  • Barchester Elm Bank Care Home, Kettering
Nestled in the 'Rose of the Shires', Northamptonshire, Elm Bank Care Home is a spacious and inviting residence in Kettering with great access to local amenities. Members of staff get to know everyone individually so they can provide a high quality lifestyle and activities that each resident will enjoy. The home welcomes respite and long term residents.

Bedrooms are divided between a community for people with lower care needs, a separate supported living house and a dementia care community. Elm Bank also has a premium respite suite for short-stay guests. Each community has its own living and dining rooms, with private dining options for visiting families and special occasions. Furnishings and décor throughout the home are of a high standard and offer a homely and comfortable feel.

There is a secure private garden in the centre of the grounds, a patio area to the rear of the home and a Victorian summer house - all perfect for outdoor socialising.

Meals are prepared by trained chefs who offer a varied daily menu and tailor meals to individual preferences. Residents may eat in the restaurant-style dining room or in their own rooms if preferred. All dietary requirements are catered for.

A dedicated Activities Coordinator plans a busy programme of daily events for residents to take part in if they wish. Residents also help to plan activities, outings and entertainment that they will enjoy, to make sure there is something for everyone.

As she is full time in the care home from this week, cannot give a proper assessment, but so far so good.
I will assess again after a month or so.

I always seem to be ringing up these days. My dad is happy there but he is not attended to when the emergency bell rung. I witnessed this first hand when I visited, he seemed very unwell I rang the emergency buzzer waited 10 minutes, no one came, went out to find someone. Found two staff just down the
hall chatting. I think they are understaffed. He was taken to hospital same night where he stayed for three weeks, the room is very grubby I think they were told to do a deep clean before he returned from the hospital after a second time of being admitted, shortly after the first one.

Reply from Rachel Cooney, Marketing at Barchester Elm Bank Care Home

We always operate at safe staffing levels, this is monitored through CHESS, team feedback and incident analysis. We also gain feedback on staffing at our relatives’ meetings, please feel free to pop along to the next meeting. Our team aim is to clean residents rooms every day but will respect the wishes of residents with the capacity to make their own decisions. As the acting home manager, I would be pleased to talk through this and any other questions you have either on the phone or in-person if you are able to visit.

The care and attention given to Mum has been excellent considering the mess she was in when she was discharged from the hospital. Thanks to the care of the staff, she is 100% better now. The surroundings have also helped with her rehabilitation.

Throughout my father's stay at Elm Bank, I have found the staff to be most attentive. I had no hesitation in extending his respite care as the weeks went on. The staff quickly got to know his preferences and were very accommodating in his continuing care.

I am a regular visitor to mum as I live nearby and have always been satisfied with the welcome and the way staff interact with residents etc. My mum has dementia and is limited in the number of activities she wants to take part in but she has never complained to me about the way she has been treated.
Overall, I am content she is being well looked after which has taken away the worries I had when she lived with dad who passed away a year ago.

Just wanted to say what wonderful care and attention my father received at Elm Bank. When he first went into Elm Bank he thoroughly enjoyed the activities and the food. But sadly, as he got poorly, the love, care and attention he got were second to none. Thank you, everyone, for looking after my wonderful,
precious father. I will also miss the girls on my daily visits.

Reply from Alison Geddes, Marketing Administrator at Barchester Elm Bank Care Home

Thank you for your lovely comments about our home, it is good to hear that your father enjoyed the food and activities experience we offer. At Elm Bank, we pride ourselves on our high standard of care, so we are happy that you found the care and attention given to your father as he became poorly to be 'wonderful' and 'second to none'. Your positive feedback will be passed onto the Home Manager and team, who will be pleased to receive such positive feedback. Thank you again.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.762)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.762) out of 10 for Barchester Elm Bank 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 50 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 49 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 4.762 for Barchester Elm Bank Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (473 Excellents x 5) + (102 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 592 Ratings = 4.762

  • 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 Elm Bank Care Home is based on 49 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 115 registered maximum number of service users is 23, which has been reached with 49 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.
