Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father suffered from dementia for over four years and for the last year and a bit of his life was cared for by the staff at Bowerfield House. He was always well looked after, cared for and given every opportunity to participate as to any activity in the nursing home. He was treated with dignity at
all times with good food provided.

Pleased with mum's care.
All staff are considerate and management is approachable and helpful.
Some agency staff and nurses are not so good but to be fair, in my experience, that's not unusual.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at Bowerfield; managers, nurses, carers, catering staff and admin staff were always professional and supportive to me and my father during my mums 8 year stay at the home. My mother's behaviour could be challenging and the staff always treated her with dignity and respect and I would say,
love. To the very end, they were kind to my mum and my father with Alzheimer's. Each played their part until her death 3 weeks ago.

Review from Denise (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 July 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My dad has been cared for at Bowerfield for 18 months. Everyone has been warm and friendly, generating a very positive and peaceful atmosphere. The genuine individualised care they give is appreciated. The staff have been aware of dad's particular needs in all aspects, including his “walking around”
all night.
The food is prepared on the premises and personal dietary requirements are taken into account.
Staff training needs are well supported. Specialist dementia knowledge is vital to care for dad with dignity and respect.
The establishment of the permanent team now in place has been so successful as dad responds to regular known faces, but not to strangers so well.
I have always been very involved in dad's care plan development and feel have been an integral part in continuing to support dad along his dementia journey. I am always contacted with any health concerns immediately.
Regular visits to dad give us as a real understanding of the level support given by all staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother moved here having had a failed placement and been asked to move because of her complex needs. Since being at Bowerfield, all her needs have been assessed and a care plan put in place to address them. The staff treat her with respect and compassion empowering her to be her own person and make
as many decisions for herself as she is able to. Her daily routine has been enhanced and she enjoys time with her carers.

Bowerfield is improving. The manager is working very hard to bring it back to the standard it used to be. The laundry room is excellent now. Always clean clothes ready to dress residents every day.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Bowerfield House Nursing Home has been through many ups and downs over the last 12 months. During the past week and since the departure of the deputy manager, the home has been a hive of industry with the home being thoroughly cleaned and the laundry almost back to normal. The manager of two homes is
clearly determined to improve conditions and there is evidence to this effect.

Review from J Reta H (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 September 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
The home has deteriorated considerably within the last few months. It has been without a permanent manager for some considerable time (a new one is now in place) but each temporary peripatetic manager seems to have to leave her mark in some way ie. a considerable amount of money must have been spent
in re-decorating the main corridors within a short space of time, whereas the cleanliness of the home ie. the carpet in the main lounge needs cleaning/replacing and in my relatives room is unclean and basic needs are not being met.


Although there are many new carers they have been using agency nurses and my relative will not take her medication from an "unknown face" and consequently, I am finding tablets on the floor of her room and in her handbag. All of which have been reported to the nursing staff. The laundry service is appalling.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.266)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.266) out of 10 for Bowerfield House Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 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 4.466 for Bowerfield House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (74 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (19 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 118 Ratings = 4.466
  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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bowerfield House Nursing Home is based on 8 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 = 3.8
    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 26 registered maximum number of service users is 5.2, which has been reached with 8 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.
