Caring staff. The home is clean and tidy especially individual rooms. It always smells fresh when entering the home. There is background music most of the time which gives a homely feel to the home. Medical problems are always dealt with quickly with family being informed as soon as possible. Overall
I am very happy that my mum is being looked after in Bullsmoor Lodge.

Mum became a resident in Bullsmoor Lodge during September 2019. The first impression of the home is welcoming, clean and bright. Mum's room is newly decorated and on the ground floor near to all she needs. Staff from management to helpers are all dedicated to providing a caring environment for the residents.
I am particularly impressed with the regular medical check-ups and visits from the GP.

I am very impressed with the care, love and cleanliness of this home. The carers and managers give more than 100% of their love to the residents. My mother-in-law loves being there, after 5 months is very settled and now calls it home. I have been to care homes where the smell is really bad, and the
rooms are dirty, this is not the case with Bullsmoor.

Mother-in-law has settled in well in the home.
She is relaxed and joins in with the activities organised by the staff. The home has a relaxed and informal atmosphere generated by staff. Although relaxed, the staff are very thorough and attentive. Mother-in-law is relaxed and says she is happy there
though sometimes talks about going home but this is to her childhood home.

Review from Vince S (Son of Resident) published on 12 August 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
The Home is generally well run with good management and my Mother is happy there. It is, however, let down by a lack of communication e.g some staff were not told that my mother is a vegetarian and this still happens despite her making this clear. In addition, staff are sometimes very rushed and do
not give my Mother the time that she needs. Some staff are very friendly whilst others, unfortunately, are less so.
Reply from Luke Sargeant, Operations Director at Bullsmoor Lodge

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we are saddened that these issues which we felt had been addressed at the time are still causing you some distress. Having liaised with the management, they were unaware that there were ongoing concerns and it would be very much appreciated if you can discuss these directly with the Registered Manager so she can fully investigate the issues and resolve them for you and your mother. The hotel is sufficiently staffed so that there should never be any feeling of being rushed and we would like to know exactly who you feel has been unfriendly so that this may be discussed with them. Thanks again for your feedback.

My grandmother has lived at Bullsmoor Lodge for over twenty years. The staff have always been very caring and the staff turnover is very low, which has meant my grandmother has a very positive relationship with staff. Our whole family have always been very pleased with all aspects of her care.

My mum has been a resident in Bullsmoor Lodge for several years and I am pleased to report I still have confidence and complete peace of mind knowing that she is cared for with kindness and dignity. I am a regular visitor to the home, am always made welcome and any issues I may have regarding mum
are dealt with promptly. I think the 'jewels in the crown' of Bullsmoor Lodge are the staff, I couldn't ask for better people to look after my mum.

The staff, as far as I have seen are very helpful and friendly and do their best to maintain the happiness and well being of the residence. The management of the home is also to be commended. I can only go by what I have seen, but it would be nice if fresh fruit ie peaches, grapes, strawberries are
offered to residents. Also the choice of a slice of mature cheddar and freshly cut bread, instead of pre-cut.

My mother has been at Bullsmoor Lodge for nearly 4 1/2 years. She is treated with dignity and respect. The staff always find a way of understanding her needs, especially when she is not having a good day.
There is a good variety of food on offer to the residents. Although my mother does not always
participate, they have a variety of activities and entertainment for the residents.
They notice quickly when there is a change in my mother’s health and keep me informed of the doctor's visits and change to her medication.

The care home is managed very well there is always plenty of staff around and they seem to interact with the residents in a happy jovial way.
My mum has a lovely room which was redecorated and refurnished before she moved in. The home has an excellent detailed care plan for her and has managed to stabilise
her screaming and mood swings. I can honestly say I am very satisfied with the care she is receiving.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.860)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.860) out of 10 for Bullsmoor Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.860 for Bullsmoor Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (239 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 272 Ratings = 4.86
  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 Bullsmoor Lodge is based on 23 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 23 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.
