Review from Patricia S (Wife of Resident) published on 7 December 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The chefs are extremely helpful and their cooking is excellent. Special diets and needs are catered for very well. The care staff go 'the extra mile' often beyond the call of their duties. I have peace of mind now when I leave the home, knowing he is cared for and looked after.

Review from Anne H (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 August 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mum broke her hip on 1st July, unfortunately, this meant a 2-week stay in the hospital. During this time we became concerned about mum's general well-being, due to her dementia. I contacted Bamfield to tell them that the hospital said mum is medically fit to come home, from this point a carer from
Bamfield and the management team visited mum and made sure mum was able to go back to Bamfield. If it wasn't for the carer going the extra mile, I believe mum may still be in the hospital. Excellent work - cannot thank them enough for their effort.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I find Bamfield Lodge Care Home is very satisfactory in all aspects. All the staff are very caring to all residents. I have no complaints about anything. I would recommend anyone that needed to be looked after to go to Bamfield. It is a very happy home. They could do with a mini bus to take residents
out.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.611)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.611) out of 10 for Barchester Bamfield Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.611 for Barchester Bamfield Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (210 Excellents x 5) + (54 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 280 Ratings = 4.611
  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 Barchester Bamfield Lodge Care Home is based on 23 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 23 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.
