Many thanks for the compassionate and professional care my mother has received over the past three years. Her passing was conducted with great skill and dignity, I and my brother were with her to the end.

For the three years, my father lived at Arbrook House Care Home, two in palliative care, my family and I were most impressed by the dedication of all staff from whom nothing was too much trouble. They were always prepared to go the extra mile. This was never more apparent than in the distressing last
few weeks of his life in April 2023. Not only did we feel he was having the best care he could possibly have in difficult circumstances but we were touched by the kindness and sympathy shown to us as well. It's a tribute to the management and all staff that our lasting impression of Arbrook House Care Home are positive ones at an otherwise sad time in our lives. Without doubt, they put the care in the term care home.

The staff are friendly and helpful. I needed exercise outdoors but due to the lack of staff, I was unable to have as much as I needed. The cost was more than they told me when I enquired if there was a place vacant.

I cannot commend Arbrook House and its staff enough for the due care, respect, and attention that was given to my late father before his passing. I visited my father daily, and the staff always made me - and other visitors of my father - feel welcome.
I am also endlessly grateful for the care, respect,
and dignity that my father received during his final moments and also for the time, advice, and support I received from staff after my father passed away.
I will forever hold Arbrook House and its staff in high praise.

Our father was a resident of Arbrook House whilst receiving palliative care from November 2022 until his recent death in February 2023.
Throughout his time here, he was extremely satisfied with the care and support that was offered. Upon many visits by family and friends, the staff were very attentive
and were extremely accommodating in organizing various family get-togethers within the grounds which made it possible for him to still feel included due to his reduced mobility.
The staff took the time to build personal relationships with our father which eased his discomfort in regards to not being at home during his last months. The team treated him with respect and kindness right up until the end of his life, the team have also been supportive to the grieving family thereafter.
It warms my heart to know that whilst in the care of Arbrook House he felt safe and comfortable, thank you to the amazing team that do a wonderful job.

The food has improved.
The main problem that applies to this and most care homes is the use of agency workers who are not up to the standard of regular staff. The government needs to solve this problem.

Arbrook House Care Home gives exemplary care to their residents. Yes maybe cliche, however this group of people who work here are caring, does not matter what their primary roles are. They are emphatic, compassionate, efficient, listen, understand, calm, and always ready to listen, advise and discuss
concerns. I am talking about all the team, not only amazing carers/nurses, tea trolley guys, maintenance, cleaners, gardeners, check-in, laundry, entertainment, if I missed anyone. So never any worries, whatever is thrown at them.

Choosing a nursing home for my mother has been one of the hardest things I have had to do. Having visited so many and taking countless references I went back and met with the care manager. Thank goodness I did and thank goodness I chose Arbrook House Care Home. The care manager chooses his staff very
carefully and they all truly want to help the residents. Therefore making this a home from home and the staff become a part of your family. The grounds are amazing and add to the welcoming visits for residents and visitors. The nursing staff have a wonderful bedside manner and try so hard to make all residents comfortable and happy. They engage with the family and think outside of the box. A special shout out to two nurses in particular. Even the gardener, chef, and laundry lady have welcomed and got to know my mother's needs. If you are looking for a nursing or care home where residents come first and they adapt to individuals' needs and listen, then I highly recommend Arbrook House Care Home.

Reply from Alison Horridge, Customer Advisor on behalf of the team at Arbrook House Care Home

Thank you for your kind review. We are so glad that everyone at Arbrook House was able to support you through this decision and help get your Mother settled and happy in our care. We really appreciate you taking the time to write this lovely recommendation.

The last two years have been very difficult for care homes with many restrictions being imposed. Nonetheless, the staff at Arbrook House have made every effort to make things as normal as possible.

To review a care home after nearly 2 years of covid would seem somewhat unfair. There has been an exodus of really good staff who wanted change or better wages, and agency staff can never adequately fill the shoes of those who leave. It has been BUPA policy to isolate people here and keep them safe
in their own room. That has had a disastrous effect on patients' wellbeing, although the activities staff here spent time and effort to make each day meaningful. The only residents' lounge is used by staff for meals and training exercises.

Reply from Alison Horridge, Customer Advisor on behalf of the team at Arbrook House Care Home

Bupa followed all guidelines as set out by PHE to keep our residents and staff safe throughout the pandemic. I hope that since rules have been relaxed you are now able to make full use of all the facilities and you are able to enjoy the activities our staff have arranged. Please let us know if there is anything further we can do to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

The staff nurtured my mother from when she first arrived having had falls at home, until her death. She achieved good health through good homemade food, nursing, and carers attending to everything she needed. She enjoyed the entertainment and the beautiful grounds. The staff were like another family
to her. Her passing was very gentle and peaceful and the staff did everything to make her last days comfortable and dignified. Her relatives were always welcomed.

I was looking for a care home for my mum a few days before lockdown as she had to leave hospital. I went to view Arbrook but I was not allowed in due to their need to protect the residents. This sealed the deal for me and showed how seriously they took the resident care. Another care home I viewed was
happy for me to visit with just a temperature check. It turned out to be the best decision and I was delighted when they agreed to take her. Several months later we saw her room and it was lovely and bright and nicely decorated. The best thing about Arbrook, however, is the staff, they have real affection for the residents and I couldn’t have wished for better care during her last months. My dad even moved in and spent Christmas with her (after quarantine) which was nice as sadly that was their last Christmas together.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.757)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.757) out of 10 for Arbrook House Care Home 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 41 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 41 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 4.757 for Arbrook House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (377 Excellents x 5) + (91 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 481 Ratings = 4.757

  • 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 Arbrook House Care Home is based on 41 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 44 registered maximum number of service users is 8.8, which has been reached with 41 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.
