Croftwood is a somewhat dated building in need of a refurbishment, that said everything else about it is excellent. Food is good, care is exceptional and the staff are brilliant. Would I recommend this place - Yes.

Since first visitiing when we were looking at suitable places for Grandma to the current day I have been nothing but impressed with all the staff and how they are with residents, other staff and all visitors.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
When Dad died, we knew Mum would need a level of care. Social services were a great help, and we eventually determined that 24-hour care was required. Croftwood was chosen as the most appropriate for Mum's needs. She has been here for a year now and has settled nicely. The family visit regularly and
we have found the level of care to be excellent. We have a very good relationship with the staff and are contacted whenever Mum has a fall or needs anything.

Thank you for your lovely review and comments. I will pass onto all the staff. Its a pleasure to be caring and supporting mum.kind regards

I have always shied away from placing my wife in a care home for a respite period and faced the issue with great trepidation. On my initial visit to Croftwood these thoughts were completely removed and I was delighted and relieved that my fears had been totally banished everything about the care home
its facilities its excellent staff and the feeling of satisfaction and the removal of my fear.

Extremely happy with the care provided at the home. I am kept informed if there are any issues/incidents as soon as possible. Staff are always friendly and approachable if I have any concerns or queries. The only thing that needs looking at is the building looks a bit tired and could do with being decorated.
Reply from Cheryl Frankland, Manager at Croftwood

Thank you so much for your lovely comments, the home is under a decorating schedule soon to be updated. I'm pleased to hear you're happy with the care we provide to your mum.

My mother first went to Croftwood in January 2023 on a respite basis. When it became obvious that she would need a permanent placement I was more than satisfied that Croftwood would be suitable. The staff are excellent, very caring, professional and friendly. No hesitation in discussing my mother's
health and care plan. Despite her advanced dementia, my mother has never expressed any problems with her care to me.

Thank you for your lovely review and comments, Mum is loved by us all, it's a pleasure caring for her.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.685)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.685) out of 10 for Croftwood is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.685 for Croftwood is calculated as follows: ( (106 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.685
  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 Croftwood is based on 12 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 47 registered maximum number of service users is 9.4, which has been reached with 12 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.
