The Review Score of 9.6 (maximum of 10) for Barchester Collingtree Park Care Home 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 47 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Barchester Collingtree Park Care Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5 out of 5 from 22 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.601 for Barchester Collingtree Park Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (366 Excellents x 5) + (154 Goods x 4) + (28 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 551 Ratings = 4.601
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barchester Collingtree Park Care Home is based on 22 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 15.8 positive Reviews (79 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 22 Reviews ÷ 15.8 Target Reached = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

Collingtree Park have been very helpful and welcoming from the get-go. They have managed my mother's needs very well. The home is always clean and well presented. This gives me confidence for the future and the care my mother will receive going forward.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Norman G (Husband of Resident) on Monday 15 January 2018. Relates to January 2018.
My wife stays in the home for a little less than 4 weeks before her condition worsened far more quickly than had been anticipated. Nevertheless, during her stay, I made many visits and found the attention, care, compassion and friendliness to be most exemplary. All of the above attributes were extended to me in the fullest way.
I was and am highly grateful to everyone at the home at the utmost level.

My aunt has lived on her own most of her life until she was unable to look after herself.
She settled much quicker than anticipated and love the care she receives here. The staff are warm, friendly, caring and professional and I don't think she could be in better hands.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Nicolette C (Resident) on Wednesday 15 November 2017. Relates to October 2017.
I went into Collingtree Park for respite care whilst my husband recovered from an operation. The care home staff were friendly and welcoming, the room was clean and comfortable. In general, the care was good but certain aspects of my needs were not always catered for. For example, I have great difficulty holding cutlery and therefore forks and spoons have to be strapped to my hand and food cut up into small pieces. This was not always done and I was unable to feed myself at those times.

A well-equipped home in a beautiful setting. Recently refurbished and decorated. My mother lived alone and was developing vascular dementia. She was lonely and didn't eat well. Now she is much brighter and well nourished. The staff are outstanding and so very caring. It is such a comfort to know she is never alone and so well cared for.

Collingtree Park Care Home is professionally run but at the same time feels like home. My father has been a resident for over five years now and his needs have always been met.
The staff get to know the residents properly, ensure they are safe and listen to their views. Relatives also get a chance to share their views and there are regular meetings held with the home's manager. Collingtree Park is exceptionally well run and I would not hesitate to recommend it to others.

Genuine care is provided always by staff to residents and families. The home is clean, friendly and relaxed. Emotional care is a top priority, where residents feel valued and cared for, staff are compassionate and understanding towards residents and family members. There is a genuine sense of belonging. This is a positive, happy and relaxed environment and we feel so fortunate for our family member to be part of this. Thank you.

Collingtree Park is set in parkland overlooking the golf course, it is very clean and the food us made on the premises.
The staff have a friendly, helpful attitude and the theme running through the establishment is that it is the residents home and the staff are visitors, which makes for a good relationship.

The staff are very good, caring, kind, respectful and professional but at times there seems to be too few in numbers, which can lead to mishaps. There is a shortage of stimulating activities, particularly in memory lane or appears to be. Overall, it provides a good standard of care.

Before her death in November 2016 mum had been a resident at Collingtree Park for four years. She was always treated with respect, dignity and great care. All staff were friendly, caring and professionalism. The home was always clean and equally well cared for giving an excellent environment for residents. As a family, we were always welcomed and supported. Mum could not have been in a better place, a real home from home.

I needed to find a home close to me for my Mum. Visiting eight homes was very distressing and I hated having to make a decision. When I turned up at Collingtree they were wonderful, offered informal but informed information, non-bias and were extremely helpful. Upon Mum's arrival, they were so supportive and really made a difference to enable her to settle and become very content and happy. Probably as happy as she ever has been. Wonderful.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Maurice B (Husband of Resident) on Monday 30 January 2017. Relates to November 2016.
Having visited a number of care homes, my first impression when I visited Collingtree Park and met senior staff, carers and other support staff, was that this was the home would be perfect for my wife (later confirmed by other family members).
First impressions were proved to be fully justified. Although unfortunately, my wife did not live long enough to fully enjoy all that was available. What I can say is that Collingtree Park provides an outstanding quality of care tailored to individual residents needs and I cannot speak too highly as to how they looked after my wife. Inspirational leadership from the top ensures commitment and team spirit that delivers care in a calm and pleasant atmosphere.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Fiona R (Daughter of Resident) on Friday 2 December 2016. Relates to November 2016.
When it became clear that Mum required more care than I could provide at home, the staff at Barchester Collingtree Park Care Home made the transition to becoming a resident extremely smooth and as easy as possible. Any requests regarding moving furnishings in the room were carried out quickly and efficiently. The staff greet Mum as a friend and treat her with dignity. Assistance with personal care is given naturally with no sense of embarrassment for Mum. I can't recommend Barchester Collingtree Park Care Home highly enough for their friendliness and care.

