The freshly decorated bedrooms have telephone and Internet access, a wall mounted TV and a nurse call system, for prompt assistance. Each floor has its own comfortable open plan lounge with wide screen TV, and dining area with a fully-fitted pantry and also an extra-quiet lounge. The conservatory on the ground floor has a door out into the garden – always a popular place to sit with a cup of tea, or for gardening activities when weather permits.

Events and activities are hugely enjoyed at Blenham House and the dedicated team, full calendar and the availability of their own minibus ensures that the level of participation is high.

Can't recommend Blenham House enough. Our family have been welcomed into their care for the last 3+ years that my dad has been at Blenham House. Every single visit the staff are cheery and caring to us, him and other residents and they know him so well. Don't know what we would have done without the
fantastic team!

Thank you so much for letting us know how pleased you are with the care for your dad. The team will be delighted! Best wishes.

I cannot praise the manager and her staff enough. From the first visit to have a look around to my Dad now being a resident, the friendly, caring and professional staff have reassured me we have made the correct decision to place Dad here. We know he is in safe hands and being treated with dignity and
respect.
Thank you to all staff for making Dad feel safe and for lightning the carers load on the family. We can now visit as a family rather than carers.
Reply from Brodie Nichol, Director at Blenham House

Thank you for your kind words. We're so pleased to hear that your experience from the very beginning has been reassuring and positive. It's lovely to know that your dad feels safe and well cared for, and that you can now enjoy your time together as a family. Best wishes.

My husband is a resident in this care home and as someone who has worked in care myself i can honestly say he gets the best care and is very well looked after. The staff go above and beyond. I know when im not with him that he is safe and well looked after. All the staff are very friendly and look
after the loved ones too of the person in the care home that they are related to. This care home would be very deserving of an award.

I would like to say how great Blenham House Care Home is. My Mother moved there in May this year and the difference in my Mum is amazing. She loves all the staff from the manageress to all the nurses, the handymen and the catering staff who make a fuss of her and see to her every need.
She enjoys
all the activities from going out in the bus to the sing songs in the home.
She is looking forward to celebrating her 100th birthday in September and is having a party in Blenham House with all her family and friends and all the staff.
We can't thank everyone enough and wouldn't hesitate in recommending Blenham House.
Reply from Brodie Nichol, Director at Blenham House

Thank you for your lovely feedback. It's wonderful to hear how well your mother has settled at Blenham House and how much she enjoys the company of the team and the activities on offer. We're honoured to be celebrating such a special milestone with her in September. Your kind words mean a great deal to us all. Best wishes.

All staff are always friendly, helpful and kind. It is the kindness shown to both residents and their families which makes Blenham House so special. They are never too busy to stop and help/answer questions. My Dad obviously feels relaxed and comfortable and always has a smile for his carers. They always
offer visitors tea/coffee and nothing is ever too much trouble.

My brother who has special needs has been in Blenham House for over 3 years and staff are genuinely fond of him. He was very seriously ill several times this year. His care was exemplary and he made an excellent recovery. His appetite is very good and he's put weight on. I am always made very welcome
by all staff - we chat and cover many topics. If I cannot visit my brother as often as I would like I am confident he is well looked after. To see him so contented is lovely. I also appreciate he has off days but know staff are kind and caring in their approach. Lastly, their interaction with other residents is very good.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband entered Blenham in January. My daughters and I had looked at a number of care homes prior to this date. All very nice and well appointed but it was Blenham which stood out above all the others. As soon as we walked in, we were welcomed with smiles from both staff and residents. Our first
impressions were very positive and we came to the conclusion, very quickly, that this was where Ian's needs would be best met. My husband took a little time to settle in but was supported by the kindness, understanding and professionalism of all staff. He enjoys the activities, especially visits from musicians and singers who encourage the residents to sing along with them. The care home liaises closely with the local medical centre and a doctor visits regularly to attend to residents in need of care. The nursing staff are very attentive and always on the look out for any changes which may require further attention. The family and I take comfort in knowing that Ian is being well cared for.

I am delighted with the care my wife received at Blenham House. She always appears clean and tidy, and well looked after. All the staff at the home work very hard at keeping things running smoothly. From the early days of getting her admitted with all the paperwork and such, things went smoothly with
great assistance and understanding. In my daily visits, I have observed how the carriers and nurses go out of their way to be of help to the residents. I don't know what I would do without the care, very thankful to all.

I don't quite know where to start to explain how wonderful this care home is. My mother has just recently passed away after being in Blenham House for three years. Every single member of staff, from cleaning, housekeeping, care assistant and nursing staff, was just wonderful. Their care to my mum and
to my family couldn't have been more attentive and caring. There is a lovely atmosphere in Blenham. It wasn't uncommon for us to come out of the lift to see carers dancing, singing and laughing with the residents. The place is spotlessly clean and bright.
Many of the care staff have been there for quite some time and they clearly love being involved in the residents' lives.
Don't hesitate to place your loved one in their exceptional care.

Our dad received amazing care at Blenham House. All the staff were kind and courteous towards him and every family member that visited. Dad had Alzheimer's but was well aware of the level of care he was receiving, and was delighted to be there. He was cleanly shaven with his teeth brushed and in fresh
clothes every day. This may seem like a standard level of care you would expect your elderly relative to receive anywhere, but I know from experience that it's not to the same standard at every hospital or care home. All at Blenham House provide this at the base level of their excellent care, often going far above and beyond. The meals provided at Blenham House are nutritious and appealing, with the chef happy to receive suggestions to ensure residents can enjoy their favourites. The manager and all her staff can feel proud of their wonderful facility that provides such a beautiful experience for vulnerable residents at the end stage of their lives, and such care and compassion shown to the family.
Reply from Julie Kennedy, Marketing Manager at Blenham House

We are so pleased to hear that your dad was delighted to be with us, to receive a high standard of care to meet his needs. We really appreciate your feedback and for highlighting the nutritious meals, and the support the team extended to your family. Many thanks for taking the time to get in touch.

My dad lived at Blenham House Care Home until he died, of advanced Alzheimer's, and during that time was looked after with incredible loving kindness by the entire team. Everyone from the kitchen and housekeeping, to nurses and carers, as well as management and admin staff were true friends to him and
made our whole family feel welcome and included in every aspect of his life there. Their relationship with the local GP practice is excellent. I can highly recommend Blenham House to families who are looking for genuine care for a loved one in an unpretentious, upbeat environment where your concerns are taken seriously and nothing is too much bother.

Each time I visit my mum I have found all the staff to be extremely friendly and helpful. My mum has been living there since January 2023 and she is very happy and well looked after by all of your staff.
My mum is receiving excellent care at Blenham House Care Home and her overall health has improved

I can not fault Blenham House at all. All of my family members are extremely grateful for the excellent care our mum is receiving.
I live in Tampa, Florida and travel over to Edinburgh as often as I can to see my mum. I call my mum most days and she is always happy and content. This is a huge relief for me, being so far away to hear my mum happy.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.891)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.891) out of 10 for Blenham House 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.891 for Blenham House is calculated as follows: ( (148 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 165 Ratings = 4.891
  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 Blenham House is based on 14 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 14 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.

Job Title: Senior Manager Joined: 2007

I came to Blenham House in 2007 when it was newly opened. It has been a challenge and somewhat of a labour of love to have helped shape it into what we have today – something that would have been impossible without the dedication and hard work of our great staff. I hope (and know) that our Residents and their families feel that this is their home. We try very hard to respect the choices of individuals – which leads to quite a diverse little community here. I know I am doing my job well when I can see lots of smiling faces – both Residents and Staff!
