I could not have asked for a better nursing home than this, Frithwood Nursing Home. The staff are incredible and will do whatever it takes to assist a patient with care and support; the place has jaw-dropping, flawless hygiene; the appearance is attractive and whenever you approach the grounds, you
will always feel a hug of welcome envelop you. I'm in awe of how beautiful a place could be and my father is enjoying his time there with people who are similar to him in some or so many ways! The food also seems lovely and each resident gets a well-balanced, fresh meal that is healthy for them. I love my father and I'm so thankful and grateful to this nursing home, otherwise, I would've left him somewhere else. Frithwood Nursing Home, thank you so much for welcoming my father and family with open, welcoming arms and understanding him. Thank you for giving my father a second home in such a wonderful place.

A caring place for loved ones!
I can't express how grateful I am for the exceptional care my father has received at The Frithwood Nursing Home. From the moment he arrived, the staff welcomed him with open arms, making sure he felt comfortable and at home. Their compassion and dedication are evident
in everything they do.
The nursing team is attentive and responsive, always ready to help with a smile. I've seen firsthand how they go above and beyond to ensure each resident feels valued and cared for. The activities they provide keep the residents engaged, and it's heartwarming to see my father participating and enjoying himself.
The facility itself is clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained, creating a warm environment. I feel at peace knowing my father is in such a nurturing place where he receives quality care and companionship.

My husband was admitted to the care home on 31/10/2024. The family are pleased that he is being cared for and is warm and in a safe environment, as he has dementia and is very unsteady on his feet.
We are confident that the staff are looking after him and are concerned for his welfare.

Review from Anupa S (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was moved here from hospital, she has diabetes and advanced Alzheimer's. My husband and I live overseas and were liaising with the home manager and his caring team at The Frithwood well before we could visit. The service, mannerism on the phone were just amazing and we were always reassured that
my mum is being well cared for. We visited UK in August/September, we were so happy with the reception and attitude of all the staff, they were so caring towards my mum, and this has given us so much assurance of her being well looked after. Nursing home and end of life for many patients is very daunting, to have caring people around when family can't be there is heart-assuring for the family, we are in this scenario. Thank you and we commend the service, the attitude of all staff and facilities being offered. Also, my mum is vegetarian, and the staff have been so good at ensuring she is fed correctly as per dietary requirement. Thank you, very satisfied with the care and facilities.

It has been an incredible group of people at the care home who have supported us through these times to help improve my mum's health and help get it back on track. Still a work in progress but the staff has always been really supportive and I'd really thank each and every one out there for helping people
with the best support. A special thanks to the management for being extremely understanding and helpful, thanks a ton!

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.

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.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.761)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.761) 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 4.8 out of 5 from 45 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 45 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 4.761 for The Frithwood Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (416 Excellents x 5) + (89 Goods x 4) + (18 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 523 Ratings = 4.761
  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 45 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 26 registered maximum number of service users is 5.2, which has been reached with 45 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.
