Review from Jayne L (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

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.

Review from Martyn B (Son of Resident) published on 30 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Review from M S (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 August 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

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.

Review from V S (Niece of Resident) published on 10 June 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Heath Tredell, Managing Director at Bablake House

Thank you very much for your insightful and thoughtful review. The scores you give us 5 stars are a reflection of the care we try and give all of our clients and the staff are 100% because of that. Where you have scored us 4 stars I would very much appreciate you giving some feedback to the manager about how things could be better... we love to improve! I know the cleanliness and rooms have suffered recently due to the ongoing extension and refurbishment and I am hoping that is the reason. Still, any feedback you can give our manager would sincerely be received well and improvements looked for. That said, I will pass on your review whilst keeping it confidential, of course, and I know they will be delighted. Thank you once again.

Overall Experience

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

view of cleanliness and food provisions. Entertainment is provided daily.

Reply from Heath Tredell, Managing Director at Bablake House

Thank you for your lovely review. Bablake House staff do their utmost each and every day to make the lives of the clients we have to be as happy and comfortable as we can. Due to your daily visits, you are very aware that; whilst we may not get it right 100% of the time, staff attitude, care and attention make Bablake House a place to be proud to work in. Thank you for noticing the result of this and taking the time for your review.

Review from Fiona P (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 May 2020 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

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!

Reply from Mary Khan, Manager at Bablake House

I am really saddened to read this review. I would like to think that all resident and relatives who leave Bablake House have a positive outcome. I am always available to assist residents and relatives coming back into the home if I am needed, I am unaware of the comment about not working on Saturday evening. The mention of staff being slow to respond I will take to the next staff meeting where this will be discussed and lessons learnt. Again I am sorry that this experience was not a good one for this family and we will use this review and to improve our standards moving forward. Also, I would like to thank our hard-working and dedicated staff, at Bablake House and in all Care Homes for their dedication and hard work over the past two months. Also everyone please keep safe.

Review from Robert L (Nephew of Resident) published on 6 January 2020 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

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

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.

Reply from Emma Clayton, Manager at Bablake House

We are all delighted with your lovely review. We work hard as a team to ensure everyone is well cared for and are socially and emotionally stimulated. The residents gateway is a great tool so you can see what care your mum is receiving 24 hours aday.

My mum was sent to Bablake House after a short stay in hospital to recuperate. Sadly mum has deteriorated and we requested that she become a resident there. The management and staff are amazing. Nothing is too much trouble and everything is done with a smile. How refreshing to find somewhere so lovely
