Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
A very nice and homely care facility. The facilities are lovely and the manager called on the day that my mother was received. The staff team are very nice and the rooms are pleasant. There have been a few issues and concerns:
The room has crash mats everywhere for safety yet I find myself wiping these
down regularly due to food/blood/even faeces on them.
The blinds/curtains had been pulled down by my mother and the plaster from the walls is till on the floor weeks later & no replacements arranged.

My husband has been living here nearly 2 years now. I am confident he is well looked after and all his needs are met. He seems very happy and relaxed in his home. The staff are very good and friendly and the management are always open to suggestions on how to improve things. The food is very good and
my husband eats very well. His challenging behaviour is well under control with various strategies in place. Thank you.

Review from Ruth M (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has been at Blythe since Sept 2025, after having been in a previous care setting. He was not settled for the few months prior to the move, however staff and management at Blythe from day 1 took the time to ensure the transition went well.
It seems at Blythe that my father's health and happiness
in his final stage of life has been top priority. Due to his Alzheimer's, my father can be difficult and lacks awareness, often very resistant to help with personal care needs, however with patience and understanding the staff have got to know him and secured strategies that work best to manage his condition.
Staff at Blythe are always welcoming to family, and seem to fully understand the stress and worry family feel when placing their loved ones in care. The home is clean and tidy and the resident's dignity is maintained in bedrooms and around the home in public areas.
Food is of a good standard and staff will always seek to find a meal my father will enjoy. Highly recommended.
Reply from Sammy Burgess, Customer Relations Manager at Blythe Rose Specialist Dementia Care HomeThank you so much for your lovely review and for taking the time to share your experience. We're really pleased to hear that your father's transition to Blythe went smoothly and that he has been able to settle with the support of our team.
Knowing that your father's health, happiness, and dignity are our top priorities-especially during such an important stage of life-means a great deal to us. Your kind words about our staff's patience, understanding, and commitment to getting to know him as an individual are truly appreciated. Caring for people living with Alzheimer's requires trust, compassion, and consistency, and your feedback reflects the dedication of our team.
We're also glad to hear that you feel welcomed as a family and reassured by the care, environment, and meals provided. Your recommendation is sincerely valued, and we will be sure to share your comments with the entire Blythe team.

Thank you again for your trust and support.

Review from Deborah H (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We came across BR Care Home by chance as my father, suffering from Alzheimers and Vascular Dementia had been asked to leave his previous home. Filled with nervousness, we moved Dad to BR. We need not have worried at all, in fact for the entire time that Dad has lived in and been cared for here (Now
nearly 2 years) he has received excellent care and we could not be happier. I do not live nearby and therefore, my need to trust that all is well with Dad is extremly important and to this end, my dad's carers keep me up to date with any developments with my Dad's behaviour, moods and his general day to day well being and I am so grateful for this added care that is given to me and the family.
Whilst my Dad's behaviour can be challenging a fair amount of the time, on visiting him, I am welcomed warmly and get to enjoy meals with Dad, in a quiet room to one side of the other residents if needed and am greeted with staff members across the board whose professionalism is excellent.
Reply from Sammy Burgess, Customer Relations Manager at Blythe Rose Specialist Dementia Care HomeThank you so much for sharing your experience and for your kind, heartfelt review. We understand how difficult and worrying it can be to move a loved one into a new care setting, especially under challenging circumstances, and we are truly honoured that you entrusted us with your father's care.
It means a great deal to us to hear that over the past two years your father has received excellent care and that you feel reassured and supported, particularly as you do not live nearby. Keeping families informed and involved is extremely important to us, and we're very pleased that our team's communication has given you confidence and peace of mind.

