Review from S M (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 July 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The overall care, support and attention given to my dear mum during her residency at Bamford Close was very good. During her short stay, of only twelve weeks, in the main, was above and beyond my initial concerns of her transition into your care. The majority of carers and all staff thoroughly treated
and cared for Mum with the dignity, respect and love she deserved and her sudden passing, unexpectedly, was, I observed, a sincere shock to many of you due to your lovely relationships with Mum. Sadly, the opportunity to attend medically to chesty and fever symptoms documented was not taken on two occasions and that is such a regret now.

Since my mother came into your care around 2020, she has received nothing but great treatment and care from the admin management team, unit supervisors and all members of the care staff. The entertainment is fabulous! Giving them good mental stimulation. Bamford Close is the best, cleanest, well-run
care home, no mistake, by far.

We thought the carers and managers were all fantastic with my dad. He was in there 2 years and he was very comfortable and well looked after by all from managers down to the cleaning staff. They all made him feel special which made us feel happy that he was happy. Nothing was too much trouble. The entertainment
they organise is second to none. Thank you.

We cannot speak highly enough about Bamford Close. Management, carers, entertainment organisers, cooks, cleaners and anyone else I have forgotten.
We are blessed to have found the home for our Dad to spend his final years. So cared for, so well fed, so entertained. Thanks for the extra special care
and dignity during his final week.
If we should ever need to go to a care home this would be our first choice. Bloomin marvellous.

All the staff are so good, always patient with the residents, and treat them with 100% dignity no matter what is occurring. Take a genuine interest in every individual and tailor their approach accordingly. Activities on offer are super, really positive approach to do as much as possible and again,
tailor outings to the individual.

My mum has had nothing but the best care, attention and love from all the staff. Well looked after. Could not be more happy.
At the end of my mum's life, treated with love, care and dignity. All carers and management could not have done more and also, my feelings were looked after, so kind and calm
and helped me get through her passing. The residents helped also.

My husband was in Bamford Close Care Home until he passed away in July. The staff and management were absolutely amazing. They cared for him with dignity and love and we, as a family, knew he was cared for 100%. Thank you all.

Bamford Close Care Home looked after my dad from May 2023 until he passed in July 2023.
I cannot praise the staff highly enough. The compassion and care they show to both residents and families are exemplary - nothing is too much trouble. I can never than them enough.

Within four days we could bring our demented sister-in-law from Brittany to Bamford Close Care Home. All was well prepared, I spent many hours in the home before my sister-in-law came, lots of talking about her life story. Staff extremely friendly, not only to residents but among each other too.
Very
positive they assessed her strengths and skills of the demented person. When she came, all knew about her, a lovely welcome, very moving. She's been a week and has settled and feels very well. Thank you all very much!

My dad has been at Bamford Close Care Home for 10 months now and can say the care he's received from all staff has been excellent. My dad is 91 and suffers from dementia which can be challenging at times but has been treated with dignity and understanding at all times. I just feel we were so lucky to
get him a place here.

Review from Julie S (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 April 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum had lived at Bamford Close Care Home for over 11 years and the majority of her time was enjoyable. The last 16 months have been really good. Unfortunately, she had a stroke on 1st Feb 2023 and was not expected to survive. After a week in the hospital, she was allowed to return to Bamford Close
and the care she received for the last 5 weeks of her life from all the Bamford staff was just exceptional and very caring. I was so happy she got to spend her last weeks there with staff and friends she knew rather than in the hospital. The home has many activities for the residents and the staff are very caring and professional all at the same time as being very friendly too. The recent management is exceptional and always puts residents first which is what really matters. There is a friendly atmosphere as soon as you enter the building and you can tell there is a good teamwork effort from all the staff. I would highly recommend Bamford Close Care Home.

On the 28th of November, we called to see a friend who has been moved to Bamford Close Care Home. We found the facilities to be overall excellent, the cleanliness, the staff and management and the care/support couldn't do enough to help the residents. Everyone is treated with dignity and respect. Lots
of activities, the food and drinks look good, rooms are good, safety and security are good. Overall a great place.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.866)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.866) 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 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.866 for Bamford Close is calculated as follows: ( (278 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 320 Ratings = 4.866
  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 27 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 27 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.
