Review from J T (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 3 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I'm amazed that The Forbury hasn't had loads of reviews letting people know how good it is!

My mum-in-law has been living in The Forbury for a couple of years. I've been impressed by the care staff, kitchen staff, office staff, activities leader. They have all been quietly, confidently, respectfully

looking after our mum. She has dementia, however, they have her painting, crafting, singing, dancing. She is regularly entertained and occupied by the activities coordinator and the team, and with visits from singers, companion animals, groups of children, etc.

Its position in the centre of town means that we can take our mum to the shops, and other local places with ease. And we often see social media posts showing residents lunching out as well as all the other activities.

I only wish all care homes would offer this level of involvement for residents. And at a reasonable cost. We've visited and used a number of care homes in Herefordshire, The Forbury is proving to be the best care home in the area.

Review from Angela DW (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 May 2021 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My mum went to The Forbury, initially for respite care in December. She was quite frail and unwell generally with her diabetes not being managed well at home and with an ulcerated leg. Mum's stay has resulted in a totally healed leg, weight loss through a much more balanced diet and a big improvement

in her general physical health - she has not looked so well in many years. The staff and management at The Forbury have provided exceptional care - both physical and with mental health support and have taken a special interest in her well-being. They have included her in many activities, encouraged her to 'help' them with tasks around the home so that she feels useful and has a purpose and have helped her to make friendships. They have sent me regular photos and video updates and are always willing to respond to emails and phone calls about updates on how she is feeling. I cannot thank them enough for taking such good care of my mum, which is now ongoing. It is very reassuring.

Reply from Chris Lutton, Registered Provider at The Forbury

We are so pleased that your Mum has been entrusted to our care at The Forbury, and to the highest standard of care that all of our resident guests enjoy.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.9 (7.875) out of 10 for The Forbury is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 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:

5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.750 for The Forbury is calculated as follows: ( (9 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 4.75
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 3.125 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Forbury 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 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 = 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 8 = 0.125
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
