I find the staff very friendly and helpful and on my visits whatever the time of day its always the same. I like that you can visit you loved ones whenever you like. There are no times that you are not allowed to visit. I find Willow Brook Care Home a very nice care home.

My brother was a resident at Willow Brook and obviously we went to see him on a regular basis. The staff were very good in all aspects of care and attention since his death. We still come to see the staff and we still are made to feel very welcome and still help at fundraising events. Wonderful and
pleasant atmosphere. 9/10.

Our aunt and uncle had to come into Willow Brook last year. Our uncle has sadly since passed away. Our aunt is still here. We as a family are very satisfied. Our relatives received very good care and attention. The staff are very good at their jobs and caring. They are sometimes a little short staffed
and overworked, but still manage a smile.

My mother moved into Willowbank nursing home in June 2015. The care shown is always excellent. Staff being friendly and professional at all times. My mothers room is very pleasant as it over looks an internal garden. I attend the resident family meetings held every 2-3 months and this provides am ideal
situation to hear the latest news and raise any points you may wish to. The manager is highly professional and always available if required. Well Done.

Mum was well cared for, particularly over Christmas while I could not visit much due to illness. The home took mum out for a Christmas meal and helped her to eat.

Mother has been at this care home for 3 months. We, as a family have found that this home is first class, all the staff are very caring and friendly. My mother is very well looked after, and we are very happy knowing that my mother is in first class, caring hands. Thank you very much.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.668)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.668) out of 10 for Willow Brook 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.668 for Willow Brook Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (146 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 193 Ratings = 4.668

  • 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 Willow Brook Care Home is based on 16 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 49 registered maximum number of service users is 9.8, which has been reached with 16 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.
