My mother had severe vascular dementia.
Fordingbridge Nursing home was able to care for her and keep her reasonably content, despite her challenging behaviour.
Three previous homes gave notice to my mother because they could not cope with fairly typical behaviour for someone in the later stages of
dementia. Although they gave dementia as one of the things they specialised in and had assessed her before they took her, in practice, they could cope only with memory loss in a quiet, non-aggressive person.
Fordingbridge Nursing Home gives its residents as much freedom as possible, within a secure, well-staffed setting. Residents can eat and sleep when they like, walk around freely, have snacks when they want one, make a noise if they want to, etc.
The staff were well trained and professional and clearly very fond of their residents.
The management was efficient and helpful.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.652)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.652) out of 10 for Fordingbridge Care Home 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.652 for Fordingbridge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (98 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 138 Ratings = 4.652

  • 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 Fordingbridge Care Home is based on 12 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 12 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.

Katrina

Katrina

Job Title: Deputy Manager

Katrina qualified as registered mental health nurse in 2000 after completing her three years training in Cornwall. She started her post qualification career at The Priory Hospital Marchwood, then working in the NHS from 2002 to 2015 when she joined Fordingbridge as Deputy Matron. She loves her current job within Fordingbridge and likes to make it a happy and fun place for all the residents who reside there. Joining her at work is her Cavapoo puppy Archie who comes everywhere with her and likes to visit the residents where he will also hoover up crumbs from the floor!


In her time off Katrina enjoys walking with Archie in the New Forest or the beach, or spending time with her husband and two children exploring the area. Katrina as Clinical Manager ensures the highest standards of care and support are provided to our residents at Fordingbridge.


Carole

Carole

Job Title: Administrator

Following a career working as an administrator for a children’s centre, Carole Ann took on a similar role at Fordingbridge Care Home in 2013. Her position enables her to use her organisational and people skills to ensure the smooth day-to-day running of the home and perform the many administrative functions that this entails. With two adult daughters and three teenage grand-daughters, outside work she enjoys spending time in the garden with her husband, reading, crown green bowling.


Jacqueline

Jacqueline Smith

Job Title: Regional Manager South

Working for eleven years as a Social Worker and Team Manager in Adult Services, Jacqueline relished supporting care providers with their safeguarding, quality and compliance requirements. Based on this experience, she then sought a move into working with a residential care provider. Jacqueline approached Allegra Care first, as she felt that the company’s values, care principles and household model aligned very closely with her own vision of what good care should look like. As Regional Manager, her passion for outstanding care is self-evident as she supports homes and colleagues across Hampshire. She also thinks laughter is a great tonic – and her cheeky sense of humour is infectious.


Away from work, Jacqueline enjoys eating out, cinema and horse racing. As a mother of two grown-up children, she enjoys spending time with her friends, her family and her two grandchildren.

Jacqui Tucker

Job Title: Regional Relationship Liaison Manager South and Central Regions

Joined: 2022

After working for 14 years as a renal nurse specialist, Jacqui changed her career to be around more for her young children.

Now, as Regional Relationship Liaison Manager for Allegra Care, she brings her diverse portfolio of skills to the task of supporting the homes and helping the company develop its profile in the elderly care sector.
