Review from David E (Son of Resident) published on 8 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father, who had Parkinson's and dementia, moved into Silver Birches after a hospital stay when it became clear he needed full-time support. Over the years he had stayed in other homes for respite care, but many seemed to miss the most important part: genuine care. At Silver Birches, care is at the
heart of everything. The staff are kind, attentive and friendly, and nothing is too much trouble.


The units are structured so residents see the same small group of staff and fellow residents, which is especially comforting for people with dementia. Unlike some homes, they did not unnecessarily restrict his movements. He could safely walk with his frame, join activities in the home, and was also taken to local community events.


He was always well looked after and able to live with as much freedom as possible. When his health declined, their end-of-life care was excellent, and the support they gave us as a family was first class. Dad passed away calm, cared for, respected and with dignity.

You can see the staff care and are working hard to accommodate the residents and visitors unfortunately particularly with all the changes but there just is not enough staff on each floor to deal with the residents as a whole and especially if there is an incident and all the buzzers are going

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Upon visiting the home I was overwhelmed with the standard of care delivered. I had a discussion with the general manager and was very touched by how caring and passionate she came across.
Nothing was too much trouble and it is evident with the team she leads. thank you.
The home was presented well
with no odour and inviting, the residents were engaged as well as looked cared for.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As soon as we entered the building, it had a warm, friendly feeling and smelled nice. The staff were so friendly. On seeing our dear friend, I was over the moon; her room was so lovely and cosy; she was sitting waiting for us, looking so fresh, clean and happy. We are so pleased with this place; I would
not hesitate if I had to put my family members here.
The walls have been painted by an artist country scenes etc, amazing. We had a lovely visit with a nice cup of coffee.
Many thanks for looking after our dear friends so well.

My mom has been a resident here since May with dementia. I couldn't have wished for a better home for her. The staff are so lovely and friendly. They make you feel part of a family, and nothing is too much trouble for them. I don't worry about my mom like I used to; I know she is being well looked after,
and I can phone whenever I want. I would highly recommend Silver Birches care home. I can't thank them enough.

Care at Silver Birches is very good. I have never felt any anxiety about the way my brother is cared for, and the staff always keep me informed if any problems arise. The home is a little shabby but always scrupulously clean and fresh.

Outstanding care. The staff are very thoughtful and caring. The home is always clean, and if there are any issues with my sister, they always ring me. The individual rooms are very nice, complete with a bathroom.

Review from K T (Husband of Resident) published on 24 August 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My wife has been at Silver Birches for four years and is generally very happy. I usually see her once a week in her room, which is usually clean, and she is well presented. There are occasions when the staff seem to be overworked or maybe they are just short of staff on a particular day, but generally,
she appears to be well looked after, and I have no serious complaints.
I can’t comment on any functions that she takes part in, as I’m not there, and her Alzheimer’s condition makes it difficult for me to understand, as she is unable to converse with me in any meaningful manner.
However, overall I am satisfied with the treatment received at the home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Silver Birches suits my mum.
It is very homely, clean and well thought out.
All the staff I have met have been polite, friendly and caring - emphasis on the caring as honestly, I am taken aback as to how kind, hard-working and caring they all are. With all the media coverage and most of it not good
with 'care homes' and negative talk, I found myself feeling like I didn't want my mum to go into any care homes, but I have to admit my mum's experience and mine have been nothing but wholly positive and a good journey, and I know she is in a good place, safe and happy.
Even though management and staff have a lot to do, 'we' are never left feeling we are an afterthought, nothing is too much trouble, and they all seem happy to be there.
I have no problems in recommending Silver Birches; it is small, perfectly formed and highly organised.
'Thank you'.

Would just like to say that the staff at the care home have cared for my mom in very difficult circumstances and still always found the time to support me with advice or just a friendly chat, and they always have my mom's best interests at heart.

My mum has been in care since March 2020, and I can honestly say I couldn’t be more delighted with her care. I know my mum is happy as she tells me when I visit her. I can say thank you to Silver Birches for your continued care and support in what is challenging time’s for us all .

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.321)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.321) out of 10 for Silver Birches is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 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 4.771 for Silver Birches is calculated as follows: ( (28 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 35 Ratings = 4.771
  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 3.55 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Silver Birches 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 10 = 0.3
  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.
