My dad is currently at boars tye house and I can't speak highly enough about every member of staff , my dad is the best he has been in many years my old dad is back , he is joining in with activities has formed a real bond with staff and has daily banter .
Dad is receiving real person centred care
based around his wishes and not the care homes . He doesn't eat a cooked meal at lunch so he has his around the time he has always had dinner .
The home is always clean and well staffed , there is always a member of staff in the day lounge .
Having worked in a care I had high standards but from the first visit prior to dad being admitted I was really impressed and knew dad would be well cared for , I really can't
fault them at all .

We was recommended to the home by one of my customers his wife spent 3 years at Boars Tye we was initially shown around by Jenny who talked us through the whole
process of caring for our Mum
we didn't hesitate in choosing Boars Tye for Mums care.
The care home felt like a home from home. We had the use of the staff kitchen so we could help ourselves to drinks always welcome to have meal with mum.

Mum spent 6 weeks at Boars Tye on temporary care after a hospital stay. The staff were absolutely wonderful and friendly. They couldn't have done more for her. She was incredibly happy during her stay and we were all very grateful. It was sad that there wasn't a permanent place for her available as
we would have loved for her to have been able to remain and continue the fantastic care she had been receiving. We will miss everyone and couldn't recommend them more.

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 27 registered maximum number of service users is 5.4, which has been reached with 29 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.
