Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mother entered this care home in July 2015, initially for a few days respite care. She has problems walking, apart from at night when she wanders a lot without apparent pain, and dementia. Immediately the staff made her really welcome and were friendly and warm towards her as well as making sure
she ate well and took her medicine. The rooms were also really nice and the whole home had a welcoming warm feel about it. As a result of this initial visit we booked my mother in there on a permanent basis and we are really pleased we did this.


My brothers and I and all my mum's visitors have always been made to feel welcome. As well as that the other people staying in the home and their visitors are also friendly and welcoming and happy to talk about what is going on. They have regular events and activities and try to make sure that residents, such as my mother with dementia, as well as those without join in as much as they can. Resident's families and visitors are also invited to join in with any event they are interested in.


All the members of staff from the carers through to the cooks and other support staff seem to know every resident by name.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.872)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.872) out of 10 for Buckingham Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.872 for Buckingham Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (225 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 257 Ratings = 4.872

  • 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 Buckingham Care Home is based on 22 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 72 registered maximum number of service users is 14.4, which has been reached with 22 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.
