Both myself and my husband have always found everyone to be very caring and have always treated my mother-in-law with dignity.
Cannot think of a better care home that she could be in, she is in the best place.

Extremely welcomed by all staff who have a lovely, friendly and caring nature. They each take time and have patience with every resident. They all work hard as a team and are always polite. Every request made is dealt with. The home is always clean, and the maintenance staff work hard. Residents are
encouraged to participate in activities but are also allowed 'quiet' time if preferred.

My mother has now been here 5 months. We have visited at least four times a week and have always been extremely satisfied with the care she is receiving and the dedication of the staff to their roles. We have experience of care home with other relatives and this is the best by far.

I visited my friend late last month and I must say what a wonderful home. It is very clean, the residents were all socialising in the main events room and the carers were all present which was reassuring. She throughly enjoys living there and has never had a problem with any aspect of the home. I
stayed until dinner time and the food smelt and looked delicious. The carers escorted everyone to the dining tables and served all the people who lived there together.

I cannot praise this care home enough I have been visited a friend twice now and bringing her lifelong friend too visit. The staff cannot do enough to make us feel welcome and offering beverages. The home is friendly atmosphere and spotless clean. I feel so home from home here and my only regret is
that I didn't know about this home when my late mother needed care. Excellent care home.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.889)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.889) out of 10 for Laburnum House Care Centre 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 52 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 52 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 4.889 for Laburnum House Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (563 Excellents x 5) + (49 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 622 Ratings = 4.889
  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 Laburnum House Care Centre is based on 52 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 34 registered maximum number of service users is 6.8, which has been reached with 52 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.

Edelyn

Edelyn Napa

Job Title: General Manager Joined: 2005

Edelyn was born and raised in the Philippines and the first industry she worked in was worlds away from care work too. Initially training and working in chemical engineering, Edelyn eventually found work as a production manager before training as an ISO auditor for eleven years.


But it wasn’t until 2004 that she found her true calling, when she decided to begin studying basic nursing in preparation for a move to the UK.


The Bloomcare family was excited to be able to welcome Edelyn in May 2005. The work came naturally to Edelyn and she soon began to climb the management ladder, eventually being chosen to manage the first Bloomcare home that we opened in Greater Manchester: Laburnum House. This was a huge responsibility and one that we felt we could only trust to Edelyn.


With our support, Edelyn has worked through various NVQ qualifications, and her wealth and variety of past experience has gifted her with the ability to communicate effectively with all kinds of people, as well as providing her with an indispensable set of leadership skills. All of these traits are central to the way that she runs Laburnum House. Everything that Edelyn and her staff do is carried out with the single goal of providing her residents with the highest level of bespoke care, with a focus on promoting independence, fostering healthy friendships, and retaining quality of life.
