I would like to say thank you to all the staff at Radbrook Home for taking such good care of my mother's needs during her respite period. From your excellent PR/Administration team to your caring, friendly, helpful dedicated staff who tended to my mother's everyday needs, the front-of-house catering
team were terrific! Definitely, a home that I would recommend to others who have a need for TLC whether nursing or respite.
Thank you again and continue to keep safe.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My aunty was transferred to Radbrook Nursing home recently 23.04.22, She was only there four days when she sadly passed away.
I just wanted to say the service, care and compassion shown was absolutely faultless, my aunt never wanted to go into a home but I'm sure if she knew how good the service and
staff were she would have felt differently.
I cannot thank you all enough, every person we met within the establishment had the same loving and caring attitude.
A very well done to everybody. Please pass this review to the Head Office team.
Reply from Janet Pannell, Interim Head of Operations at Radbrook Nursing Home

Thank you for your review, we were pleased to have been able to help and support your aunt during her time with us. I have as requested shared your comments with our Head Office team and will ensure that the Manager and staff also receive your feedback.

I spent 10 days in Radbrook recovering from an operation. It was clean and tidy and had all the facilities I needed. I found all the staff to be attentive and delightfully friendly. If someone needs a care home then it is the place to go.

We moved mother into Radbrook towards the end of 2020 as we had had previous experience of the care shown at Radbrook during her sister's brief stay the year before. Mom settled in very well and I have been very impressed by the care, kindness, and consideration shown both to her and myself by the staff.
I am also delighted that the residents are kept fully occupied and engaged throughout the day by designated staff.

My mother was admitted in November 2020. We chose Radbrook Nursing Home as my aunt spent some respite here a year before. Then and now we have found the staff to be approachable, friendly and knowledgeable. The building is welcoming, clean and warm. I have not answered a couple of the boxes due to a
change in management and limitations due to Covid-19. Our mother looks happy and is always well dressed and clean. We no longer worry about her care as we know it is all catered for.

Thank you for taking the time to review our service, we are slowly moving back to as normal as possible, supporting people to visit their loved ones inside the home. Our new Manager will arrange a virtual meeting to introduce herself as soon as she is in post.

Review from Kathryn (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 October 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our Mother was in hospital. We rang the Care Home, as we did not want our Mum to spend her last days in a ward but did not know of other alternatives. The manager helped us whilst our Mum was in hospital, giving us support and advice. He was a lifeline to us both (Myself and my Sister) at a very upsetting
time - both whilst in the hospital and after Mum was moved to Radbrook. Nothing was too much trouble. The care provided by all the staff at Radbrook was outstanding - as was the compassion shown to us. As Mum was on the end of life care, we were able to visit her (one at a time and with sensible precautions). This was so important to us and enabled us to be with our Mum in her last days and hours. The room was lovely and peaceful and Mum was looked after so well. We are eternally grateful to this outstanding team for their strength and compassion, particularly in such difficult times. They should be very proud of themselves - as are we. Thank you all so very much.

As a family, we face a very difficult situation when our beloved mum broke her hip and needed to move into a nursing home during the pandemic. We will be eternally grateful to the management at Radbrook for helping us and ensuring our mum had the very best care possible at this time. Despite their own
workload, they went above and beyond to help us. The care mum has received has been outstanding. The social life coordinators have also time and again gone the extra mile to keep us connected.

Review from James A (Son of Resident) published on 3 June 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at Radbrook arranged for me to visit my mother on the 75th anniversary of VE Day, during the Covid pandemic. The pandemic protocol was excellently arranged (mum in the foyer and me outside) and dignified as Mum and I enjoyed our first meeting in exactly two months.
I could see through the
glass that the staff were dressed in Forties-style costume to mark the day and were obviously intent on making the day a stimulating and fun one for the residents.
I can honestly say it was one of the happiest memories of my lockdown experience. That there are men and women who are so enthusiastic in caring for our mother is hugely humbling for my brother and I.
Care homes sometimes suffer a bad press, Radbrook is in a different league. It’s first and foremost a home. Mum - and her family - would be lost without what it does.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.907)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.907) out of 10 for Radbrook Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 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 4.907 for Radbrook Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (149 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 162 Ratings = 4.907
  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 Radbrook 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.
