Regency Care Home is conveniently situated in Whitefield, between central Manchester and Bury, and is within easy reach of local shops and other amenities including public transport.

The home provides residential care for people who need support with everyday activities such as washing, dressing or eating, as well as keeping on top of taking regular medications. Additionally, the service offers specialist residential care for people who are living with dementia or a mental health condition.

Nursing care is also available at the home for people who live with more complex medical needs.

Short-term respite care is also offered at the home to give family or friends a well-earned break.

Upon arrival, residents are supported by the staff to develop a personalised care plan using an electronic comprehensive integrated Care Planning system. This not only records information around an individual’s care needs but includes interests, hobbies and dietary preferences also. This system gives everyone involved in residents’ care instant access to care information and preferences from their individual care plan to provide responsive and person-centred care.
They use an electronic medication system for clear and accurate and safe administration of medications and they also assist residents, who are able to and chose to look after their own medications.

Traditional home cooking using fresh produce is offered with choices being available. Special diets can be catered for.

With a dedicated activities coordinator in place, you will be rest assured that there will always be meaningful activities taking place in and out of the home for residents to enjoy.

The care staff are excellent, caring, polite, efficient and reassuring. Due to Covid-19, I only have seen my husband in drive-bys but not inside the home. He is very happy and considers it his home. Whichever carer brings him out, he looks to them with a happy face. He enjoys the food and has put on
weight. He is in the dementia unit. Some questions I cannot answer as have not been able to go inside the home.

Reply from Nichola Birkett, Registered Manager at Regency Care Home

Thank you so much for your kind words, it is our pleasure to care for your husband. We now have a visiting pod available and some of our residents and relatives have benefited from its use for face to face visits, as soon as lockdown is over we will be able to utilise it again.

We have been very happy with the care and consideration shown to my father-in-law since he moved into Regency in March. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, we have not been able to visit him indoors and therefore have not been able to comment on some of the categories. We have been touched by the efforts
made to keep safe contact with him ie 'drive-through' meetings. Thank you.

Since my mum moved into Regency she has received excellent care and attention from all the staff. Everyone who works there from the carers, admin, cleaners, kitchen staff take a real interest in the resident's welfare and always make time for visitors/family.

Entrance hall clean and not smelling institutional. Staff friendly, helpful and kind. Food unimaginative, unvaried with overcooked vegetables and very small helpings. Salads and sandwiches OK. Larger rooms nice but an expensive extra.

They always keep him clean and tidy and spend a lot of time talking to him and spending some time with him which he enjoys.
I highly recommend Recency Care Home.

My sister has been in the home 17 months and the care and attention have been very good. The carers are so kind and friendly and always try their best to make their stay as nice and happy as possible, and when my sister has not been very well the care has been wonderful. All the staff I have found
to be fantastic.

My mother has nursing care and the team of nursing staff are brilliant. All the carers know my Mum really well as they have worked there for a long time. It is very rare to see any agency staff. In fact, all the staff from management downwards are excellent and dedicated to making sure the residents
receive the best care possible. My only criticism would be the food as I feel there is definitely room for improvement.

All the staff are very caring and friendly to the residents and their families and will go above and beyond their duties to ensure all are happy. The home itself is clean and brightly decorated. I have not noticed the smell that is associated with care homes.
The activities are good and day trips out
are arranged. My aunt enjoyed going out for a meal. I can't comment on the food as my aunt didn't eat a lot, she did remark she didn't like the bread.

The activities held a Royal Wedding garden party which was a sounding success. The garden and lounges were decorated beautifully. The residents had made decorations to adorn the room. Afternoon tea was served to residents in the garden under the gazebo. Everyone wore decorated hats or tiaras. All in
all, very well organised.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.763)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.763) out of 10 for Regency 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.763 for Regency Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (222 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 274 Ratings = 4.763

  • 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 Regency Care Home is based on 23 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 23 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.

Nichola

Nichola Birkett

Job Title: Home Manager at Regency Care Home, Bury

Joined: 2016

“My passion is end of life care and ensuring that residents are advocated for and families experience support at the worst time.”


Nichola has worked in the Health and Social Care sector for 17 years and has been with Regency for four years. Nichola comes from a family of nurses and believes this was her calling in life.


Why did you decide to join Lovett Care
Having suffered bereavements myself, it emphasised my need to want to care for others. I wanted to be a positive change agent ensuring the delivery of meaningful care and treatment to a high standard.
Also, I was really impressed by the care and nursing team at Regency as they strive to deliver person-centred care to the highest achievable standard. I liked how the home is friendly, engaging and has a homely atmosphere.

What do you enjoy most about your job?
As the Registered Manager, I enjoy having the opportunity to make meaningful changes to the service that directly affects the health optimisation of the residents in my care. Also, I like how nothing is too much for the care team and they always go above and beyond their duties to ensure the residents lives are enriched.
My passion is end of life care and ensuring that residents are advocated for and families experience support at the worst time.


What are your favourite hobbies and pastimes?
I have two teenage children and my little dog Bella, so I enjoy spending time with family and going on trips away. I am also passionate about fundraising for charities.


Are there any highlights in your career you are particularly proud of?
In 2018, I was awarded the FSHC National Deputy Manager Award from 235 applicants. Also, in 2019, the Chief Nursing Officer visited Regency and commended the service we provide.


Recently, in 2020 myself and the home was awarded 'The High Sheriff Special Recognition Award' for outstanding care delivered and innovation shown throughout the Covid-19 pandemic.


What are your Qualifications?
I worked as a hospital auxiliary for the first part of my career. Then I went on to complete my nurse training. I worked a registered mental health nurse across a variety of hospital settings, before working the private sector in 2015.
In 2016, I took the role of Deputy Home Manager at Regency. After a short period, I became the registered Home Manager.


What top tips would you give someone when looking for the right care home?
If you are looking to place a loved one in care, I would advise anyone to read the CQC inspection report and look around all available facilities to ensure the choice you make is the right one for you and your family.
