I stayed in Bourne Wood Manor for just over 2 weeks for respite whilst my husband was recovering from a knee operation in Farnham Hospital. I thoroughly enjoyed the short stay enjoying the company with other residents and participated in many daily activities. The food was excellent and all the staff
were very friendly and helpful in providing help in all activities. My medication is significant and they managed this job well. I would recommend this care home if I needed a longer period of care.

My mum decided she wanted to go into a care home, so we looked at a few. Finally, we chose Bourne Wood Manor. The staff are very helpful and friendly, the food is delicious. My mum loves her spacious bedroom and looking forward to joining in all the activities that are provided. The Bistro is warm
and welcoming where you can help yourself to drinks and pastries. You can also have a meal with your relative when visiting, if booked in advance. I cannot recommend this home highly enough. The staff who helped us with arrangements were very helpful and thought of every little detail. I loved the welcome gift left in Mum's room for her arrival. So if you are looking for a care home this is the one you should choose.

Mum arrived in Bourne Wood Manor Care Home in November after seven weeks in hospital. Staff have been very friendly. From doing nothing in hospital, the entertainment team have encouraged Mum to join in all the activities. The bistro is an excellent place to meet and greet.

My mother has been a resident of Bourne Wood Manor for more than two years and, despite advanced years and failing health continues to enjoy life and participates fully in activities and events in the home. She has always been very well looked after and definitely feels at home. As a family, we are
thankful that we found the perfect care home for Mum where she is so comfortable and so well cared for.

Reply from Cheryl, Home Manager at Bourne Wood Manor Care Home

My mother was due to be discharged from hospital but we had not had time to arrange a live-in carer, so we approached Bourne Wood. They were very helpful and quickly arranged respite care for a period of 4 weeks for my mother. Throughout her stay, the staff were very friendly and helpful. I noticed
a positive change in my mother's physical appearance and they tried their hardest to get her to join in the numerous events they do every day, throughout the day.
It was a huge relief knowing she was safe and being well looked after. She has now moved back home with a full-time live-in carer.
I highly recommend Bourne Wood to anyone looking for a safe and caring place for their loved ones.

Since transferring to Bourne Wood Manor Mum has been looked after Incredibly well. All needs are met, the quality and choice of food on offer is fantastic, the staff are very friendly and know how to help Mum, no matter what her mood may be. The Bistro is a perfect location to take Mum where she can
have a pastry whilst looking out over the gardens. We as a family are very happy with all at Bourne Wood Manor.

My dad moved into Bourne Wood Manor Care Home in September 2022 and has vascular dementia. From day one, all of the staff, whether that be the nurses, carers, chefs, maintenance and the management team, have shown sincere care, kindliness and compassion in the well-being of Dad. As Dad's dementia has
progressed, they have shown dedicated commitment in supporting him and have a deep understanding of his mental and physical changes. Parallel to this, their continuing and increasing support to me when visits are emotionally tough is something that I am incredibly grateful for. Thank you to everyone.

Reply from Cheryl Williams, Home Manager at Bourne Wood Manor Care Home

It is great to hear that you and your dad feel supported by our team - something we strive to achieve, as we always want our home to feel like an extension of your own and our team a part of your family.

We find Bourne Wood Manor Care Home very welcoming and the staff go the extra mile for residents. They also are sincere in their care and make the world of difference to my father-in-law's day. The building is bright and clean, recently refurbished when we thought it was looking great before. Beautiful
outside space. I love the bistro and the way the restaurant is set up every day. Fabulous entertainment and activities along with visits. We feel very lucky that we are part of this lovely care home.

I actually can’t fault the care home. It really is everything you could wish for in a home. The staff are truly caring and experienced. The food and hospitality is top rate and the activities are wide-ranging. I looked at around 15 or more care homes to find Bourne Wood and it really is the best around
by a mile.

My mum has settled in very well considering her reluctance to go into a care home, but the staff have been extremely welcoming, kind, caring and helpful to her. She has become more involved in the activities and even ones I thought she would never do. She absolutely loves the food and enjoys chatting
with the staff as well as the residents. Everyone is very helpful, polite and caring. Whenever I visit the staff are very friendly and always helpful. It has taken the worry away of her being at home on her own knowing that she always has staff on hand to help her. She suffers from Parkinsons and they are with her every step of the way and treat her with dignity.

Reply from Cheryl Williams, Home Manager at Bourne Wood Manor Care Home

Thank you so much for your very kind review of our home and the quality of care and support that we provide. We know that coming into a home can be unsettling for some, and so it is super to hear that our whole staff team has played a part in helping your mum to feel at home so quickly, and to enjoy taking part on the life of the community we have here. The staff always appreciate the acknowledgment of their depth of care and how they support each individual based upon their own circumstances, so thank you for your feedback on that.

From the start, the experience with Bourne Wood has been excellent. This has included the support from the team getting my mother here, getting her settled in and the support that is needed to enable Mum to live comfortably.
The staff are always happy and can be seen to treat residents with great
care and respect.
Having been to see a large amount of care homes, it was very pleasing to see the decor of the dementia floor is at the same level as the rest of the building. Based on my experience, I would definitely recommend Bourne Wood Manor Care Home.

Reply from Cheryl Williams, Home Manager at Bourne Wood Manor Care Home

Thank you for such a glowing review and recommendation, and to know that the experience of your mum moving into care was so well managed and helpful to you both. It is also nice to know that we stand so well in your estimations compared to other care homes you have seen; the whole team here contribute to that and will, therefore, be warmed by your kind words; thank you.

My dad has only been a resident at Bourne Wood Manor Care Home for the last three weeks but in this time, he now seems to be thriving under the nursing care, he is no longer in the pain he seemed to be in at hospital or when he lived at home. He has begun to join in activities in the day room and eat
his lunch in the dining room - I never expected him to leave his room! He always seems clean and well-presented when I visit and any issues have been quickly picked up and dealt with via the team on the reception on the dementia wing. So far, all so good!

Reply from Cheryl Williams, Home Manager at Bourne Wood Manor Care Home

Thank you so much for writing up this review and the feedback for Dad is so incredible. The team will be so pleased to hear how well Dad has settled in and how much better he is feeling. We are so happy he is part of the Bourne Wood Manor family.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.700)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.700) out of 10 for Bourne Wood Manor 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 35 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 4.700 for Bourne Wood Manor Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (295 Excellents x 5) + (117 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 416 Ratings = 4.7

  • 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 Bourne Wood Manor 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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8, 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.
