2 satisfactory respite weeks after knee op. Staff more than helpful in all situations. Wonderful surroundings which need immediate attention to restore them to their original standard. Please sort this; signage needs dealing with, where is it?
Cleaning of toilets in bedrooms leaves a lot to be desired.

Thanks for taking the time to leave your review of your stay with us. We're grateful for your comments about our staff at Collingtree Park, and sorry to read of your feedback about other areas of the home, whilst our refurbishment is taking place. We can assure you the signage for our home is at the driveway entrance, and the toilets though clean, are being looked into due to limescale, and we thank you for bringing this to our attention. We're happy to hear that you would visit us again, and we look forward to seeing you soon. Kind regards, Barchester's Customer Feedback Team.

Always warm and welcoming. Staff have smiles on their faces, always greet visitors as though they were their own family members. No request is too much trouble, and discussions are never rushed. The environment is warm and welcoming, activities for those that wish to partake are regular and varied -
including visits from pet dogs, llamas and donkeys. The food in of very high quality, and if the resident would like something different, that's accommodated with a smile, family and other visitors can also fine with their loved one as well, just let the care staff know. All in all a very very good service.

Mum moved into Collingtree Park last month. She has early dementia and had been struggling on her own at home, getting isolated and had given up many of her regular activities. We were so pleased with the warm welcome she received when she arrived, tired and a little emotional. With some gentle encouragement
and support, she is eating a greater variety of foods and has the energy to mobilise outside her room. She has also restarted many of her former activities - knitting, reading the paper and word puzzles. Thank you so much to all of her kind, cheerful carers - we couldn't have wished for a better transition for her.

Reply from Rosalyn James, General Manager at Barchester Collingtree Park Care Home

Hi Tim, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this lovely review. It is an absolute pleasure to have your mum here with us. We can certainly see the difference in her since she moved in and she brings a lot of joy to us all; especially when she comes to spend time in the caf socialising with us in reception and with the other visitors. All the best, Roz.

Hi Gill, we are so pleased that we managed to get your mum into the home on the same day of her discharge from hospital. Her recovery was astounding and she looked a different lady when she left to return home. It was a pleasure to look after your mum, and help her on her road to recovery and to return safely to her home. Your comments about the food, care and the care team are very well received and will be passed on amongst the staff group, who will be delighted. All the best, Roz.

Admittance was prompt. Corridors clean. Restaurant menu looked appealing. Resident was in the lounge watching TV with other residents - conversation somewhat hampered. But pleasant setting and ambience. Slight odour endemic to care homes but not too strong.

Following a period of respite care, Mum became a permanent resident and began to settle well into her new surroundings. Unfortunately a hospital stay was necessary but the Barchester Collingtree Park Care Home staff on duty at the time provided wonderful care and support during the very long wait for
an ambulance. The look of pure joy on her face when she was returned home was a delight to see.
Everyone who works at Collingtree has been invariably helpful and caring, both in their dealings with Mum and the wider family. We feel this care home was an excellent choice.

Mum spent over 2 weeks in hospital with a very unpleasant bacterial infection. Visually impaired and in isolation, she became very anxious. Barchester Collingtree Park Care Home ladies came in to assess for return, making mum really smile for the first time in weeks. Her return to her room was so welcoming
- staff came to see her, the radio was on, heating turned up and everything was immaculately cleaned. The warmth of that welcome made the transition so easy for mum - she said it was lovely to be 'home'. She continues to have excellent care. Collingtree is definitely the best choice we could have made.

My friend was left in a broken hospital bed that beeped intermittently for over a week. I reported this and it was eventually repaired but not for some time.
My main concern was that although your aesthetic is amazing, my friend developed sores as there was no cream!
I ordered some cream for her.
When they'd used it up, they asked her if her friend could buy more! Not impressed!

Reply from Feedback Team, The Feedback Team at Barchester Collingtree Park Care Home

Thanks for your review. At times, we have specialist beds loaned to us by the local hospital to support residents with specific needs, as was the situation with your friend. Equipment like this sadly isn't within our full control and when there is an issue it does need fixing by a specialist team which can take time to be repaired once reported, which is not something we can influence. We're sorry for the inconvenience caused while we waited for an engineer to repair the bed . The sores you have mentioned were present already at the point of admission, in line with the GP's advice cream wasn't prescribed. We are sorry that you felt you needed to provide this and can assure you we follow the guidance of medical practitioners for all of our residents to ensure their wellbeing. Kind regards, Barchester's Feedback Team.

The care my husband receives from the carers is excellent. They are kind, patient and understanding of his problems. Sadly, there are not always enough of them available when help is needed. On the occasion last month, even the carers were stressed as they felt unable to help everyone due to understaffing.
There
is a severe lack in communication between relatives and management. Minutes from a meeting, at the beginning of May, have still not been distributed. Changes in senior staffing occur with no notification before or after the event.

Thank you for providing such positive feedback about the care our team provides. I will ensure meeting minutes are distributed and apologise for the delay. I very much look forward to meeting you at the next scheduled meeting in August.

After caring for my husband for eight years (he has vascular dementia), I felt I could not cope anymore and reluctantly felt it was time to find a care home for him. I looked at a number of care homes. I found Barchester Collingtree Park Care Home welcoming with a nice atmosphere. Also, it is only 5
minutes walk from where I live. I can go and visit my husband at any time. I feel he is well cared for and safe there. They do a number of activities with them and have a lovely garden.

Dad has now been a resident here for more than 5 years, and in this time he has been very well looked after the whole time. The team is fabulous, and it seems they can't do enough for all the residents and indeed visitors, with nothing being too much trouble. There have been some management changes
in the last couple of years, but the level of service has continued and is probably a higher standard now, so we have no concerns at all about Dad's care. He is happy, safe, and well cared for, and even during the difficult times of Covid the team at Barchester strived to continue the high level of care. I don't think we could have picked a better place for Dad. Many thanks to the whole team at the home.

My father was admitted to Collingtree Park Care Home after spending many weeks in and out of (mostly in) hospital. The hospital team were terrific and did all they could but then we needed somewhere that Dad could receive the sort of 24-hour care that is just not possible at home, to allow him to heal
and enjoy as good a quality of life as possible. The Collingtree team quickly responded to an inquiry, followed up promptly with a hospital visit to assess needs and moved Dad in. His room is bright and cheerful and very clean. The staff are wonderful, from the housekeeping and cleaning staff to the care team and the management. Dad's general health and spirits have improved, thanks to good food and lots of attention. He is even participating in exercise and joining other residents for meals in the dining room which seemed unimaginable a month ago. The gardens are lovely and are a wonderful respite from being indoors when the weather cooperates. Thank you to the entire Collingtree team!

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.238)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.238) out 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 4.2 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.238 for Barchester Collingtree Park Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (101 Excellents x 5) + (93 Goods x 4) + (37 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 235 Ratings = 4.238

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barchester Collingtree Park Care Home is based on 17 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 79 registered maximum number of service users is 15.8, which has been reached with 17 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.

My commitment to excellence and team development led me to a broader operational role as an Operational Support Manager, where I travelled across the South East of England, supporting care homes with compliance, performance improvement, and leadership mentoring.
While I found the regional support role rewarding, I deeply missed the sense of connection and camaraderie that comes with leading a dedicated team in a care home setting. This brought me back to where my heart truly lies — applying once again for a Home Manager position, where I can lead by example, build strong relationships, and make a tangible difference in the lives of residents and staff.
