Mum was transferred to Bankwood after a lengthy stay in hospital and her life has changed considerably. It has been a difficult adjustment for her, but the staff have been amazing. They are kind and helpful and have taken time to get to know mum. Mum is still settling in and the wonderful views from
the conservatory have helped her do this. The staff at Bankwood have also made the family feel very welcome when visiting. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have nothing but the highest praise for Bankwood where my Dad is currently a resident and has been for the last couple of years. My Grandma was also a resident, over a decade ago and the fact that many of the staff including, the manager are still the same today, I think speaks for itself. The facilities
(rooms, communal areas and meals) are excellent and the highest regard is given to making it as homely as possible and responding to the residents individual preferences. It is always immaculately clean and tidy but also decorated (with creative activities done by the residents) for festivals and celebrations. The many visits and visitors also keep residents engagement and well-being high at all times. All of the staff are amazing- more like a family and they treat residents (and their families) with dignity, warmth and care at all times-the lovely relationships are plain to see during every visit. Bankwood have given me so much care and support over the years for which I am truly grateful.

Lovely, helpful management and staff.
Try their best to see that the residents are happy and well cared for. Residents can mix easily and make lots of new friends and also get involved in activities together and go on outings from time to time.
Would fully recommend it for peace of mind if required
for your relatives.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Bankwood Care Home is, as far as my husband is concerned, a home from home into which he has settled very well indeed. He loves it!
As far as we are both concerned, the care is exemplary - kind, considerate, thoughtful and efficient. Residents' social well-being is very much considered and many activities
are offered, if required. Singers, pianists, other musicians provide regular entertainment. Festivals, such as Divali, Christmas, New Year, Burns Night, Chinese New Year and the like. are celebrated, public rooms being decorated accordingly.
There is a hairdressing salon, a quiet lounge, a conservatory and a large lounge, as well as an attractive dining room. Currently, there is much going on with refurbishing the interior public and private spaces, including the renovation of a Victorian room, previously partitioned off, now restored and retaining many of the original features, which will provide additional lounge space. The views from Bankwood are spectacular!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The management and staff of Bankwood Care Home are always so helpful to us. We recently organised a surprise birthday party for our stepmum and one member of staff, in particular, and the staff put it all together for us, going out to buy all the food and cake, through to setting up the room with balloons.
Our stepmum was very happy and emotional at the party, it made her day and thanks, almost entirely, to the staff at Bankwood who made this possible.

My mum has been a resident at Bankwood Care Home since July 2022 after having a stroke. The care from all the staff is of the highest standard. They all work together, as a team, turning their hands to whatever they see needs attention at the time. All the residents look happy, cared for and it's like
one big happy family. My mum is very happy here and she always tells how she is treated with care, respect and dignity at all times by all the staff. One of the most difficult tasks you will ever have to face is choosing a care home for your loved one.

Bankwood Care Home is an excellent care home with a real family atmosphere. The staff are caring and work well as a team. Residents are treated with respect and dignity. There is a varying programme of social activities and occasional outings that residents can become involved in according to their
wishes. As a visitor, I always feel welcome.

My mother has been in Bankwood Care Home, Duffield for the last two years and from day one, the care and attention offered by the Duffield team to my mother has been exceptional. From the care home manager, the nursing team, carers, kitchen staff, admin, laundry staff, the hairdresser, exceptional.
Equally
important is the manner that the care is given, it is relational, personable and professional.
Bankwood provides an excellent facility not only for the residents but for their family members to.

Fantastic staff go above and beyond with their residents. They have taken great care of my mum, making sure she is well looked after and cared for. Always keep you informed if anything happening at the home or activities that are taking place. The staff are all friendly and nothing is too much trouble.
I totally trust the welfare of my mum with their great staff and are fantastic with dementia and Alzheimer's patients. I would like to thank them for all their care in making me
Feel confident that my mum is looked after and even thriving in her environment.

My experience with HC-One, Bankwood Care Home, could not be better. The manager and staff are always polite and helpful. I have found them so friendly and thoughtful. Mum's health is monitored daily. She can have her hair cut, feet attended to by the chiropodist, nurse and doctor. The most important
person, that is my mother, always says everyone is so kind, even when she is not at her best in the morning. Mum says the food is good and she enjoys all the entertainment in the home, plus the visit in the home's bus to garden centres are most enjoyable. Mum says this is my home, I live here. If anyone asked her, she would tell you she is happy. I must admit, I am very happy with all the treatment Mum receives and have already recommended Bankwood to my friends.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.831)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.831) out of 10 for Bankwood 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.831 for Bankwood Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (283 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 332 Ratings = 4.831
  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 Bankwood Care Home is based on 27 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 27 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.
