It’s difficult for me to find words to sum up the strength and courage of the staff in Overslade Lane Barchester Care Home during these really challenging times. They have cared for and nursed my mum through the Coronavirus, who has been so poorly on top of already being very unwell with complex underlying
health issues and dementia. They have done it with grit and determination and smiled through the toughest of times. Our family are just so grateful for the contact they have maintained with us during these heartbreaking weeks. Saying thank you doesn’t seem to be enough. You’re all amazing.

My 86 year old mother arrived at Barchester Overslade House last October. She was so fragile and frail, weighing only 6 stone, after spending 3 weeks in hospital, within days she started to pick up, joining other residents in the day room, she soon got her appetite back with such a great menu that is
offered every day, there is always something she likes. My Mum needs 24-hour care, she has dementia and is totally incontinent, she is well looked after, the carers are lovely and genuinely care about the residents. She is happy and now weighs over 7 stone and joins in the activities that are planned daily.

My mother was taken into care 6 weeks after having an unforeseen and devastating stroke leaving her dependent on others for support. For the best part of 5 months, the staff and management of Overslade House did outstanding work to make her time there as comfortable and as pleasant as possible. At no
time did she look unsettled or distressed and they gave her opportunities to join in with the more suitable activities. At the end of life, she was treated with respect and the staff and management offered sympathy and support throughout. Thank you Overslade for all you have done.

My father was only a resident here for a short time, but myself and all the family were very pleased with the standard of care that he received. The care home was an inviting place, very clean, tidy and modern. The staff were always very pleasant and took their time when caring for my father. On behalf
of myself and the family, we would like to thank you; very much for everything you did.

The care my mother received in the 10 months she was there was good, both medically and personally. The bedsores she had when she arrived there, improved greatly with their attention and care. The care and compassion we received as a family during the last weeks of my mother's life was something we
will never forget, enabling us to be with my mother as a family during this time.

The care my mother received at Overslade was above and beyond my expectations. The staff were all wonderful. As a big family, they accommodated us all and could not do enough for my family at the sad time of my mother's passing. I would not hesitate to recommend this care home to anyone else.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

I wanted to ensure that I posted a review of my recent experience of Overslade Care Home, Rugby, whilst my mum was a resident. My mum did not relish the thought of going into a care home for her palliative care, but agreed to do so on the basis that if she did not like it, she would then be transferred
home. Within 3/4 days mum settled in very well and adjusted to the environment. The reason for this being that the home itself was lovely and very welcoming from meeting the Administrator on reception at the time, who stayed late to allow mum to be admitted. What can I say about the nursing care? Each and every one of the staff, whether it be the nursing or care staff were nothing short of amazing. They looked after my mum like one of their own and the way they spoke so gently to her, it was just so lovely. So gentle and reassuring that she was not a bother. In her final hours, they were so kind to all the family and most of all my amazing mum. Thank you isn't enough.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.920)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.920) out of 10 for Barchester Overslade House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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 4.920 for Barchester Overslade House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (380 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 412 Ratings = 4.92

  • 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 Overslade House Care Home is based on 35 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 90 registered maximum number of service users is 18, which has been reached with 35 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.
