I have found the management and the staff always helpful and friendly.
The carers treat the residents with respect and kindness.
I'm impressed by the efforts made in this home to connect with and stimulate the residents.
The monthly cost is, though, rather a lot to have to find.

Generally, we find Broadmead a very good and friendly care home.
It is well run and the staff have a proactive approach.
Broadmead seems to have a consistency of staff, which means we have got to know them well and they take a real interest in our relative.
The office and phones are not manned at
the weekend, which can make contact and getting in the building difficult.
The lounge area can get quite busy sometimes and difficult to find space to sit with relatives.
The rooms are lovely and kept clean and tidy.
The building its self is in a good location, not near any major road or noise.
There are walks and places for relatives and visitors to go in the village and nearby garden centre.

My mother is very happy and her needs are taken care of to a high standard. She is always dressed nicely including the accessories she likes. The staff are friendly and caring.
There are many varied activities that mum enjoys and participates in.
The staff respond to mum's needs appropriately and
relatives and visitors are made welcome at any time.
I would like the staff to wear badges as visitors and residents would find it useful to learn carers names.

Great team at Broadmead who know the residents very well. Good standard of rooms and the home is clean and well maintained - Bottom line is that it's all about the staff and the manager have created a team of dedicated professionals who take a genuine interest in the care of the residents. My mum loved
it there and I would recommend wholeheartedly.

During my Mum's time at Broadmead, I can't praise all the staff enough for the way they took care of here. Mum had Dementia and wasn't easy to deal with but they all gave her dignity, care and help that she needed. The staff are amazing and the home itself is second to none, light and comfortable, activities
and fun are important to them and all residents are encouraged to take part. I was always kept in the loop and the home contacted me regularly and nothing was too much for them to do for Mum. Sadly she passed away recently, I am forever grateful for the care given and for making her last few months as comfortable as possible. I don't think they will forget my Mum and I know I shall not forget them. A big 'thank you' to you all for all you do, I would highly recommend Broadmead Rest Home to anyone.

My husband was pretty impressed with his care. He was content, happy and relaxed and feedback we had was that he enjoyed and participated in all the leisure activities. He enjoyed the staff and could relate to other residents. All in all, I would say his week was stimulating and a big success.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

I was looking for a new care home for my father back in October 2017 and after visiting six, I was fortunate enough to visit Broadmead and after a short meeting with the manager and seeing the organisation, I decided this was the only place for my father.


Four months have now passed and I am totally

impressed with everything. The staff are fantastic and clearly work as a professional team together.
Residents are well looked after around the clock with a great daily menu and entertainment. The resident's rooms are state of the art with specialists beds and on suite wet rooms, television and radio rather like a modern hotel.


The building is newly built to cater for the modern needs of residents with no expense spared rather than an old hotel that has simply been adapted to a budget.


Fantastic 10/10.

We have found the care home very caring and friendly. There is almost a family atmosphere. The staff are all very friendly and caring. The food is very good and there is a varied choice. They have an activity/lifestyle coordinator who is amazing and tries to involve all the residents. Sometimes the
staff seem very busy and this leaves other residents left a little.
This only happens occasionally depending on the demands of the other residents.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.889)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.889) out of 10 for Broadmead Resthome is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.889 for Broadmead Resthome is calculated as follows: ( (209 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 235 Ratings = 4.889

  • b) 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 Broadmead Resthome is based on 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 38 registered maximum number of service users is 7.6, which has been reached with 20 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
