Everything is more or less satisfactory except that the toilets do not flush efficiently and I think in a care home, it is essential to have toilets that flush properly.

My father went into Bowood Court for respite in January 2019 and could not have had a better experience.
The staff and facilities are excellent and he looks 15 years younger than his 91 years. It hd been a difficult few months watching my dad's decline in care and health and Bowood Court has made it
so much better for him. He has much-needed companionship and interaction, care and kindness. I cannot recommend highly enough.

Very reassuring to know that any issues are listened to and dealt with promptly, whenever possible.
Many thanks to all of you for continuing to give excellent

Mom has lived at Bowood Court for eighteen months, during which time the place has been transformed into the likes of a 5-star hotel. Beautiful surroundings. A place is only as good as it's staff and everyone we have encountered have shown professionalism and understanding throughout. They get to know
the residents and treat them with dignity and care.
Mom couldn't be in better hands in their twilight years.

Carers are polite and helpful, giving answers or referring to who can help us when we have questions. I like the fact that on occasion we're allowed to visit and have dinner with our parents. Also, very happy at the amount of activities laid on for the residents. They have a hairdresser for both men
and women and day trips out for meals or visits to different places.


Each resident is treated as an individual as to their care and needs and my father-in-law refers to it as his home, which is lovely.

Choosing a care home for a parent is very difficult and confusing. Bowood Court were very helpful and understanding at this time. Facilities and service they offer are very good with some caring people on hand. Most important my father's needs are dealt with and he loves the food. The imminent refurbishment
and extra facilities being provided will be a bonus.

From the day we were shown around the Mews in September 2016, we knew that this is where dad should see out his life and we were never disappointed. At the end of February 2018 dad fell and broke his hip, a total accident, and went into the hospital. Unfortunately, because of complications, his health
deteriorated and he was sent back to Bowood Court & Mews Care Home for end of life care. If things can be pleasant under such circumstances, the staff of Bowood Court & Mews Care Home from the manager down to the cleaners made it so the last 10 days of dad's life were days that we can look back now and store as happy memories for the family. The care, affection, and compassion they showed not only to dad but to the rest of the family was exceptional, nothing was too much trouble and we can never thank them enough for helping to ease what could have been a harrowing experience.

Generally, my grandmother's care has been excellent. There have been a few issues due to a shortage of staff on a few occasions, but this has now been addressed. The staff are caring and work hard. Nothing is too much trouble and she classes this as home. We visit all the time and are always welcomed.
There are big plans for the year ahead and we look forward to being a part of it!

My mother has been at Bowood Court for only a couple of weeks but already, we are very pleased with the way she has been welcomed by all of the staff, which has helped her enormously during this settling in time.


Unfortunately, she has also tested their emergency service when she had a fall in her

room. Again the care and quick response from the staff members was very reassuring for us as a family. Well done Bowood.

My mother has been a resident at Bowood Court now for over 2 months. She came from recovery from hospital with a broken hip. The care the staff have given her has been amazing. She has already put on weight, smiling and enjoying life. The entertainment and activities are first class. The managers and
staff are so caring and keen to help giving the residents so much dignity and comfort.

My mother came to Bowood Court and Mews on 3 May 2017 after going walk about, and social services got involved.


She had, for a long time, said she felt unsafe at home and had not been able to look after herself properly.


On arrival, she liked it here. Her room was freshly decorated, the facility

was clean and tidy and the residents were all happy.


She is now better in herself and says she hopes she can stay here because she's got friends and feels safe.


I feel that she is better, health wise, and very well cared for. Neither she nor my brother have any complaints, and we feel Bowood and the staff here have transformed our lives.


Many thanks.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.393)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.393) out of 10 for Bowood 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 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 4.479 for Bowood Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (139 Excellents x 5) + (57 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 215 Ratings = 4.479

  • 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 4.914 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bowood Court Care Home is based on 17 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 93 registered maximum number of service users is 18.6. 17 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.6 = 0.914

  • 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.
