Everyone who works at Blossom Fields are so friendly, kind, caring and helpful. The rooms are lovely, spacious and bright with en-suite bathrooms, the communal rooms are bright and very relaxed and there are lots of fun activities to join in with. And on top of that, the food is very good.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at Blossom Fields

Hello, thank you for your review. I completely agree with your comments, particularly about my colleagues. They're all so helpful and so much fun. They love what they do and that makes such a difference. Our spacious rooms and our household model make the home feel so much more like home, everyone relaxes and enjoys the day. Thank you again for taking the time to provide your feedback, with my best wishes, Helen.

I am happy with the staff and the care my mother gets on a daily basis. In general, I find everybody helpful and kind. The highlights for her are the arts and crafts activities. These bring her a lot of happiness.

You hope your parents will always live at home but if a life-changing event occurs and this is not possible, I would definitely recommend Blossom Fields.
Staff are respectful, compassionate, kind and give the time and care needed, which at times have needed flexibility and creativity, to meet individual
needs.
Any questions/queries the family have are listened to, talked through, developing a plan or change of care.
The team of carers are wonderful towards my family member. I can't fault how caring they have been towards my parent, giving peace of mind.
Activities provided are varied to meet everyone's interests and give stimulation.
Meals provided are also varied, presented well, individual dislikes/preferences taken into account. Family members are invited to eat with their relatives which is such an enjoyable experience. Importantly, the food tastes delicious too!
Families are involved, thought about, which is comforting to know when there is an elderly partner still at home.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at Blossom Fields

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.

The care home in Winterbourne, High Street is excellent, top marks from me, cared for my dad brilliantly. When I get old I'm definitely going there. You could ask anything and they would see to it. Food, if you didn't want what they were giving you they would go out their way and go and do something
else. Staff were so helpful, the receptionist people in the offices, they went up and beyond for anything you needed, they would help you. Every single member I spoke to at the care home and also witnessed them caring for other members that were in the home, they all had the same treatment, went above and beyond.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at Blossom Fields

Hello, thank you for your review. "Above and beyond' is a very apt description of the Blossom team's approach. It's a very happy, warm relaxed home, a very good place to be. Thanks for your comments, my colleagues will be thrilled to read them. Cheers Helen.

Staff are very friendly and caring.
Management always ready to help with settling the patient.
Access at weekend can be trying when it takes ages for staff to answer the call to open the door.
Food was very good at first, at the beginning of December, but was poor during the Christmas period.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at Blossom Fields

Hello, thank you for taking the time to provide us with your views, it is much appreciated. We will investigate the access difficulties and also what happened regarding the food service. My apologies if it wasn't up to standard, food is always important, particularly at Christmas! I am delighted to read your feedback regarding my colleagues. I too find them very helpful and caring, they're a lovely group of people who clearly love what they do. Thanks again for helping us make our service even better. With my best wishes, Helen.

I have found Blossom Fields to be exemplary in its care of my mum. The staff are always kind and gentle and go out of their way to try to accommodate residents' needs. Mum is never lonely as she loves to sit and listen and watch the staff and other residents as they go about their work and receive visitors
in the lounge. She is frequently taken along to the activity sessions and although she struggles to join in, she is surrounded by laughter and chatter which she loves. Mum is not able to walk but is hoisted into a chair and taken to the lounge daily. This makes her feel included and staff regularly talk to and smile and laugh with Mum as she is with them out there. If I have ever had a concern I have found staff and management willing to listen and try to accommodate in any way they can.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at Blossom Fields

Hello, thank you for taking the time to provide us with your views on our service. I am so delighted to read that your mum is living well with us in Blossom. It's a great place to be - because the staff are all so kind and happy and engaging. And, the residents are all really welcoming as well. It's a happy home because of the terrific people who live and work there. My colleagues in Blossom Fields will be delighted to receive your warm feedback, thank you very much, Helen.

