Bankwood care home is a warm and welcoming environment offering residential and nursing care. Set in the scenic Amber Valley in Derbyshire, the home offers stunning valley views which can be enjoyed from the landscaped garden and patio area.

I have found all the staff to be helpful and caring and to find the time to make me feel better when I get a little down. I cannot say much about the food as it is soft because of swallowing.

Our mother was a resident for 5 1/2 years before her death. The care she received was brilliant, she loved the other residents but most importantly she loved the staff and they loved her. You never want to see your parents in a ‘home’ but if we had the chance to do it again we would choose Bankwood,
our mum was very happy there.

Sadly my sister passed away at Bankwood on 25th September 2020. The staff were excellent caring for my sister, we could not have asked for more. We were treated with empathy and compassion and given every support which was so appreciated at such a difficult and sad time. Covid-19 has had such a detrimental
effect on visiting etc, yet the staff have kept us well informed and have made us feel confident and welcome despite the circumstances. Thank you Bankwood.

My mother in law was a resident, until very recently, for about 6 months. This was from just before the lockdown for Covid-19. I cannot praise the staff highly enough from the manager down. They have had to cope with some very difficult circumstances on top of their usual workload and have done a fantastic
job. The care my mother in law received was always respectful and caring and nothing was too much trouble. I would have no hesitation recommending Bankwood to anyone looking for nursing care.

We would like to thank all of the staff at Bankwood for the fantastic job you are doing to look after our mother. We feel very fortunate that she is in an excellent care home; being looked after so well. You care for her as you would a member of your own family, and this means a lot to us. It is a comfort
to be able to talk to her on video chats and see that she is well. Thank you for making this possible.
We know that this is an extremely difficult time for all of you and hope you are all able to stay well and safe.
Thank you for all that you do.

My cousin was taken to Bankwood Care Home because she was too ill to look after herself at home. She settled in well and joined in the activities and was looked after very well by all of the staff, which made her very comfortable during the short time she was there.

All the staff are kind, caring and very professional. They work tirelessly to improve the lives of residents. Staff have gone out of their way to ensure that Mum was as comfortable as possible. Mum sadly passed away recently. Whilst she was the end of life care all of the staff treated her with dignity
and couldn't do enough to support the family through a very difficult time. They are a credit to their profession

I have been a resident here since January 2000 and I am receiving palliative care. I occupy a pretty room overlooking the estate gardens, adequate furnishings, own pictures and ornaments encouraged. The staff are kind, caring and professional in their encouragement on difficult days. Excellent midday
meal provided, plenty of fresh vegetables and choice. We also have a hairdresser and manicurist on site. I consider myself to be offered accommodation here very fortunate.

From our first visit, the family felt that Mum was receiving the best possible care. Staff were compassionate, friendly, professional and never too busy to engage with Mum or the family. Staff felt like friends, even after a short period of time. As a family, we felt looked after too. Tea was always
available and visiting times were flexible to suit all our needs/wishes.

The home is very caring and all the residents are treated with respect and kindness. It is a "home from home" and every effort made to make the residents comfortable and wanted. I am relaxed in the knowledge that her care is second to none.

My dad spent the last three months of his life at Bankwood, following an extended stay at hospital. The manager and her team made sure, without exception, that he was comfortable and treated with respect and dignity during his stay there. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the home to anybody.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.813)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.813) out of 10 for Bankwood Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.813 for Bankwood Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (299 Excellents x 5) + (51 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 358 Ratings = 4.813

  • 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 Bankwood Care Home is based on 29 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 29 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.
