Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have found the caring for my mother and the understanding of staff have for her completely and without exception, wonderful. As she is getting older she is needing more care and understanding and they give her that. This also helps me so much knowing that my Mum is as happy as she can be and I don't
have to feel guilty or worry about her being in Bishopsteignton House. I always get a telephone call if there is a problem with Mum, like a fall and have trust in them. The staff also have the much-needed sense of humour.

Review from Margaret M (Sister of Resident) published on 17 January 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My brother was a resident at Bishopsteignton House for just over two months. I am his only relative and live in the East of England so was only able to visit him on a couple of occasions. The care he received was wonderful. All the staff were very caring and made the last weeks of his life happy and
comfortable. Their support for me at this difficult time was excellent. All members of staff were kind and reassuring and I was kept informed. I cannot thank them enough.

Review from John G (Son of Resident) published on 27 September 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum took up residence in March after accepting the need for 24-hour care. This was not going to be provided whilst still living at home. The move to Bishopsteignton House was not without it's difficulties and challenges, but gradual acceptance of the new surroundings, and an appreciation of the new
regime took place. My sister and I have been extremely grateful for the care and compassion shown - such a huge weight off our minds. My mother enjoys the friendliness of the staff and the warmth, comfort and outstanding views from her room. It has now become a home from home.

My Mother was resident at Bishopteignton House for two years up until her death in February. The quality of care she received whilst at the home was excellent. All the staff have a commitment to welfare showing loving compassion empathy & patience. My Mother was treated with dignity throughout. I
have no hesitation in recommending this facility.

The manager and staff were really kind and helpful and supported mum to get her back on her feet and walking so that she was able to go home. A lovely building in a really nice situation and well cared for. Very friendly staff and clients made for a pleasant stay.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.996 for Bishopsteignton House is calculated as follows: ( (251 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 252 Ratings = 4.996
  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 Bishopsteignton House is based on 21 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 + 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 21 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.
