My husband is a resident there. He likes it there. Only thing he likes for activities is someone coming to talk about trains and its value for money for what has to pay could do with reception regularly when they leave a new one sitting on as the phone not answered and some more carers as well for when
nurse is busy with meds. And some more for the residents when moved two people for others and sit up as there is only two carers. My husband said good to be able to eat again.

From what we have experienced.
1) Not enough variation of food and not enough provided as well as overall quality of food.
2) Overall value/price charged and value for money vastly over priced for service provided.
3) Staff are helpful and caring but very difficult to locate management when needed
4)
Unpleasant smells when entering both care home and rooms

Reply from Sophie Jackson, Operations Head at Lower Bowshaw View

Thank you for your review. We are sorry you feel there is not enough variation on the menu, our menu was refreshed this month so hope you find there is more variation now. Regarding the unpleasant smell- we have had the regulatory body and local authority whom praised us on our cleanliness and smell recently , so apologies if you did smell anything unpleasant I assure you this was a one off. Please feel free to contact me on sophiejackson@totalwest.co.uk to address any further concerns.

A very friendly, caring team that could do with a few more care staff to ease pressure on hard-working staff.
Entertainment is excellent, although my uncle has decided he likes to watch sports TV and listen to the radio.

Mum has been living at Lower Bowshaw View for nearly 2 years and is definitely happy here. She moved in after Dad passed away and was so depressed. With the lovely care from all the staff, Mum has improved mentally. All the staff are so friendly and helpful and make you feel that you are all one big
happy family. Mum's room is lovely and clean, and she loves the variety of food. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lower Bowshaw View. Thank you.

We have always been impressed with the level of care and attitude towards my sister-in-law who can be difficult. We have had one or two problems but these have been dealt with very professionally.
Communication could be better. Relatives meetings used to be held but not lately.
It is sometimes difficult
to get through by phone.
The home could do with a bit of sprucing up. Decorating and gardening.
However, the important things are care and consideration. These are carried through well. A very friendly atmosphere.

During the last few months, the care home has made soon definite much-needed improvements. Overall my mum is pretty good and is looked after well. The food must have been improved as my mum seems to be eating more these days and is happier with the menu more than of late. I think the majority of the
staff are amazing and treat the residents properly. There will always be a few issues that can be annoying but they try to do their best to resolve if they can. Overall it's good as long as it stays that way. The cleanliness is also greatly improved as the toilets were always disgusting many times taking in handwash cause there wasn't any. Overall much better for everyone who lives there.

Lower Bowshaw View is an excellent care home In every department. The new management have improved their communications and are now in the excellent range. We visit on a regular basis and are always greeted with courtesy and escorted to our destination. When we ask about the resident we are given a
full explanation about her health and well-being. We are always offered a drink of coffee or tea and nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff from the cleaners to the management.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.332)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.332) out of 10 for Lower Bowshaw View is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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 4.432 for Lower Bowshaw View is calculated as follows: ( (74 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 118 Ratings = 4.432

  • 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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Lower Bowshaw View is based on 9 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 = 3.9

    • 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 9 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
