My mother-in-law has been in Bascombe Court for seven years and we have visited the home throughout this time. We always come unannounced so we see the home as it normally is. We cannot fault it. Her room is always immaculate and mum is clean and tidy. She eats well and she says the staff are very kind.
That is what we see.

My Parents both entered Bascombe Court in March 2022. Unfortunately my father died a couple of months later but I know his final weeks were amongst the happiest he spent with my Mother until his passing.
The admittance of my parents and their immediate care needs were dealt with without fuss and really
exceeded my expectations, and, still continuing is the first class care for my Mother.
The management and team at all levels have a truly exceptional work ethic with a friendly and caring attitude at all times.
The rooms are spotless and cleaned regularly.
Having some experience of other care homes where other family members are resident, I will be forever grateful that Bascombe Court came to their rescue when needed.

My mum was admitted to Bascombe Court the middle of April and I can honestly say I would have no problem recommending it to anyone. The care mum received was excellent and the manager and all the staff are lovely and so helpful. Mum was extremely happy there and they made the last few weeks of her life
very happy and comfortable giving me peace of mind.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I moved my Aunt here at the end of December 2018. She has thrived here. When she arrived from a previous care home, she was in a poor state of health. The care she has received here is of a high standard, all the staff are kind, caring, professional, friendly and treat my Aunt with respect. My Aunt
has blossomed here and I would highly recommend this care home. The atmosphere is always welcoming and the home is always light and bright, there are lots of activities and the manager even brings her dog to the home which the residents love. There is a hairdressing salon and the residents can also have their nails done.
The furnishings are of a high standard and the rooms a good size with ensuite and are always clean.
Food is cooked onsite and is of a high standard and nutritious, the residents are offered lots of cups of tea and coffee and snacks, guests are also offered refreshments.
I can't thank Bascombe Court enough for giving my Aunt a new beginning at 94. Thank you all!

My mother has now lived here for 6 1/2 years and she describes the staff as her second family. She is always telling me how lucky she has been to find such a lovely place to live. Recent improvements to the building make the place light, bright and very attractive. Dining room and lounge furniture have
all been replaced with light wood, including a beautiful set of bookshelves. Mum has no complaints and I have to thank management and staff for helping us as a family with any problems.

I feel totally relaxed with my mother living in Bascombe Court. The staff are delightful, friendly and most importantly make eye contact with you when I visit, ask you how you are and offer you a cup of tea. All the staff seem to be friends with the residents, which makes it one big happy family. My
mother seems very contented and well cared for here. Well done to the management and staff. Looking forward to the Christmas party.

We were recommended Bascombe by friends who both had mothers living here. We were naturally nervous for our mum when she moved in, especially as dad had previously been in a very poor home. It was literally a breath of fresh air.
Mum settled in quite quickly and although we ask on every visit, she
has "nothing to complain about at all, all very good". We think she really enjoys the social contact and the staff are always very kind and attentive. The room/facilities and good are of a very good standard and the management team friendly, flexible and responsive - it is a real "home from home".

My mother has been in Bascombe Court for just over a year and is very happy, as are my sister and I. We can come and go as we please. The atmosphere in the home and with the staff is lovely. We are always offered tea and cakes. Mum's room is always cleaned to a high standard, her medical and dietary
needs are always dealt with to high standards. We would like to say that the chairs in the dining room are quite heavy and we think it would be a good idea if there were some lighter fold up chairs in the lounge.

Cannot praise this home enough! Mum is happy and feels safe, which is so important with Dementia.


The staff are truly dedicated and enjoy their jobs - from manager to domestics. This home has changed the family circumstances for the better - we can all relax knowing Mum is being so well looked

after.

All staff at every level are caring and patient. They always listen and try to provide for individual requests. All the residents always look clean, happy and I visit at least once or twice per week.


I cannot fault how both my parents (who are not easy) are being looked after.


It has made a

huge difference to my life to know they are safe and cared for so well.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.517)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.517) out of 10 for Bascombe Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 3 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 4.941 for Bascombe Court is calculated as follows: ( (32 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 34 Ratings = 4.941
  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 3.576 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bascombe Court is based on 3 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 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 = 3.25
    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 46 registered maximum number of service users is 9.2. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.2 = 0.326
  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.
