Review from Diane R (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 July 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The staff at Tower Bridge are, in the vast majority of cases, caring and keen to improve the service.
Some routines seem to inhibit the delivery of a prompt response to the call bell as does the occasional lack of staff.
I accept that the home tries to provide the statutory number but this is significantly
short of the number required for the needs of residents and they often have to wait longer than they should to have intimate needs met.
Care staff, office staff, activities team, house keeping, maintenance and management do all they can to make Tower Bridge a home.
Food is variable, though kitchen staff consult and make changes where they can.
Reply from Katie Price, Careline Advisor at Tower Bridge Care Home
The staffing in the home is based on the dependency assessment of each Resident. We respond to the needs of the unit following a dependency review each month. The allocation of staff is reviewed daily…read more

I feel the care home are trying to give my cousin the best they can.


However, I feel my cousin is in the wrong place. He is a stroke victim and should be in a place with other stroke victims.

My mum moved in Nov 2016, she has settled in very well. She looks better in herself, she is clean and tidy and has a visit to the hairdresser every week. The staff and management are caring and friendly. We are very happy with the home.

Review from J R (Son of Resident) published on 9 August 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
My mother is well cared for in it's widest sense i.e. the homes cleanliness, food, medical checks/medicine dispensing and communication of these is good. Staffing levels are adequate and the relatively new management team have all but eradicated reliance on temporary carers/nursing, which was prevalent
earlier in the year and in 2015. One area that continues in my view to be substandard is the degree of "quality time" i.e. one to one time that is spent with individual residents. Activities staff are either part time and/or stretched in terms of record keeping, number of residents they have to attend to. Part of this is likely also to be due to the level of experience of some carers. Overall an improving quality of care is being provided at Tower Bridge.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.316)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.316) out of 10 for Tower Bridge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 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 4.455 for Tower Bridge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (137 Excellents x 5) + (102 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 257 Ratings = 4.455
  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 4.861 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tower Bridge 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 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 122 registered maximum number of service users is 24.4. 21 Positive Reviews ÷ 24.4 = 0.861
  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.
