We are extremely pleased with Baugh House. My mother has settled very quickly. She looks so well and her health has improved. Everyone is helpful, co-operative and friendly. It is more like an extended family with the residents being treated with respect.

I must say that within the last month, a lot of improvement has been made and I am happy to see that carers and staff are much happier. Therefore they do their job better. Keep it up and good luck.

The home tends to all my aunt's needs, 24/7 nursing care. All the staff from top to bottom are always polite and cheerful. They always have a moment to talk if I need any information. My aunt recently had her 87th birthday. The staff knew we were coming and they prepared the lounge for us with laid
tables, decorations and tea. They even brought in a birthday cake and all sang Happy Birthday. My aunt is always clean, her room is always clean and tidy.

Baugh House took care of our Dad in the last weeks of life giving respect, comfort and dignity. Everyone from ‘House Keeper’ to Manager and everybody in between was brilliant. Care goes well beyond professional expectation –individuals constantly demonstrate that work is a vocation, not just a job.
We also saw how staff were with other residents and were so impressed. The place is ordered, happy and bustling. Staff take responsibility seriously within a sense of family and fun. In the short time we were there we felt completely supported. For us, the level of substantive nursing care was of paramount importance and was excellent. We couldn’t have done better if we had gone to a hospice. In Dad’s final hours we wouldn’t have wanted to be anywhere else. Nursing staff are intelligent, professional and approachable. There was enormous relief knowing we could walk away and be confident that he would be properly cared for. Our only regret was that we didn’t find it sooner.

The majority of the staff are very helpful but have heard recently that some of the staff are leaving so I'm hoping their replacements will be as helpful. One lady is a great asset to the home. She helps put a smile on our faces as well as tirelessly organises entertainment for the residents and assists
in their care when needed. The food has improved greatly not only in quality but also in variety since the appointment of the new chef. Cleanliness and maintenance of equipment and furniture e.g. wheelchairs, over chair tables and armchairs in the lounge could do with improving. I have noticed items on the floor of the lounge that have been left there for weeks. I cannot comment much on the management as there has been a recent change and have so far not had much involvement with them.

the window in our bedroom is too small and I feel a lot better since staying here. It's definitely what I needed. The food is improving slightly but I wish there wouldn't be too much mince on the menu and food is bland. I feel desserts should have more of a variety as tend to get ice-cream a lot. I
like that I am safe here and it's peaceful. I like the friendliness of staff; they are efficient and looking after us well. When we press the buzzer, the staff come quickly.

In the first years, my wife was active and fully mobile and the care required was minimal that care she received, however, was of a high standard and served her needs well. Unfortunately, after a two-month stay in hospital with a serious illness, she was left unable to walk and feed herself properly.
Since being wheelchair bound I have found equipment and facilities that my wife requires as first class. In recent months stay they have experienced some staffing difficulties, which the new manager is on top of and coping well.

My grandfather has been living at Baugh House for almost 2years, due to the distance I have to travel I very rarely have the ability to visit him, but my mother keeps me updated with everything to do with his care.
Recently the home has had a lot of problems but since the new management has started,
the home has been much better than ever before. The new home manager has made such a positive difference in her short time working at Baugh House, and the new chef is making some lovely meals. My grandfather is eating so much more than he has been and the care staff and cleaning team have always been very good.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5

A home with no effective leadership or management. Dad was asked to leave after we, as a family, spent too much time at the "home" wanting to play an active part in our father's care. Most staff were caring but spent the majority of their time filling in paperwork and spent little time interacting
with residents and giving much needed 1-1 attention. Many staff members left during the 6 months Dad was there, not least because they felt unsupported by management.

Reply from Duncan Smith, Regional Manager at Baugh House

As an organisation, any action taken is very much a last resort and is only ever carried out after all other avenues or solutions have been exhausted. A decision such as this is only arrived at if we feel that we are unable to meet an individual's needs or if their well-being or safety would be compromised if they remained in the home. No decision should ever be taken without consultation with stakeholders such as relatives, safeguarding teams, social workers and any other professionals that would be involved. We would happily welcome any further discussions if there is any uncertainty around any decision that was made.

During mums last week with advanced dementia the staff show care which continued through to the end. Both washing, moisturising and settling only speaking to my family to ensure we were ok too. Treating mum with kindness and dignity at all times.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.592)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.592) out of 10 for Baugh House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.592 for Baugh House is calculated as follows: ( (239 Excellents x 5) + (97 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 355 Ratings = 4.592

  • 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 Baugh House is based on 29 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 29 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.
