Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Very happy with the friendly staff and how my mother is being looked after. All members of staff are very helpful
Keep us updated and informed, easy to get in contact with.
Able to use FaceTime calls to see my mother when I can not visit, it gives me peace of mind knowing she is safe and well cared
for.
Would definitely recommend this care home to others

Review from Sophia F (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 November 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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: 9.7 (9.731)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.731) 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 4.7 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.731 for Bearwood Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (132 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.731
  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 13 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 63 registered maximum number of service users is 12.6, which has been reached with 13 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.
