Review from Tina R (Mother of Resident) published on 23 April 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been a resident at the Bungalow for 8 years, it is an amazing home from home environment, the manager Amanda is such an understanding warm motherly person, the staff are like aunts, and I consider them like an extended family, I can visit anytime, day or night, although I do respect
it is their home. The food provided is homely, and all home cooked, from a full english to a proper roast on a sunday, curry's, pasta dishes, all cooked from scratch. My daughters needs are totally met, with love and care, she is so happy. I couldnt ask for a better environment.

Review from S D (Sister of Resident) published on 23 June 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The Bungalow provides a caring environment where residents are carers are like family; a safe and comfortable home for my brother.
He is treated with dignity and respect by all carers and family are welcome to visit at any time. He has a relaxing and comfortable room and his needs are always given
highest consideration.
I cannot recommend The Bungalow highly enough to others with vulnerable family members. 5 stars!

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.000)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.000) out of 10 for The Bungalow is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for The Bungalow is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5
  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 4 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Bungalow is based on 1 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 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 = 3
    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 5 registered maximum number of service users is 1, which has been reached with 1 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.
