Amazing place. Mum moved into Overslade in the spring of 2016. She was end of life care with COPD. She passed in October 2017. A life longer than we expected and I’m sure that is down to Overslade's care.
From day 1 not only was Mum welcomed but myself and my family were too. Everyone knew our names
from carers/nurses to the manager and receptionists. They were all friendly and helpful. They even loved and welcomed my dog who went to stay with Mum most days.
Mum loved all the staff and they honestly could not do enough for her. Mum spent a lot of time in and out of hospital with chest infections which were spotted early on by the nursing staff.
After bad experiences with another residential place, the staff being so watchful and caring here was a big relief to me. Mum enjoyed the day trips out, you couldn’t stop her from putting her name down for an adventure, even though they wore her out.
I can not thank them all enough for their care, concern and love they gave.

My father spent the last few weeks of his life at Overslade House. At the hospital we'd been given a poor outlook and realised that there were only days left for Dad, and were very apprehensive when it was suggested that we look at a Care Home for him to see his last days out, knowing that his own home
would have been his preferred option, but there was no time to arrange that. But on first stepping into Overslade House to see where we might have to send him, we felt an instant relief, and knew by the welcome, the smiles from the staff, the smiles from the guests, the look and the overall feel of the place, that getting Dad a room there was the best thing for Dad and us his family.
And we weren't disappointed. Dad's last days were as comfortable for him as it was for us. And we couldn't have wished for anything more.
Thank you to everyone at Overslade House, including all the other guests in Dad's unit, for making that so.

I was impressed by the genuine kindness of all staff, both to myself and to my partner. If I have any criticism it would be regarding the frequency of changing bed linen especially for someone confined to bed when there are food spills etc. However, this was far outweighed by the overall caring environment.

My mother has been here since May 2016, the care and love for my mother has been exemplary. Although we live far away and there are many care homes between here and my home, I wouldn't even consider them as an alternative such has been my piece of mind= that my mother is being looked after well.

My husband came to Barchester Overslade House Care Home for 6 weeks continuing healthcare assessment. He has only been here for one week and I am very impressed with how well they have got to know him in such a short space of time. I cannot praise the whole team enough for the excellent care being given
and their approachability, kindness, friendship, compassion and empathy. I feel really welcome when I visit and I am certain that my husband is settling well and is in a very safe and stable environment and treated with dignity. Well done Barchester Overslade House Care Home, you are all awesome!

My Mother was in Overslade Care Home from May 2017 until December 2017 when she passed away peacefully in the care of the wonderful staff at Overslade. As a nurse, I had many fears about placing my mother (also an ex-nurse) in a care home, but it was clear that she needed full nursing care.
It was
very reassuring to observe the care that the staff gave, any queries I had were answered immediately and cheerfully. Sometimes when I arrived to visit, there were staff caring for Mum and I could overhear them talking to her so kindly. She was always clean, a jug of water always in reach, a call bell at her side. I know that Mum would have told me in no uncertain terms if the staff weren't caring, but she always smiled and said they were lovely. I visited several times a week and I only ever observed kindliness. Thank you!

The care my brother in law receives from the Barchester Overslade House Care Home is good I cannot fault them. He is kept clean and always looks nice but they don't only care for him but they care for the families too. We feel like part of a family when we go to visit, nothing is too much trouble and
we leave there with an easy mind. They all care about him so much and I think so much of all the staff. I would recommend Barchester Overslade House Care Home to anybody.

My father was admitted during May 2017. The care my father receives was the best he could have ever had. His quality of life was so improved. All of the staff became not only his best friends, but also friends to all of the family. Overslade is a happy home, providing function days for residents and
their family.
I have seen other care homes within my location, Overslade, in my opinion, is the best in the area. Now my father has sadly passed away, the family will miss visiting, it was such a nice home.

The home must be one of the best. My husband was losing blood in his catheter and went into the hospital for tests. The carer from the home who went with my husband could not have been better. He is now back at the home. His room overlooks a lovely garden with flowers and trees. The family could not

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.922)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.922) out of 10 for Barchester Overslade House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.922 for Barchester Overslade House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (392 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 424 Ratings = 4.922

  • b) 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 Overslade House Care Home is based on 36 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 90 registered maximum number of service users is 18, which has been reached with 36 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
