We all know about the difficulties and challenges of the Covid pandemic and the negative press coverage of care homes. My story is different because throughout I had the peace of mind that my mum was cared for in the best way possible. Staff moved into the home went the extra mile to make sure our loved
ones were looked after. I trusted the manager and staff to keep me informed and make things the best they could be in an extremely challenging time. Very grateful to the Friends of the Elderly Malvern family of my mum.

Reply from Elaine Banks, Bradbury Court Care Home Manager at Friends of the Elderly Malvern (Bradbury Court, Davenham and Perrins House)

We appreciate your kind review. The support you have given and continue to give has been wonderful. It is an honour to look after your mum and have you as a part of the Bradbury Court family.

Due to the pandemic, the past year has been very difficult for staff and residents at Perrins House, and of great concern for families. However, the level of care has been exemplary, which has been of much comfort. Led by a very competent management team, all the staff have remained cheerful and dedicated
to the residents. According to my mother, aged 95, nothing is too much trouble, and they provide companionship and support to everyone there. Importantly, relatives have been kept informed of developments such as visiting arrangements, and the staff went to a great deal of trouble installing both outdoor and indoor screened visiting areas. A new arrangement involving rapid flow tests and an indoor meeting room has recently been added, which is warmly welcomed. There is a great range of activities for the residents and lovely touches such as a seasonal display table and decorations. Mum is genuinely happy at Perrins House, and my brother and I are delighted that she is safe and well.

Reply from Rachel Knighton, Care Home Manager at Friends of the Elderly Malvern (Bradbury Court, Davenham and Perrins House)

Thank you for taking the time to complete this review and for your lovely comments. The last year has been a challenge and very difficult for families not being able to visit together. The team at Perrins House has worked hard and continues to work determinedly - putting people at the heart of all that we do, to protect our residents, staff, and volunteers from the Covid virus and, keep our residents, their families and friends connected. This, I believe has brought a lot of comfort to people and has helped ease concerns. It is a pleasure to know that your mother is genuinely happy here at Perrins House. Perrins House has had to adapt to new ways of working, and we are confident that we are Covid wise in how we work. Thank you once again for your lovely comments.

The care Mum has received since we moved her here when she got 'too much for her previous Care Home, has been second to none. The way they have looked after her, during this dreadful pandemic, has been nothing but remarkable, with staff remaining on-site to protect the residents. We have been kept informed
at all times how and when the visiting could be done, if visiting wasn't possible then Facetime was offered which was so helpful. Although it's taken a year to be able to hold Mum's hand again, not once have I doubted that she was being given the care and support that she needed. All the staff are wonderful, always cheerful and treat Mum with dignity and humour (which she loves). The food is fresh and wholesome, the regular tea and cake is a special favourite of Mum's and all areas are kept spotlessly clean and smelling fresh. I would recommend this Care Home, it's a heartbreaking decision to make but we couldn't have chosen better.

Reply from Elaine Banks, Care Home Manager at Friends of the Elderly Malvern (Bradbury Court, Davenham and Perrins House)

Thank you for your review. It is a pleasure to look after your mum. Both you and your sister have been very supportive during the pandemic, and we are glad to have you as part of the Bradbury court family.

Mum moved to Perrins House last October when she needed nursing care. She has settled in well and looks comfortable whenever I visit. The staff seem kind and caring and communications with family members are efficient. The past year has presented formidable challenges but it's reassuring to know that
Mum's being well cared for. Thank you.

My mother has been in Perrins House for over a year now and has been looked after so incredibly well and kindly by all her carers and the management team that she has literally been brought back to life... she has progressed from only having fluids to eating so much good food that she has had to have
a new wardrobe (once or twice over!). Every time I see or speak to any of the staff they let me know all the important things about mum... what she says to them, how she is responding to activities, tiny sensitive and honest details that make me have total confidence in how she is being cared for. The staff all understand the needs of both clients and relatives and every time I visit there is something happy to hear about or see. Every carer who takes mum back to her room has obviously got to know her and to respond to her sensitively and she lights up to see them, perfectly content. This all makes me feel sure that there could not be a better place than Perrins House for my mum.

Reply from Rachel Knighton, Registered Manager at Friends of the Elderly Malvern (Bradbury Court, Davenham and Perrins House)

My mother has been a resident at Perrins for 4 years. She has been very happy and doesn’t complain. She is very well looked after. She has had Parkinson’s for over 20 years and is almost immobile and finds it hard to communicate. However, she joins in the activities and has made a few friends which
is wonderful now that her former friends are mostly too old to visit her. The last 12 months have been difficult for my brother and me as we are not local although we understand the Covid restrictions. Our mother has continued to be content despite very few visits from us. We have managed to visit her a few times in the garden and in the Covid safe room. Last week, I got to see her in person for the first time since last February. The nurses have given me updates on her health. This has meant that we haven’t had to worry about her. She has been so happy that she wants me to put my name down!

