Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5


My uncle has been a resident at Blossom House Care Home for some time now, and I can honestly say the care and kindness he receives is exceptional. The staff are so warm and welcoming - you can immediately tell this is a home where people genuinely care. The staff have taken time to understand my

cle's needs, routines and preferences, and it really shows in the way they interact with him. My uncle can be quiet by nature, but they've helped him settle in beautifully and brought back his smile.
Communication with families is also excellent - they're always quick to update me and genuinely care about involving me in his wellbeing.
Knowing my uncle is in such safe
hands gives me total peace of mind. If you're looking for somewhere that truly cares, not just somewhere that provides care, I'd recommend Blossom House without hesitation.

My mother-in-law has received excellent care at Blossom House. All the staff are caring, patient and committed to the residents in their care. All the residents are encouraged to participate in the many activities that are provided for them and there are regular trips outside of the care home to cater
for everyone's interests.

So pleased I moved my mum to Blossom House from her previous care home. The staff really care about each individual resident's needs and interests and support each other, as a team. They treat my mum so kindly and make her feel safe and make a fantastic effort to keep her engaged and involved in all
the numerous activities that take place. The environment and respect for each resident is brilliant and genuine, and they listen to residents and families to ensure that they can provide the best care. Well done Blossom House!

A well run and caring home in which our mother has resided for the past two years. The staff are experienced and dedicated, the building although old is in good order and our mother's room in particular has beautiful views of the Malvern Hills. The food is good, with a very knowledgeable cook who goes
above and beyond her duties. Altogether a care home to be recommended.

My father-in-law has only been in the home since mid-December but I was very impressed from day 1 with the level of professionalism of the staff. After a couple of weeks, he seemed to be settling in fine, and the kindness and courtesy which he receives from everyone involved in his care is second to
none. There seem to be plenty of activities for the residents to take part in if they so wish, and as my father-in-law was admitted during December he got to go to the Christmas and New Years parties.

My dad, who has been a resident at Blossom House for over eighteen months, was resident of the week. Myself and family were invited to join Dad for lunch. What a fab experience. Dad had chosen his favourite lunch and we all had a lovely home.
All your care staff and office staff are exemplary and treat
my dad like a king. They often refer to him by a nickname which is adorable. One member of staff leads his team exceptionally and is always available to chat to us about Dad. Thank you all.

Mum has resided at Blossom House for over two years and I've been impressed by the way the team have patiently dealt with the issues resulting from her advanced dementia. All credit to the management team, who are focused on delivering the best possible environment by way of personalized care with a
dedicated staff that, in my opinion, embrace the residents as family. The care team are exceptional and it was no surprise to see a senior member winning the Dementia Carer Award in Worcestershire's 2023 Health and Social Care awards. The variety of activities, again centred on the person, is first class and you cannot fail to be touched by the happy smiles of the residents pictured on the home's social media page. Well done!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have a lot of experience working in care homes, and should I ever feel the need to check into one, Blossom House would be high on the list. The Care staff are exceptional, hard-working, and attentive. The entertainment is the best I have encountered anywhere, by a big margin.


My father-in-law has

visited the Morgan Museum, has swimming sessions once a fortnight, has been out to the seaside, and garden centre, plus much more. Something nice seems to happen at least once a week, and it's something that can easily be overlooked, as the member of staff just quietly goes about doing stuff without any fuss.


My father-in-law is happy, and well cared for and I could not be happier with the way things have turned out for him. My only criticism is gaining entry to the home. Sometimes the doorbell is set too quietly for the carers to hear, and it does seem to be the job of the carers to answer the door, along with the mountains of other stuff they have to do.

Reluctantly had to put our mother into care as dementia was getting to the point of being dangerous for her and to be at home on her own - wandering, falling, forgetting etc. We found Blossom House and we felt it was the home our mom needed to help her and us and as hard as it was Mom has settled and
seems to have found home again.
Staff are very understanding and provide a stimulating environment. When I have been to the house it is always clean. We are kept informed with social media, emails etc.

The team at Blossom House gave outstanding care to my mother during the last twelve months of her life. Nothing was too much trouble.
Her dignity was always respected, and the staff, along with the residents, made her final year a very happy one.

My husband has been a resident for 4 months. He has settled well and perceives Blossom House as his home. His every need is catered for both physically and mentally. Carers are exceptional in their caring interest in every resident. Carers give off their time to involve family and friends in this case,
making sure all are happy and satisfied with the well-being of their loved ones. I now realise that they do better than I could!

My father has been at Blossom House for just over a year. Initially, we were worried as he always said he would never go into a home, but he has flourished here. He is chatty and witty when we talk on the phone. He is delighted about the 'cheese and wine' or beer tasting events and entranced by the
chickens and rabbits, he has always had a soft spot for pets. The home encourages his interests in astronomy and geology with talks and looking at the stars with his telescope, and even gets The Guardian so he can keep up with events. He has been encouraged to personalise his room with family photos, books and personal documents.
The staff are lovely, they treat him with respect and care, but also with humour and kindness. I cannot praise them enough for the work they have done with Dad and the advice they have given the family as we got used to him being in a home.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.895)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.895) out of 10 for Blossom House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.895 for Blossom House is calculated as follows: ( (128 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.895
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Blossom House is based on 12 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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, which has been reached with 12 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
