Situated in a peaceful, residential area in Oswestry, and taking inspiration from the unique architecture in Oswestry town centre just half a mile down the road, Bluebell View is a purpose-built care home with stylish décor and access to a beautiful private garden and courtyard to the rear of the home.

The newly built home offers a range of guest services and facilities to ensure a fantastic stay for either a little care break, or longer-term place to call home.

In addition to the range of activities available, residents are also encouraged to get involved with the Oswestry community, from building relationships with neighbours in local community groups and schools, to arranging sightseeing trips in the local area.

With a wealth of knowledge and experience in the care sector, the friendly Home Manager leads the team at Bluebell View to deliver the kindest possible care to residents, supporting them to lead their best possible life.

My experience of Bluebell View Care Home has been one of great delight. The staff have been very accommodating. My room is very bright and cheerful. The kitchen staff have somewhat excelled themselves in accommodating me with my food allergy condition. I am delighted we chose Bluebell View and would
recommend it to anyone for respite or moving in their home.

Have just concluded two week respite care at Bluebell View. Excellent, well run, friendly, helpful staff, who couldn't do enough for you. Made some new friends and will definitely be returning for more care/respite as needed.

Excellent home manager very approachable, liaison manager most helpful and kind. Food was exceptional. My mother in law had a lovely
Christmas with her relatives and new friends that she had made at Bluebell View.

Walked in on our first visit to an amazing welcome. The staff have been so kind and supportive to both my father-in-law and the family. Not only does the home look (and smell) wonderful, the staff are absolutely wonderful. No one ever makes us feel a nuisance and we feel it is a good family feel. Only
wish my father-in-law had come here sooner. Food and drink are outstanding.

From the outset, beginning with the name 'Homecare-One', sets out their stall to be a high-care organisation delivering their service with kindness. This was exhibited in both word and deed by all parts of the staff. All delivering their service in professional ways, looking to see if any struggled
to rise from their chair, staff gathered quickly and appropriately helped - not taking over b assisting for the last finer bit to a secure place on the suitably placed frame. They demonstrated respect and kindness in waiting appropriately whilst allowing the resident to finish their sentence or their meal. Time was appropriately given. As was aid with those inevitable spills, staining the recently exchanged dry clothes for the second or third time. I saw much kindness, a critical thing for residents.

My mum was the first resident in the Bluebell View Care Home. From day one, Mum was treated with great care, a smile from all staff and management.
The nursing home itself is better than some five-star hotels.
Sometimes, because of Mum's dementia, they went above and beyond with their care.
We cannot
thank them enough, especially in Mum's last days.

I have come to Bluebell View Care Home for respite care and find it a very pleasant place to stay. The staff are very pleasant, clean and kind to me. Activities with other residents is encouraged daily. The home manager is very professional in her role. Her deputy is also very professional in her role.
The nurses and care staff are very kind, helpful and efficient. The catering hosts are excellent. The chef is very informative and the food is nutritious and tasty. I would recommend with confidence to anyone for care and respite care at Bluebell.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.659)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.659) out of 10 for Bluebell View Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 13 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 4.846 for Bluebell View Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (132 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.846

  • 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 4.813 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bluebell View Care Home is based on 13 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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.813

  • 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.
