Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our mum has been at Bluegrove for over a year now as she has dementia. Yesterday mum had a bit of a dip and was extremely confused, upset and distressed. I feel like I need to write this review as I can honestly say that the care and support that was given to my mum and me yesterday evening was
so lovely. I am not sure if a can name the staff who supported my mum but they know who they are and they were truly wonderful and cannot thank them enough.

My Aunt has been in the care of Bluegrove for many years now and is probably their longest serving resident. They are a very caring team and continue to look after her extremely well. As I live such a distance away, it is very reassuring to know that she is in safe hands.

My friend has been living in Bluegrove House for just over 6 months. We are satisfied with the care which she receives. Her room is very pleasant, clean and comfortable and so are the communal areas. Food is freshly prepared on the premises and it is tasty and of good quality. My friend particularly
enjoys Bluegrove House parties and loves dancing to music. Thank you to all staff for looking after her!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has been extremely happy since been in the care home. He is well cared for, the staff are friendly and take good care of him. Blue Grove Home is very clean and tidy. My father did not have an appetite when he moved in and had lost tremendous weight. Now he has a good appetite and has gained
weight. He has made friends with the other resident and the staff loves him. He enjoys playing dominos with the staff to keep him entertained. I was so impressed that Father’s Day was celebrated by the care home. I am happy we chose Blue Grove House would recommend 100%.

Mum has been at Bluegrove for 18 months. She was well looked after, carers were very good, kind, respectful of her and her dignity. Yes, she had some down days, sadly many now have dementia, mum didn't and she struggled with that, communication-wise.
From the office staff to the day carers I always
found them very helpful and sorted any queries promptly. Thank you all.

My Mum has not been here long but up to now, I'm very happy with Bluegrove care home. My mum seems to have settled in and is looked after very well. l find all the staff very friendly and very helpful.
I think the garden needs tidying up not sure if they have a gardener? and hopefully can get rid of
the mice l have seen them in my mum's room a lot.
But very happy.

Every time I have visited Bluegrove House the staff has been friendly, professional and very accommodating. My dad is always clean, well dressed and seems happy in his new environment. Due to Covid-19, we were not able to set up or visit the room, however, the staff sent us a video of the room via email
that was very reassuring. Thanks to everyone for their help with this difficult transition.

Came up from Sussex to visit a friend. Inital impression was good - no smell, bright and welcoming reception and helpful staff. Our friend's room was spacious, clean and with plenty of family photographs displayed around the room. Our friend looked well, was dressed in appropriate and clean clothes
- he seemed quite content. A real effort had been made to make everywhere bright and welcoming - liked the butterflies along the corridors. The staff were all friendly and helpful.

Review from C C (Sister-in-law of Resident) published on 13 February 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Yesterday, with two friends, I visited my brother-in-law. Previously I telephone to make enquired with regards to visiting and directions, both times the staff answering were warm, polite and helpful.
On arrival to Bluegrove, our first impression was 'no care/nursing home smell' as many other homes
we have visited. The reception by staff was warm and welcoming, a member of staff readily showed us to where my relative was sitting.
I can only review what I experienced hence some n/a on the form. I can, however, readily say how impressed I was with the whole set up. The decor was pleasant all over and lovely little extras like the butterflies on the walls, curtains that you would like in your own home not bog-standard. Safety features encountered were good e.g. coded doors at the top of the stairs, smoking equipment supervised and not allowed in resident's rooms. Our relatives bedroom was a nice size, clean, well equipped and again no unpleasant odours. Above all the staff we met were so caring.
My overall opinion is that Bluegrove has a happy atmosphere that provides a home for residents rather than a place to exist. We, as visitors, felt valued and welcomed.

The home is bright, clean and welcoming. There is a choice of sitting in the lounge with other residents or moving to the other one for some quiet time alone. We also like to walk around the garden together. The staff are always friendly and welcoming.

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.
