and in my opinion, excellently managed. All staff are polite, pleasant and caring. They contact me immediately when necessary.

I was extremely pleased with the care Mom received during the two years she was a resident at Bearwood Nursing Home. During her final week, I stayed with her and not only was Mom's care good, I was also cared for throughout.
I found the carers and nurses very caring and hardworking.

We are very happy with the care my brother receives. All staff are very friendly and respectful. I attended the end-of-summer party which the manager had organised and saw great teamwork and most of all, residents and family members having the most fantastic time. Well done everyone, loved the ice cream
van, brought back lots of memories. Thank you.

My wife was in Bearwood Nursing Home for just over three years. Sadly, she passed away last October 2023. We were always satisfied with the care that my wife received while she was there and the staff were always polite, kind and helpful. Since then, I have continued to visit Bearwood Nursing Home every
week to keep in touch with our friends (the residents and staff). They always make me very welcome. I still feel like one of the family. I visit both the lounges and sit and chat with anyone who wants to natter. It helps me as much as them.

My sister is a resident at Bearwood Nursing Home and I visit her regularly.
I have found the nursing home to be very well-run with polite, friendly, supportive and helpful staff who treat the residents and their families with care and respect.
I am kept up to date regarding my sister's health and
well-being and staff are happy to answer any questions I may have.
Daily social events are organised for residents and on occasions, during the year family and friends are invited to the home for a special afternoon of entertainment.
There is a regular residents' family meeting where we are kept up to date with news and upcoming events. This is rounded off with a question and answer session for family to air their views, which is an excellent way of involving family.
My sister is a vegan and says she enjoys the choice of food she has and it is always nice.
From my point of view, I couldn't wish for a better home for my sister to be a resident in and I highly recommend it.
Five stars all round.

The nurses and caregivers were attentive, kind and always made sure my aunt felt comfortable and supported. The facility was clean, well-maintained and
had a warm, welcoming atmosphere. They provided excellent medical care while also fostering a sense of community through activities and social interaction. I highly recommend Bearwood Nursing Home for anyone seeking quality care for their loved ones.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.450)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.450) out of 10 for Bearwood Nursing 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 10 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 4.656 for Bearwood Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (96 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.656

  • 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 4.794 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bearwood Nursing Home is based on 10 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 63 registered maximum number of service users is 12.6. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.6 = 0.794

  • 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.
