My wife was discharged from hospital to Inglewood care home for end of life care. She was mostly bedridden and had bad dementia. The staff were wonderful and looked after her with great care and dignity to the end.

Absolutely amazing! Nothing was ever too much. I especially loved the fact that near the end was obvious my dad could not get out of bed, but even when he asked to sit in the chair, he wasn't fobbed off. He was treated with respect as they would bring the 'alds' in probably knowing full well it wasn't
going to happen. I will always be grateful for the dignity and respect my dad was given.

I am relieved that my sister is being so well cared for in her final weeks. She is treated kindly and with respect for her dignity. I am always made to feel welcome by the friendly staff, and I am contacted if there are concerns. As I live at a distance, it is very useful for me to access the App, which
gives constant communication about my sister's condition, her nutrition and detailed nursing care.

My mum has only been at Inglewood a short while but has settled in well. This is down to the kind and caring staff who are truly amazing. They have great empathy and always listen if you have any concerns. They show great kindness towards the residents and genuinely care. The setting is lovely with
beautiful gardens, and the home is kept well and is clean.

Review from Steven M (Son of Resident) published on 22 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum spent the last six months of her life at Inglewood Nursing Home, after experiences in two other local care homes. The staff across all areas were consistently empathetic, patient, and hardworking. A special mention goes to the activities and housekeeping teams, who maintained a genuine human
connection with my mother - something so important for her mental well-being.


The facilities were always clean and welcoming, and the food was both nutritious and tasty, far better than we had seen elsewhere. We also felt well informed about mum's care plan, with clear communication and a detailed diary tracking her health, which gave us great reassurance. It gave us great comfort to know that mum's final months were spent in a place where she was as happy as her health allowed, and where she was so well cared for. We are very grateful to the whole team.

My husband was transferred from the hospital to Inglewood for palliative end-of-life care and was always treated with the utmost dignity at this stage of his life. From the moment I stepped into the reception, I knew he was in the right place. The management and staff were totally committed to making
sure that he received the best possible treatment despite his frailty. I was able to connect to his personal care records, which I found comforting in the knowledge that he was being so well looked after. I cannot thank you enough.

Both receptionists are very welcoming and respectful. All the staff were very caring, friendly and happy to take the time to listen and be supportive. My father was treated with care and consideration. He was treated as a person, not just a room number. I was contacted regularly if there were any concerns

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My family and I cannot thank you enough for the impeccable nursing care offered to my aunt following transfer to Inglewood from hospital over the final 2 weeks of her long life. As a (retired) doctor myself, I am so impressed - absolutely first class, from our first exploratory visit in a state of some
distress with the burden of arranging swift transfer from an acute hospital, through to the transfer itself and subsequent beautiful end of life care for my aunt as well as sympathetic and kind interactions with any visiting family. My aunt's comfort and care was clearly paramount for every staff member. I was particularly grateful be able to remotely access her electronic nursing records which were updated at least 3 times per day and offered regular assurance of her ongoing good quality care, including reports of GP visits - and there were also phone calls to alert me to significant changes so that I could keep her (similarly elderly) sisters updated as necessary. Thank you so much.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When we realised that dad needed to move into a Nursing Home, we felt like rabbits caught in the headlights and it was a very scary time. There were big decisions for us to make, this was all new to us and we found everything really daunting. If you are in that situation rest assured, Inglewood is a
very special nursing home and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your loved one stay there.


The day room is the heart of the home, the TV is amazing and the residents seem to be very happy there. Each day there are activities for the residents to enjoy and the team of experts looking after your loved one 24/7 are all really nice people and highly trained in their area of expertise. The kindness and patience we have seen them show to the residents is second to none.


We know that dad is safe and happy at Inglewood and we are most grateful to everyone for taking such good care of him. There are so many positive things to say but most importantly, we have peace of mind.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.673)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.673) out of 10 for Inglewood 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 47 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 4.673 for Inglewood Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (399 Excellents x 5) + (105 Goods x 4) + (34 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 539 Ratings = 4.673
  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 Inglewood 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 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, 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.
