* Care Quality Commission is responsible for the registration and inspection of social care services in England.
The Review Score of 9.1 (maximum of 10) for Bentley Manor Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 17 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Bentley Manor Care Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 8 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.611 for Bentley Manor Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (131 Excellents x 5) + (65 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 203 Ratings = 4.611
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 4.5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bentley Manor Care Home is based on 8 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 16 positive Reviews (80 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 8 Reviews ÷ 16 Target = 0.500
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Bentley Manor Care Home has a Review Score of 9.1 (9.111) from 17 Reviews

My aunt seems very happy and settled in the home. She always looks clean and tidy. Considering that she is doubly incontinent there is never any smell. She is nearly always in the main lounge and takes an interest in what is going on around her. She is now 98 and has to have her food softened and her drinks thickened.
When told we would have to sell her house to keep her there, she was upset about the cost but realises she couldn't possibly go home and be on her own. She enjoys the company and general hustle and bustle going on around her.

Thank you very much for your review. I am glad that you speak about the day to day reality of living in a care home. Many of our residents enjoy having the company of others which they would not get if they were at home on their own and this along with the close personal care people require and receive tips the balance over and above electing to stay at home. The realities of the costs associated with living in a care home, within the current financial rules and regulations regarding Adult Social Care, have to be faced but keeping people safe, secure and well cared for has to take priority, as difficult as it sometimes is and we perfectly understand that. Thank you very much for your comments. Kind regards.

My father has been in Bentley Care Home for over two weeks now. He has settled in very well and been treated with great care and dignity by the staff.
The care home promotes mobility for the patients so they stay in good health and mind.
Meals are also very good with a range of foods so this keeps the patient's strength up.
All of the staff are very friendly and also hard working. You can tell that they care for the patients.
I would definitely recommend Bentley Care Home to others.

My husband was admitted to Bentley Nursing Home initially for two weeks respite. I had cared for him at home since he was diagnosed with dementia ten years ago.
During his respite, he was given excellent care and attention and I feel very lucky that he is now able to stay on a permanent basis.
The staff are very friendly and really do care for the patient's welfare and dignity.
I could not ask for more and it is a great relief to me to have found such a place.

This is an excellent home in every respect. The staff are helpful, informative and manage to retain a sense of humour in difficult circumstances. The rooms and living conditions are also excellent. All round a good place to live in the last period of your life.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Steven C (Son of Resident) on Thursday 4 May 2017. Relates to April 2017.
My dad suffered a major stroke in mid-December 2016. This has left him semi-paralysed and brain damaged and unable to communicate. He was in hospital for 3 months, and we had terrible trouble trying to find him a nice home. Several homes turned him down due to his condition; however, Bentley Manor accepted him straight away. On my initial visit, I was unimpressed. The lounge seemed cramped and the dining room sparse, and there didn’t seem to be any activities going on. The grounds were also rather overgrown.
We accepted a place as we were desperate to get him out of the hospital. He has now moved in, and I have to say I am so glad he was accepted there. The management has been very accommodating and understanding and the staff are all excellent. I am confident he is receiving the greatest of care, and they have given him the dignity and respect he deserves. I have visited several times now and he seems very happy and settled.

Thank you very much for taking the time and trouble to review Bentley Manor. I can appreciate how first impressions count so much, the time during which you visited was not a good one for the presentation of the home as we were completing what was a major move of services and room - there were times when the home did not look pretty, so we very much apologise for that. However, we are now back on track and the home is looking great! With regard to the care, well that is the strength of the home. The team at Bentley Manor are dedicated to giving great care and it shines through when residents and families, like yourself, give really touching and heartfelt feedback, so thank you for that. Kind Regards.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Sylvia M (Resident) on Tuesday 7 March 2017. Relates to January 2017.
I arrived on November 17th at Bentley Manor Care Home after very long traumatic bouts of 'experiences'. It was as if magic dust had been sprinkled, I was safe, happy and relaxed, these were all new experiences to myself and one senior carer I heard remark "why are you so surprised that everything is good?" I've not known it before I have already and would always recommend Bentley Manor Care Home. There is compassion, care, laughter, everything to make us feel happy and safe. We never lose our dignity, the staff nurses, carers, domestics are wonderful with dietary. My only concern is that 5-star specialised general nursing is not available. Thank you all very much, to me it is a happy home.

Thank you very much for such a great review of Bentley Manor. The care team and all other teams in the home really try to ensure that our residents are well cared for and that care is 'second to none'. They are always happy to receive feedback, whether it be a compliment or suggestions from our residents because when you are happy, they are happy! Thank you for reviewing the home from the point of view of a resident, after all, it is the most valuable opinion we can have. Kind Regards

My grandmother went to live at Bentley last year, I visited the home at Christmas and couldn't have been made to feel more welcome by the manager or staff. Grandma is really well looked after and seems happy at the home. I've never been in a care home before and was really surprised by how nice it was and how caring the staff seemed. Nothing seemed like too much trouble, and everyone works so hard.

My mother has now been a resident at Rosedale for the past few years. In all the time that I have made frequent visits to her, I have always found her to be well cared for, clean and tidy. The staff spend as much time as they can with her, although she spends most of her time in her room "resting" as she can be difficult to manage. I have always found the staff treat her with kindness. As to the food that I have seen served to her, it always looks edible and warm. A minor fault could be the grounds to the rear of the building, needs a greater degree of upkeep.

Thank you very much for sending a review. Your feedback will be given to the home team, as we know that they will appreciate your positive comments. Harbour Healthcare took over the home on 30th May and since then, as the sun has been shining, we have all been busy in the gardens, cutting the grass, weeding and repairing the pump in the pond. The whole home, both inside and out is now benefiting for some care and attention, so that we can give our residents a place they can be proud to call home. We hope you will soon notice the improvements. Kind Regards

My mother moved into the MHU at Rosedale Manor Care Home in December 2015. She finds the carers pleasant and helpful. The physical spaces, in her unit, her room, the corridors, dining room and conservatory she finds light and airy. There are activities available in the home but the main she prefers to go out. She has a friend in the home and the friendship is encouraged by the staff I, together with my mother's son and grandchildren have always found the care staff friendly, more than willing to chat about how mother is getting on and to keep us well informed. We are pleased.

I have found mum's specialist unit very good. The staff are all very caring they give one hundred percent care to my mother are all very patient with her condition. She is always clean and tidy her room and personal belongings are looked after very well. Any information regarding my mother they are always on the ball letting the family know of any problems, of any doctors appointments or visit from the mental health team are due. If they find anything wrong on my mum's person they are straight on the phone to let me know or the family. Very well run, admin staff also very informative.
