Springfield has shown such dedication to the residents and family during this difficult time. I would definitely recommend Springfield to anyone looking for residential care. My aunt has been there since August 2019 and settled in well. Thanks to the whole team.

Mum was accepted into the home 3 months ago following discharge from hospital due to a fall and with delirium. The home immediately sought to deal with Mum (95, dementia sufferer) and general condition has improved immensely. All staff are great, attentive and down to earth.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review. We are so pleased to know that your mum is settled and improving.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mum has been in the care home for a long time and the care she receives is excellent, she herself says how nice the carers are something I wholeheartedly agree with.
They are all always friendly, attentive, professional, helpful and respectful. The only fly in the ointment is communication. I'm not
always told when the GP has attended and when I enquire about assessments being carried out no one seems to respond, it's written in the book to be dealt with but I don't receive a response.

Both parents in the home until my mother died at Xmas. We have been very impressed with the overall care, food, staff, cleanliness and help with the residents.
The only problem has been clothing going astray despite labels, this aspect needs organising better.

Review from Deanna R (Wife of Resident) published on 20 December 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Overall I am satisfied with this care home, however in my opinion residents could do with some form of stimulation, say by encouraging physical (gentle) activities such as passing of soft balls or sitting down exercises as they seem to be sitting about a lot, or, visited by any company that brings in
small animals or well behaved dogs to be petted by residents.
Reply from Sally Rasmussen, Marketing at Springfield Care Home

Thank you for your review, we greatly appreciate your feedback. There are two well-being coordinators on hand to help our residents with a wide range of activities including gentle exercise, however, I will be sure to pass your comments to the team so that they can address this with you personally.
Kind regards

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My aunt has been in Springfield almost 2 1/2 years. I live a long way away but every time I visit everything is excellent. I also have a regular visitor who visits almost every week and keeps me informed of the situation, who also agrees how nice it is for the residents and how considerate all the staff
are. Thanks keep it up.

Review from Christine E (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 January 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a retired nurse and having seen poor examples of care to the elderly and vulnerable, I was very nervous about choosing a care home for my 99-year-old father. I was impressed from walking into Springfield - and being shown around by the manager. Liked - the welcome - the layout with many different
sitting areas - some with music/tv - some without. Excellent!
Bedroom/ensuite clean, tidy and a good size. Lovely furniture. Safety features.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband entered Springfield Care in September 2016. Since then, he has received excellent 24-hour care. He has vascular and Alzheimer's dementia hence he has no memory, does not know his family, but the staff from cleaners to manageress treat him with love and dignity and although he does not know
where he is, he always seems happy with all staff, is always clean and nicely presented and his meals are very good.

The quality of care is dependent upon many factors, but easily the most significant is the attitude of the staff. All the staff at the home are good, but some are excellent. They relate to residents as people/friends - not clients! It's fair to say that they care about their care!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother lived at Springfield Care home for 6 years, nearly 21 years ago. Since my mother passed away, I have continued to visit the care home and seen it change over the years. The home is homely, welcoming and has a family feel. The owner attended my mother's funeral and stated "Don't you ever forget
Springfield's doors are always open to you".
This is still true to the very day.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.872)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.872) out of 10 for Springfield 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.872 for Springfield Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (182 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 203 Ratings = 4.872
  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 Springfield Care Home is based on 17 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 69 registered maximum number of service users is 13.8, which has been reached with 17 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.
