Review from Anne E (Regular Volunteer) published on 26 March 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father lived at The Bellingham for the last eighteen months of his life. Living semi-independently in a sheltered home with dementia, he had a fall and had a bad break to his arm. The manager met me at the hospital and overcame difficulties other homes had flagged. He moved into Bellingham. When
things cropped up, which they are bound to with someone with dementia, the manager and her staff dealt with it and kept me informed. I visited regularly and got to know the staff and residents. The manager recognised when Dad was nearing end of life and his end was gentle and dignified.
I continued to visit residents and staff and on retiring and became an official volunteer. I've completed courses and have been known to prepare Sunday tea. I enjoy doing activities with residents, organising Macmillan coffee mornings, taking residents for walks and driving them to appointments. It filled the gap for me.
The Bellingham is very much a 'home from home'. It suited my Dad and it has given me a great deal too.
Reply from Anne Roberts, Registered Manager at BellinghamYour dad was a pleasure to look after. He gave us many a giggle with his dad dancing and a cheeky smile. I’m so pleased we have you on board as a fully-fledged volunteer and bring a very much-needed smile to everyone here. Thank you and long may it continue. Love everyone at Bellingham.

I cannot thank the Bellingham enough for the care and compassion they gave my aunt during her time at the Home.
This is a very special place with lovely staff who are extremely dedicated and I would not hesitate to recommend the Bellingham to anyone looking for a care home.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.607)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.607) out of 10 for Bellingham 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 4.7 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 4.907 for Bellingham is calculated as follows: ( (99 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.907
  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 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bellingham 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 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 = 3.7
    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 15 registered maximum number of service users is 3, 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.