I cannot praise all the staff at Blossom Fields enough normally but this Christmas they have all gone above and beyond! From Father Christmas running reception to the nurses and staff dressing in festive attire. My mum looked fabulous and the atmosphere throughout the home was (as always) warm, homely
and considerate.
A difficult time of the year without your loved ones being at home with you but wonderful to know that the care they continue to receive at Blossom is as near to perfect as you could possibly get. Thank you all so very much!

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at Blossom Fields

Hello, what a lovely response to receive, thank you very much. It has to be a special place when Santa is on reception doesn't it? From our household model to our kind, experienced manager to the warm and caring team, Blossom has it all. They also have a great knack for celebrating which, as you saw, is really evident at Christmas. My colleagues in Blossom Fields will be delighted to read your feedback, thank you very much, Helen.

Dad has been at Blossom Fields for about six weeks so far. The care that he is receiving is excellent. All of the care workers are so lovely and friendly and go out of their way to provide updates on how Dad is doing.
The environment is really nice, clean and well-furnished. The food also looks really
good and care is taken over the presentation.
It's a nice touch that you can hang pictures and photos on the walls to make it more homely.
This was such a difficult decision for us, as far as my dad's care goes, but the management and staff have really helped us and Dad to get used to his new home. As his daughter, it is such a relief to know that he is being looked after so well.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at Blossom Fields

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.

After visiting five homes, we were very pleased to be received with a very professional introduction and after six months, my wife has had very good care for her Lewy body dementia. The staff have been exemplary.

I am so delighted to read that your wife is settled in Blossom and enjoying the service and care from my brilliant Blossom colleagues.

I cannot rate more highly the professional care, consideration and kindness shown to my dad since his arrival at Blossom Fields. From day one the team have welcomed my father (and me!) into their community, at an exceptionally stressful time. Each and every member of the team has been great, and gone
above and beyond, including the leadership team who have been totally open and supportive. I didn't think that the next stage of Dad's life would bring him much joy, but the exceptionally thoughtful, high quality, very human care of the team has brought a smile back to his face. Thank you team Blossom Fields for all you do for my dad, for me and my family.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at Blossom Fields

Oh my word, your comments have really hit home for us all, thank you. Blossom is a lovely place to be because the people make it so special. They are all welcoming, they enjoy family members joining in and there's always laughter and support in Blossom. I am delighted to share this special feedback with the team now. Thank you very much, Helen.

My father was in the care of Blossom Fields for nine months. The level of care, compassion and professionalism was excellent. The staff are very gentle and patient and are on hand at all times. My father loved the food, especially the daily homemade cakes. The manager and her team go continually to
heights of care that I don't believe are normally experienced. I have nothing but praise for those looking after my father and would happily recommend Blossom Fields to anyone nervous about placing their loved ones in care.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at Blossom Fields

Hello, thank you for your kind and considered review of Blossom Fields. I am so delighted to read your comments on the kindness of the team and the whole team's willingness to do whatever can be done for the much-loved residents. And yes I agree, those homemade cakes, wow! With my thanks for your review and my best wishes for your family, Helen.

I visit two friends at Blossom Fields and I am always impressed by how well they are both cared for. Speaking to both of them, they say that the staff are very caring and do everything they can to help them. One friend who is unable to stand on his own has a special alarm fitted under his chair seat
and if he starts to wriggle to the end, the alarm is activated and a nurse comes and checks that he is safe. This has happened several times while I have been visiting. My other friend says that the food is very good and plenty of it!

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at Blossom Fields

Hello, thank you for taking the time to provide us with your valuable feedback. It's really helpful to us when we receive feedback from regular visitors who actually witness how the service is working for our residents. My colleagues in Blossom are just delightful. They are warm and happy and genuinely love what they do and it shows. The use of technology to help us support residents' independence safely is something to which we commit because it works well helping staff be in the right place at the right time. The food, oh yes, it's really good at Blossom. My colleagues in the home will be delighted to read your comments, thank you very much, Helen.

