Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has needed to be admitted several times over the last few months for emergency respite.
Mum has always been welcomed back with open arms and the staff team has gone above and beyond to care for her.
Mum decided she wanted soup for breakfast which was actioned immediately and Mum loved it.
The
care staff are amazing and include my mum in all the activities the home has to offer.
First and foremost, my mum is in a safe environment and she is very well looked after and it is the only place she would return to if there is another emergency.
A big thank you to everyone, you are all fabulous.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot recommend enough the carers and people who run activities at Balmoral Care Home, the nursing staff, activities, managers and admin staff.
Mum had a wonderful ten months of her life filled with laughter and love. Nothing seemed to be any trouble for them. Not only Mum but myself and other visitors
were treated as family at the home.
It took the worry and work out of caring for Mum so I could have fun and entertain my mum - worth the money.
My only complaint is the lack of response from admin regarding finance by email.

The staff are very friendly, caring and professional; they treat all residents with dignity. There are always indoor activities as well as excursions, such as taking residents to the coast, including a fish and chip lunch. Our aunty didn't want to go into a care facility, but she loves it. This care
home facility comes highly recommended.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mum likes it at Balmoral Care Home but we feel the food choices are very limited. The staff are always friendly and makes Mum feel better with banter and lighthearted humour. My issues are my mum's teeth have not been brushed every day and also the lack of dentist visits. I get phone calls about
any issues regarding Mum's welfare which is excellent. The home is very clean and doesn't smell at all. Mum's room is small and in need of decorating to make it homely. Lunchtime food choice is soup and sandwiches, 6 days a week is boring and repetitive.
Reply from Hannah Burke, Marketing Executive at Balmoral Care Home

Thank you, Andrew, for your feedback. All of our team are committed to providing the best possible care experience and we are pleased to hear your kind comments about the team at Balmoral Care Home. We are sorry to hear that your mum is not happy with her meals. Our menus are created with feedback from residents and reflect their likes and dislikes. Residents have a food passport to capture any particular requirements or wish in relation to food or the serving of meals. If our menu features something that is not to their liking, residents are able to request an alternative meal or order something from our Chef’s special menu that day. We can also give reassurance that all of our residents receive regular hygiene visits from the dentist. We kindly ask that you reach out to the home if you would like to discuss your concerns further. Thank you.

Good care for our mum. The room is okay, don't agree that we have to pay the top-up fee. Mum has paid into the system all her life and is still paying. Balmoral is a nice care home. Mum was in a previous care home (which should be closed down). We have peace of mind now she is here, Activity staff are
great and super friendly.

Balmoral is a good care home with experienced staff.
The atmosphere of the home is serene and devoid of noise or distractions.
The home is very neat, and the staff are very friendly and warm.
I always feel like visiting again anytime I visit the home.
The service users are always neat and look
bright, which is an indication of good care by the home.
I salute the management of the home for the good job and for putting smiles on the faces of the resident.
I can recommend the home to anyone that wants their parents to enjoy good quality care.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.260)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.260) out of 10 for Balmoral Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 10 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 4.672 for Balmoral Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (79 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 116 Ratings = 4.672
  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 4.588 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Balmoral Care Home is based on 10 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 85 registered maximum number of service users is 17. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 17 = 0.588
  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.
