Review from Lynda B (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has Alzheimer's and has been a resident in the Shrubbery since August 2024, when it became unsafe for her to live alone. I have nothing but praise for the caring staff and management team. She was made to feel welcome from the very beginning and is always encouraged to join in whatever activities
are taking place. The care team also prioritise her daily personal needs and the cleanliness in the home is exceptional. The meals, cooked on the premises not brought in by caterers, are nutritious and presented well, with compliments to the cook for the extra mile she goes on special occasions such as residents' birthdays... I am very happy that I chose this care home for my mother. All in all, there is a real homely atmosphere in the Shrubbery, that is hard to find in care homes these days.

Review from Karen D (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 December 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mum has been in The Shrubbery for 4 years and has always received excellent care. The CQC report recently published may mean that people think twice about trusting the care of their loved one to the home but the majority of negative comments referred to the procedures and paperwork and not to the actual
care provided. Mum has deteriorated over the years and now is mainly confined to bed which causes more work for the staff but they are always there to help her with a friendly comment treating her respectfully and with dignity. They are also helpful with my dad who visits her every day and is prepared to go the extra mile to ensure he is also ok, keeping him informed of mum's care and generally making him feel welcome. Obviously, I would like the home to meet the required standards but I am happy that my mum is the priority and her personal needs are met on a daily basis.

Review from Mark B (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 21 December 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been involved with 2 relatives who are or have been, residents here for a period of time.


I can only say that during this time the care received and the care given has been immaculate. Kindness, consideration, respect and empathy from all members of the care team involved in this establishment.

That goes from the handyman right up to the management and owners. Every person we have had the pleasure to meet has been truly caring. Every member of staff has been respectful at all times.


The care home itself has been clean, tidy, organised and welcoming. The caring people who enable this care home to function go above and beyond whatever their job title says of them. Nothing is too much trouble, anything can be achieved, they apply a holistic approach through their application of care, "we are all here to care and that is what we will do".


It is wonderful to have met so many caring people working together, to provide and deliver what they advertise. Long may it continue.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.167)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.167) out of 10 for The Shrubbery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for The Shrubbery is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5
  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 3.167 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Shrubbery is based on 1 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 = 3
    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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 6 = 0.167
  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.
