Review from Claire F (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 20 May 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at Bamford Close did a wonderful job caring for my Grandma. I know my Grandma loved living there. There was always something on for entertainment.
The staff went above and beyond for my Grandma's 90th birthday, provided a space for all the family to come and celebrate, and even provided food,
drinks and a birthday cake
I really can't thank them enough for allowing us the be there 24 hours a day during my Grandma's last days. They were kind enough to provide a bed and they all made sure we were fed and had our tea cups full. This was a really hard time for my family and myself and the staff played a huge part in making it as comfortable as possible for us all as well as my Grandma.
I will be eternally greatful for their kindness and care.

I really didn't want my mum to go into residential care as I felt I had failed her. But Bamford Close is such a wonderful place. My mum only took a few days to settle as the staff make everyone feel welcome and happy. There is genuine care for all the residents. Nothing is too much trouble and any concerns
you may have are listened too and advice given . Its the best decision I have made for my mum.

I was most impressed with my first visit to my mother. The Doctor and the staff were incredibly helpful and attentive to both our (I visited with my daughter) and my mother's needs, relating much useful information to myself and my daughter. My mother appeared very happy and had bathed and changed which

Resident has advanced dementia. All her needs are met by the care home - in terms of physical needs and emotional needs. They (carers and management) have worked tirelessly to understand and get to know resident so care is personalised and wherever possible treat her as though she is in own home. When
I am away from the home I feel 100% confident that resident is well looked after, is safe and treated with respect. Entertainment for resident also 100%.

I recently visited my father with my sister-in-law, who has been in the nursing profession for over 40 years. She said that of all the care homes that she has visited over those years, she had never seen such great interactions between staff and residents. The atmosphere the staff created was one of
kindness and happiness.

My dad has been at Bamford Close for just over 12 months and I have visited him several times each week. It is very comforting to me to see Dad being well looked after, with caring, friendly, compassionate staff who regularly review his medication with the visiting GP. The rooms are always clean and
odour-free. There are plenty of activities for Dad to be involved with and he enjoys his meals. Managers have ensured replacement staff meet their high standards.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was a resident at Bamford Close for just over five years and she loved living there.
Sadly, she took ill and ended up in A&E, there was no hope of recovery, so she went back home for end-of-life care and care for her they did, nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff, her care was second
to none. The staff loved her like she was their own family.
She was at Bamford for five days until she passed and family were with her all the time. The care and kindness we were given was amazing.
We will never be able to thank them enough for all they have done for Mum and the family.
Reply from Deborah Whitworth, Home Manager at Bamford CloseThank you so much, Lynn, for your lovely review, I will pass this on to the team, much appreciated.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As relatives, we are so relieved that our sister is safe and being so well cared for. Staff are always smiling and cheerful and nothing is too much trouble.
The member of staff who deals with finances is excellent and keeps very clear records. If funds are running low, she lets us know when a top-up
is required.
New clothes are quickly labelled so that nothing gets lost.
The staff really couldn't be any more helpful or kind.
(We do have previous experience of other care homes and this one really is exceptional).

My mother has settled in very well. She is enjoying herself more than expected.
The staff are really friendly and helpful. The room is small but the fact that the staff get her 'up and running' during the deal means that it is not a problem.
The activities seem to entertain her very well, she even
joins in now.
All in all, I am very happy with the home.

We, as a family, had a very positive time whilst our mum was in Bamford Close. Sadly, she died on 5th August, but the staff were so good. We are a big family, and we stayed with Mum all the time once we realised she was about to die. My sister and her son stayed the night with Mum and one or the other
of our family stayed with her all the time. The staff asked us all the time if we needed anything, food or drinks, etc, they really supported us, explaining what was happening, etc.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.870)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.870) out of 10 for Bamford Close 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.870 for Bamford Close is calculated as follows: ( (268 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 308 Ratings = 4.87
  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 Bamford Close is based on 26 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 26 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.
