My stay was made very pleasant due to excellent management and wonderful staff. The accommodation was very pleasant, the room was kept very clean. The food was good although sometimes it arrived a bit cold. I couldn't have been looked after better.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I went in from hospital after surgery for post operation treatment and respite care. I was well treated by many helpful and friendly staff, who were always pleasant. Food was good, varied and well cooked. I took part in some activities when I felt better, which I enjoyed, the lovely garden which much
appreciated. One small point, some large print books would be useful for people with poor sight. I was well satisfied with the experience at Inglewood and would go there again If I ever required nursing care etc.

The staff at the home were helpful and caring in settling my husband in for a week's respite care. I was very satisfied by the way they looked after him and pleased by the way they provided activities and outings. I would definitely like my husband to stay at Inglewood again.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The cleanliness and ambience of the home is good, as is the food and laundry. The medical staff and carers are generally very good, though sometimes new staff take time to adjust to schedules and on occasion language. My mother is well cared for and staff are attentive. Reception is always welcoming.

Although my mum wasn't at Inglewood for long, the time she had there was lovely. Mum was made to feel special and her needs catered for. Even in her final hours the staff looked after Mum and the family that were there with her.

Review from Caron M (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 April 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum arrived five weeks before she passed away from lung cancer to receive palliative care. We did not know at this point how long she had. She quickly settled in with the help of the nurses and carers. She had a lovely room with views of the pretty garden. The care she received was exceptional from
all members of staff. I didn't realise a nursing home would be so nice and welcoming. visiting mum daily we were constantly offered drinks and food too. Keep up the good work Inglewood.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother originally went to the home for 2 weeks to recover from a hip fracture. From the moment I looked around the home I was made to feel welcome and supported. My mother remained at Inglewood for 6 weeks and then made her decision to stay there permanently. The activities programme is second to
none and all staff treat her well. I can only say that I would recommend Inglewood without hesitation.

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.