Reply from Rachel Knighton, Care Home Manager at Friends of the Elderly Malvern (Bradbury Court, Davenham and Perrins House)

Thank you for taking the time to add a review of Perrins House. It has been a difficult year for everyone, but in particular, the residents and their families. I’m pleased to hear that your mother is recommending us to everyone, even though Covid has had its effect.

The staff at Perrins House have consistently been caring to mum's needs, and have gone above and beyond their duties to ensure she has felt safe and comfortable during lockdowns. As mum herself says she could not be in a better place.

My mother was discharged from hospital as the second wave of Covid infection got underway. She was not ready to return home. Perrins House was very helpful in enabling her discharge into their care following negative Covid tests and quarantining for two weeks in her room. I was initially unable to visit
and still have not been into the home. I have visited in a screened room. Whilst it is frustrating not being able to enter the home for five months, it has been reassuring to know how high the standards of Covid security are at Perrins House and that my mother is well cared for, well-fed and warm. She has also appreciated the personal care offered including showering, hair washing and her nails being cut and varnished!

Reply from Rachel Knighton, Care Home Manager at Friends of the Elderly Malvern (Bradbury Court, Davenham and Perrins House)

Thank you for your positive comments and I’m very happy we were able to help in providing care for your mother when she needed it. As you note, Covid security has been at the forefront of all we do whilst also providing the personal touch.

My Mum has been in Bradbury Court for close to 18 months, she suffers from Vascular Dementia, she's 83 years old and requires 24/7 care. So, over the past year, she has settled into her 'new home' and totally relishes the personal contact, interaction, activities, and love that the staff at Bradbury
Court provide. As her only son, I know she is genuinely cared for and actually has a better life today than the 'dark days' living alone when she was widowed 8 years ago and as her dementia increased. We are thrilled to have secured Mum's placement and despite COVID 19, we have managed Face Time calls, visits in the garden, visits behind a secure glass wall, and of course prior to the pandemic, regular visits within the home. Mum has never been so active and stimulated for ages, thanks to the team at Bradbury Court, they can make a normal mundane day into a party for their residents, fun, smiling, and caring. What more could we wish for? Thank you all.

Reply from Elaine Banks, Unit Manager Bradbury Court at Friends of the Elderly Malvern (Bradbury Court, Davenham and Perrins House)

I have always found the staff consistently warm and welcoming on each and every visit I have made. The care I have observed them give to each and every resident in exceptional. They listen to each resident wishes patiently encourage them to join in with the activities and mobilise and explain what is
going on to those who are confused. My father settled in much quicker than I anticipated and this is largely due to the staff encouraging him and helping him to mix with other residents. As a relative, it is very reassuring to know that he is well cared for.

Best move we ever made! The care shown to my mum is second to none - she is healthier, happier and, although her dementia has deteriorated, who knows me again which means so much. The staff and manager are exceptional - food is amazing and fresh. The rooms are clean - no odours - and very comfortable.
I

My wife has used the respite service in Bradbury Court. I cannot speak highly enough about the care that she received from the manager and her staff. She is a caring and compassionate person and this is reflected throughout the whole building, nothing is too much trouble and no effort is spared to make
everything comfortable. My wife has dementia and this is the only place that I know she is safe and secure outside her home.

This was one of my best decisions to come here (my own decision) because the care is extremely good. The staff are helpful in every way and very helpful with a really caring attitude. They are always there for us and take us to our medical appointments. I feel very secure here and in safe hands. This

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.428)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.428) out of 10 for Friends of the Elderly Malvern (Bradbury Court, Davenham and Perrins House) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.603 for Friends of the Elderly Malvern (Bradbury Court, Davenham and Perrins House) is calculated as follows: ( (128 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 184 Ratings = 4.603

  • b) 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 4.825 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Friends of the Elderly Malvern (Bradbury Court, Davenham and Perrins House) is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 97 registered maximum number of service users is 19.4. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.4 = 0.825

  • 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.

Jo Bennett

Job Title: General Manager

“I started my career working in the Motor Trade arena, in B2B (Business to Business) Customer Sales. My motivation to change careers and focus on care came from my loving Grandparents. My Nan lived with us for many years and was always there when I needed her. As Nan got older, as a family, we had first-hand experience of palliative care, which inspired me to pursue a healthcare career, so I too could ensure quality care for others.


I have now worked in the care industry for 16 years in a variety of roles across the sector. Most recently, I worked in regional operations for a number of large nursing homes.


My passion has always been to create a welcoming and inclusive community where people truly feel a sense of home. This belief directs me every day, and I am so proud to lead a team that holds our residents’ health, well-being and happiness at the heart of all we do.”
