Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My parents have been at Cold Springs for most of this year - they are settled, well cared for and safe. After years of juggling carers at home I can say that life is much better for them and for me. I know I will get a call if there is a problem and that we will resolve it together. In the meantime,
my parents are cared for by dedicated, kind and skilled staff in a place close to their home. I am grateful to everyone at Cold Springs who helps to make life comfortable for those who need extra help. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mother was in the care home for 2 years until her death in June. from the laundry ladies, cooks, cleaners and care staff we could not fault any of them. The care they showed to us was superb. Just a shame that someone from management sent us this 6 days after my Mother's death to fill out.
How insensitive
could someone be, could not even wait until after the funeral. Would I recommend, yes to the staff, no to certain management!

The staff are exceptionally friendly and approachable. The care provided is "joined up" (i.e. all team knows individual situations). Kind and always professional, clearly a well-managed team!

The whole care package was wonderful from cleanliness of accommodation, keeping clothes washed and returned, personal hygiene, and dignity. The caring but fun attitude of staff from all depts was brilliant, which must be hard at some times - but we were always greeted with an update and smile when we
visited, or contact via the phone. I would highly recommend Cold Springs Park to anyone.

Since my sister moved into Cold Springs her quality of life improved immensely, she was given the care and support she needed by all the staff looking after her. She began to enjoy her life again taking part in the home's activity sessions and felt safe and secure, being treated with kindness.

I was very happy with the care my cousin received during her stay at the care home. The staff were always friendly and welcoming when we visited and treated her with kindness and respect.
After a very difficult two years, following the tragic death of her son, it was reassuring to see her happy and
settled in her new surroundings and beginning to show some interest in things again.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Following a short time in an emergency care placement, my mother moved into Cold Springs in August 2023 directly into the dementia unit. From my first visit I soon realised that the standard of care was second to none, I can honestly say that from the care home manager down to the cleaning staff were
all genuinely caring and supportive to all residents when we visited. My mother recently entered end-of-life care and we were determined to allow her to stay at Cold Springs where the staff treated her with a very high level of respect and dignity until she passed away. We would certainly recommend Cold Springs and a huge thank you to all the staff who not only supported and cared for our mother but the support that they gave to all our family.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum spent the last few months of her life at Cold Springs Park Care Home. We just breathed a big sigh of relief when Mum moved in. Life had been fraught before, we were worried and Mum was unhappy but at Cold Springs, the calm, relaxed atmosphere, the wonderful care and the lovely private and public
rooms made life so much better for Mum. As visitors, we also felt very, very welcome. As Mum approached the end of her life, the care she received was even more tender and thoughtful and we will always be so grateful for that. Thank you so much.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum arrived at Cold Springs feeling anxious, depressed and negative about life in general. We’d had a very difficult few weeks trying to enable her to stay in her own home, but it became obvious she needed more help. Here we are, three weeks down the line, and Mum is like a different person. She laughs
again and is enthused by activities that take place at Cold Springs and about the fact that she has new friends to chat to at meal times. She says the carers are all lovely, and the food is great. Thank you, Cold Springs, for making Mum happy again.

Following an unsettling time at a temporary care home, I was hesitant when Mum was given a permanent place at Cold Springs Park. However, it soon became obvious that Mum was happy, settled and, most importantly, safe. The staff are caring and supportive but also encourage Mum to keep as much independence
as possible. The activities are great to keep Mum entertained and it is lovely to see Mum socialising and interacting with the other residents. I feel content knowing that Mum is enjoying life again.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am very happy with my mum's care. All the staff are kind, friendly and efficient. Her room is very nice and spotless but she looks out onto a courtyard which relies on volunteers and activities assistants for maintenance which is unrealistic. It needs periodic heavy cutting back and clearing dead
plants two/three times a year would suffice and this should be included in the fees. Mum is very well looked after and the activities assistants are great at keeping her engaged in games and going the extra mile on special occasions. As a disabled visitor, the staff are brilliant at helping me visit Mum.
Reply from Diane Kerwin, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at Cold Springs Park Care HomeThank you for taking the time to complete a care home review for Cold Springs Park.

As the weather had not been too good I was unable to visit my husband as often as I would have liked but when I was able it was very noticeable to see definite improvements have taken place at Cold Springs Park Care Home. Everywhere is looking fresh and clean. Even though I have been unable to visit,
it was noticeable how well, clean and tidy my husband was. I think the carers are very kind and caring and understand all my husband's needs.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.355)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.355) out of 10 for Cold Springs Park Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.355 for Cold Springs Park Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (175 Excellents x 5) + (54 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (21 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 265 Ratings = 4.355
  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 Cold Springs Park Care Home is based on 21 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 21 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.
