Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As soon as we looked at Carden Bank we knew it was the right place for my father-in-law, who has dementia.
The friendly welcome from the manager and the staff and the feeling of being at home rather than a care facility.
The staff are lovely and we are very happy with all aspects of his care.
Thank
you to the manager and her fabulous team.

My mum didn’t want to go into a care home, but she couldn’t cope at home any more. She wasn’t eating or drinking properly and couldn’t look after herself. The decision was extremely difficult for me and my family, as it was not what she wanted, but it was the best decision we ever made. Since being
at Carden Bank my mum eats all of her food, drinks a lot more, and has constant attention and company. The carers are great, constantly checking the welfare of all the residents, bringing them cups of tea, chatting and interacting with them, and looking after their every need. I cannot fault the home at all. I’ve seen a great change in my mum for the better. I’m really happy about everything and I know my mum is safe and happy in there.

Thank you for your lovely review and how Carden Bank has supported a positive experience for you, as a family, and regards to your mother's improved quality of life in our care. We will pass this over to the manager and her team.

My mum has dementia and it was with a heavy heart that I decided to place her into care. I looked at a few care homes and decided on Carden Bank and in my view I definitely made the right choice. All the staff show compassion, are very caring and treat my mum with dignity and respect. They also care
about the resident's families, providing me with much-needed support when I most needed it. Was it the right decision to place Mum at Carden Bank? Most definitely yes, as she receives the best possible care. A big thank you to all staff, you're brilliant.
Reply from Andrea Charlesworth, Area Manager at Carden Bank

Review from Alison K (Resident) published on 6 September 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Dad has advanced Vascular Dementia and it became too difficult to care for him at home.
This care home was so understanding of the situation and the problems we encountered, Dad moved in with minimal fuss and was made so welcome in the relaxed caring and supportive environment. Since being there
he has flourished, has new friends and company whenever he wants it, good food and readily available attention from carers whenever needed, they are always visible and approachable.
The manager is an absolute star and the team are wonderful.
It's not always important what a place looks like it's the heart of it that matters, and this home has a fabulous heart.
Well done to them all.

Our sister (who has special needs) has been a resident at Carden Bank Care Home for a number of years now and we would like to express our gratitude for the care she is receiving. She is very happy being there and it is good to have the peace of mind of knowing that she is being well looked after. The
level of care given to our sister has, and continues to be, outstanding, with staff going to great lengths to cater for our sister's every need. We cannot praise the management and staff enough.

Thank you for taking the time to write this lovely review. The team will continue to be dedicated and supportive of your sister's care to ensure that she remains happy. I will share this with the home manager and team regards to your kind words.

Carden Bank Care Home is homely, clean and comfortable and is perfect for my dad who has dementia. He has lived there for over a year now and the staff are always kind, friendly and very caring and, most importantly, he is treated with dignity and respect. Relatives are warmly welcomed and we are kept
up to date with Dad's care plan. Dad often comments on how lovely the food is and how the staff make him laugh.
I am confident that my dad is safe and well looked after in a caring and friendly environment.
Reply from Andrea Charlesworth, Area Manager at Carden Bank

Thank you for your kind review. It is lovely to see that the team continue to work within Belvedere's values and that your dad enjoys his food and that they make him laugh. It is also nice to know that they welcome you and that you are included within your dad's plan of care. I will feed this back to the manager and team at Carden Bank.

I have found Carden Bank Care Home a very caring place when my mother first arrived. They were very welcoming and settled my mother very quickly. The manager was very good and explained everything in detail to us which put our minds at rest. Further to that, the staff are very helpful and always got
time for any one-to-one conversations. She always looks forward to her excellent meals.
Many thanks to the management and staff, we know Mum is safe and secure.

My dad came to Carden Bank frightened and upset. He was put at ease by all the friendly staff who also showed a lot of empathy towards myself and my brother and sister.
This week my dad has looked very settled and we are very pleased with him. We also go on the app showing his daily routine. This
puts our minds at rest. We can’t thank the staff enough.

Thank you for the lovely positive feedback! It has been a pleasure supporting you, your siblings and your dad to ensure that transition from home to the care environment has been a smooth process and attentive to everyone's needs.

New owners took over Carden Bank (Burton-on-Trent) and due to Covid19, I have not had a chance to visit, however, it has been refurbished both inside and out, the outside now looks brilliant. Before the lockdown, the staff/management was all excellent. As it is the same staff, I expect the levels of
care are the same.

My mother has been at Carden Bank for almost 6-weeks, and they have been excellent at settling her in. Her room had been newly decorated and carpeted, and she could take a lot of her belongings with her. The staff are caring and helpful, and the chef even makes my mum her own meals when she does not
like the meals provided. I find the management easy to speak to, and they do their best to make residents and family feel valued.
Reply from Andrea Charlesworth, Home Manager at Carden Bank

Thank you for your lovely feedback. I have informed the team of your positive comments including the home chef. I am glad that you feel valued and that we have effectively settled your mother into her new home from home environment. She is a pleasure to care for.

Mum was admitted firstly on a temporary basis and then changed to permanent during the lockdown. I cannot fault the staff - they are so caring and compassionate. I am looking forward to being able to enter the home to see all the interior refurbishments - the exterior looks wonderful. The addition of
the conservatory to enable pre-arranged 1:1 visits is a lovely gesture. Communication by all the carers is much appreciated at this very difficult time - I particularly love the matching hearts - 1 for me and 1 for my mum. It is a weight off my mind that mum is so well cared for and looks so well and happy - thank you team Carden Bank.

Review from L E (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 13 October 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My nana has lived independently most of her life and due to an incident she had a couple of months ago; she needed to go into care due to concerns over her poor mobility.
The staff were very welcoming and accommodating and have continued to be so throughout.
Her independence has been maintained
continuously throughout to the best of her own ability.
It is clear that dignity is promoted at all times and care and support is always delivered on a person-centred care basis which is important to my nana as she is very particular on what she does and doesn’t like so this has been very reassuring to her.
Care staff do a great job and work tirelessly to ensure she is happy and well cared for.
Choice is offered on a daily basis in all aspects of the care and support that is being delivered.
So far I am more than happy with the standard of the home in which she is now living in.
Reply from Andrea Charlesworth, Home Manager at Carden Bank

Thank you for your review which is important to us as a new care provider and care service. I am glad that you feel that your nan is recieving the appropriate care to her needs with a person centred approach. I will inform the care staff of your positive feedback regards to the care they provide as a team.

I am looking forward to being allowed inside the home. Not only to sit, hug, kiss, and spend quality time with my sister but to see the refurbishment. The outside looks amazing. I am sure the inside will too. The home has come on leaps and bounds since my sister was first admitted almost two years ago.
It will be difficult as I have not seen inside the home.

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We can't wait for you to see the change and improvements that have been made in the home under the new management and care providers.

My mum went there and dad wanted to go there too. The staff are very friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. They even buy things for residents out of their own pocket because they care and enjoy making the residents happy. I've even said I will go there when it's my turn. The food is very
good, I had meals with my dad over the months. I was made to feel like part of the family. Welcome anytime. Now dad has passed, I will still go and see everybody, they have become a big part of my life.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.046)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.046) out of 10 for Carden Bank 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 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 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 4.914 for Carden Bank is calculated as follows: ( (32 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 35 Ratings = 4.914
  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 4.132 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Carden Bank 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 17 registered maximum number of service users is 3.4. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 3.4 = 0.882
  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.
