Review from June A (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 June 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
What a fantastic place Laburnum House is. My mother has been a resident there for almost 4 weeks and I cannot believe how quickly she has settled in (she is not the most co-operative person !!!). This is solely down to the manager and staff who are absolutely amazing. When myself and my husband
first went to view Laburnum House we were told that "it was a family" and my goodness they were right. The whole place is immaculate, the food given is first class and everybody is treated with respect Nothing is too much trouble and I was astonished to be treated like family myself. I had many sleepless nights worrying about where my mother might go after she could no longer look after herself. I am now so reassured knowing that she is safely being cared for and enjoying her twilight years. I really didn't realise that places like Laburnum House existed. Well done Edelyn and all the staff.

Mum was only very recently admitted into Laburnum House, after extensive enquiries into different care homes. From the first moment we arrived, I cannot praise the staff and manager enough. Every single member came over to introduce themselves and take time to chat warmly with mum. We definitely made
the right choice.
Reply from Edelyn Napa, Home Manager at Laburnum House Care CentreWe are delighted that you and your mum felt so welcomed from the moment you arrived. Choosing a care home is a big decision, and we are pleased that our team helped reassure you that you made the right choice. Thank you for trusting us with your mums care.

Review from Allan K (Son of Resident) published on 14 May 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother is now in her 8th year at Laburnum, over which time we have always been more than happy with the loving care that she receives, not only from the carers but all members of staff. Over this time my mother's dementia has progressed to a point that she no longer really recognises me bit when
she sees any of the staff her face lights up with the biggest smile and always want a cuddle and kiss from them. Due to personal circumstances, I am in the process of moving a considerable distance from her but with the knowledge that my mum will be more than well cared for and loved at Laburnum. IF you are looking for a lovely home for a loved one, I would highly recommend visiting and considering Laburnum for that place.
Reply from Edelyn Napa, General Manager at Laburnum House Care CentreThank you so much for your heartfelt review and for trusting Laburnum with your mother's care over the past 8 years. It means the world to us to hear how much love, comfort, and happiness our team brings to your mum each day. Seeing her smile and knowing she feels safe and loved with our staff is incredibly special to us all.
Thank you again for your continued support.

Laburnum House is a very welcoming environment. The staff are professional, kind, patient and have a sense of humour. They treat residents with respect e.g. ensuring curtains are drawn when getting changed etc, that guests are not in the general main room for meal times etc. They try to give homely
touches to residents rooms. At a recent BBQ it was great to see a real range of guests including children and animals. It was nice to see families of the staff. You feel that they all genuinely like and get along well with each other. They have treated our parents with kindness and dignity.
Reply from Edelyn Napa, General Manager at Laburnum House Care CentreThank you so much for your thoughtful review. We are delighted to hear that you find Laburnum House to be a welcoming environment.

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.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.905)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.905) 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 53 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 53 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 4.905 for Laburnum House Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (581 Excellents x 5) + (46 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 634 Ratings = 4.905
  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 53 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 53 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.
