When I arrived at Springhill Care Home to see mum as she was lying on her deathbed, nobody thought to give me her daughter a phone call or tell me until the moment I walked into her room. Management was being rude and not having the right manner knowing someone was grieving. I felt management where
too quick to judge me or my actions which isn’t pleasant to hear and can be hurtful from the false statements they made to the police. I was simply sitting in another room out of sight collecting my train of thought when management insisted on making sure they were near instead of letting me be alone knowing mum died without family or me near. I just felt I hadn’t had the best experience with the home and management made it very difficult for me to see mum. Even when I complained nothing ever seemed to be done or been dealt with more like brushed under the carpet. It’s so hurtful knowing family are going through this so I wouldn’t recommend.

As previously reviewed, the standard of care on the Springwood Ward is fantastic. My father is very well cared for. However, for us to enjoy taking our relatives outside for fresh air, the current standard of amenity is very poor at the front of the building. The garden and seating are run-down and
depressing. Uneven flagstones, insufficient wheelchair space and dead plants and weeds are everywhere. This is in addition to a poorly maintained bin area - filthy!

Reply from Deborah Bennett, Manager at Springhill Care Home

Thank you for your review. There was a plan in place to improve the outside of the home. As you can see, we are well on the way towards achieving this. We want you to be able to utilise the garden area when visiting the home with your loved one. Kind regards.

Our family felt we needed to send this review in absolute gratitude for the love and care shown and given to our Mum in her time from August 2020 to when she sadly passed away on 20th May 2023.
Staff on Springwood and Treetops have been amazing throughout Mum's care, and hope you are proud of each
and every one of them who has cared for our Mum.
We will never forget the support shown to Mum and ourselves and be forever grateful for the rest of our lives.
In particular, I would like to thank you for looking after Mum in her last weeks on Treetops and for going the extra mile.
Dementia is a truly terrible disease, but without the staff that you have to support Mum and ourselves, we could not have gotten through it as a family.
Forever grateful and with much love.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mother has had outstanding care in Springhill for five years.
More recently, as her condition deteriorated, I was kept fully informed, and the team were patient and understanding with explanations to questions - we had such as supportive medications.
Sadly she passed away peacefully, supported
by the team, and we know her care could not have been better. The natural empathy of the staff was of great comfort, and their support subsequently was yet again first class, far above and beyond any expectations.
After five years, we now have no reason to visit Springhill, but to anyone considering the best care of their loved ones, there is no better place than this, and we will always be appreciative of the professionalism, compassion and love shown to my mother, and I commend them to you.

Reply from Deborah Bennett, Manager at Springhill Care Home

Damian, your mother was a pleasure to meet from the day I admitted her. To coordinate her care as general manager. We will really miss seeing you regularly visiting, and giving updates. The teams within the home are true carers and really do give exceptional care.
Thank you for this excellent review; I will ensure they see it.

My husband of 57 years lives with advanced Alzheimer's Disease. He recently moved to Springhill after a fall and a spell in the hospital. I have been impressed with the way he has been cared for. All the staff are caring and compassionate to my husband and meet all his needs, taking his dignity into
consideration at all times. On my daily visits, the staff are always friendly and welcoming. I feel that their care extends to me as well. Communication from the home is excellent, and I always feel I know how my husband is faring.

My auntie is currently in Springhill Care Home. I visit her regularly, and I would like to express how highly thought of Springhill is with my family. I feel my auntie is safe and well cared for. She has the most caring team of staff - all staff members pop into her room during the day for a chat and
keep her happy. She still has the capacity and is asked regarding her care and is able to make her own decisions. If, as a family, we have any concerns, we can talk to the nursing team, and they are very responsive. I really could not recommend the home enough to give you peace of mind whilst your loved one is being cared for.

Exceptional in every way!
The experience for both my parents and us as a family, from enquiry and assessment through to residence, was done with great care and understanding. The support provided has helped my parents transition from their own home to residing and planning for their future needs and
wishes. All of this has been carried out in a compassionate and caring way. The facilities, staff, food and management are amazing!

Extremely satisfied. All staff, except one, were perfect. Mum had a rough passing, as she was unable to drink. Milnshaw was clean, friendly and accommodating. The care assistants, even down to the cleaners, dinner ladies and tea trollies, were very kind and offered help all the time. One last (who we
called snake lady) was fantastic at all times, over and above what was necessary, including hours.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My father has many complex health needs. He has suffered neglect and poor treatment with both NHS providers and at a previous nursing home.
Following another admission, my father was patched up and ready to be discharged into a nursing care facility. A home that could meet Dad's complex nursing
needs.
In January this year, Springhill Nursing Home came into our lives. From the minute the general manager took the time to visit my father in the hospital to assess his needs, we knew things would improve for my father. Springhill put in place a thorough and detailed nursing care plan for Dad. We can now enjoy our visits with Dad knowing that he is receiving the best care possible.
The home is stunning, clean and purpose-built. The staff are well presented and highly professional; they always treat Dad with kindness and respect.
I think that the biggest endorsement I can give is that Springhill is the gold standard for a nursing home.

I would like to compliment all staff at the home for the care they provide to my mum. I would like to give special mention to those who represented the home at a recent meeting regarding my mum. Their knowledge of Mum and her needs came through, so all the assessor’s questions were answered. What was
reassuring was the ability of staff to speak about Mum from a position of knowledge, but also their caring nature and empathy shone through.

I am extremely satisfied with all the facilities and care my mum receives. Everyone does their best, especially in challenging times, eg Covid lockdowns. Staff levels appear to be under pressure at times, but I'm mindful of the national crisis. Management is very approachable. Any concerns I raise are

My sister has lived at the home for eight months now. She has settled in really well due to the staffs caring nature. Everywhere is always clean, the carpets were being as I visited. My sister has started to improve slightly, putting on weight. This much be because of the overall standard of nursing.

My wife has been in Springhill since February 2018. She has Alzheimer's and suffers from occasional fits. Since she was admitted, her condition has deteriorated to the stage where she is incapable of doing anything for herself. Throughout her stay, the staff have treated her with love and respect. I
cannot speak too highly of the care she receives. It is absolutely first class. I would recommend this home to anyone.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.667)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.667) out of 10 for Springhill 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 37 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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 4.667 for Springhill Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (347 Excellents x 5) + (61 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (13 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 436 Ratings = 4.667

  • 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 Springhill Care Home is based on 35 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 116 registered maximum number of service users is 23.2, which has been reached with 35 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.
