Review from Sandra S (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 November 2022 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As her daughter, I found the whole experience of all staff members being very compassionate, relaxed and very committed to taking care of all residents. They made us more than welcome and explained everything in detail. Mum would be looked after and observed 24/7. Phone calls that I have made to Bluegrove
House to find out how mum was, the staff were very polite and reassured me that she was settling in well. I and my husband are very pleased with the whole experience to know that she is being looked after so well.

Management and staff are very professional and caring, considerate and thoughtful and maintained frequent communications in an end-of-life situation.
Additionally, in prior years, had provided excellent care with compassion for the person in care.

I am the sister of a resident and I visit him regularly. I find the staff very friendly and helpful. He is happy at Bluegrive House, apart from there is no gym or no keep fit classes for the younger residents. My brother is 67, so because of this, he gets very bored.
Reply from Pamella Clarke-Dayes, Manager at Bluegrove House

Thank you for taking the time to review Bluegrove House, and we are pleased that you rate our overall experience as very good. We have a daily, weekly and monthly activity programme, which includes Zest. The programme has been arranged with our resident's input. We also have one-to-one activities but respect our resident's wishes if they don't wish to participate. We are happy to discuss all aspects of our care at a mutually convenient time.

From the minute you enter, Bluegrive House looks clean, smart and professional. Staff are friendly and helpful, and our friend, who is a resident, says everyone is very kind to her. She would, however, like to meet other residents and have a choice of foods more suitable to her taste.

I am very pleased my mother has moved into the home, all staff are polite and welcoming, easy to approach to discuss concerns, my mother has dementia and arthritis which has affected her mobility in getting around, she can be extremely rude and challenging but staff have been extremely patient and caring
to support her, they report to you straight away about any falls or issues and always there to support family members. Thank you all.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Bluegrove has a lovely welcoming family feel whenever I visit (5 or 6 times a week).
Every member of staff shows kind care to my friend and other residents.
My friend moved into Bluegrove last month and is finding it very difficult to adjust. The staff have been so kind in helping my friend to settle
and are constantly looking at ways to help her join in with activities and mix with others, with great patience!
The Jubilee Weekend was fantastic. My friend enjoyed the afternoon tea gathering on Thursday and then on Friday lunch. I was invited to enjoy another celebration. The place was full of flags and bunting, loads of tasty food served to us, and lively music, dancing and sing-along songs. It was such a beautiful day, and many of us were out in the garden. Staff were continually including those who seemed on their own, and took hands and walked around the garden to settle some residents. Total fun, along with total care. So huge thanks to a wonderful team of staff.

My mum has dementia and can't be at home. She needs 24-hour care. Bluegrove gives her reassurance, comfort and care. The staff are caring, understanding and professional. The manager is approachable, fair and accommodating. I am relieved my mum is looked after.

Bluegrove has cared for my aunt for a long time. They have managed her dementia in a kind and sympathetic way as I know my aunt can be very difficult. The staff and management have always had their client's best interests at heart. I cannot thank them enough.

The friend that I visit is very frail. The staff are kind, friendly and caring and my friend appreciates that very much. When there have been any health issues quick attention has been taken to ensure appropriate medical treatment. My friend also enjoys the social and other events organised. The room
decor could be improved.
Reply from Pamella Clarke-Dayes, Home Manager at Bluegrove House

Thank you for taking the time to review Bluegrove House and we are pleased you rate our care and support as excellent. We appreciate your feedback regarding the décor in your friend’s room. Following our conversations, we have now completed the redecoration of the room.

Review from E B (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 1 March 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My nan has recently moved into Bluegrove, and I am so impressed with the experience so far. She has dementia, and she has some behaviour which is hard to manage at times, but the staff have been so accommodating, understanding and welcoming. The facilities are clean and well kept. Lots of activities
and opportunities to engage with other residents.
Staff have put the effort into getting to know her individual needs and seem to know her character well, even in the short time that she’s been there.
I was worried that moving her into a care home would simply replace the anxiety of her being at home alone with the stress of whether she is being looked after well - this has not been the case, and I feel confident she is getting the care she needs.

My mum who has dementia has settled into Bluegrove extremely well with the help of all the staff. Her key worker has been so helpful, patient and understanding. We are so pleased with how mum is getting on. We knew this was going to be a hard process but thanks to the staff they have made this so much
easier for us as a family, knowing how well she is being cared for.

My mum has been at Bluegrove House for just over a month and has settled in very well. She has a lovely room and is well cared for. The staff are very attentive and nothing is too much trouble. Staff are always available to talk to and if they can’t help or answer particular questions they will find
someone who can. During visits, she always tells us how nice the staff are. She has already made friends with other resident's and enjoys their time together in the tv lounge and at mealtimes.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.822)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.822) out of 10 for Bluegrove House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.822 for Bluegrove House is calculated as follows: ( (99 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 118 Ratings = 4.822
  2. 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 Bluegrove House is based on 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, which has been reached with 10 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
