I can't express how grateful for looking after Dad for his respite. Right from the moment he stepped in the door to the minute he left, you looked after him so well. He felt safe and welcomed. All of the staff made such a fuss of him, which was so important for the time away from home. The home itself
is spotlessly clean, both in terms of his room and public areas. Thank you all.

My uncle moved into the care home in August of 2022. As he had always been very independent, there was some concern that he would not settle in his new surroundings but this has not proved to be a problem as the staff have made his new life more rewarding. He is now happy and content in his new way
of life and is safe.

The care home is an ideal spot, close to the town's main street, facilities and beach. The staff are extremely welcoming, friendly, knowledgable and professional. They keep relatives fully informed at all times and make constant checks on their residents in terms of physical health and well-being. Plenty
of opportunities for relatives to become involved in the range of activities on offer.

In the four years we have been visiting, we have always found the staff very pleasant and friendly. They are really nice to my uncle, who has never complained about anything to me. He enjoys the food.

The ground floor is excellent, well decorated, residents are happy and stimulated, lots of activities and a really good feeling about the place. The dementia unit upstairs is completely different (understandable in some ways). It is in need of decorating, the carpets are stained. The residents do not
seem to have much stimulation, however, residents are clean (although I have had to request my husband has his hair washed more often). Covid has made things difficult and therefore it is hard to judge properly. The staff are always friendly, cooperative and have a good rapport with my husband who appears content and well looked after.

My grandma is always made a fuss of. All the staff are kind and polite and always make time for my children as well. We are always asked if we would like refreshments as well as the children. My grandma has been through a rough nearly 2 years but is now happy as she can be emotionally. I believe that
the care and support my grandma has received is why she is still here today.

Polite and friendly staff. Clean and easy to find places to go. They offer a good range of activities in the home that I know for one, my grandma enjoys.
The staff here are very empathetic which is refreshing to see in a care/nursing home as you can tell they care more for the happiness of the residents
opposed to the situation he/she is in.

As a widowed dementia sufferer, my Grandad initially stayed for a couple of respite visits which then developed by his own request to him becoming a full-time resident. Each member of staff works so hard and all took the time to build up a great rapport with him to make him feel special and part of
their community.


As his condition had worsened he'd withdrawn from many aspects of life in his own home but due to the lovely environment at De Baliol, he got back his spark and lived life to the full again, taking part in a wide range of activities that were very thoughtfully arranged for the residents.


Unfortunately, his residency was quite short as he passed away in hospital due to ongoing health conditions after only a couple of months, but the family are all so grateful to the manager and her entire team for making last chapter of his life such a happy one. For anyone looking for residential care for a family member, we can not recommend De Baliol enough.


Reply from Howard Emanuel, RM at De Baliol Care Home

Thank you, Lee, for your review. We are incredibly proud of the care delivered at De Baliol and are happy to know that your grandad’s time at the home was one that restored his spark.

Really good quality and care of my father. Staff are caring and well well informed of my father's needs. My father feels safe and secure and I feel that he is being well fed and kept very clean. His dignity is maintained at all times. In short, I am very happy with the care provided by ALL the team
at De Baliol Court Nursing & Residential Care Home.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.726)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.726) out of 10 for De Baliol 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 43 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 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 4.726 for De Baliol Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (397 Excellents x 5) + (90 Goods x 4) + (22 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 511 Ratings = 4.726

  • 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 De Baliol Care Home is based on 42 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 59 registered maximum number of service users is 11.8, which has been reached with 42 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.
