  • Nettlestead Care Home, Bromley
Nettlestead has deliberately focused on quality rather than quantity, remaining small enough for everybody to know each other, and their clients and their families love it.

Instead of providing care as it has always been done, the owners of Nettlestead asked what they would want from a care home, and the results are what set them apart. Complementary quality wine and sherry, en-suite toilets and baths that you would be delighted to have in your own home, staff who measure their length of service in decades, and outings and activities that are chosen by the clients.

Choosing care is never easy, but from the moment you walk in the door it becomes apparent why Nettlestead is the place you will want your loved-ones to be.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Nettlestead is a very pleasant small care Home. The people working there are always very helpful and cheerful. They look after the residents well and are always friendly.
The home itself is always clean and tidy, activities are on in the lounge most if not all days. There is a nice garden with level
decking, nice seats and a summer house.

My mother has been at Nettlestead for two years now and she couldn't be happier. They strive to make the place a real home from home. Rooms are comfortable as are the communal areas. The staff are excellent and go out of their way to make residents comfortable.

We are very pleased with the high level of care and compassion provided by Nettlestead for my elderly mother who has recently become a resident. All the staff are most helpful and welcoming, making my mother's stay very pleasurable.

We have found that the whole staff are welcoming, very friendly, kind and attentive to the needs of the residents. They also have a good sense of humour which is so important when coping with and reassuring the residents - and their families. There is a warm atmosphere at Nettlestead.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.826)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.826) out of 10 for Nettlestead Care Home 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 4.826 for Nettlestead Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (97 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 115 Ratings = 4.826
  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 Nettlestead Care Home 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 20 registered maximum number of service users is 4, 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.
