As part of our journey to deciding when to move into a care home my wife and I jointly experienced a period of respite care in Blenheim House.
We thought the overall experience was excellent. The community atmosphere and family environment were immediately apparent as though transferred by osmosis
from all the house walls.
With residential status we were free to experience the full range of facilities and join in the varied and numerous daily wellbeing activities.
All the staff members were caring, flexible and professional in whatever circumstances they were asked to help or become involve

Reply from Mandy MacKenzie, Customer Relationship Manager at Blenheim House Care Home

I have been a resident at Blenheim House for a while now, however after a recent short stay in hospital I want to make the following statement. I was really welcomed 'home' and feel that my care has been good. I am supported to be as independent as I can and have made lots of new friends. A very varied
programme of activities is offered to suit people. I have a ground floor room with a patio and spend time outside in the beautiful garden.

Reply from Mandy MacKenzie, Customer Relationship Manager at Blenheim House Care Home

We are so pleased to have you back 'home'. Its great for us all to see your recovery continuing and you were missed during your short hospital stay. Thank you for taking the time to let us know how much you enjoy life at Blenheim House and long may that continue.

I am delighted with the care and attention given to my father. He is listened to and his preferences are accommodated.He is treated with respect and sincere kindness. He is eating very well and enjoying his glass of wine at lunchtime! He is often found in the beautiful garden reading his newspaper or
snoozing. Most of all Blenheim House has allowed me to be a daughter again and not a carer and that is priceless.

Reply from Mandy MacKenzie, Customer Relationship Manager at Blenheim House Care Home

Thank you so much for taking the time to review Blenheim House. We love having your father living here with us, he is a gentleman and and a joy to care for. So incredibly pleasing too is the fact that you are able to have the relationship you both deserve of father/daughter and its wonderful to welcome you and your family into the home and see you spending quality, shared family time together.

Flawless and exceeding my expectations. From my first contact with the CRM to discuss the possibility of mum moving here - she immediately put my mind at ease with her professional and kind manner. The carer team are just wonderful - each and everyone of them is so kind, caring, patient and it is very
clear they love their job, the residents and their colleagues. This culture appears very strong and seems to be a results of the team spirit and team leadership. Also huge praise to the head chef.

A kindly gentle atmosphere for most of the time. I am made to feel special - cared for. All the carers are kind and gentle - there are several outstanding ones whom I will be sad to say goodbye to when the time comes. I think one member of staff, in particular, looks very tired at times - so we must
care for him while we can. The brilliant leader in every way - kind, considerate, gentle; we are so fortunate to have his wisdom with us nearly everyday. He is so wise - so caring - so strong; I have learned many things from him - all helpful and full of warmth. It has been a privilege to know so many special people - including the kind lady who taught us all we know.

My Mother was looked after at Blenheim house following Chemotherapy and a fall. The care she received was exemplary, not only was her medical needs taken care of but the team at Blenheim went above and beyond to make sure she was happy and comfortable, nothing was too much trouble.
They welcomed family
and friends when visiting with open arms and warm hospitality.
My Mother has since returned to her home to live independently, without the care from the Blenheim House for three months, this would have been unthinkable.
So thank you for all your kindness, support and efforts you give each of the residents in your care and for making the transition from hospital to care home so easy, especially when so many family members are in a state of distress at a difficult time.

My mother and father arrived at Blenheim House Care Home during November last year and were immediately made to feel welcome and part of the family. My dad died soon afterwards and the staff couldn't have been more professional and caring. The staff seem, universally, to be enthusiastic and genuine

Please do not be taken in by the free coffee, cakes, nice garden and the facilities on offer at this care home. The thing that was totally lacking during my wife's respite care was high quality care. My wife previously had stayed in two care homes which charged a lot less than Blenheim and the quality
of care was very high, be careful and do loads of research.

Reply from Mandy MacKenzie, Customer Relationship Manager at Blenheim House Care Home

Dear Mr C We are very sorry to receive your review and that you have been so disappointed in the care your wife received whilst at Blenheim House last year. I can assure you that your complaint was thoroughly investigated last September, and we have tried to invite you to meet with us to share our findings and assure you of our care standards. It is unfortunate that these were declined. Residents' care is always our priority here and we can only apologise again if you did not find this to be the case at Blenheim House.

My mum stayed at Blenheim House for two weeks respite to enable us to go on holiday. Right from the first encounter with the customer relations manager, he was friendly, reassuring and accommodating. All the staff were a credit to the care home and couldn't have been more friendly, caring and helpful.
My mum was very content during her stay and thoroughly enjoyed the numerous activities, especially the singing. We will definitely approach Blenheim House when my mum needs future care. Many thanks to everyone working there.

Well, where do I start?
After viewing care homes in the local area, we came across Blenheim House Care Home and what a lucky find. My mother has Alzheimer's and safety and mental stimulation on a daily basis were a priority. We opted for two weeks of respite and Mum settled immediately. The staff are
friendly, happy and exceed expectations, so we decided for her to stay permanently. We have a lovely welcome whenever we visit and our dog loves it too. Thank you, Blenheim!

I can't speak highly enough of Blenheim House Care Home. From the admittance, Mum settled down straight away after 10 minutes of arriving, she was singing and dancing to the entertainment. It's honestly like a five-star hotel. Administration staff, food, activities and rooms are fantastic, there is
always somebody on hand to assist Mum. The gardens are wonderful, beautifully maintained, the standard of cleanliness is next to none. Very happy overall and so is Mum, she's safe, relaxed, stimulated and cared for extremely well.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.675)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.675) out of 10 for Blenheim House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.675 for Blenheim House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (253 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 323 Ratings = 4.675

  • b) 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 Blenheim House Care Home is based on 26 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 26 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

A lover of all things French—food, wine, culture, fashion, and history—I also have a deep passion for music, with an eclectic playlist that spans jazz, classical, modern hits, and rock ‘n’ roll. Fun fact: During my time as an Executive Head Chef in Maidenhead, I made Sir Terry Wogan’s 50th birthday cake!
