Review from Jane S (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father spent the last few months of his life at Frenchay Park Gardens and I am left with happy memories of his time there. I thought the Staff were wonderful with him and nothing was ever too much trouble. The Manager was always very prompt in replying to the odd email I sent if I ever had a query
or a request.


My Dad wasn't always the easiest Resident due to his condition and I was so grateful to the skill of the nursing staff their patience and understanding. I visited Dad most days for an hour or so and all the Staff were very welcoming and friendly to myself too.


Given other Care Homes I looked at, I feel grateful that we secured a room at this one. The room was spacious and pleasant, but above all the Care was very good indeed.

Reply from Denise Worgan, Manager at Frenchay Park Gardens Care Home

Thank you for the very kind and positive comments. Your father was always a true gentleman. Best wishes to all.

Review from B S (Wife of Resident) published on 12 March 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband was transferred to Frenchay Park Bristol early in 2022 with dementia. He had failing speech, sight and mobility, which worsened over time and as a result was very vulnerable.
As a person, whilst friendly and sociable, he always valued solitude and/or silence and preferred classical music,
so the security of his own space was important to him.
The staff at Frenchay, led by the manager, gave him that security with loving care, which we as a family valued very much and have recommended.
Reply from Denise Worgan, Manager at Frenchay Park Gardens Care Home

I really can't thank everyone enough. My mother is very well looked after. Spotlessly clean, well fed and happy.
All the staff are lovely and helpful.
All in all, in my opinion, I would not put my mother anywhere else.

Thanks to everyone for such excellent care that you gave Mum during her illness and up until she sadly passed away. The care she received was exceptional and I could not have wished for more.
I found all the staff very warm and friendly and the home is absolutely spotless, they all work very hard and
make a fantastic team.

My Aunt was a resident at Frenchay Park Gardens for just over three months until she sadly passed away last week. The manager and her team are absolutely fantastic. They are dedicated, committed and very caring. In my Aunts final weeks, the staff treated her with dignity, compassion, care and love.
I cannot thank them enough. I cannot rate this nursing home highly enough! Thanks for the wonderful care and support to not only my Aunt but to me as well.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum stayed at Frenchay Park Gardens for just over three months until she, unfortunately, passed away. As a family, we could not have been more pleased with the level of care she received. All the staff treated my mum with the greatest respect and were always welcoming to us, as family members and
her many friends who visited her. The home is very modern, spotlessly clean, light and airy. The staff take the time to sit and talk to the residence and there are also activities for those who wish to join in. The food is also amazing. To quote my mum "it was like staying in a 10*hotel". I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Review from Judy P (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mum came to Frenchay Park for respite care after suffering a nasty fall and being in general poor health. The nursing care and general care she has received is fantastic. All the staff are friendly and caring. Mum was one of the first residents and after her initial respite period, is now considering
becoming a permanent resident. The home is bright and airy, all the rooms are large with full en-suite wet rooms and TV's. The home is spotlessly clean and warm. There is also a pretty garden for residents to enjoy in nice weather. My Mum has suffered from erratic diabetes for many years, but since being in Frenchay Park, the nurses have been constantly monitoring her blood sugars and it has now settled down for the first time in many years. I would have absolutely no reservation in recommending Frenchay Park. The manager and her team do a fantastic job.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.157)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.157) out of 10 for Frenchay Park Gardens 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 6 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 4.648 for Frenchay Park Gardens Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (46 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 71 Ratings = 4.648
  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 4.509 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Frenchay Park Gardens Care Home is based on 6 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 = 3.6
    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 33 registered maximum number of service users is 6.6. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 6.6 = 0.909
  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.
