My mother has only been in Burrswood for four weeks. The staff are friendly and respectful. As soon as my mum arrived the home arranged a district nurse to see her we are always kept uptodate with my mums progress. As a family we feel we can approach the staff and discuss mums needs and we feel this
is taken notice of.

It is so comforting that my sister is now in this very special place. Previous carehomes were not up to any reasonable standard. So much so that I had come to think that their standard of care was the norm. Burrswood has definitely changed my opinion. Congratulations to all involved.

Reply from Jennifer Masbate, Home Manager at Burrswood Care Home

It really warm our hearts to read your compliment and how you think about the home and the team. We will continue to provide the best quality of care not only to your sister, but to all the residents we look after.

Mum was admitted on respite in an emergency. The staff were extremely caring and sensitive and were a great comfort to Mum and myself at this difficult time. Mum has since become a permanent resident and has settled in quickly. Staff are in contact daily and keep me up to date. The home manager and
the Lowry team staff are amazing and I can't thank them enough.

Reply from Jennifer Masbate, Home Manager at Burrswood Care Home

Thank you for your kind words Andrea. We will share this complimentary message to the rest of the team. It has been a pleasure looking after your mum, and it has been always our goal to provide support not only to the residents who live with us, but to their loved ones too.

We cannot fault the care shown by the staff at Burrswood. My husband was in Kay Unit and was suffering from mixed dementia. The staff were lovely and caring. There was a friendly atmosphere on the unit and the staff couldn't be more helpful.
My husband enjoyed the food very much and care was always
taken to make sure the residents had plenty of drinks.
The rooms and common areas were cleaned regularly. His clothes were always washed, ironed and returned quickly.
We could visit whenever we wished and offered tea or coffee or we could use the kitchen.
During his final days the nursing care was excellent and the staff couldn't do enough for him and for us.
It was so nice that members of staff attended his funeral.
I would recommend Burswood to anyone needing residential for care for a loved one.

The care given to my mum by the team on the Crompton unit is exceptional. My mum has advanced mixed dementia and quickly went from living at home with my dad to hospital and then Crompton. We couldn't have asked for a nicer team and with the added support from management who embraced our family, especially
my dad who challenged everything at the beginning because, after fifty-five years marriage, he knows my mum best. We now feel part of the Crompton team and although hard to accept we can't care for Mum at home, we couldn't ask for a better place than Burrswood Care Home.

Reply from Andrew Polverino, Home Manager at Burrswood Care Home

Thank you for your very kind words. It is a real pleasure to care for your mum and we are thrilled you feel part of the Burrswood family. We enjoy seeing Dad, every day, who is also part of our home. I will pass the feedback on to the team.

Burswood Care Home made the last three difficult months for my mother the best we could have hoped for. All the staff were helpful, caring and empathetic. A big shout out to seeing them at Mum's funeral yesterday, it was a very touching tribute from them. A special mention to a member of staff, in particular,
who was always on hand to sort potential issues, keep doing what you were born to do! Caring for the most vulnerable who need dignity in their final years.

Reply from Andrew Polverino, Registered Manager at Burrswood Care Home

My wife entered Burrswood Care Home with terminal lung cancer and her doctor had said that she may last hours or days. She was placed in a well-appointed room in a very comfortable bed with an air mattress. My daughter, son and I were told from the start that we could visit her 24/7. It was immediately
apparent that the staff actually cared deeply for her well-being; it was not just a job! Her comfort and pain relief were monitored hourly and she was regularly re-positioned to add to her comfort. When we visited, we were given refreshments and made welcome. We were encouraged to ask questions which they answered. My daughter stayed every night and on the sixth night, all three of us stayed since the end appeared near and she did leave this life that night. We could not fault the staff in any way. They cared for her as if she were family, with love and close attention. At the end, they were equally caring for our family. I cannot praise the staff too highly. They were superb.

Reply from Andrew Polverino, Registered Manager at Burrswood Care Home

Dear family, thank you so much for your kind words about the care of your wife. It was a pleasure to have cared for your wife and supported you and your family through a difficult and sad time. We are deeply proud of my team at Burrswood who go above and beyond and to have this reflected to you as a family really means a lot. We offer our deepest condolences and should you require anything, please don't hesitate to contact us.

The staff and management always put the residents' care and needs as a priority. The staff know and acknowledges the individualism of each resident meeting their needs and requirements as necessary. Residents' family, friends and visitors are always made to feel welcome and are kept informed.

Nice staff who are very friendly and Mum seems to like them and they like her. Some staff have been there for years so this is comforting. She is clean (apart from her nails sometimes). I am happy for her to be there and would recommend it to other people.

My father has been in Burrswood Care Home for over twelve months and seems quite settled now although it was difficult in the early days. He is on Kay unit which specialises in dementia care - he has good days and less good days with his condition but on the less good days, the staff are always patient
and kind with him.
The care home itself has had a very difficult twelve months or so which has played out in the public domain. They are very much coming out of the other side of these issues with the recent CQC audit, a reflection of the hard work and effort that has gone into turning the home round. Well done all.
My only challenge back is on the cost which increased by over 10% this year although, to be fair to the local team, they can't influence this as it is a head office decision. However, with a higher cost comes higher expectations and so they need to keep improving and delivering.

Reply from Andrew Polverino, Registered Manager at Burrswood Care Home

Thank you for your kind words. Our team have had a rollercoaster few months but the hard work and dedication of our amazing team have paid off. We are really proud of the home we have created and it's a real pleasure to care for Dad and our other residents.

My 104-year-old mother is now the oldest in the home. She has old age dementia. She has been in the home since February 2021. She has settled very well in the home and has been looked after by caring staff. The staff work hard and have a great deal of kindness and patience with the residents. The manager
and his team work hard and are extremely helpful. Should you ever have any questions or concerns they always go out of their way to help you.

My mother has been living at Burrswood Care Home (on Peel unit) for almost two years (after transferring from another home which could no longer meet her needs).
For us, it has been a very positive experience and we have been very happy with the care she has received.
Mum has advanced dementia and
has extremely complex needs. She has always been treated with great compassion and dignity! Due to her condition, Mum can be quite aggressive at times but the staff are always incredibly patient and caring with her.
I can honestly say that the staff go above and beyond in their care for my mum and I really feel that she is in safe hands.

My mother has been a resident for three and three quarter years on Kay Unit. She has dementia. The staff are angels, they really care and are so good with the residents, some of which are very difficult and not easy to look after. The time and patience they give the residents is wonderful and knowing
they work long hours for poor pay, I can only thank them and praise them.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.479)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.479) out of 10 for Burrswood Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 20 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 4.679 for Burrswood Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (167 Excellents x 5) + (61 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 234 Ratings = 4.679

  • 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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Burrswood Care Home is based on 20 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 125 registered maximum number of service users is 25. 20 Positive Reviews ÷ 25 = 0.8

  • 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.
