Review from Alison S (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has been a resident for the past four weeks and I travelled to visit this weekend. I was very impressed with the home and how comfortable and homely it is. My Dad took me on a tour around the home and I was certainly impressed. Although he can't remember what he does I was told he joins in
with the other residents and chats with them. He was smiling and happy which is very reassuring. Amazing views from the home and him room.

I have been at the Bosworth now for 3 months & I am very happy & have settled in well. My room is a good size & I have all my photos & pictures on the walls to make me feel at home. I find the staff all very kind & helpful & I like them all. I enjoy joining in with the activities & particularly enjoy
singing & dancing & the tricycle rides. I find the food very appetising & I have regained my appetite since I have been here.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has been in the care home now for 3 months, and since she has been there has improved in both health & mentality no end.
She settled in immediately & is very happy and contented which has been a huge relief to me.
When I visit her I find the staff welcoming & friendly and Mum has a good sized
room, which is always clean & sweet smelling.
I couldn't be happier for my mum, knowing she is in a safe & happy environment.

Review from Marilyn M (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 November 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am very pleased with the care my mother is receiving and with the support offered to the family. When it becomes difficult for someone to live independently, difficult decisions have to be made; it is so reassuring to know that the staff consider all involved. My mother has also had medical needs
which have been very quickly addressed. I find the staff very friendly and approachable, whatever time I visit.
Importantly, my mother loves the company and the food- and is clearly thriving on it!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has settled into care home life and appears to get on well with both residents and carers (good rapport and banter).
Carers are very patient with my mother when she 'tidies up' and is always on the 'go' and fussing over the other residents.
Any issues that arise are dealt with promptly.
We are kept up to date on my mother's care on a regular basis.
Reply from Sally-ann Radwell, Registered manager at Bosworth

Thank you so much for your review, we now have a new activities coordinator on board, hopefully your mum will participate in some activities other than tidying up (although she does an amazing job).

Review from Pam H (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 August 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was a resident at Bosworth for 15 years. The care given to her throughout was excellent in every respect, from a position of being unable to care for herself until dementia overtook her at the end of her life. I felt she was safe, secure and well cared for and she was happy to be there. The staff
are friendly and helpful to residents and visitors, and each member of staff knew each resident well, helped by Bosworth being one of the smaller care homes locally. I felt I could always visit whenever I reasonably wished, and I liked the fact that the management team or her key worker could be approached to discuss any matter at any time. The home has a friendly atmosphere, the food is good and varied. I would recommend.

Very nice compact care home in a quiet residential area opposite a bird sanctuary. Residents receive good care from the staff and are treated well. Facilities are good with some outdoor activities. Food is excellent, care represents good value for money. Would recommend.

I came here in August 2023 because I had and still have very bad knees. I couldn't manage to climb stairs where I was living. At first, I found it strange but over the months have gotten used to being here. I find the staff very good and will help you as much as possible.

My mum has been at Bosworth since 2023, all of the staff are helpful and friendly and have helped her settle in well. They've managed her Alzheimer's mood swings, change in medication and 'sundowning' episodes well and always communicate with myself and sister. She's made a group of friends within Bosworth
and generally joins in with activities.

Mum has lived at Bosworth Care Home since February 2022 and has now settled well. We were lucky to get her a room with direct views over Weymouth Bay towards Portland and of a good size.
The staff and managers are all happy, helpful and caring towards their charges and welcoming to visitors (even my
nut case puppy). Activities are on the up with a new coordinator and the meals and cakes look great so Mum has regained some lost weight. All in all, happy that Mum is now safe, no worries and has company.

Review from Harry L (Son of Resident) published on 18 October 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our mum has been a resident at Bosworth now for approximately seven years, and long story short, she is very happy there. Back in 2016, our major concern, constantly growing at that time, was that Mum was alone. In Bosworth, Mum has people around her, including both the wonderful Bosworth staff, as
well as the other residents whom she regards as her 'friends'.
Mum has a lovely room, with marvellous views of nature that she enjoys every day, and also access to a lounge where she regularly joins her friends for conversation, TV, games and/or entertainment. Critically important is that, at the same time, there is 24-hour care and attention provided by the excellent Bosworth staff.
One last point is that the manager communicates with us regarding our mum's health and how she is doing, this is very reassuring and greatly appreciated. We are happy that our mum is happy, alert and routinely socially engaged at Bosworth.

Sadly, Mum was only in the home from May to August. The room was lovely and roomy with stunning views across the nature reserve to the sea.
The staff were very friendly and took great care with Mum despite her daily mood changes.
Management were always at hand to answer any questions and did their
best to resolve any issues Mum might have had.
There was regular entertainment and activities for the residents which visitors were encouraged to join in with too. They are currently working on finding more activities.
It was a short but pleasant and fun stay.
Thank you to everyone.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.475)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.475) out of 10 for Bosworth is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.475 for Bosworth is calculated as follows: ( (124 Excellents x 5) + (79 Goods x 4) + (17 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 221 Ratings = 4.475
  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 Bosworth is based on 18 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 20 registered maximum number of service users is 4, which has been reached with 18 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.
