Reassuring to see the care he is receiving is respectful and professional and that you are keeping him safe. Thank you.

Review from Sandra H (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 September 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
My father appears to be very content in Balmoral - if asked and capable, I am sure that he would confirm this. He is clean, tidy, fed and watered. As he is not particularly social, the environment suits him well.
My concerns are that the fees are quite high and his income just about covers them. The
longer he lives, the more they will increase and his income will fall behind. I haven't found Social Services to be of any help and systems are incredibly difficult to understand. It would have been useful to me if FSHC had on-hand advice - they obviously deal with a number of these organizations and should be able to make the initial period of time an easier process.
I believe that the staff carry out duties with compassion, care and interest in their patients. I think the organization as a whole are perhaps less so. I understand that this is a business and must function accordingly but reacting to individual needs etc should be paramount.

The care home is clean and does not have an aroma of old peoples homes as some do. My mother's room is very small but manageable, but the furnishings are a little tired and could do with repairs or replacing.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Although my father is bed ridden and requires 24hr nursing care and has been like this for nearly 3 years, I can not comment on some of the questions below but to give just a satisfactory answer. Although I am very happy that my father is looked after well and the staff are doing a good job and are
always helpful.
The building itself is now becoming "tired" and requires attention.

On the whole were very pleased with mums care, but think her hands should be washed/soaked in water as her nails are filthy. Also feel the room needs painting. The staff are always friendly and answer any questions we ask. Mum seems happy most of the time which puts us at ease.

The staff have been so caring and considerate towards my mum even tough she is suffering from dementia and has had quite a few challenging episodes. They have taken into consideration both her needs and her relatives.
She is now in the latter stages of her life and I could not wish for better care
from both the nursing and care staff.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My husband has been in three care homes recently and this one has proved to be the better. First and foremost are the staff, cannot fault them at all, they are a credit to your company. I cannot praise them enough. If my husband has to permanently reside in a care home I wouldn't hesitate to use Balmoral
Care Home. Just two things that could be improved on;
1. The size of the rooms for someone with reduced mobility, it is very difficult for them to manoeuvre.
2. The food. I stayed with my husband for Xmas lunch. It was dreadful, some is Ok but could be improved on.

Mum has been in Balmoral just over a year. I visit regularly and have been made to feel very welcome by all the staff that I come into contact with on Windsor. They do an amazing job, sometimes under great pressure due to not enough staff. My mum has dementia and after no longer being able to care for
her at home she went to live at Balmoral. The staff keep me up to date on how mum is and will contact me directly to update me on anything that is urgent. I class the staff on Windsor as heroes, as without their help, I dread to think where we would be.

Very caring helpful staff. My mum has been in the home since February 2016 and has settled in well. In March my mum was unwell and had to visit hospital. Staff organised an ambulance to transport my mum and I to the appointment. Recently, my mum's clothes have not been washed according to care labels
and some have shrunk. Mum is always dressed and clean when we visit. Overall very pleased with the care mum is receiving.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.350)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.350) 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 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 4.703 for Balmoral Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (91 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 128 Ratings = 4.703
  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 4.647 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Balmoral 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 85 registered maximum number of service users is 17. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 17 = 0.647
  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.

If yes, this is good.”
