Review from J B (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Very pleased with the care Golborne House provides to my Mum. The staff are absolutely amazing. They can't do enough for the residents. So friendly, caring and really look after my Mum. Whenever we go (which is several times a week) the staff are always smiling and welcoming. There are plenty of activities
for the residents which is great to see and the staff really seem to enjoy putting them on. My Mum loves the food and she is certainly eating more than she did when she was at home which is good for her. All the staff know my Mum well and have taken the time to understand what she's like and what she wants. The home always seems clean and smells fresh and Mum's room is always clean and tidy whenever we go. We know my Mum is safe there and we know she is well looked after. Mum herself says she is glad she is there now, which is a comfort to use as it's not an easy decision to put a loved one in care, but it's a decision we are now happy with thanks to Golborne House.

Since my mum came to stay she has been so much happier than when she was living at home. I have been most impressed with the Staff who are welcoming, friendly, helpful and always attentive to my mothers needs. I am always kept well informed of her progress and I feel confident that she is being well
cared for. They provide lots of entertainment for the residents and my mum is now happy to call this her home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have found the care home to be very friendly and homely, warm, very clean and providing good food. Our concerns that the new resident may not settle quickly were unfounded, he was made to feel part of the team from the word go. As visitors, we have always been treated respectfully with all the staff
being very helpful. The cat is an added bonus.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has been a resident at Golborne House for almost 4 years. From the very start she has been well looked after and very happy. Staff are lovely, very helpful and friendly and they communicate with family extremely well. It’s clear that Mum’s welfare and wellbeing are their priority and we have
never had any concerns about her care. We are always encouraged to speak to them if we have any concerns and they very much have an open-door policy for families to speak to them if they feel that they need to. The management team are excellent and this filters through to all other staff (carers, entertainment staff, catering staff etc). They provide excellent day trips and entertainment for residents to enjoy. They keep families regularly updated with general info and photos on their social media pages. It’s extremely hard to move your loved one into a care home but it’s so much easier to cope with when you have the wonderful experience that we have had. Thank you to all the staff for the wonderful job that you do!

The whole staff at Golborne House are always welcoming and cheerful when we arrive to visit my mother. Her bedroom is kept very clean, and she seems happy and settled. She enjoys the activities, especially dominos and bingo.

Golborne House makes me feel confident that my mum is being cared for, the staff are always friendly and caring, and take time to speak if I have any questions about my mum.
I love the fact that most of the staff are local and most of them know all the families of the residents.

Review from Dianne C (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 14 March 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother-in-law was a resident here from November 2023 until February 2024. Although she was only here for a short time, she was so very happy, it's just a shame she didn't get to spend longer here, but unfortunately she passed away on the 2nd February 2024.
She made friends very quickly with both
the staff and other residents and the staff were amazing with her.
Nothing was too much trouble and they were so welcoming to us when we came for a visit.
As a family, we would like to say a heartfelt thanks to you all for the care you gave to our lovely Mum.
She has left a huge gap in our lives and I'm sure she'll be missed at Golborne House too.
Reply from Rahi Joshi, Marketing Associate at Golborne House

We are deeply saddened by the loss of your mother-in-law, and our heartfelt condolences go out to you and your family during this difficult time. Thank you for your kind feedback. We appreciate you recognising our staff's efforts and are glad to hear your mother-in-law is at ease with us. I'll forward your warm sentiments to our home team. Kind regards, Rahi.

As a family, we are pleased my nan is in this home. Every staff member gives their all to her and it's nice to see her laughing and joking with certain staff members. Shower day can be a bit stressful for my nan but they never fail to get her her hygiene up to standard. They have a lot of patience and
she has settled in very nicely now after living there just under 12 months.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.777)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.777) out of 10 for Golborne House 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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 4.877 for Golborne House is calculated as follows: ( (93 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 106 Ratings = 4.877
  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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Golborne House is based on 9 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 = 3.9
    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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, which has been reached with 9 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.
