Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father-in-law has been a resident here for most of this past year and he receives the most amazing care from all of the lovely staff. They're always very welcoming, smiley, friendly and approachable and always keep me informed of my father-in-law's changing health and they're always happy to answer
any questions that I may have.
There are also lots of different activities and wonderful singing sessions in the afternoons and all of the residents are encouraged to take part if they can.
Thank you very much to you all and I am very grateful to everyone for the wonderful care that he receives.

The home and staff take very good care of my uncle. He has improved in health and demeanour since being here. Both the staff and manager are attentive to both residents and visitors. There is clear communication and updates. My uncle himself says 'he is very happy here'.

My husband was transferred to Frithwood after a lengthy stay in hospital. Since February he has settled in very well with the help of the caring staff and management meeting his needs. He has a compact very clean room although small but sufficient for him as he spends most of the day in the lounge with
other residents. The staff are very friendly and the manager exceptional. Plenty of food and choices from daily menu. Happy that he is in such a good home.

Review from Sabrina A (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 9 May 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My in-laws have been in the nursing home for about 6 months. The carers are good and know what they are doing, but need reminding them sometimes. Rooms are ok. I think management needs to be after the carers e.g. making sure service users' clothes are not mixed with other users. Service users who are
bedbound need extra care, especially monitoring them with fluids. Carers all very good during feeding time, kind and helpful. Nurses are good too. They will listen to what you have to say, but sometimes need to remind them few times.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The staff are very good and they all look after my mum very well. The new manager is great and he tries to cater to Mum's needs based on our requests. One area of improvement is that the home should be able to cater Asian foods when they have a few Asian residents and hence serving British food at times
doesn't help, so, Asian (Indian) food would be great.

Review from A E (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 April 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mum was a resident at Frithwood Nursing Home for over 3 years. The new manager came towards the latter part of 2023 and Saeeda came on board too, since then things have improved tremendously. A nursing home is good if the staff is good and the manager is good. MD Homes have finally got it right with
the manager and his team. Across from the cleaning staff to the manager, it is a good team and it reflects in the day-to-day running of the home. Unfortunately, my Mum is no more to benefit from the professionally run home. During the last couple of months of her life, the support we got from all the staff, especially 4 members of staff in particular was commendable. The cooperation from 2 members of staff in the kitchen was amazing when we took homemade food. 4 other members of staff were very patient and caring when feeding Mum and with her care. With the manager and his team, I would highly recommend Frithwood Nursing Home.

There really isn't a better nursing home in a five-mile radius that The Frithwood Nursing Home. The home is always clean, well-maintained and above all, the staff are exceptional. They are genuinely caring and attentive to all patients and visitors and it has been a huge relief that my mum is in such
good hands!

I have nothing but praise for the care and support we were given for my father and my family at The Frithwood Nursing Home. My father was admitted to Frithwood for palliative care, sadly he wasn’t at Frithwood for very long. The care and support we received from every member of staff was amazing. They
put their residents care first and foremost and nothing is too much trouble for the staff.
The home is run with professional standards from management leadership all the way through to the care staff and the cook. All who make it feel like it’s one big family home.
Thank you Frithwood for all you do.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.727)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.727) out of 10 for The Frithwood Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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 4.727 for The Frithwood Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (312 Excellents x 5) + (77 Goods x 4) + (17 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 406 Ratings = 4.727
  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 The Frithwood Nursing Home is based on 35 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 26 registered maximum number of service users is 5.2, which has been reached with 35 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.
