Review from H S (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 22 November 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
The activities are much better than they used to be. The food always looks lovely.
Staffing levels seem to be getting quite low. My nanna always has clothes/glasses/PJs etc going missing despite them being labelled. Her dressing gown has been missing for weeks.
The notice board/menu never seems
to have the right day or date displayed with could cause even more confusion to residents.
Reply from Deborah Whitworth, Home Manager at Bamford Close

Thanks for your review, we are happy to hear that you are satisfied with the activities and the food on offer at Bamford Close. We are sorry you feel your Nana's items go missing but this is very normal in a busy home, and we are pleased to let you know she has her glasses and dressing gown in her room. The menu boards were purchased by me (the Manager) and I fill these in myself - they were not filled in when I was on annual leave but will ensure they are going forward.

My cousin hated his previous care home and it closed due to it being so bad. He loves this care home and the staff. He has memory and communication problems but not Dementia. The staff go out of their way to see to his needs. He is happy at Bamford Close Care Home and I do not worry for him now he is
there.

My mum has been at Bamford Close for a few months now, she was reluctant at first, but loves it. She has made lots of new friends with the residents and staff. The staff are amazing, it's like one big happy family. Really impressed with everything.

I have found Bamford Close to be caring, welcoming and stimulating for residents and nothing is too much trouble for the staff. The staff are bright and smiley and show compassion and concern. The atmosphere at the open breakfast was just lovely.

Staff are always helpful in regards t residents and visitors. The home is always clean and tidy and in good repair. The only minus is sometimes clothing has gone missing but this is probably due to them not being labelled by relatives.
The staff do a super job in a difficult environment and coped with
the added pressure of the Covid crisis in a professional manner.

It would be a huge value to the care home if there could be an increase in care staff as it would provide more personal care and attention for each vulnerable resident.

The care home is very well run, caring for all the resident's needs. There is adequate staffing, but as always would benefit from extra staff to cover whenever they are short-staffed. If they were able to have voluntary helpers, this would also be of great value. The carers or helpers would have enough
time then if staffing levels were increased, to spend that valuable important time needed with the vulnerable. I hope this issue can be addressed in all homes.

I visited Mumon three consecutive days as I live 200 miles away. Due to Covid restrictions, I was unable to look around the care home so cannot comment on cleanliness. All staff appear efficient, professional and caring towards Mum. She was well looked after and seemed happy and settled in her new environment.
She passed favourable comments about food and activities. Overall I felt she was in good hands.
Reply from Allyson Attward, Business Care Home Manager at Bamford Close

Hi, I am so glad that we have been able to facilitate you seeing your mum. I shall pass the comments to the staff.

Mum has been at Bamford Close for three years now and although she struggled to settle in initially staff were extremely caring and supportive and she settled quite quickly. Due to her dementia she can sometimes be quite difficult to manage however, the staff are very patient and manage her behaviour
in a extremely professional manner. Although the home is a little tired it is always kept very clean and I have never noticed any unpleasant smell which you can in some homes, although some of the furniture in the bedrooms could do with updating.
Reply from Allyson Attward, Business Care Home Manager at Bamford Close

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, I will ensure that the staff know how grateful you are for the care they deliver.
We are also in the process of updating the rooms and furniture.

My mum arrived at Bamford Close Care Home not long before Covid 19. She settled in well and staff were very helpful. Her medical and dietary needs were met. During lockdown I have had confidence Mum is ok by receiving emails and phone calls. Staff are very friendly and supportive and they are doing
the very best for my mum. A big thank you to all.
Reply from Allyson Attward, Business Care Home Manager at Bamford Close

Thank you for your kind review of Bamford Close. Mum is a pleasure to care for, she is a character and we love having her. I will pass the comments on to the staff, it is always heartwarming for the staff to know that families are grateful for all we do especially during these past few uncertain times.

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.
