Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother went into Abbeywood in December 2024. She said that she was made to feel welcome and very comfortable from day one. She's got no complaints whatsoever. She's made some new friends and she enjoys her time there. She has a good appetite and says the food is first class and always served nice
and hot. The staff all seem to be very pleasant and happy to be working there. Her bedroom is always very clean and comfortable.

My sister moved into Abbeywood in March 2025. The staff and management were so helpful in helping her to settle in with a warm welcome and friendly caring staff. A gift to welcome her to the home and gifts at Easter and Mother's day show they go the extra mile . It has given me peace of mind that she
is being well cared for and she loves the food !!

We really appreciate your kind words. It's been wonderful to get to know your sister, learn all about her, and we're thrilled to know you feel gratified with the care she's receiving.

Our mum spent 9 months at Abbeywood before having to move, sadly, due to needing increased nursing dementia care needs.
It is a very much a family atmosphere & the staff were very good to mum in every respect even under very challenging circumstances.

Review from Michelle C (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mum has been in Abbeywood almost 12 months now and honestly, I could not be happier with the level of care she has received whilst in there. She struggled to settle due to her confusion and anxiety but the support she and I received was brilliant, and she loves her Abbeywood family now. It's so nice
to see her smiling and happy. The carers always go above and beyond, nothing is too much trouble for any of them, they genuinely care for each and every resident with a smile on their faces ensuring that their dignity is respected and they are valued and still treated like people that matter. The communal areas are lovely and bright and a really nice space to sit and the bedrooms are spacious and clean. The food is really good and there's usually something going on that the residents can get involved in. Really could not find a better place to care for my Mum, can't recommend enough.
Reply from George Durkin, Operations Manager at Abbeywood Care Home

Hi Michelle, Thank you so much for your lovely review. It truly means the world to us to hear how happy you and your mum are with Abbeywood. We understand how difficult those early days can be, and we're so glad that with the right support and care, she has settled in and now feels part of the Abbeywood family. Seeing her smile and thrive is exactly why we do what we do.The Abbeywood Team

A lovely Home with a bright, airy lounge for residents and well-maintained gardens. There are a range of facilities available such as an on-site hairdresser and a variety of activities for residents to participate in. The Staff are always cheerful and friendly. My Mum enjoys the food (and has gained
weight) and has always looked well-hydrated since coming to live here (which was an issue for her when at home). She is safe and well looked after.

My mother has been in Abbeywood for nineteen months, she seems to be very happy and settled.
The staff are all friendly and always have time to talk and tell me how my mum is.
There is always music or a film on to keep them entertained, all the residents seem to be happy.

My mum has been a resident in Abbeywood since October 2022 previous to this she lived on her own, independently for many years. The staff do a fantastic job of looking after her. She has a lovely room and likes to spend time in her room along with the option of socialising with other residents in the
main living area. For the first time in a long time, I know she is well looked after and safe. Great place.

My mum has been a resident at Abbeywood for almost two years now and, although she had some teething problems initially, lately I am really pleased with the way she has settled. She is content and obviously well looked after. The staff are friendly and caring and the management are attentive, informing
me when my mum needs anything or she has any problems. The home is always clean and bright. There is a nice menu and a list of events to stimulate and entertain the residents. Overall Abbeywood is a good, well-run care home and I would recommend it.

Dad has been a resident at Abbeywood since the early days of Covid, during that time, like others, we were unable to visit Dad, however the management team where quick to respond by providing a high-quality contact free unit to enable families to visit their loved ones, we will always be so grateful
for that.
Since being able to visit again, I flagged up an issue that was important to me, the team listened and acted on it quickly and efficiently.
We will be forever grateful to all the team at Abbeywood for all they did during the terrible days of Covid and their continued provision of high-quality care to our dad, and support to us.
I can't comment on the food and drink, I've never had the pleasure. Dad has no complaints when I ask him though.

My grandma has lived here for over four years now and we have been very happy with the care she has received. The staff are friendly and helpful, always seem to be busy with the residents, the home is clean and always tidy and the updated decor is looking fab. I would recommend this home to anyone who
asked. I would also like to say my grandma has seemed comfortable with her surroundings since she first arrived and always says how nice the home and staff are.

Review from B A (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 April 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum was a resident at Abbeywood for two years ten months, she was widowed. Independence and mobility were encouraged and it was her choice how she spent her time. Sometimes she chose to be alone in her room, she enjoyed to sit by the entrance, and chat with residents and staff passing by. She enjoyed
days out with family. Time was spent in the well-maintained garden, tending to residents window boxes viewed from the dining room. Mum shared the canal trip, Christmas party, Blackpool was brought to the home for the day, which brought back memories of the seaside she had enjoyed whilst raising her family.
We were always confident Mum was safe, warm, well fed and entertained. Visitors are encouraged and made welcome.
Mum's health deteriorated and it was with great sadness, but in her best interest to transfer to a nursing home. During this very stressful time, we continued to be extremely well supported. Highly praise management, care staff, cooks, domestics and handyperson who work as part of the Abbeywood team.

My mother is well looked after and I have no problem leaving her in the capable hands of the carers. They are really quick to spot any difference in health or behaviour and get the doctor in straight away.

Very happy with the home, all the staff are pleasant and very friendly.
Lots of patience with residents and treat them with respect.
It was a very big thing for my mother to move into the home, after being very independent in her own home, but after a few blips, she has settled in very well and seems
to be quite happy and content.

Abbeywood Care Home is with a capital 'C'. My mother has been a resident since January 2015. From the start of her time, she has been looked after extremely well. The home has a doctor from the local health centre who attends the home every Monday and is in contact with families if and when required.
She rang me to discuss my mother's needs a few days after she arrived at Abbeywood Care Home. The team are wonderful, the residents get plenty of entertainment and stimulation. Entertainers visits, sing songs and playing games. Some able-bodied residents are taken out on trips. The CHRISTMAS PARTY is AMAZING. And when asked how she feels about living at Abbeywood Care Home, my mother says CONTENT (what a fabulous word) 'CONTENT' - another capital 'C'.

I cannot praise the staff at Abbeywood enough for the care they give to my mother. They have given her a new lease of life since she has lived there. Whenever I visit there is always some sort of activity taking place and all the residents are enjoying themselves. The staff will always have a chat to

Current Review Score: 9.0 (8.975)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (8.975) out of 10 for Abbeywood Care Home 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 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 5 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 4.850 for Abbeywood Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (52 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.85
  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 4.125 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Abbeywood Care Home is based on 5 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 = 3.5
    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. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 8 = 0.625
  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.
