Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My aunt is living on Brook House at Birch Court Care Home. They do an amazing job. My aunt is well cared for, they show her kindness and they treat her like she is one of their own family. The staff always have smiles on their faces even though it's such a difficult time during Covid. The house manager
is wonderful always happy, smiling and polite and always very helpful. He deals with queries or worries very efficiently and he has put my mind at rest in the past. I know my aunt must be missing her family but shes in the best place. I would recommend Birch Court to anyone looking for a care home.

I am very pleased with the loving care my mother has received in Birch Court Care Home. The staff has gone above and beyond to make Mum's stay as comfortable as possible. I can not thank them enough as we are all going through these bad times at the moment. It is a comfort to myself knowing Mum is being
taken care of. Thank you.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Dad moved in approximately 4 weeks ago and over this time has started to settle in well. He is blind and lacks capacity and so needs constant care. The social interaction with care staff is critical for what is left of his quality of life and I am delighted with how he is enjoying his chats. The home
is clean and the food is very good and this is a huge relief for us after caring for him at home for two years.

I cannot recommend Birch Court nursing home more highly, especially all the staff in Moss House who took care of my father in his final weeks. Staff are caring, compassionate and take the time to get to know the residents. My father was cared for with dignity and respect. I cannot thank them enough.
Truly wonderful and caring people.

I was very concerned about my husband going into a care home, but after the first weeks, I realised this is the best place for him to be. The staff are wonderful, caring and friendly and also happy to help with any concerns. Birch Court gives me peace of mind knowing that my husband is well cared for
and well-fed (he loves his food).

Review from Sara (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 December 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Due to a rapid deterioration in my dad's illness, we required a week's respite whilst we made appropriate arrangements at home at short notice. A very difficult time for us as it was not what he or we wanted. All the staff were kind, caring and compassionate. My dad was cared for with dignity and kindness.
The staff tried hard to encourage him to eat and drink and offered a range of anything they could provide to support this. They also stored his preferred drinks and ice lollies for us in the fridge/freezer.
The environment was clean and tidy and the food I did see looked appetising with a good choice. The nursing care was excellent. As a family, we ask a lot of questions and asked the nurses to sort out some issues with the GP. Each request was dealt with in a supportive and timely manner. Although it may seem a small thing, the lovely comments a nurse made that she could see how well my mum had been caring for my dad really touched us and certainly will stay with Mum. Thank you.

Care is good. My Mum's physical needs are met and she is starting to settle. I would like to see more activities for the residents.

The staff are all friendly and helpful. My only criticism is the fact that his clothes seem to be going missing and he is wearing other peoples clothes.
Reply from Clare Sheehan, TBC at Florence Mill Care Home

Thank you for your kind comments about our team here at Birch Court. We have some fantastic colleagues and I am pleased to hear that you have found them to be polite and helpful. I am, however, sorry to hear about your concerns around our laundry provision, our laundry team work hard to provide a high quality service and have a process in place to minimise issues of this sort, we would welcome the opportunity to meet with you to discuss this further.

After visiting several care homes for dementia nursing requirements the family chose Birch Court.
We are extremely satisfied with our choice that our wife/mother is being really well looked after. This staff's care and dignity they provide is excellent. All aspects of accommodation, activities and
food for specific requirements are well catered for. We would not hesitate in recommending Birch Court.

All the staff and nurses at the home gave my dying father exemplary nursing care with stellar kindness and compassion. You touched our hearts and comforted our spirits during the darkest moment of our lives. You made sure my father was comfortable. You treated him with respect. You let him die with

Current Review Score: 8.4 (8.367)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.4 (8.367) out of 10 for Florence Mill Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.0 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 11 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 4.000 for Florence Mill Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (55 Excellents x 5) + (52 Goods x 4) + (20 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (9 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 140 Ratings = 4
  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 4.367 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Florence Mill Care Home is based on 11 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 150 registered maximum number of service users is 30. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 30 = 0.367
  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.

Job Title: Nursing Home Manager Joined: 2022

Commenced as Nursing Home Manager of Florence Mill on March 25.

Glady

Glady Gervacio-Ardivilla

Job Title: Nursing Home Manager

I am a dedicated and compassionate Registered Nurse with over 15 years of diverse clinical experience in both the Philippines and the UK. My nursing career began in 2009 as a Nurse in the Philippines, where I developed strong foundations in outpatient care, health education, and preventive medicine. I also served as a Nurse in a corporate occupational health setting before relocating to the UK in 2019.


Since moving to the UK, I have steadily progressed in the adult social care sector – working as a Registered Nurse, Unit Manager, Clinical Lead, and most recently stepping into the role of Home Manager at Florence Mill Care Home in March 2025. In these roles, I have gained extensive experience in care planning, team leadership, and quality improvement. My leadership journey reflects a strong commitment to person-centred care, staff development, and operational excellence. I am passionate about providing high-quality, person-centred care and creating a supportive environment for both residents and staff.
