My mum has been in Inglewood for the last 2 years and I am very impressed with the care she is getting.
The staff are very caring, the activities are really good.
The manager and her staff really are first class from the reception down to the cleaners. Five star.

During the 6 weeks my wife was resident in Inglewood nursing home, she was looked after extremely well by the nurses and other staff. In her final days before she dies, she was made comfortable in her room and kept free from pain.

My mother was looked after very well during the time she was a resident at this home. The staff were caring, very attentive to her needs, friendly to us and willing to discuss mum's care, health and welfare. The nursing staff kept us informed of mum's health condition and what medicines were being administered
as directed by the home GP. We are so glad that we found this nursing home to make the last 8 weeks of her life as comfortable as possible.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My wife took up residence at Inglewood Nursing Home on 23rd May 2018 and we have found it a great improvement on the four previous nursing homes she unfortunately has been a resident.
She appears to be very happy in Inglewood and doesn't get upset like she did in previous homes, which is a great relief
to our daughter and myself.
My wife is no longer mobile and needs a great deal of help. The staff we have come into contact with have been exceptionally helpful, kind and understanding, for which we are most grateful.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was at Inglewood for approximately 13 months. She had many medical problems and when she arrived she was very anxious and upset. The staff immediately reassured her and made her welcome. They dealt very well with all her problems and every member of staff from management, nursing, carers,
cleaners and cooks were kind, respectful and very caring. She was always singing their praises.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
As an RBL welfare worker, I had a member in Inglewood some years ago - probably near ten.
I was then impressed with his care and attention from Inglewood staff.
When my sister was in need of care I recommended Inglewood for two reasons. That previous experience, and, with a walking frame it was within
15 minutes plodding of my home.
I was not disappointed and she was happy but reclusive but not with staff who well supported her.

The staff at Inglewood, form the manager through to nursing, care and support workers, maintenance and housekeeping are all so very kind and welcoming. At a very difficult time for my family and me, everyone at the home has done all they could to support us and care for our father during his final days.
Reply from Gail Watkins, Manager at Inglewood Nursing Home

My mum came in Inglewood in September diagnosed with a brain tumour. They treated her amazingly all of the staff knew her by name, knew what she liked and respected her like she was part of their family until she sadly passed away. They did everything to help and treated her with dignity and respect
throughout.

My uncle was a resident at Inglewood Nursing Home for many years. He was a Parkinson's sufferer for decades who lived at home with the help of a carer until his condition required the services of a nursing home. He received excellent care and attention. He loved the food and was always requesting seconds.
The staff, all of the staff, are very caring and he had a smile for all of them. At the end he ws very very comfortable, pain free, and so very well cared for.

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.