I'm very pleased with the care and support Mum has received at Blossom Fields. Unfortunately, she is too ill to join in with activities but the entertainment lady tries hard to include her.
The quality and choices of meals are good for Mum who is a very "picky" eater.
All the staff are very kind
and help her in every way they can.

My mother has vascular dementia and all the staff are flexible and understanding to her changing needs, making every effort to encourage and involve her when she is keen but equally allowing her extended rests at the times she doesn't. The patio and garden areas are an extra dimension to our ability
to have quiet time away from the main areas. Thank you everyone, we really appreciate everything you do.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at Blossom Fields

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.

I can't find anything we don't like about Blossom. The care and attention to my mum is wonderful. The staff are so caring and helpful. The activities are brilliant, well done to the team, Mum has really responded well to your music and activity sessions e.g, balloon (thank you, to the activity person).
This is both mine and my sister's feelings towards everything you all do for Mum.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at Blossom Fields

Thank you for your feedback; we really appreciate you taking the time to tell us your views. I am, of course, delighted to see our wonderful Blossom achieve five stars! Thank you. My colleagues will be absolutely chuffed to bits. It means so much to us when family members tell us we're on the right track, that our care and service are right and that 'our' resident is happy and relaxed. My best wishes to the family, cheers.

My mother has been in Blossom Fields since October 2023. Myself and my daughter are very happy with the care and compassion my mother has received since arriving in the nursing home. They are very quick to pick up any medical issues that may require attention, and we are advised immediately.

My dad is so beautifully cared for by all the staff. This includes chefs, housekeepers, receptionists as well as the nursing staff and activity coordinator. He feels safe and loved. This gives us peace of mind knowing that all his needs, both emotional and physical, are met. I can then enjoy visiting
him without worrying about his welfare we can just enjoy our time together and be relaxed.

Hello, thank you very much for providing your feedback. I am delighted to read that you're able to relax and enjoy the visits with your dad.

My father has been at Blossom Fields since March 2020 and has received very good care, he is always kept very clean and comfortable and always appears quite happy and content. The staff are obliging and always keen to help with any requests from the family. There are numerous events taking place if
my father wishes to take part or to go into the garden, which is very pleasant. The management team is friendly and helpful, very pleased that there was a place free at Blossom Fields at a difficult time at the start of Covid.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at Blossom Fields

Hello, thank you for your review. We appreciate it very much when family members tell us their thoughts and experiences, it helps us to keep the service right and improving. The Blossom team is terrific, they're all helpful and positive and they have a terrific manager. We're very lucky to work with this team, all of whom will be thrilled to read your comments.

The last place I would put my parents would be a care home, I always said. Push came to shove and I had no choice. Looked at a few care homes and it was a no straight away. Walked into Blossom Fields, Winterbourne and it was a straight yes. Staff are all wonderful and respectful to all patients, food
is good. Showered regularly and always look clean. They have outside entertainers come in to entertain them.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at Blossom Fields

Hello, thanks for taking the time to provide your feedback. Your experience absolutely resonated with me. I am so delighted that we felt like the right home straight away. The fact that the home is nice, has the household model in it and is always clean and tidy with great food really contributes to giving you the sense of it being the right home. However, it's the people who make the difference and my colleagues in Blossom are fabulous. They're warm and happy and always take great care with all our residents. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. Best wishes, Helen.

I chose this nursing home for my husband, who is living with Alzheimer's, because of its homely feel and enthusiasm the manager and her deputy clearly have for the work of the home. They have an open-door policy and are always available to residents, staff and visitors. I have found care to be gentle,
patient and considerate of my husband's needs as an individual and I like the way that everyone working here takes time to chat with residents and help each other out when needed.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at Blossom Fields

Hello, thank you for your lovely feedback, it makes such a difference to us all when we read that we are getting things right for you and your husband. We have a great team in Blossom, well led by a lovely manager who genuinely cares. It makes such a difference. Thanks again, Helen.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.698)

Overview of Review Score

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.

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 4.698 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.

Maggie Dance

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.


Jude

Jude Brain

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.

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!
