  • Broad Oak Manor Care Home, Dartford
Broad Oak Manor is a beautiful Edwardian manor house set within a peaceful village, providing residential, nursing and short stay care, including palliative and convalescence care. The home is CQC registered to provide care for over and under 65 years. It's not far from the busy M25 and A2.

There are lots of places where residents can seek out company or enjoy a little quiet time, with the home having a cosy feel whilst retaining charming period features. They can get their hair or nails done in the salon, settle down with a book in the quiet lounge, or join in with an activity. The home is surrounded by lovely landscaped gardens.

A varied food menu is available, and meals can be enjoyed in a dining room, though residents can choose to eat in the privacy of the bedroom if desired. Snacks, lighter options and homemade cakes are available throughout the day as well as a night bite menu.

The home always listens carefully to what the residents have to say, especially when it comes to planning activities. Pamper sessions, flower arranging, movie nights, and arts and crafts among the many activities that residents can choose from seven days a week, including those who are less mobile.

Review from David S (Son of Resident) published on 19 April 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Broad Oak Manor is a haven of peace, calm and respect for its residents. It is beautifully situated with lovely gardens and three lounges. The resident's rooms are clean, well maintained and easily accessible. The homes main attribute, however, is its staff who without exception are caring, loving and
attentive of all their residents. The care they give each of them is outstanding. All of these factors were in evidence during my mother's last days at the home. The nursing staff could not have been more sympathetic and understanding. Thank you to all at Broad Oak Manor.

The standard of cleanliness together with the attentive and caring nature of all members of staff is exemplary. I am very pleased that my husband and I chose Broad Oak Manor as we have every confidence that my father is receiving excellent care and attention. I would not hesitate to recommend the home.

My wife was dying of brain tumours.
The care she received was first class - the gentle, caring staff made her final days as comfortable as possible.

Nurses are excellent so are most of the carers. Food does not always look appetising and the ensuite is too small to be usable. Carers not always available to answer calls quickly and sometimes there is a shortage of staff.

My mother has felt safe and comfortable for the last 9 months.
The rooms are nice and so are the staff. There are many activities if you want to participate and they check on my mother regularly.

Pleased with the care and the amazing staff. The food could be better as the chef needs to have more responsibility over what is cooked. Residents find it difficult to find available staff to return them to their rooms when desired, this can be frustrating.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
During the time I visited my sister we found the care provided to my sister - excellent.
The management and staff showed compassion, love and care for the period of time she was a resident and treated her with dignity. Many of the staff made their time available throughout the day and night to keep
her company when we wouldn't be there which we know she appreciated and made a difference to her quality of life.

My Father has been a resident for 2 years and we could not have wished for him to be in a more caring nurturing Home, it is like a home to home.
He is treated with respect and love by ALL the staff. They were are also very supportive to the family. Broad Oak has a happy feeling to it. Living so
far a way I never worry about my Fathers care.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.824)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.824) out of 10 for Broad Oak Manor Care 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.824 for Broad Oak Manor Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (155 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 188 Ratings = 4.824
  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 Broad Oak Manor Care Home is based on 16 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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4, which has been reached with 16 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.
