My mother was sent to Inglewood Nursing Home for end-of-life care. The whole experience for me was first-class and I am confident my mother could not have had better care. The staff were most pleasant and attentive. I wish I had known about Inglewood previously, I would have liked to transfer my mother
from the home she was in.

They have a good programme of activities which my mother enjoyed. Our dog was able to visit which really pleased my

My uncle was transferred from the hospital to Inglewood Nursing Home under palliative nursing. He was made very comfortable and provided with excellent care, including medical care by the professional team of staff. The communication from the nursing home to the family was outstanding, especially the
relative's information service. My family felt very reassured and confident my uncle was in excellent hands and being cared for to the highest possible standard with dignity. I would highly recommend Inglewood Nursing Home to anybody when the time becomes necessary for a relative to go into care. Thank you to all the wonderful staff and exceptional management team at Inglewood.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would like to commend all of the staff at Inglewood Nursing Home. Everyone is kind, caring and concerned for my mother’s well being. Each member of the staff calls her by name, holds her hand and spends time talking to her when she’s awake as well as when she’s having a rough day. I live in America
and it’s so very difficult not being able to be there with her every day but I know she is being loved and cared for. I can check on her several times a day through the web-based care notes and speak to her several times a week by phone calls. Inglewood Nursing Home is truly the best care home available.

From the moment I walked into the home, from the receptionist, management and all the other staff, nurses, care workers that I met all made me feel very at home and part of a big family! it was lovely!

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.
