What a fantastic care home. The staff were very welcoming and exceptionally helpful. The place was spotless and light. Although my visit was short I left with the impression that it was a very happy well-run home.

After a life saving experience in hospital, well enough to join Barchester Windmill Manor Care Home. On arrival excellent welcoming. Met me, taken to my room, beautifully equipped bedroom with ensuite, spotless. The staff so kind, turn their hand to everything that is required of them. Diet requirements
with a varied choice, home-cooked delicious food. My rest and recuperation two weeks allowed me to be discharged from hospital.

Reply from Ellie, General Manager at Barchester Windmill Manor Care Home

My mum has been a resident at Windmill Manor for over four years now. Her dementia has worsened and her care needs increased, and the staff at the home have supported her the whole way.
Sometimes there are maybe fewer staff than ideal particularly at the weekends, but generally she is cared for very
well, and is mostly very content.
The doctor visits regularly, and there are often performances by local musicians and performers. We can visit when we want to and she loves a trip down to the reception area, where there is always tea and coffee available. Mum thinks the world of her lead carer.
All in all, I think Windmill Manor is very good, and since my mum's been there we haven't had to worry about her - she's safe, warm, fed, and above all cared for.

Reply from Ellie Lyons, General Manager at Barchester Windmill Manor Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. It is our honor to be caring for your mum and we are delighted that caring for her gives you peace of mind. We will pass on your kind words to our team.

From our initial contact, looking for respite care for my aunt, we have had excellent help and care. For family reasons, we have moved my aunt from Windmill Manor after 3 months. We have chosen another Barcester home for her, nearer to her relatives. Our choice was helped by her experience at Windmill
Manor.

My wife came to stay at Windmill Manor following a deterioration in her physical health and Alzheimer's. Her needs were complex, requiring help with eating, drinking and all aspects of personal care.
The care staff were wonderful, treating her with kindness, compassion and dignity, respecting her
as an individual. They took time to engage with my wife and our family to find out about her personality and interests, developing a genuine rapport with her. The nursing staff were responsive to any questions or concerns we had.
Her room was bright, spacious and well-equipped. We were able to bring in familiar photos from home to personalise them.
The food is very good and was adapted to my wife’s eating requirements and tastes, she loved poached eggs!
There is a high standard of cleanliness throughout the nursing home; most importantly, my wife’s personal care was always a high priority for the staff.
Thank you to everyone involved in my wife’s care during her time at Windmill Manor.

We initially chose Barchester Windmill Manor Care Home very carefully and have no regrets or doubts about our selection. Everything has been smooth and straightforward as Mum has arrived, the admin, settling Mum in and tweaking her room and care plan. The team have kept us informed and is happy to discuss
any aspect of Mum's tenure. We feel as supported as Mum clearly is. Many, many thanks.

I would like to say from the moment I first walked in here, I was impressed at how friendly everyone was and how clean it was. Nothing is too much trouble, the rooms are excellent. Everyone is so kind to the residents, even when things get stressful. The food is very good, the coffee room is free for
all of us with beautiful cakes and a lovely sitting area.

I have found all the staff very helpful and kind. I would like to see my husband taken for a walk outside and maybe physio therapy-exercise class. My only concern is the boredom with the lack of activities, otherwise, he is very well cared for and attended to.

My mother has lived at Windmill manor for over 5 years. During that time she has been respected, loved, compassion with all her needs met with great care and consideration for her individuality.
All the carers give so much of themselves. I can relax knowing that mum is receiving the best of care.

Reply from Ellie Lyons, General Manager at Barchester Windmill Manor Care Home

Thank you so much for your review, this is such good feedback. I am very happy that you feel your mother gets the best care. I will ensure I share this with all the team here at Windmill Manor.

My father went into Windmill Manor Home for a few week's respite stay. The manager and nursing staff couldn't have been more helpful and professional. All the care staff were very friendly and dealt with my father extremely well (He can be very difficult at times). this is the first time that he has
been in respite care and we were very nervous about leaving him especially as he wasn't happy about it. But we needn't have worried. He settled in straight away. The manager is a great asset to the home, she rang me daily and then weekly to let me know that he was fine and loving life at Windmill Manor.

Reply from Ellie Lyons, General Manager at Barchester Windmill Manor Care Home

My father went into Windmill Manor Home for a four-week respite stay.
The manager and nursing staff couldn't have been more helpful and professional.
All the care staff were very friendly and dealt with my father extremely well (he can be very awkward at times). This is the first time that he has
been in respite care, and we were very nervous about leaving him, especially as he wasn't very happy about it. But we needn't have worried. He settled in straight away. His room was nice and spacious, and they had a welcome gift for him on arrival, which couldn't have been better as he loves chocolate, and this distracted him and settled him down. He loved the food and was definitely well fed. Surprisingly to us, he joined in all the activities which they provided. The manager is a great asset to the home. She rang me daily at first and then weekly to let me know that he was fine and loving life at Windmill Manor. I cannot recommend this home highly enough.

My father first came to Barchester Windmill Manor Care Home in April 2022 after a stay at the hospital. The care he has received is extremely good and we have been able to rest easy knowing he is in a safe, comfortable environment. Communication is good and they have also supported my mother in this
difficult transition to him requiring residential care. The food is of a good standard and the dining room is a really sociable space. I had the fun of watching a game of carpet bowls last week when I was visiting: the residents were all encouraged to take part and clearly enjoyed it. A recent highlight was the range of celebrations organised for the Jubilee Weekend which were above and beyond our expectations. There was something every day with a wonderful sense of community as families were encouraged to join the fun.

Impossible to fault Barchester Windmill Manor Care Home. My wife has been a resident for 7 or 8 years and during that time her care has been excellent. She requires assistance for bathing, dressing, eating and drinking; she needs full hoist for transfers from bed to wheelchair etc. All this is done
with great care and kindness. Her carers are kind and patient, and she is treated with love and respect.

My mother has been a resident at Barchester Windmill Manor Care Home since 2017. After an initial period of adjustment, she has settled in very well and is happy living at Barchester Windmill Manor Care Home as her home. She is looked after and cared for very well and the staff are patient and kind,
particularly one member of staff, who treats my mother more as a relative than a resident in ensuring her comfort and well being!

My wife has gone through hell and back since she had her stroke. The NHS was appalling 3 months of hell then another 3 months of hell in her first nursing home. Then she moved to the Windmill the best time of her life. It is the first time she has felt happy and safe. The staff are all you could wish
for. They go out of their way nothing is too much for them. They pull out all the stops no matter what the cost.

My mum moved into Windmill Manor at the start of Covid. The staff have worked very hard in difficult circumstances. They have got to know and understand how to care for mum. She is happy and content, always well turned out and has put on some weight after being unwell before arriving here. Thank you
everyone at Windmill Manor.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.815)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.815) out of 10 for Barchester Windmill Manor 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 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.815 for Barchester Windmill Manor Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (289 Excellents x 5) + (50 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 346 Ratings = 4.815

  • 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 Barchester Windmill Manor Care Home is based on 29 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 29 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.
