It is the current coronavirus situation that has prompted me to submit this review now, but a review for the wonderful people at Bushey House Beaumont is probably long overdue. My mum has advanced dementia and she's been a resident since October 2017. Whilst Mum might not be able to fully appreciate
the quality of the surroundings and the impeccable care from everybody at Bushey House, we - her family - certainly do.
The care home itself is just a lovely place to be - a stunning building in beautiful surroundings, and extremely well looked after.
More importantly, Mum is looked after by a dedicated and attentive team of people at all times - from the carers and nurses to admin, cleaning staff, catering, maintenance and others. It gives us so much comfort to know that Mum has got such great care. It's a lovely place to visit, and I always feel like one of the family when I come and visit. And right now during lockdown, everybody manages to do an even more impressive job. Thank you all.

Reply from Courtney Moncur, Customer Relationship Manager at Barchester Bushey House Beaumont

Thank you for your kind words. All of the staff at Bushey House have loved caring for your mum over the years. Your words mean so much to us all and we are glad you feel she is safe with us here at Bushey House. I will pass this on to the team here. Kind regards.

Extremely helpful in achieving my husbands move from hospital to Bushey House Beaumont quickly. The carer support was very good with some truly exceptional staff. GP's weekly visit very helpful and of a high standard. Good private physio support. As a family, we felt that my husband was in safe hands.

In comparison to other homes he has been, I'd give this home a 5-star rating in terms of -
Staff (very friendly, kind, professional, supportive and polite). Clean and tidy room. Excellent choice of menu. Nice grooming facility and beautiful surroundings.
But, could do with having additional staff
at night and providing wheelchairs with footrests.

Second time my husband has stayed for a week while I went abroad to see family. He gets confused in new surroundings, but staff looked after him very well and had great patience with him, managing to calm him down when he got agitated. Very satisfied.

My wife and I want to put in writing how delighted we were with the care given to my father at the home, particularly one member of staff, whose care and compassion for my Dad during his final two weeks was more than we hoped for. Also, one member of staff was just the most caring and considerate
listener and caregiver at such a difficult time. She made my wife feel heard and she clearly understood the needs of a man approaching the last few days of life. At this was a greatly difficult time for the family, Barchester Beaumont made my father's transition both peaceful and dignified. Many thanks.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.758)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.758) out of 10 for Barchester Bushey House Beaumont is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 39 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 38 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.758 for Barchester Bushey House Beaumont is calculated as follows: ( (369 Excellents x 5) + (69 Goods x 4) + (18 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 458 Ratings = 4.758

  • b) 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 Barchester Bushey House Beaumont is based on 38 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 38 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
