My mother passed away on 14/02/22. But I can honestly say that the care provided at Bearwood Nursing Home was exceptional.

she was with you.

I have a family member at the Bearwood Nursing Home. I visit regularly and are always made to feel welcome. We were kept updated with my family members health during covid which also put all family members minds at rest.
The staff carry out activities that residents enjoy and the care staff give
to each resident is also at a high standard.

My Dad has been in a lot of care homes as a respite service user. He was never looked after well. Since he came to Bearwood Nursing Home he received outstanding care. My dad is really happy in the care home. And we as a family see it as lovely and we are happy about it. staff always go the extra mile
to do anything for you, there is always healthy food options during night and day. It is the best care home, we are so happy how well my dad came home from being in this care home. if I could give them 10 stars I would.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.783)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.783) out of 10 for Bearwood Nursing 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.783 for Bearwood Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (205 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 249 Ratings = 4.783
  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 Bearwood Nursing Home is based on 20 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 63 registered maximum number of service users is 12.6, which has been reached with 20 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.

Rajwinder Kaur Sahota

Job Title: Home manager Joined: 2012

I have been working in care for the past 14 years at Bearwood Nursing Home, where I’ve gained valuable experience supporting residents with a wide range of needs. Over time, I’ve developed a strong understanding of person-centred care and have grown both professionally and personally, building my confidence, skills, and commitment to delivering high-quality care.


I was inspired to work in care because I wanted to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. I find it incredibly rewarding to support residents, ensure their comfort, and help maintain their dignity and independence. What I enjoy most is building relationships with residents and their families and knowing I can have a positive impact on their day.


My key strengths include strong communication, teamwork, and empathy. I have experience supporting residents with complex needs, building trusting relationships, and working closely with colleagues. I pride myself on being reliable, approachable, and always willing to support my team.


My approach is compassionate, respectful, and person-centred. I take the time to understand each resident’s individual needs and preferences so they feel valued and heard. I also focus on clear communication with families and creating a positive, supportive environment for my team.


I strongly believe in treating others with kindness and respect, both in and out of work. Outside of my role, I enjoy spending time with family and maintaining a healthy work-life balance. I’m also passionate about continuous learning and always look for ways to improve my skills and provide the best possible care.
