We have always found this home to feel like a home from home. Family are welcomed at anytime without the need for prior consultation. The staff are genuinely caring of the residents and have their well-being at the heart of all they do.
The home is well managed, friendly, welcoming and well kept.

Wonderful, warm friendly home, all the staff are so helpful, and are happy to help in anyway they can, it feels comforting knowing my aunt is happy content and safe.
She has made good friends and settled in so quickly, her room is beautiful full of her memories and photographs from home, she often
thinks she's on her cruise ship holidays as she's treated so well, and loves the puddings and treats she gets throughout the day, never lonely has the best company. A fabulous professional team of staff I would recommend Bluebell House in a heartbeat.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Words cannot describe how wonderful this care home is. It is more of a community where everyone gets on so well with each other - it's our new little family.
As a family we were terrified of my nan going into care as we have had such bad experiences in the past.
The home is so clean that when you
walk in it's like walking into a lovely bed and breakfast. The room my Nan has is a new build room and is furnished beautifully. Every time we visit the bed is clean, the floors hoovered like a lush hotel. I would stay there myself!
The food is diverse and inclusive to everyone. Inc vegetarian options!
Food is presented to the residents in which encourages them to eat instead of just shoved infront of them. My nan looks so much healthier mentally and physically since coming here.


One staff member in particular organises the place in a way different to other care homes. It's organised, the staff are flawless and I leave my visits feeling calm and assured.
Words cannot describe how thankful I am to you all

From first setting foot to view Bluebell house to my mum moving in at the beginning of February all our family have felt very welcome. All the staff are friendly, helpful and caring. It is clean, smells fresh and the decor lovely. My mums room is cosy and was decorated before she moved in. Mum loves
the food, they even have chocolate biscuits with their refreshments. Mum has been taken into the area for a walk and lunch and she has done various activities which we see on their social media page.

Excellent Care Home, my mum has settled in beautifully thanks to the wonderful staff and management, nothing is too much trouble.
The entertainment and trips out are great my mum is partaking which is just brilliant to see as I never imagined she would.
So clean and fresh an absolute pleasure to
visit. My mum is very happy which gives me peace of mind and has made our relationship what it should be no longer a job but quality time together.

Beautifully decorated care home with friendly and caring staff.
The residents are served three lovely meals each day with a choice and served drinks and biscuits throughout the day, so they don't go without food.
Each resident is cared for according to their individual needs.
There are plenty of

My grandma came into the care at Bluebell House in 2022 after a fall at home and as a step into going back home. The care my grandma has received since then has been second to none. She is now a resident and she is so well looked after. I visit the home quite often and every time I am welcomed as if
it is my grandma’s home. Nothing is too much trouble and I know she is receiving the best care. Every month or so there is an event like a Halloween party with a singer, afternoon tea and a BBQ. It is so lovely to go and spend time with my grandma and her friends. Thank you Bluebell House for looking after my grandma and giving us the comfort she is in the safest place.

Mum was admitted to Bluebell Court after a fall and a 5-week stay in hospital. She initially went in for respite and after a review by social services, it was decided Mum would benefit from a longer stay. During this time the staff and attention given to Mum impressed all the family. It was decided
by Mum and the family that the care and supervision she was receiving would be beneficial to her. She decided to sell her bungalow and go into long-term care. Mum has a special dietary need and this is well catered for. The staff treat all the residents like family. I would not hesitate to recommend Bluebell Court to anyone considering a care home for a friend or member of the family.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.878)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.878) out of 10 for Bluebell House Residential Care Home 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.878 for Bluebell House Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (116 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.878
  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 Bluebell House Residential Care Home is based on 11 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 20 registered maximum number of service users is 4, which has been reached with 11 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.
