Review from Jacqueline (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 February 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum is so happy and settled here. It truly is a home from home.


The home is light, airy, modern, lovely and clean and Mum has such a pleasant view out of her window, she spends hours watching the birds feed.


The staff are just marvellous and management will bend over backwards to help make

life as comfortable and as happy as possible.


The food is all fresh and lovely and the home baking is just fab...especially the scones!

Review from David (Son of Resident) published on 11 February 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother is being cared for in this modern, clean, bright welcoming care home. The management and staff treat all the residents with care and compassion, nothing is too much trouble, with visitors and relatives welcomed anytime.
In difficult times when your relative requires care and nursing, deciding
the best home, is very challenging. Choosing Bispham Gardens was perfect. I can not praise it highly enough.
The staff treat residents like their own, their dedication and commitment is amazing.
The building is bright, airy and immaculately clean. The outside gardens allow the residents opportunities to sit, bird watch and relax.
The food is varied and impressive and the daily/monthly activities keep residents occupied.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 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 4.424 for Bispham Gardens Care & Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (131 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (8 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 198 Ratings = 4.424
  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 4.875 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bispham Gardens Care & Nursing Home is based on 15 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.875
    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 52 registered maximum number of service users is 10.4, which has been reached with 15 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.
