During my husband's final weeks at Springhill, his care and support was delivered with true professionalism and dignity. Staff were always kind and sincere in their approach to care being given.

My mother came to Springhill after a broken hip operation - the home sensibly did a covid test before admitting Mum. They made the process, and the covid protection was excellent for all. I could only visit Mum once, I was advised she would pass. In the three weeks, Mum was with Springhill, she and
I were treated with dignity and respect. Staff kept me informed on a regular basis about Mum. Mum was 91 with all her faculties but had found life a struggle - vision going - care for herself, she wanted to pass. I highly recommend this home, well managed, wonderful staff and the best in the area. Keep your high standards; thank you all.

My partner has been in Springhill 13 months. The standard of care is exceptional, the staff are dedicated to their residents, nothing is too much trouble. I was anti care home, but it was what my partner needed. The staff have been very patient and understanding and helped me through my concerns. I
am now converted. My partner is in the dementia suite where he is well looked after, and so am I. I would recommend Springhill to anyone.

My husband was a resident at Springhill Care Home for the last 13 months. Both he and I were treated in a professional, caring manner, appropriate to his health care needs at the time and supportive of myself and other family members. Staff kindness and inclusivity went far beyond our expectations and
we were always made to feel part of the Springhill family for which they have our eternal gratitude and love.

Mum was comfortable and content whilst at Springhill. She continually commented on how lucky she was to have been placed there.
Her final days were serene and how she would have wanted. The staff were wonderful both with mum and the family and couldn't do enough to help.

I was extremely pleased with the professionalism of the nursing team in providing palliative care during the last 3 months fo my mum's life. Every member of staff regardless of role showed her kindness and their friendly attitude made our visits so much easier. Our only issue was with the poor en-suite
facilities in the first room, no heating and poorly equipped for frail residents. I was, however, delighted to secure a place where I felt confident and happy with the level of care.

My grandfather as in the Woodlands section at Springhill for approximately 19 months. In that time the amazing, kind, caring and wonderful team had cared and looked after his increasingly demanding needs. I could genuinely relax knowing that he was so cared for, no matter when I turned up he was always
clean, his room spotless and happy. Towards the end of his life, I was able to spend time with him, and I realised even more how many people were actually involved in his care. The whole team went above and beyond and thank you is not enough.

My father was a resident at Springhill for just over a year. The care he received there was superlative, and I couldn't have wished for abetter quality of care for my father. The environment is second to none and the staff were absolutely wonderful. I can't recommend Springhill Care Home more highly,
and my father received wonderful care there.

We couldn't have found a more caring place for our mum to be. She was a much loved, valued member of Springhill Care Home.
We were so comfortable and happy with mum being there. After suffering a massive stroke 3 years ago and unable to return home, mum was treated as part of a family at Springhill
Care Home and was genuinely loved by all the staff. She was treated with such care, love and dignity during her time there and they were lovely to us too, her large family and all her friends, right up until mum died on 6th May 2019.

My mother was in the home for just over five months and during that time, the staff ensured that her every need was catered for in a timely, diligent and caring manner.
Staff were always polite and helpful with me and the rest of the family and were always willing to share information of mum's situation.
I would recommend Springhill Care Home to anyone - five-star service!

My mother was admitted to Springhill Care Home in March 2019. As my mother is 95 years old we were anxious that her end of days were spent somewhere caring, pleasant and a good home! We are so pleased with the home.


Staff and surroundings: As my mum is now blind it is important for her to be surrounded

with positive and caring staff! This is evident in my mother's views of being there and speaking about the staff with respect so well done Springhill.

When on Woodlands part of the care home, the staff were extremely caring individuals who I felt provided the best possible care for my dad form hygiene to dignity. They not only made him as comfortable as possible but gave me peace of mind, knowing that he was in safe hands. I never felt unable to express
my wishes that were always acted upon where possible.

The general approach of staff, the way they care for and comfort residents, the inclusive approach to allow them to integrate into the daily running of the home is a credit to everyone who works at Springhill.
We could not have asked for better care for my father and can console ourselves in his passing
that his last few years were as good as they could be under the circumstances.

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.
