I am very pleased with the care which my mother is receiving at Bankwood. Staff ar caring, supportive and very patient. They are well aware of and respond appropriately to my mother's individual and sometimes quite quirky needs. Nursing staff are quick to call in medical professionals when needed and
always phone to update me on any medical problems and appointments. I am impressed by how not just nursing staff and carers, but also kitchen staff, laundry staff and cleaners make an effort to form close relationships with the residents. Everyone is quick to respond to any queries I have.

The team at Bankwood have given both my Mum-in-Law and my family a huge amount of support and taken great care of her at a very difficult time. We are deeply appreciative of their care.

I am happy with the location and the presentation of the home and the attitude of the management and personnel employed. The quality and presentation of the food is of a high standard. The furnishings are well maintained. I appreciated that at certain times of the day (meals etc) it is difficult to
respond to urgent patients needs (toilet needs) which can frustrate those in need. The relationships between patient (resident) and personnel is good.

After my dad had a fall in December he was no longer able to look after himself. So I had to find a care home for him. I visited several homes before Bankwood and wasn't very impressed. When I viewed Bankwood I was really impressed with the standards of care and with the friendliness of the staff. I
couldn't wish for a better place for him to be. Every time I visit I am greeted like an old friend, which makes my visits much more pleasant. I know that he is in the best possible place.

When mother came into this home after a bad stroke she was in a very distressed state. Due to the work and patience of the staff she is now more settled and calmer. Although there is no communication she is always spoken to in a respectful way and treated with dignity.

Our father was at Bankwood for 4 years until he passed away this month. He really enjoyed his final years there and was well cared for. The staff are fantastic, especially the manager who runs the facility impeccably. She has full control over what is going on and the management of the staff. She also
is extremely caring for the residents (as are all the staff) and put their needs as her top priority. The home is set in a beautiful location and our father spent as much time as possible enjoying the view from the deck.

My mother was only at Bankwood Care Home for a short while (passed away 7th March 2016) but her stay was very comfortable. She was got up every day where possible. Always dressed nicely and had her hair done (important to mum). When she became poorly, the staff were very good to her and myself. Also
on the day of her passing again very kind and supportive to myself and family. They run a very good home for the people there. Thank you.

A very nice place, the staff are all very pleasant and helpful. Could benefit from a larger area in which to park, the security system is good. I feel my sister struggled to settle in at first but I think she is gradually coming to terms with everything.

I am very happy with the care and consideration given to my mother. One example being, a visitor of the resident in the next room to mum's made a point of telling me she had overheard (on a previous visit) a carer in with my mum and how impressed she was with the kindness and patience she was shown.
It was lovely to hear as you never know what happens when your're not there.

Having started this respite break in one care home, where I felt very isolated to ending up in Bankwood where I feel well looked after, and get on with the staff. There is a choice of activities, I choose whether to attend or night. I have been out to the local pub as well.

Excellent experience from being shown around the home to reserving a bed, care and compassion from the manager after being messed around by the hospital cancelling the bed in error. My mum arrived at the home by ambulance. Everyone was friendly helpful, kind, compassionate and caring it made a stressful
day more bearable. The care and compassion was so apparent from the first day and it was so great to know that my mum is well cared for and has settled very quickly. Staff are attentive and there is genuine concern. Each person has their individual meeds met. This is a real home and the people are fantastic thank you. I've could not have chosen a better home for mum as this is the best one with lovely friendly competent people.

One in a million!! Never before have I witnessed care to such high standards, and residents treated with such dignity and devotion. Bankwood offers unrivaled facilities in a beautiful setting, complimented with friendly, helpful, well trained, and devoted staff, who stop at nothing to ensure the comfort
and happiness of their residents. It really does bring a lump to my throat to see my Mother looked after so well.

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.
