I have visited this home several times and have always been made welcome by friendly caring staff. Any questions or concerns have always been dealt with satisfactorily. The home has a warm, welcoming feeling and the staff are pleasant and approachable. The residents are well presented, wearing matching
and suitable clothes. This is important because in other homes, I have noticed no care has been given to this factor.

I transferred my mum from another home and I could not have been happier with the care she received at Bucklow Manor Care Home during her illness and subsequent death. The staff were kind and attentive, she was incredibly well looked after. The communication with the home was exceptional - to her family
members as well as medical professionals. Mum was very happy there and it was such a relief to be able to visit and be made to feel welcome. Thank you.

I am still "fairly new" to having my husband in care, it certainly is life-changing. The feeling of guilt never quite goes away.
I know that he is cared for well at Bucklow Manor Care Home and that helps.
The staff seem to be extremely caring, always have time to chat and advise on any concerns I
may have.
Keep up the good work.

My husband has been at Bucklow Manor Care Home for three months. I cannot express how grateful I am for the kindness and support given to me and my husband. During this transition period, we have both been supported and this life-changing event has been difficult but made easier by the care received
from absolutely everybody at Bucklow Manor.
I sleep well knowing my husband is in safe and loving arms whilst he is not with me.

I visit my friend at Bucklow Manor and always receive a very warm welcome. The staff are wonderful and give all the residents lots of attention and care. The manager and senior staff are very visible in the home and are always available to answer any questions I have. In short, this is a truly remarkable
and warm home for my dear friend.

My uncle has only been in Bucklow Manor for a month or so, but so far, I have been very impressed with the quality of care he has received. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble, and the admin is exceptionally good. They have dealt with appointments and always keep
me up to date with anything happening with him.

The environment is welcoming, with lovely gardens, and the design inside is well organised for the residents to be kept safe and able to move around. The staff are lovely and extremely hardworking, and the bedrooms are kept clean and tidy. The help and support my mum has received so far has been excellent.
The management takes time to listen and understand anything I have talked to them about. Overall, in my eyes, offers a very high level of care.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.892)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.892) out of 10 for Bucklow Manor 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 46 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 46 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 4.892 for Bucklow Manor Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (489 Excellents x 5) + (53 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 545 Ratings = 4.892

  • 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 Bucklow Manor Care Home is based on 46 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 56 registered maximum number of service users is 11.2, which has been reached with 46 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.
