Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our mother suffered from dementia and was admitted six years ago.
I can honestly say that the care she received was brilliant. The care staff were extremely caring, and it was obvious they enjoyed their job by the love they expressed. So much so that our family had no concerns that Mum was getting
the best possible care.

Dear Malcolm, thank you for the great review completed for us.
It was our pleasure to look after your mother, and we are pleased to see that you and your family were happy with our services.

Review from Adrian S (Son of Resident) published on 4 January 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After years of living independently, my mother needed care and attention due to her advancing dementia.
She arrived lonely, frightened and worried, but the care and compassion shown by all the staff helped her settle down.
During all of my visits and calls, it was evident that the warm relationships
with carers, medics, support staff and management were genuine. It meant a great deal to know, just by the tone of the banter, that my mother was enjoying the company of others in a friendly, safe environment.
Importantly, medical ailments and treatment options were discussed early with respect and dignity.
Occasionally, there were minor slip-ups, but the response was honest, and any issues were addressed promptly, which reinforced my appreciation of the service by Hunters.
Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Hunters.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I came for a period to convalesce following a hip replacement. I arrived feeling very tired and sore. The staff quickly made me feel welcome and the nutritious meals have, over the week, had strengthened me considerably. The care shown to me has been excellent. Eating in the dining room is a lovely
way to meet people and have a chat. The furnishings of both the bedroom and bathroom are of a good standard and the setting with the garden surrounding this home is relaxing. The home is well-managed and very competently run and should the need arise, I would be very happy to return.

Review from E G (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 August 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our mum came to Hunters Care Home in Cirencester in April 2015, suffering from dementia and no longer able to live at home due to her deteriorating condition. Whilst the transition from her own home was difficult, the staff worked really hard to settle her and make her feel at home and she quickly
adapted to her new environment. As a family of 3 daughters we have visited Mum frequently and regularly and have nothing but praise for the staff who have cared for her throughout her stay. All of the team on Memory Lane have been very caring, informative and always available. Most importantly we know she has been loved and cared for by those with the expertise and support she needed. Nothing has ever been too much trouble and we are eternally thankful that she was able to live the final years of her life in such a supportive and caring home. Thank you to all those who knew and who looked after her; as a family, we are all truly grateful.

Dear E G,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review for our home.
As we have already discussed, your mother was part of Hunters family, she was loved here and it was our pleasure to look after her. She has been a while at Hunters Care Centre and she seemed to enjoy it.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother moved into Hunters Care Home some three and a half years ago, already suffering from advanced dementia. She passed away very recently in her 98th year.
I wish to say how grateful I am to all the staff I have encountered at Hunters for their consistent and genuine care and kindness in dealing
with my mother. If I had to pick anyone out I would say a particular thank you to the clinical lead for Memory Lane and to the general manager both of whom have unendingly supported both my mother and myself to a very high standard.
To all of Hunters' staff, thank you so much for making my mother's last years comfortable and bearable. I would unconditionally recommend Hunters to anyone looking for a first-class care home.

I wanted to express my thanks to especially the chef and the receptionist for organising a birthday tea party for my friend. She has not seen her friends for some time and following my instructions a great deal of effort was made to make the event memorable and my friend was overwhelmed with emotion.
Thank you to the team that made this lovely treat such a wonderful experience.

When I visited Hunters Care Home to look around, I was impressed by the lovely receptionist who was both friendly and helpful. They have continued to be so throughout Mum's stay and it makes a large impact to be greeted by someone so kind. Everyone else has been similarly generous with smiles and help.
Congratulations to a great body of staff.

Throughout mum's respite stay, she has felt secure and cared for. She has maintained as much independence as possible whilst still being fully supported by the very caring staff. Unfortunately, a Covid outbreak during her stay meant too much time in a relatively small bedroom, but apart from that she
has enjoyed and been encouraged to participate in a variety of activities. The whole team have been supportive and flexible during a difficult time for our family.

We are so pleased that we were able to help your mother and it was lovely to see the way she has improved her confidence and her independence whilst living at Hunters Care Centre.

I am hoping she is doing well and we are looking forward to seeing her visiting her friends here soon.

My dad went into Memory Lane at the end of December 2022, and my mum went into the general area in January 2023. It was an extremely stressful time for us all, but the care of the staff made it a better experience. From the manager down, the staff are very empathetic and caring. My parents are very
well looked after and safe, which made the tough decision to put them in care easier.

The general manager has been a delight to deal with, nothing is too much trouble and he is immediately responsive. My mother was a very reluctant arrival but is settling well and engaging with everything. The home is beautifully appointed and my parent's room is very comfy and modern. Delicious food,

Review from Rupert B (Son of Resident) published on 9 January 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 97 yr old father with dementia had an emergency admission on the afternoon of 23.12.22 - having contacted the care home only that morning. The manager came and assessed him immediately and arranged for transport to pick him up. He was admitted to a clean room with good facilities. His clothes and
belongings were immediately tagged. The nursing staff looking after him were kind and attentive and cheerful. They made him comfortable and undertook regular observation. On 25.12 he was ready to come to us for Christmas lunch by 10.30 am. Unfortunately on the evening of the 27th, he deteriorated further. He required quite a lot of input from the senior nurses overnight, who arranged for him to be seen by the paramedics and then the on-call doctor for the area.
The family had already decided that aggressive treatment was futile in my father's case - so he remained in the nursing home receiving exemplary end-of-life care. We were made to feel welcome and were able to stay until he died.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother spent the last 6 months of her life at Hunters Lodge. She had just lost her husband and had become very confused and upset. She came for respite care initially but we knew she couldn't cope alone in her apartment. She moved to Hunters permanently to be near me and had a beautiful newly refurbished
room which opened out onto the courtyard. She loved the outdoors so much and this was really important for her. She had a lovely summer in the courtyard, eating outside and socialising with her new friends. She had really started to settle, join in activities and make friendships.
From the beginning, all the staff were amazing caring and welcoming to my mother and us. It was good to know she was safe, warm and well-fed. Hunter's lodge is a very special place because of the wonderful staff. They cared so well for Mum and since her death, they have also cared for me.

We would like to say a big heartfelt thank you to everyone who knew and cared for our lovely Dad on Memory Lane, who sadly left us all on Thursday 1st September. His long struggle with dementia is finally over but his spirit will live on.
My Dad received so much love and respect from everyone, it
will never be forgotten. Hunters became his home but you all became his second family, he loved you all as did we.
It takes somebody special to do the job that you all do. You can't learn it from a book, it's either in your heart or not. You are all amazing people and we will miss seeing you all. Thank you again for everything that you did for Dad and for your massive support and kindness when he passed away.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Hunters Care Home provided care for my mum in what turned out to be the last week of her life.
We knew when organising a place for her it would be end-of-life care, and the home manager was so supportive and helpful in guiding me through the process.
They responded quickly to my mum's needs and went
above and beyond to speed up her admission.
Once at Hunters, the staff were so caring and compassionate and were happy to respond to any requests.
They treated my mum with care and respect and made me feel comfortable in what was an incredibly difficult and emotional time.
I can’t thank the staff enough; they do an amazing job, and the management was so supportive and responsive. I would recommend them without hesitation.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.841)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.841) out of 10 for Barchester Hunters Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.841 for Barchester Hunters Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (245 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 290 Ratings = 4.841
  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 Hunters Care Home is based on 25 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 85 registered maximum number of service users is 17, which has been reached with 25 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.