I spent a month at Barchester Collingtree Park Care Home in order to convalesce after a complex hip fracture. This was such a good experience for me. My room overlooked the pretty garden, food was a real treat every day and everyone was so kind, caring and supportive. I was able to invite friends to join me for meals which was lovely. Barchester Collingtree Park Care Home residents were treated with respect and dignity. There was also a lot of laughter and genuine warmth in the care provided. I am now at home recovering slowly and learning to walk again.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Denise W (Daughter of Resident) on Tuesday 6 September 2016. Relates to August 2016.
Very welcoming and friendly staff. There was a bouquet of flowers to welcome my mother to their home which she loved, people to set up her television and to put up her pictures on the walls. Staff came and introduced themselves to her and to see if she needed anything. My mother said she felt like a queen with all the attention she was getting which was a great start to her new life there and every day she gets the same attention which is wonderful. I feel extremely lucky that my mother has such a lovely home to live the rest of her life in.

I was not happy when I came to collect my husband. He was soaking wet with urine and did not smell very pleasant. He was wearing short pyjama bottoms underneath his trousers- no underpants! His shoes and socks were soaked as well. I know he had got clean underwear as I brought it back with me. I was also disturbed that he appeared "drugged". He fell asleep as soon as he got into the car and slept most of the afternoon and evening which is most unusual for him.

General impression is good. Lovely grounds and staff appeared very pleasant, as my husband was only in for respite I can't comment on any thing else as I was away.

We had responsibility of care of a friend who was admitted to Collingtree in June 2011. he had poor mobility but was of sound mind. She settled into life of "care" and was always very appreciative of the way she was helped and treated. The staff became her "friends". She had no immediate family but had many friends who were able to visit whenever they wished. She was able to have her own telephone and television in her room. She always said "I'm as happy here as I could be other than in my own home"

My father has been living in Collingtree since November 2015, and has throughout his stay been treated with respect, dignity, friendliness and most importantly care. All staff and management take time to get to know their residents and their relatives which makes for professional and knowledgeable experience for all. The food is of the highest standard with meals cooked on premises daily. Has this home a fault? well Barchester homes do charge at the top end of care home prices so therefore expectation in some areas can be difficult for the staff to meet, overall, I would still pay the costs to have my father an extremely comfortable life in this wonderful environment.

My mother receives excellent care, the staff are friendly, happy and always have time for us relatives. When mum had problems they worked closely with us to help her and minimise any stress. They provide lots of events and activities for the residents. Mum has settled well, is healthy, happy, safe and well cared for.

On arrival a very good reception, flowers in her room and a member of staff brought a tray of coffee/tea, nothing was left out. The staff very friendly and helpful, made mum feel very much at home.
The home is very clean and tidy. All activities available to all if wanted, hopefully mum will be able to go again for respite in the year. Would recommend the home to anyone wanting full time care or respite care. 10 out of 10.

I was made very welcome on my initial visit and was able to see around the entire home. All my questions were answered fully and with understanding. We were invited to dinner for my husbands assessment and again the visit was handled with sensitivity and understanding. He has now started fortnightly day care with respite care every 2 months. He is very happy to go which has given me (as his sole carer) peace of mind and a weight off my shoulders.

A lovely care home in a quiet cul-de-sac. The staff are fabulous, very dedicated and loving towards the residents. Excellent facilities and food! More outside access for residents with dementia, slightly 'cooped up' on first floor. Difficult, but sometimes there was a 'smell' on the first floor.

Dad always looks well cared for and he often expresses how happy he is. All the staff work extremely hard in particular Dad often comments on how good the food is. The family feel very confident that care is consistent and trust the staff to look after Dad as they would do for one of their own family members. Thank you.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by A. O. and M.O (Daughter of Resident) on Tuesday 27 October 2015. Relates to October 2015.
My mother has been a resident at Collingtree over the past 4 years, suffering from dementia. We made the decision to move Mum into a care home after she had a fall at home, resulting in a broken hip. Over her time at Collingtree, she has fallen again, had another hip operation, suspected strokes, and very sadly has passed away last week after a long and active life. We will miss her terribly.
As a family we are indebted to the team at Collingtree for the commitment, patience and love they have shown our mother whilst in their care. You forget that the staff spend so much time with these individuals, day and night, that when they are gone, it is not only the family who are grieving but also the staff themselves.
Mummy required 24/7 care in her last days and the Collingtree team were on hand without question to look after her with dignity, care and respect. Thank you so much to everyone from our family.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Dawn B (Daughter of Resident) on Tuesday 4 August 2015. Relates to August 2015.
I could make this review long and detailed, however I am choosing to sum up my findings in just a few words....
"THIS HOME HAS A HEART".
It was my first instinct on walking in, it was my reason for choosing it and it remains constant in my ongoing experience.
I rest easy at night knowing my Mother is in your safe care.
