Our late mother was a resident at Shrublands for about 5 years until she passed away last month. The informal and cozy family atmosphere was absolutely perfect for her and the level of care was consistently very high. Mum took to Shrublands right from the beginning and felt very much at home there.
She enjoyed the outdoor spaces and communal areas, and had a lovely spacious room with ensuite facilities where she felt very much at home. The team of carers were friendly, kind and efficient.
She enjoyed the excellent home-cooking and the communal meals.
Our family would highly recommend Shrublands.

My mum has been in Shrublands since February 2023 and is loving it. She has someone to care for her when she requires it. She thinks the food is wonderful, home-cooked and a good variety. She has someone to talk to whenever she fancies a chat. Can't praise the home enough!

My mother has been resident for twenty months at Shrublands. She is happy and settled and receives very good care. Staff are attentive and managers always available. I and my brothers have no complaints, concerns or worries.

The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The care home is not posh but very homely just like being at home. It's the care that matters not the surroundings. My friend is getting love, care and is well looked after that is all she needs.

I can't thank the team of carers at Shrublands enough. They provided such great care and support to my Father and although he was only with them a short time he settled in well and Shrublands was very much a home-from-home.

Thank you, Shrublands and all its staff.
Everyone has been most helpful to my mother since she came to Shrublands.
Especially in the last couple of years, coping with the pandemic and the change of staff in the care home.
All members of staff are most welcoming when I visit my mother.
Once again,
thank you all for your hard work and dedication.

My friend has been a resident for approximately nine years. She has no mobility or speech but is treated with loving care. A smile and a hug is readily available by the staff. Visitors are always made very welcome. The food is freshly cooked, homemade and nicely presented. The kitchen diner is very
homely where residents can sit, play cards, have a cuppa or just chat with staff. Definitely a home-from-home. I'd live here.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (8.984)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (8.984) out of 10 for Shrublands Residential Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 4 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 4.609 for Shrublands Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (30 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 46 Ratings = 4.609

  • 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 4.375 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Shrublands Residential Care Home is based on 4 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 = 3.375

    • 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 9 registered maximum number of service users is 1.8, which has been reached with 4 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.
