Very happy with care given to mum. When she moved to Burrswood she had 3 ulcers (2 leg, 1 back), thanks to the nursing care, both leg ulcers are healed and the back ulcer is almost healed. We are very happy with overall care and mum is glad to live at Burrswood. All staff are pleasant and caring at
all times.

Visiting my older brother I found him much happier since he moved into Burrswood. He smiled and asked and answered questions, something he has not done for many months previously. The staff are very friendly and accommodating involved with the other residents. It really is a pleasure to visit. Thank
you.

My husband stayed at Burrswood Care Home for one week, he found the staff very helpful and friendly, the food was to a high standard. I was happy to leave my husband then felt he was in safe hands.

Burrswood House have been looking after my father since 31st October 2015. Dad has dementia but the staff have done a very good job looking after him. Dad is unsteady on his feet and has a tendency to wander around. This leads to him having regular falls unfortunately we have reached a stage where the
home cannot look after dad much longer, as he needs one to tone care. Dad will be moving in the new year, through no fault of the home. I am particularly grateful to the staff.

The staff are very attentive to mum's needs and recognise when these change. The food is excellent and she has regained much of the weight she had lost in the last few months of living at home - my thanks go to the chefs for providing such good and varied nutritious meals. I know that mum always leaves
an empty plate.

Whilst the updating of the home has improved the whole outlook inside Burrswood. The caring staff work very hard, but take the time to encourage participation to do anything of interest themselves. Some activities are repeated and much more could be done, things to make and games however simple would
be a great help, talks on local history and much more about their own past to.

Since entering Burrswood House Nursing Home on the 8th of August 2014 for palliative care, I have made a tremendous recovery. I am back to my former self, mainly due to the staff and facilities at Burrswood House. I cannot speak too highly, I am very happy here - sadly I am now self full funding, this
is a "thorn in my side" being totally unfair.

Dad moved to Burrswood in October 2014, after it was decided that it was impossible to set up the care he need 24/7 at home, sadly. He remained there, during multiple health problems, until he sadly passed away a few weeks ago. It was hard for us, his son and daughter to accept the necessity of a care
home, but the girls on the Dunster Unit, along with the nurses in charge made it feel as cosy as possible. Their care and affection for dad was evident and the atmosphere was full of care, and a sense of fun with the clients and families. The warmth and love we experienced from everyone at dads passing was special and we will always be grateful to them.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.289)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.289) out of 10 for Burrswood Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 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 4.609 for Burrswood Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (133 Excellents x 5) + (53 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 197 Ratings = 4.609

  • 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 4.68 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Burrswood 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 125 registered maximum number of service users is 25. 17 Positive Reviews ÷ 25 = 0.68

  • 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.
