Review from Norah W (Wife of Resident) published on 20 April 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband, who has Alzheimer's, was admitted to a care home and after 24 hours the manageress decided she wanted him out.


My social worker approached Botham Hall, the manageress saw my husband and agreed to take him. From day one he was treated with the utmost respect and he settled down very well.

I asked him if he was happy there and, in spite of his condition, he managed to say yes and that he was lucky. That made me happy!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As I live in Durham, I do try and visit Mum as often as I can, but can only say when I arrive and unexpected I get a very warm welcome from all of the staff no matter how busy they all are. The home is immaculately clean and very fresh with a lovely atmosphere. My mum has been there now over 9 years
and is very happy and contented. I couldn't wish for a more loving home for my mum who is now 92 years old. Thank you to all the staff for looking after her and all her needs so well.

Botham Hall Care Home care home meets all my mother's requirements. The home is clean, comfortable and homely for the residents. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff and manager, even to the point of personal attention. The staff treat all residents with compassion and respect whatever the resident's
situation maybe. I have peace of mind my mum is being well cared for at all times.

Review from Caroline B (Daughter of Resident) published on 31 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father moved into Botham Hall in March 2014. He wasn't very happy to go there initially as he felt he could still cope at home, which was not the case as he had become a danger to himself. The staff were so friendly and welcoming that he settled in very quickly. He had always been a very private
man and the staff respected this whilst encouraging him to get involved in activities and trips as much as he was able or wanted to.


In all the time my dad was there, I never heard any staff manager raise their voice to anyone, no matter how provoked. They were always smiling, patient and caring, right until the very end. They cared for and loved my dad and for that, I shall be forever grateful.

Review from Stephen M (Son of Resident) published on 28 March 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We never expected my mum would need to go into a home. All the news items talked about a crisis and neglectful care. Nothing could be further from the truth, as far as Botham Hall is concerned. My mum had 6 wonderful months receiving amazingly good care from a team of very committed individuals. The
activities helped to keep her busy, she loved all craft work and this gave her great delight in painting and pottery. The food was wonderful, she ate everything, and this from a fussy eater. We could visit anytime and that's great as I live 200 miles away. We were able to make her room homely including her own chair and her adjustable chair in the lounge. The staff were always providing us with updates and stories about her, which helped immensely living so far away. Overall the staff made the place what it was, 100% caring and nothing is too much to help our relatives. Sadly mum died in February in the home and with us by her side. The staff were as upset as us.
If I need a care home it's this one!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our mother was resident at Botham Hall Care Home from July 2016 until February 2017 when she sadly died. Mum had suffered from Alzheimers Disease and had been living with my family (daughter) in the months before she moved into care. Botham Hall staff were fantastic from day 1, the way that they welcomed
and warmly cared for mum and supported us, especially in the first few weeks as she settled in. However, they were even more impressive with the quality of care offered at the end of her life recently. They ensured mum was always expertly cared for with love, patience and great attention and all the staff made myself and the rest of the family feel greatly supported and cared for through this difficult and we cannot thank them enough.

My mum is a resident in this care home, she has been there since 1 Feb 2016. Since she arrived there she has been so relaxed and chilled out because she hasn't any worries and she is so happy. She likes living there, says she is well looked after, so that makes me and my family happy that she is getting
the care she needs.

I would recommend the staff are friendly and go out of their way. The rooms are kept clean while my mum was there, I rate it very highly. All residents are treated with respect. Plenty of choice in food. I know I made the right decision for my mum. She was safe and the rooms are a good size and they
can bring their bits and pieces and own televisions.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.839)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.839) out of 10 for Botham Hall Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.839 for Botham Hall Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (263 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 310 Ratings = 4.839
  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 Botham Hall Care Home is based on 26 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 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 26 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.
