Review from Helen H (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 July 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum really enjoys staying at Cubbington Mill for short breaks or respite. The care she receives is second to none. The staff are incredibly kind, caring and professional. They go the extra mile to help mum feel at home. The chef created a special menu for her, the facilities are fabulous and the planned
activities are wonderful. It is really reassuring to know that she is so well cared for. The residents receive the best care and attention whatever their healthcare needs. When the time comes for mum to leave home, this is where she wants to be. In the meantime, thank you for all that you do.

Our Mum was brought to the care home because she could no longer manager at her own home. Unfortunately, she went downhill fast due to serious medical conditions. that we were not aware of at the time. We found everyone who looked after Mum caring and treated Mum with dignity.

Very nice staff, food is very good and I was treated with dignity.


Lovely gardens but wasted as when there is good weather, many residents smoke so non-smokers cannot use it.

Mum and Dad both benefitted greatly from two weeks of respite care in the home. They particularly enjoyed the option of a double room and were delighted by the quality and variety of meals served to them throughout their stay. Thank you for giving them the opportunity to enjoy a welcome 'holiday' -
hopefully they will be able to visit again in the future.

Review from M H (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 February 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum, aged 91 years, spent 7 weeks in hospital following a fall at home and a fractured hip. We expected her health to continue to deteriorate but on transfer to Cubbington Mill Mum's health stabilised and she regained weight. As a result, Mum could access and participate in a range of activities and
social events. Mum's end-of-life care was very good; her last weeks were peaceful and comfortable. The nursing staff were sensitive to Mum's needs and liaised closely with the GP to ensure that Mum was receiving the best care and treatment to meet all her needs.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.797)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.797) out of 10 for Barchester Cubbington Mill Care 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.797 for Barchester Cubbington Mill Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (229 Excellents x 5) + (56 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 286 Ratings = 4.797
  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 Barchester Cubbington Mill Care Home is based on 24 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 52 registered maximum number of service users is 10.4, which has been reached with 24 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.
