Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My wife is in the more advanced stages of Parkinson's disease and originally she entered Barchester Cubbington Mill Care Home for two weeks of respite care. Her Parkinson's symptoms caused her period of respite to be extended and is now to become a permanent resident. I could not have wished for my
wife to be in a better place. I am confident that she will be well cared for and in a very safe place where she will be well looked after by a dedicated and committed staff. Her fellow residents have already accepted her into the 'communal family'.

A huge thank you to the manager and all the staff at Cubbington Mill Care Home for looking after my dad for a respite care stay. Without you, Dad would not have been able to attend our wedding and he has not stopped talking about how friendly and caring all the staff were. We really appreciate the clear
communications leading up to the day which meant we did not have to worry about whether Dad would be ok. Knowing that Dad was being looked after so well meant that all of the family could also enjoy the weekend without worrying. We genuinely can’t thank you enough and could not rate you all more highly. Thank you all, from all of the family.

Reply from Laura Russell, General Manager at Barchester Cubbington Mill Care Home

Thank you so much for taking the time to review the home and its staff. It was our pleasure to look after your dad during his respite stay and we hope to see you again in the future. We will share the feedback with the staff.

I stayed for one week of respite care. I have never been to a home before so I was a little uncertain. All the staff welcomed and gave great kindness. The carers coped well with my stroke condition. Overall I was delighted with my stay.

His initial assessment at home, the transport provided by the home and his first day and night have been extremely positive. The home has a genuinely warm and caring feel. This is combined with professional staff who are always on hand. As a family, we have experienced some very different care so for
him to be here is comforting and reassuring for us.

The main negative-not enough staff. Staff too busy to respond to call bells. Bathrooms-more grab rails needed. The floor-difficult to manoeuvre around, very dangerous, very jerky and uneven.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.784)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.784) out of 10 for Barchester Cubbington Mill Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.784 for Barchester Cubbington Mill Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (282 Excellents x 5) + (73 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 357 Ratings = 4.784

  • 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 Cubbington Mill Care Home is based on 30 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 30 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.

I am a registered nurse and I qualified in 2009 studying at Coventry University. Since then I have spent time working as a senior nurse in a surgical ward before moving on to district nursing. I completed further studies at Birmingham University whilst district nursing and I love to learn and keep up to date with my nursing practice. It is through district nursing that I came to love nursing homes and took the plunge to go into deputising in a nursing home before progressing to management of nursing homes.


I am excited and privileged to be working for Barchester and warmly embrace the opportunities this position will give me. I have a very open approach and strive to deliver the highest quality care to the residents and their families. I look forward to welcoming you to Cubbington Mill.
