Review from Leonie H (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 28 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Bablake House is outstanding. The home is spotless, fresh and always clean. Staff clean touch points and equipment throughout the day. The care team are kind, skilled and know residents well. My nan is always comfortable, dressed and happy. The manager is exceptional and sets the standard for everyone.
She leads by example, supports her team, gives hands-on care and makes sure families are kept informed. She knows every resident and treats people with real warmth and respect. Meals are home cooked and well presented, with snacks, supper and plenty of drinks offered. The building and grounds are beautiful, and my nan's room is perfect. The home runs smoothly, staff respond quickly and the atmosphere is calm and welcoming. My nan feels safe, valued and settled. She now lives here by choice, and as a family we are so thankful for the manager and her brilliant team.

Mum was moved into Bablake House from hospital initially for a spell of re-enablement/respite and has now moved out of the area to a care home closer to myself and family. All very well organised and the management and care teams have been very helpful and supportive - both while she was there and with
the move. It was also good not to be made to feel a nuisance when phoning for a chat with mum! Would have been happy for mum to have stayed there longer term were it not for the fact that it's a long way to visit on a regular basis.
Reply from Michelle Quinn, Manager at Bablake House
Thank you for your lovely words and i truly hope your mum settles well in her new home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mum was a resident at Bablake House for five years and the care she received throughout her time there was absolutely first class. Mum would often tell me how happy she was there and was convinced that it was the care she received from the staff at the home that helped her to live as long as she
did. Whenever I visited Mum was always looked well cared for, was clean, and very engaged in what was going on in the home. I saw her on many occasions at meal times and she always had a really good variety of food, which she invariably wolfed down. The home had regular activities which she would join in with, and she was constantly treated with warmth and dignity by all the staff. They were also very good at keeping in touch with me. The quality of the facilities, and the location, are both lovely, I don't think Mum could have wanted for more.

My mum has been a resident of Bablake House for over four years. She is very happy there and has a lovely room. The main benefit is the staff who are lovely and very helpful. Another plus is Mum likes to stay in her room, she likes reading, knitting and watching her own television and at Bablake House,
she is able to do that.

Mum unfortunately cannot live with my family anymore, due to complex health needs. Knowing that she is being well cared for by the team at Bablake House is a huge relief for me and my family. She is warm and well fed and the carers are all sensitive to her needs. The home was recommended by a colleague
of mine, and I would recommend it to others as well.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been living at Bablake House since January 2023. Due to deteriorating ill health and lack of family members to keep her independent, I had to make the tough decision to find her a safe and comfortable care home. The senior staff members have been a constant support for both her and myself.
Nothing is too much trouble and they've helped us physically and mentally. The domestic staff have been constant throughout her stay and they know her individual likes and dislikes, helping her to navigate her TV viewing. The support staff in the main are a constant too making interaction easy, on a first-name basis. This home is the closest to real life that I found throughout a thorough search. The food is cooked on-site and was a major factor in our choice as many homes only offer pre-packed meals. As my mother's condition declines with each week/month, the home has helped me to cope with this and I know that when I can't be with her, she is safe, warm and well cared for.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My aunt had been living alone for many years, though with increasing mobility problems and memory issues after a fall and eight weeks in hospital and on step-down support, it was clear she needed full-time residential care and though she only moved into Bablake House in early May 2024, we've been very
pleased with the support she's receiving. Whenever we visit, all the staff are cheery and seem happy in their work and we've seen first-hand that my aunt receives regular visits in her room. The staff are trying hard to encourage her to come out of her room and join others in the lounge or dining room, as have we: no joy yet but it's not for want of trying on their part. All the staff are helpful and supportive and her care is proactive - realising she's tending to lie on the bed too long, my aunt now has a pumped air mattress to protect her, even before we could ask if it might be needed: that's real care and attention.

My mum has been a resident of Bablake House Care Home for approximately two years, and I can't rate them highly enough. The team are always friendly and happy to help with any worries I may have. My mum is happy and content and feels at home. If there have been issues, the team contact us straight away
and fills us in with all the details and how they are going to proceed with it. The events they have in the care home are fun. You are doing a great job. Thank you. My mum's room always looks lovely with special little touches to show who has cleaned it cares.

My father had deteriorated in the hospital over several weeks - his dementia worsened and mobility reduced to nil. The moment he arrived at Bablake House, he was in a much better place in terms of well-being. The staff were all caring and have the residents' best interests at heart. The home feels like
a home and the team did everything possible to help my father. I cannot speak highly enough about this home.

Exceptionally dedicated Directors and staff. My husband as well as all the other residents couldn't be better cared for. As an essential caregiver, I am visiting the home every day for at least 4 hours and I feel that I can pass judgement.
The home is comfortable and exceeds all expectations also in

Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
My father was taken to this home for respite after being in hospital. I hated him being here and if there was an option to have removed him sooner we would have done. Staff were slow to respond to his needs or that of other residents, staff were often nowhere to be seen and there was a number of occasions
where I had to intervene when residents were in trouble an example of this was on a Saturday evening where one resident had taken something off another one, there were threats and concerning behaviour so I went to find a carer and there were none about so I had to calm the situation down. When I complained to the manager she responded with "I'm not even meant to be working tonight". My dad was unhappy here often left in a circle of ladies despite me telling them on a number of occasions that my dad was a man's man. The final straw was when I overheard the supervisor say when patting the dog of a visitor that she'd much rather be around animals than people!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My aunt was admitted to Bablake House pending assessment following a stay in hospital. I was impressed with the pleasant atmosphere in the home. Everywhere was clean and fresh smelling. The room my aunt was given was light, cheerful and comfortably furnished. The lounge areas were pleasant, and there
were more than one television lounge as well as areas where there was no television for those who didn't want to watch TV. The food was very good and I was impressed that residents were encouraged and helped to eat together at the table, giving a sense of community. The home was well staffed and the staff were very kind and caring. Specialist staff in areas of medical care and therapists were also available. Recommendations to increase my aunt's comfort such as raising the armchairs where she sat were quickly implemented. In the run-up to Christmas, the home was beautifully decorated and there were a number of activities to entertain residents. I thoroughly recommend Bablake House.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident here since January 2019. Prior to her arrival, when visiting the home to look at the facilities and care given, I was welcomed by the Assistant Manager, who was very friendly and caring towards the residents. I was shown a couple of rooms to look at which are spacious and
well equipped. My first impression was that it was a very welcoming care home.
Since my mother has resided here, she has received excellent care. All the staff interact with the residents. There are activities taking place every morning and afternoon, which helps to engage and stimulate the different needs of each resident. The staff are very friendly and welcome all visitors. They are very professional and I can link into the home at any time which shows exactly what my mother has done each day, for example, cleanliness, food and drink consumed, activities participated in and all other aspects of her daily life in the home.
I would recommend this care home without hesitation.

My mother has been a resident of Bablake House since early January this year and she has, so far, received wonderful care.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.725)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.725) out of 10 for Bablake House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.725 for Bablake House is calculated as follows: ( (90 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.725
  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 Bablake House is based on 10 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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, which has been reached with 10 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.
