I am very happy here.
Everything is done well and I am yet to find fault.
I am very happy with the visiting arrangements given the current pandemic and how the care home staff have managed to ensure we still see our loved ones.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum is 100; she has been in Bowood for over 2 years, since moving from the North.
Having seen her in other homes I can state that in Bowood the care has always been first class.
The efficient and effective processes introduced to manage the pandemic were exemplary, with new residents isolated and
treated by separate carers until confirmed negative. As lockdown eased, structured visiting was introduced - with pods and gazebos. As Mum is unable to be moved I am allowed to visit in her room as an essential visitor (with the same testing and ppe as the staff). Friends from up North are also allowed to visit her window provided they book, which ensures that they don't interact with other visitors.
Social activities are varied, daily and excellent.
Medical control is unrivalled - each resident's meds displayed on a laptop on the trolley, which also displays the residents' photo as a check.
Carers, cleaners and support staff all have excellent interpersonal skills.
100% impressed!

I have made, what I consider permanent, many if not all of the staff at Bowood Court & Mews. Since my introduction as an inmate after a severe illness including Covid-19, I have met with unfailing 100% care and consideration. Food is also plentiful. Standards of hygiene are unsurpassed and I can categorically
state my physical and mental capacity has doubled in here.

My mother has been a resident at Bowood Court for almost 2 years. Throughout that time we cannot fault the care that she has received. The staff are helpful, informative and always cheerful. They have kept her mind stimulated and appreciated her sense of humour; as well as attending to all her personal
needs. She has certainly enjoyed the food that is provided. Thank you. Her care here has been great!

I am very impressed with the love and care given to my father during his stay at Bowood Court. Nothing was too much trouble and particularly during the last days of his life, the care was second to none, not only to him but also to my sister and myself while we sat with him.

I have always found the staff friendly and helpful on the many occasions when I visited my father. The care given to my father during his stay was excellent. I spent many days at Bowood Court during the last days of my father's life and was most impressed by the commitment of the staff, who were also
very kind to us at this time.

The overall love, care, respect, empathy, support and professionalism given to my Mother in Law has been wonderful. Home from home care. Only criticism is the telephone system. Frustrating when you can't get through at times.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Bowood is an excellent care home where staff go the extra mile to meet the needs of the residents. We truly believe that our Mum's two years at Bowood increased her quality of life and its enjoyment, extending her years. When we made the hard decision to put Mum in care, due to her health and dementia
deterioration, we were worried and felt extremely guilty. But that did not last long, as the care she received was outstanding. She was so happy there. Sadly she passed away, but the staff came into their most caring and comforting selves and went the extra mile to ensure she, and us, were supported during her final days.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother moved into Bowood Court in June. She had spent two months in various hospitals and decided reluctantly she would no longer be able to look after herself at home. Bowood Court has managed a remarkable turnaround in my mother. She is eating properly, putting on weight, socialising and very happy.
There
is a packed, varied activities programme every morning and afternoon, including weekends - cooking, films, quizz, sherry, crafts, guest singers, etc. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff, who are everywhere.
After years of worry, I am now happy my mother has the best of care - as are all the family. My husband likes Bowood Court to a four-star hotel. An excellent care home.

I have already recommended it twice for a relative. The head chef knew about 'soft food' fab!. Managed to relax on holiday for two weeks! He had daycare here at Bowood Mews and felt relaxed. The office staff reassured us from day one. My life has changed. Told the social worker how fab it is to bring
to the team.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.479)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.479) out of 10 for Bowood Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.511 for Bowood Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (152 Excellents x 5) + (56 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 227 Ratings = 4.511
  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 4.968 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bowood Court Care Home is based on 18 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 93 registered maximum number of service users is 18.6. 18 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.6 = 0.968
  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.
