Hello, thank you for your comprehensive and very positive review of our lovely home and team at Blossom Fields. When faced with the reality that your parent isn't best served by staying in the family home, it's a very difficult time for everyone. We've got all the time in the world to speak with people in this situation so they may gain comfort in the selection and the process. No one knows how to go about moving into a care home and suddenly you need to know all about it! So do talk to us, my colleagues are experts and genuinely want to help. As for having meals with us, our household model is all about making everyone feel more at home and relaxed. We absolutely love it when families join us for breakfast lunch or supper! And the continuation of family and friends interactions in the resident's new home is central to their well-being. And each resident needs all of us working together to provide the very best care and service. With my best wishes, Helen.

Hello, I think making the decision to move your parent into a care home is one of life's most difficult moments. I am really happy to read that we've helped you and your dad settle into Blossom. It does take time for everyone to get used to living in a new place but your dad is welcome, warm and safe with us which means you can enjoy being his daughter knowing his care is being taken care of. My very best wishes to you and your family and of course, your dad. Best wishes, Helen.

Hello, thanks for taking the time to provide your view. It's really important that families can easily be together in a quiet space, it makes the home feel more like a family home which, of course, is our intent. My colleagues' abilities to identify how a resident is feeling and what will bring them some joy are amazing. Apart from being genuinely the right people for the roles, they do connect with the residents and they absolutely care. My best wishes to your family, thanks for your feedback. Best wishes, Helen.

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.698) out of 10 for Blossom Fields 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 36 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.
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 4.698 for Blossom Fields is calculated as follows: ( (330 Excellents x 5) + (63 Goods x 4) + (21 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 421 Ratings = 4.698
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 Blossom Fields 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 43 registered maximum number of service users is 8.6, 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.

Job Title: Registered Manager
Joined: 2022
Maggie joined the care profession in 1997 after having her first child. Having worked previously with horses and in a shoe factory, it was a big career change, but she’s never looked back. Loyal and passionate about caring for others, especially those nearing the latter stages of their lives, she’s committed to helping residents feel completely at home at Blossom Fields through kind and compassionate care. A highlight of her career to date was meeting William and Kate during their tour of the UK to thank carers who had worked through the Covid pandemic.
Job Title: Deputy Manager
Starting her career in care 30 years ago, Jude is dedicated to promoting people’s independence and helping them to live their best life. She moved into elderly care from hospital work as she wanted to get to know the people she cared for better - and to be a part of their life journey. People’s needs vary – whether it’s lending a hand or providing a lot of assistance, Jude is committed to doing everything she can to help residents, to understand their wants and needs, and to form a strong bond through caring. From acts as simple as making a resident their favourite drink to helping a family through a bereavement, she’s passionate about her work and proud that so many residents and families speak so warmly about the feeling of “home” they experience at Blossom Fields.
Job Title: Clinical Lead
Having trained as a nurse in Romania, Adrian started his career as a care assistant when he came to the UK in 2014.
He joined Blossom Fields in 2016 when he worked his way up to the position of clinical lead. Passionate about delivering outstanding care, he sees the work of a nurse as far more than just a job – rather, a care-centred lifestyle where one thinks like a nurse 24/7.

Job Title: Regional Resident Liaison Manager – Western Region
Joined: 2024
Catherine has worked in sales and marketing her whole career, after graduating with a degree in Textile Management she worked in Corporate Workwear for many years. Catherine’s first role in the care sector was working with a disability charity that ran nursing homes and enablement projects for young adults. While her two children were younger, she joined her husband in his estate agency, but was delighted to return to the care sector in 2020 and now cannot imagine doing anything else.
Catherine’s role with Allegra is to support residents and their families as they explore care options. Working with the teams in the individual homes she ensures that during every stage from initial enquiry through to moving in with us every question is answered, and we offer the reassurance needed for the next chapter in our resident’s life. It is important for our residents to remain part of the community in which will have lived for years, often all their lives, so the other part of this role is connecting with local community groups, charities and organisations.
Catherine has said that working for Allegra with their groundbreaking household model means we are offering a home with compassion and care whilst ensuring residents are retaining their independence and quality of life.
Out of work, Catherine enjoys baking, gardening and walking the family Labrador. The children are older now, but still keep her busy!
