Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been delighted with the level of care for Mum since she came to Cubbington Mill in April. Also, the cleanliness and general appearance of the home is lovely, althogh the recent refurbishment was somewhat protracted and the overall feeling is a little less homely and more corporate - not really
conducive to feeling comfortable.


Overall the staff are exemplary. Thank you.

Treated with respect and courtesy at all times. The nurses were professional at all times, rest of staff were always friendly and helpful at all times.
Professional visitors, with connections to the medical side, were equally impressed.

You have been great. You took Mum in for two weeks convalescence on very short notice. Despite the fact she didn't want to come she stayed and has loved the spoiling and the company.
Many thanks.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother had been in a care home in Essex for 8 years but when my father died, she moved to Barchester Cubbington Mill Care Home to be closer to the family. There was no comparison to the previous care home. There is a wonderful feeling about Barchester Cubbington Mill Care Home, from the approach
through the beautiful gardens to the warm welcome and the clean bright interior.


The staff are friendly and professional and could not have done more in their caring treatment of my mother, especially as her health deteriorated and she needed more attention.


My family cannot thank everyone enough for giving my mother a very happy home.

Mum was a resident at Cubbington Mill for two and half years and was well cared for by all the wonderful staff. It's a lovely clean home with fantastic gardens too.
Mum was happy there and I would recommend it to any family.

My mother-in-law arrived at Cubbington Mill requiring palliative care. She spent 3 weeks here and the staff have been very helpful and kind. There is a relaxed and happy atmosphere. Nothing has been too much trouble and we are very grateful for the care shown at the end of her life.

Review from Nick M (Son of Resident) published on 31 August 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Cubbington Mill provided palliative care for my mother during the last three weeks of her life after she left the hospice. She had felt very secure and had blossomed at the hospice and faced leaving for a nursing home with trepidation. The staff at Cubbington Mill were very caring and efficient, dealing
swiftly with any hiccoughs on her day of admission and providing a calm and beautiful room for her.
I soon felt confident in the care she was receiving and I know she particularly enjoyed the food and ate everything almost until the end. The Cubbington Mill staff were particularly kind and caring right at the end and to me after she had died.

My grandma is 101 yrs and can be quite a difficult patient. The staff and manager assessed this very quickly and dealt with it perfectly. The care they offer is truly amazing. My children are very small and came to visit and the experience was not scary or intimidating as it can be for little ones.
Amazing staff, accommodation and management!

My auntie came to Cubbington Mill for a couple of weeks respite while family members were on holiday. She loved it and was fortunate to be able to stay on. I particularly remember coming to the open day when the staff dressed up and there was lots of very appropriate entertainment. I hadn't seen my
auntie laugh so much for years - she thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Nothing was too much trouble for the nurses/carers ever.

Excellent overall! 100%. Cannot put into words the most wonderful care my dear mum received at Cubbington Mill Care Home.
I will be writing personally to the Barchester group to let them know the quality of care all the residents receive, day and night.
Reply from Glynis Sheabsy, General Manager at Barchester Cubbington Mill Care Home

Most of our staff have been here for a long time. Rotation of staff in the home is essential so all staff know all residents, as this person is an insulin diabetic her food intake is monitored daily and the chef is aware of what she can or cannot eat to keep her safe.

I am very impressed with Cubbington Mill Care Home. It doesn't smell like a lot of care homes that I have visited. The staff seem very caring. The grounds are kept in a beautiful condition and the flowers are lovely for the residents to see. A hard job well done. The only criticism I have is that the
food could be a bit more appetising and if more could be done to cater for diabetic residents, it would be appreciated.

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.
