All of the carers I came into contact with whilst visiting my gran were very caring, helpful and respectful.
They were always there if we needed anything and encouraged gran to take part in activities.
In her last few days, they would have sat and held grans hand when we were not present. We are forever
grateful to the carers for their support & care of gran. Thank-gran.

The care given to my mum at Botham Hall is great. She was not happy to go into care but since she has been there she is much happier than I have seen her in a good while. The support they have given me too has been lovely.

I couldn't thank Botham hall staff enough for the support my grandma received whilst living there.

The staff make it feel like a home and not a business. My grandma constantly had a smile on her face and had plenty of stories to tell from a week full of joy and activities
Thankyou
to all the staff
From management to care and all inbetween

After living independently a fall changed everything.
After months in hospital Grandad came into the care of Botham Hall.
My daughter and I were worried how he would adjust but there was no need.
The staff are amazing and make you feel so welcome.
The changes in grandad physically and mentally
have been amazing.
Thank you to the amazing team and all that you do!

As a family we have been very impressed with Botham Hall Care Home. My father had had several failed discharges from hospital and we realised he needed more care than could be provided at home. From our first visit we were very impressed with the friendliness and kindness of all the staff. The nursing
care that is provided is excellent with detailed care plans for each resident. The rooms are clean warm and welcoming, the food is wonderful & my father is thriving. We can visit anytime and are always made welcome.

Mum suffered from dementia and spent the last ten months of her life in Botham Hall Care Home. The staff were always wonderful and cared for her with sensitivity during her time there. She was encouraged to join in the activities as far as she was able and had a good quality of life right to the end.
At the beginning, when Mum was able to walk, the staff always had time to help her walk to the lounge rather than just take the easy way of using a wheelchair and this helped her keep mobile as long as possible. Medical issues were handled quickly and effectively and I was always kept informed which was very important as I live 4 hours away from the home. The atmosphere in the home was always great and the building was well maintained, with continuous activities, even on potentially lower priority items like refreshing paintwork and cleaning windows. I always felt confident that Mum was well cared for and in a light, open environment with wide corridors.

Reply from Jackie Brook, Care Relationships at Botham Hall Care Home

Thank you so much for sharing your heartfelt review. It's truly touching to hear how our team at Botham Hall Care Home made a positive difference in your mum's life during her time with us. We're so glad to know she felt cared for and supported and that you felt reassured, despite living far away. Providing a safe, welcoming and engaging environment for all our residents is always our priority and your kind words mean the world to our staff. Wishing you and your family comfort and peace during this time.

I visit my partner at the home on a regular basis, I have always found the staff pleasant and helpful. The care home is always clean and as tidy as a living/working environment can be. There is a relaxed atmosphere in the home, such that those that want to rest and sleep can do so and others can read
or watch television. The residents are encouraged to go to the communal dining room for meals which encourages them to be mobile and provide more of a community atmosphere. The food is well presented and tasty (from experience). All patients, even the 'difficult ones' are treated with respect.

Reply from Jackie Brook, Care Relationships at Botham Hall Care Home

Have nothing but praise for the staff at Botham Hall CareHome. They all genuinely care and are always engaged either assisting a resident or just spending time with them on a 1:1 level. Everyone is friendly and welcoming no matter what time you pop in, there is a great atmosphere throughout.
My mum
has quite challenging behaviour at times and every effort was made to assist her in any way possible to smooth the settling in period. We have been able to personalise and furnish her bedroom in a way which has helped Mums transition no end.

I have visited a number of relatives in care homes throughout my life. There have been various standards of care, but Botham Hall Care Home, in my opinion, stands out as being by far the best. I feel my mother is treated with respect by the staff, and given the level of care that she needs. We are kept
informed of everything necessary. She is clearly happy there and is comfortable in her room or in the residents' lounge. Everywhere is cleaned regularly and there is a high standard of decor. The residents have a good relationship with the staff, given their mental state. The staff are absolutely wonderful.

Mum moved into Botham Hall Care Home in May 2024. After an initial two weeks of feeling unsure, Mum quickly settled down. She has been happy at the home, felt safe and secure. All the staff have treated her with care and kindness. We have been impressed with the standard of cleanliness in the home and
how the staff treat residents with respect and kindness. We visited often and were always welcomed. Sadly, Mum has died. We are grateful for the love and care she had at Botham Hall.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.890)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.890) out of 10 for Botham Hall Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.890 for Botham Hall Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (267 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 300 Ratings = 4.89

  • b) 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 Botham Hall Care Home is based on 25 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 25 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
