Review from Christine R (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 September 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am very impressed with the dementia unit. The staff are amazing, nothing is too much trouble. They sing, dance, chat, cuddle and give time to everybody. As I do not live locally, this is so reassuring for me. When you walk into the unit, there is a lovely atmosphere, I feel I could not ask for any
more for my mother in her twilight years.

Review from Fred G (Resident) published on 8 August 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been a resident of Springfield since 14 March 2017. My relatives chose this nursing home for me.
My wife passed away in February 2017 and I could not look after myself properly, I have had five strokes, four right sided and one left sided I walk with the aid of a "quad walking stick" and wear
a calliper on my right leg.
Since coming to Springfield I am walking about outside and inside within this lovely HOME, I am doing this and my exercises on a daily basis (except Sunday, when I'm taken out by relatives).
All the staff and residents have made me feel welcome from day one. I like all the company here and I, myself like to think that I get on with everyone. I have nothing but praise for ALL carers and staff and it is my privilege to be living here and to call Springfield my home. Everyone here is my FAMILY.

Professional, caring staff. Lovely, well-maintained surroundings. Plenty going on to keep everyone entertained.
Safe, caring environment.
Staff make the difficult decision of having a loved one in care, so much easier.

Our mum is well looked after and her needs are met by friendly staff. We are informed when mum has not been well by the staff who look after her.
We feel that as our mum deteriorates, her standard of care is adapted accordingly

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Springfield is a large busy care home, The standard of care is very good and caring.
My mother is 89, frail and with advanced dementia. I believe the care she receives is unlikely to be bettered elsewhere.
The staff are polite, informative and approachable.

My godmother has been in Springfield since June 2009.
She now needs 24-hour nursing care.
She has been well looked after by caring staff for all this period.

Review from Peter H (Son of Resident) published on 16 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother had been a resident at Springfields in Bradford for the last two years until she passed away in January 2017 at the age of 87.


I’ve been so impressed with the team throughout the time Mum had been in their care. From day 1 their understanding and empathy with someone moving into a new

environment has been exceptional – they put a very personal touch to a professional service, not easy in a highly regulated environment. They have taken the time to get to know Mum properly, what she enjoyed/ what she didn’t enjoy (!) and I think it’s a glowing testament that the team has stayed together all the way through – residents with dementia need consistency and the very low level of staff turnover has ensured that Mum has been happy and settled throughout her stay. It’s a special sort of person who has the patience and empathy to be a professional carer. Facilities, cleanliness, safety are all good - thank you for looking after my mother so well.

Review from Helen A (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 November 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Dad had vascular dementia and went to live in Springfield. As soon as we went to look around, not a pre-arranged visit, we were welcomed by the reception staff and carers. My Dad only lived there for 5 weeks, sadly he had a stroke but died in a place which showed genuine care, compassion, empathy
and love, not just for him, but for us, his family too. It is one of the hardest things putting someone you love into care, but Springfield is by far the best I have ever been to. Thank you for making his last few weeks happy.

Springfield has a welcoming atmosphere. Residents relatives are welcomed to go to the home when they want too. Relatives are able to make refreshments, stay for meals with residents. The staff assist residents with respect, they create a happy atmosphere. They get involved and participate in activities.
Lead office have always kept me informed of any issues of illness that my mum has had. Children are also welcomed when visitors are coming.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.818)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.818) out of 10 for Springfield is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 45 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 45 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 4.818 for Springfield is calculated as follows: ( (435 Excellents x 5) + (88 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 527 Ratings = 4.818
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Springfield is based on 45 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 99 registered maximum number of service users is 19.8, which has been reached with 45 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.
