We recently had to make the hard decision to put my nan into a care home. As she suffers from Alzheimer's we needed somewhere she could receive 24hr care, meet new friends and feel safe. From the moment we walked into Bearhill we were wowed by the grand entrance and beautiful front rooms. We just knew
it was the perfect place. We were allowed to add some of her home comforts to make her room feel more personal. My nan said it was just like a grand hotel, she told us the meals are first class with lots of choices and you can choose which dinning room you use. There's entertainment everyday, always something to do. To hear her telling us about how lovely it is really confirmed that we had made the right decision. All staff are so friendly and helpful. Everyone is so obliging, you are always welcomed with a smile. It's a joy to visit and see her so happy and settled. I must mention the manager has been absolutely fantastic. We would highly recommend Bearhill Care Home.

Reply from Annamarie Hudson, Home Manager at Bearehill Care Home

On behalf of all the team, thank you for such a positive review and for sharing your experience with us. It is indeed a difficult decision when a loved one moves into a care home and our team are here to support every step of the way. Our objective at Bearehill is to create a home from home with residents making their rooms as personal as possible.

My gran was previously in Bearehill Care Home last year for a short period of time. Her experience was good however she recently returned to the care home this month and the difference that the manager has made to the home is exceptional. The staff are, overall, more supportive, caring and attentive
to the residents. The new current ratings prove the difference that the manager has made to Bearehill Care Home.

I am very happy to leave a review for Bearehill Care Home. They have been absolutely wonderful with my mum who can be very challenging in that she never sits still and needs to be constantly 'found' and encouraged to sit down! All the staff are so caring of her and I appreciate that they like her too
- so I know that the care they give is not just part of the job. All the staff are very friendly, professional and extremely kind and caring. I am so grateful that she is in such a loving, care home and is so very well looked after. If there is a problem then I am kept notified and I appreciate this. I have to also say that the staff are caring of me and my family when we visit too - I feel like part of the Bearehill family. A huge thanks to all the staff.

My mum was in Bearehill Care Home for respite back in 2022/2023, at this time the care home was being run by an interim manager. It was ok and lots better than the previous care home she was in.
My mum has since returned to Bearehill for more respite at the beginning of July 2024. The experience this
time is nothing short of amazing, from the first visit by the manager and assistant to my mum's home to see what needs she had. Then once she arrived. Nothing is too much trouble, you name it, the manager and staff have it covered.
Mum is really happy this time which is the main thing and we are made so welcome when we go to visit her. I would have no hesitation recommending Bearehill to anyone for their care home needs.

My mother-in-law is in for her second round of respite care. The previous one being last year. Previously, I had no complaints. The staff are lovely and work so hard. Nothing is too much. Food is wonderful and plentiful. I didn't feel they needed to improve. However, when she went back this month.
What a difference. Wow! The whole place seems to feel happier. You can usually hear laughter when you walk in. The difference being the new manager. She is fantastic. What an asset to the home. Always cheery. Takes the time to speak to her residents and their families and always has a massive smile on her face. The manager is exactly what Bearehill Care Home needed. Thank you so much.

The garden grounds are not utilised, due to the very poor condition of the road and car park.
Additionally the absence of a proper path network makes it unsafe to take residents out for a walk in the extensive gardens.
I understand there is a fundraiser in progress for a garden makeover, however
I feel a safe outdoor area is a basic necessity to encourage better health and well-being and should be inclusive to all.
Otherwise I have found the care, food, cleanliness and facilities very good and have nothing but praise for the staff, who are friendly, helpful and caring.

Reply from Celia Findlay, Home Manager at Bearehill Care Home

Hi - thank you for taking the time to leave a review it means a lot to our team to know we are all doing a good job. As you know the drive is being resurfaced today and we still have our beautiful internal garden in use which our residents take great pleasure in utilising for health and well-being. The front garden is a work in progress but we will get there and get it as amazing as it can be for our residents

I just wanted to take time to show my appreciation for all the staff at Bearehill Care Home who look after my dad. He has come on heaps since staying at Bearehill and it wasn’t a decision that came easy for my dad to go into care. The staff go above and beyond to support my dad and my mum stays regularly
to have lunch with him. Most recently especially with it having been my mum's 80th birthday, the staff made a special dining area for the two of them and decorated it for them both to enjoy the day. I would just like to say thank you to all for everything you do.

I went to visit my daughter overseas and my mum went into Bearehill Care Home for one month's respite. Beforehand, the whole thought of this process was very scary to me but from the moment I started the enquiry for my mum, I could not have been more reassured. We met the Care Manager who was brilliant
and came out to visit my mum in her home and filled out a comprehensive care plan to put everything in place before we even got there. The home was clean, warm, very beautiful and we were made to feel so welcome. My mum’s room was beautiful, comfortable and everything was in place to make her safe. All the staff were brilliant, all open and friendly and did everything to help my mum have the best respite break ever, I could not be more grateful. My mum loved the social aspect and enjoyed meeting other residents and her chats too with all members of the team. My mum has coeliac disease and can’t have gluten, the cook went out of her way to prepare the most delicious meals for Mum!

Mum initially entered Bearehill Care Home for respite care but has now become a permanent resident.
Mum has settled in really well and is happy in her new surroundings.
There is a lovely, caring atmosphere in the home which is due to the staff who work hard to ensure the residents are very well
looked after and cared for with empathy and understanding.
We, as a family, have been made to feel very welcome every time we visit and it gives us great peace of mind knowing that Mum is being cared for by such a wonderful team.

My dad was a resident here for 3 months before returning home and I was very impressed with his care. The staff, every one of them, is so caring, friendly, cheerful, chatty, helpful and of course professional. Nothing is too much bother. The place has a lovely welcoming feel to it. I feel that wonderful
care is the most important aspect of a care home and the staff at Bearehill Care Home certainly fulfil that criteria and more.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.813)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.813) out of 10 for Bearehill Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.813 for Bearehill Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (137 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 166 Ratings = 4.813

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bearehill Care Home is based on 14 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 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 49 registered maximum number of service users is 9.8, which has been reached with 14 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.
