Review from Paul G (Son of Resident) published on 13 January 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has been at Barchester Wingfield Care Home, upstairs in 'Memory Lane' for over four years.
I can honestly say this is the best place I could wish him to be.
The care staff and nurses are truly fantastic, his room is really comfortable and the food is like a top hotel.
There are plenty
of activities laid on for him to do or he can simply rest in comfort.
The office staff and management are always happy to assist.
If you want your loved one to be surrounded by professional, caring and truly good people then choose this care home.
There is even a Doctors practice right next door on hand.
I highly recommend Wingfield Care Home in Trowbridge.

The home is out of our locality. The manageress is approachable and is currently making positive changes in the home. Activities normally take place outside of my visiting times, so I cannot comment.

I needed emergency respite for my mum as my dad had to go to hospital following a 999 call. I phone 12-15 homes, and Wingfield was the only home able (and willing) to take Mum the same day. They took her after carrying out a phone assessment, and the whole process was as smooth as it could be in the
circumstances. For this, I am extremely grateful. In the two weeks, she was there, Mum was looked after very well by caring staff in a nice environment.

My husband has been in the Dementia wing for three months. He has Parkinsonism but is rarely helped with drinks. He has a very infrequent shower and shaves. He has only been taken to one of the organised 'entertainments' in the whole three months, so has hardly any mental or physical stimulation. I
have requested that we be taken to the dining room for lunch every day but this rarely happens so he rarely has a break from sitting in his room. He is bored and lonely.

You are never sure when you choose a nursing home for your loved one what it would be like! All I can say is I have never had any doubts about his care and wellbeing. I have got nothing but praise and love for everyone who looked after my husband. I think they are exceptional, kind and very passionate
about caring. I can't thank everyone enough. I love you all and I will miss you all. Thank you so much to you all love from me and my family

It has been very difficult not being able to see my mum on a daily basis like I could before the start of the pandemic. However, it has been very reassuring to know that she has well cared for and safety has been the prime focus from everybody in Wingfield. Now I can visit she looks well and happy,
and if she's happy, I'm happy.

My mother seems very happy at Memory Lane and I know she is thought very fondly of by the staff. She receives excellent care and I am confident she is well looked after. At times I have had concerns over staffing levels and the impact this could have on residents safety. I also feel like the decor/furnishings
have no comparison to the other home, which is beautiful inside. Memory lane seems to have been forgotten when it comes to the "wow" factor and is really in need of a revamp of furnishings and decoration.
Lastly, I can't praise the reception staff enough - Excellent.

Really pleased that 'in-room' visits have started again, as online and pod not quite the same. Dad seems well and well looked after and staff are always helpful.
Fewer activities owing to the pandemic situation, probably lead to less stimulating environment, but no doubt there will probably be more
now that restrictions are easing.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My review is given at a difficult time, during the pandemic of Covid-19. The staff are very helpful if they have been made aware of the situation. The entertainment staff work so hard to keep the residents happy during this lockdown period. Entertainment is great at normal times. Food had been better
before the pandemic struck; since the kitchen has been made aware that everyone pays their own rates, things have got better. I believe the night staff are very caring. I believe the one big problem is that when people ring for help, staff (for whatever reason) make them wait a long time.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.726)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.726) out of 10 for Barchester Wingfield Care 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 44 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 4.726 for Barchester Wingfield Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (473 Excellents x 5) + (52 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (13 Poors x 2) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 558 Ratings = 4.726
  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 Wingfield Care Home is based on 44 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 89 registered maximum number of service users is 17.8, which has been reached with 44 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.
