I want to express my gratitude to all the staff in the care home including those who tended to my mother. I want to express sincere thanks to the home manager for the support given to my mum and myself with such difficult circumstances I can't not put into words what you done for us and to keep my mum
safe.
How you all welcome and accommodated my siblings coming from abroad and for the care shown to both my mum and us at her end of life the dignity and respect she was shown was impeccable.
The care staff are invaluable my mum was fond of many, the unit manager and night staff also even the cleaning staff had a bond with mum. Myself and my partner cannot thank all of you enough for being there. We know you do this everyday but everything you done was very much person centered.
Regards and thanks to you all.

My sister has recently moved to Springboig from another home. She has settled in really well, much quicker and better than we expected, given the many years she spent in the previous care home. We can't thank the dedicated staff in Allander enough for the support they have given her and us in helping
her to settle and feel at home. The care she receives is excellent and they do everything they can to communicate with her and with us and involve us in her care and wellbeing. The home is clean and well-run and the facilities are good. The management and staff are very friendly and welcoming and the home has a lovely atmosphere. We would recommend Springboig Care Centre to anyone looking for a care home for their family.

Thank you for the excellent care that my brother now benefits from. It's obvious that he has settled in well and feels comfortable in his present situation. Everyone is so concerned for his welfare and he obviously feels at home. This is a great comfort to the family as we are so far away and can't
visit as often as we would like to.

My father has been a resident at Springboig Care Centre since 2019. Throughout the pandemic (COVID-19) the care home were there for the residents. They have a special bond with each other. My father is very unwell, and his dementia has taken away a lot of characteristics that made up his personality.
These characteristics are significantly more present when he interacts with the great staff at Springboig Care Centre. Since the new manager has started, the care home has become even better. I am very grateful as I'm sure other families are of the past, present and future dedication that the manager and the Springboig Care home staff do, every day, all day.

My gran has had great care since she became resident at Springboig.

My brother has been a resident since February and has settled in very well. I am very happy with the care he receives and knowing all his needs are being met. The staff are always very friendly and at hand to answer any questions I have. It's nice to see the staff sit and engage with the residents.
I have peace of mind knowing he is being well looked after, and I can't thank the staff enough. I am very grateful for you all.

My in-laws went in for a week of respite. They absolutely loved their time here. The staff went above and beyond to make them feel at home and took amazing care of both of them. The food was very good as well. They would love to go back anytime to stay. Thank you, everyone, for taking such good care
of them!

My mum's quality of life since moving into the care home has hugely improved because of the care and support she receives. She is happier, much more content and all the signs of agitation have gone. All the staff are so kind and have a great understanding of my mum's needs. They are great at keeping
me informed of the care she is receiving and even simple things like asking how she would like her hair cut. The staff also make family and visitors very welcome. It's a pleasure to visit and see all the interaction between staff and residents, a lovely homely, family feel. My mum has grown very fond of the staff, and her personal care/hygiene care is great. My mum is also on a special diet and struggles to swallow. The staff have done a great job in encouraging her to eat. I would not hesitate to recommend the home; it is welcoming, homely and full of very caring staff. Thanks to everyone.

I had to put my elderly father into a care home due to various health conditions. I went through an extremely stressful and sad time during this transition. My initial experience with a different care home for my father made this worse. The staff and management at Springboig made this transition easier,
which really helped me. Both the original manager I dealt with and the new manager are very nice and caring. The staff are great, try to help and are very friendly. I'd like to see more activities involving residents on the social media page. It's nice to know about activities, even if your relative chooses not to participate. The staff and management are great and want the best for the residents.
My only issue is the difference in cost between self-funded places and the council rate, the difference is too high, and I cannot see the justification for this. It runs through a relative's savings far quicker than it otherwise would which places earlier strain on the government.

Before admission, my mum was completely bed-bound with minimal interaction with others. The staff at Springboig are getting her out of bed and including her in activities with the home. They are looking after her so well in every way possible, and she is treated with the greatest respect. Thank you
to the manager and your team for what you are doing to care for our mum.

Absolutely the best experience we could ever have hoped for. Nana was well looked after. We were nervous about leaving her but were reassured when we met all of the staff who would be looking after her. Nana enjoyed her week's respite, had new stories to tell and enjoyed activities too. The manager
went above and beyond when helping us to move nana back and forth to home. Was available at short notice, very warm, friendly and approachable.

I needed a safe and peaceful place for my brother to move into.

I have noticed a huge positive change in my brother since arriving at the home. He is much more happy and more content, which is a testament to the staff at the home.

We have had to put my elderly father-in-law into a care home as his dementia has gotten worse, and his wife died unexpectedly last year. My family and I went through an extremely stressful and sad time during this transition, Covid restrictions made this worse, but the care, time, commitment and hard
work by this care home has helped all of us. I honestly don't know how we would ever have coped without their support.

Dear Lisa, thank you for taking the time to write a review, which we will share with our team. It is a privilege to be a part of your father-in-law's later years and to offer care and support to him and his family. We look forward to seeing you and your family soon.

I have been involved with care homes for the past 14-years with my mum and now my husband. It has not been an easy time. This home puts the client at the centre, and this makes it stand out. My husband is very settled, no signs of agitation, is always clean-shaven and well dressed. He is treated with
respect and dignity. Staff are friendly and professional. The unit is very well run, and the staff should be commended. More homes would do well to visit here and learn from them.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.318)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.318) out of 10 for Springboig Care Centre 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 8 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 4.947 for Springboig Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (90 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 95 Ratings = 4.947

  • 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 4.371 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Springboig Care Centre is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 14 = 0.571

  • 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.