Review from Colin J (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 12 November 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
On the whole, the experience when visiting was an expected. My mother-in-law has dementia which affects her memory (mostly short term) mood and behavior which is why she is housed in the section for people with challenging behavior. To that end it did not surprise me that other residents were of a similar
disposition. The carers appeared to be alert and engaged. Although I felt in some instances a little stand offish when situations escalated which could be why on occassion minor scrapes and injuries are sustained by residents. Feeding and type of food gave me most cause for concern. Despite most of the residents being elderly, the food offered was not what they would've been used to and consequently there was significant waste.
Reply from Sammy Burgess, Customer Relations Manager at Blythe Rose Specialist Dementia Care HomeThank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We truly appreciate your observations and the opportunity to improve.
We're pleased to hear that you found our carers to be alert and engaged, and we understand your concerns regarding how situations are managed when behaviors escalate. The safety and wellbeing of all our residents is our highest priority, and our team is continually trained in de-escalation and dementia care techniques to ensure that every resident is supported with compassion and understanding.
We also take your comments about the food and meal choices very seriously. We understand how important it is for our residents to enjoy familiar, comforting meals that reflect their preferences and backgrounds. Your feedback will be shared with our catering team so we can review our menus and reduce any unnecessary waste while ensuring residents are eating foods they enjoy.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
My biggest issue is with the food as I don't believe what is served is appropriate for the residents as my mom for instance only likes British traditional food such as sausage & mash, roast dinners, cottage pie etc. I believe also that not enough activities are done outside as my mom loves to walk outside
but is very rarely taken out.
Reply from Sammy Burgess, Customer Relations Manager at Blythe Rose Specialist Dementia Care HomeThank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that your mother's experience hasn't fully met your expectations. We understand how important it is for residents to enjoy meals that suit their tastes, and we'll be sure to pass your comments about traditional British food options to our catering team for review.

Regarding outdoor activities, we completely agree that spending time outside can be very beneficial for our residents' wellbeing. We'll look into how we can better accommodate your mother's preference for walks and ensure she has more opportunities to enjoy the outdoors safely and regularly.

We value your feedback and would welcome the opportunity to discuss your concerns further-please don't hesitate to contact our management team directly so we can make sure your mother's experience is the best it can be.

Kind regards,
Sammy Burgess

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional care that my mother received during her stay at Blythe Rose. The dedication, professionalism & genuine compassion of all staff made a significant difference in her quality of life.
From the moment she arrived it was evident that the
team were committed to understanding her unique needs and ensuring her comfort. They treated her with dignity and respect, established meaningful connection that fostered a sense of belonging. The individualised approach to her care, combined with warm and nurturing environment allowed her to feel safe and valued.
Even during the most challenging moments, the staff maintained unwavering commitment to excellence, providing not just physical care but emotional support too. It was truly comforting to know she was in safe hands. Though we faced the heartbreaking loss of her passing, our family are grateful for the love and support she received. I highly commend this care home to anyone seeking professional dementia care for a loved one. Thank you for everything you did for Mum and our family.

Mum spent 8 months at Blythe' Rose and we were extremely happy with the care that she received. The staff clearly knew how to handle her challenging form of dementia and we could sleep easy at night knowing that she was properly cared for when we could no longer manage her at home. The facilities are
state-of-the-art with a high staff-to-resident ratio, so much so that we always referred to it as the Rolls Royce of dementia care. Once again, a heartfelt thanks to all at Blythe.

Reception is very welcoming + loved the new dog station which my dog used. My dad has now been moved to the 1st floor from 2nd which is much better as more space. Dad was comfortable + his main carer was welcoming and chatted to us to give us an update on how he had been. Dad was facing the window which
he enjoys + his new chair is better as more support. Floor was wet on arrival by Dad but he had thrown his drink but it was been cleaned up. Very warm, would be good to have some windows open as it was a warm day outside

The Average Rating of 4.612 for Blythe Rose Specialist Dementia Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (221 Excellents x 5) + (66 Goods x 4) + (21 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 312 Ratings = 4.612
  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 Blythe Rose Specialist Dementia Care Home is based on 26 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 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16, which has been reached with 26 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.

Barry Flanagan

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2024

My name is Barry Flanagan and I am proud to be the manager at Blythe Rose Dementia Care home.


I began working in the care industry during the 1980s and qualified as a nurse in 1991, subsequently working for the NHS and in both the private and voluntary sectors.


Over the past thirty years, I have primarily worked with residents who can present with challenges and in the last 12 years, dedicated my energy and experience to developing specialist care for adults with dementia or mental health conditions.


I am a qualified trainer and while always keen to develop my own knowledge and skills, also enjoy sharing my experiences and supporting and encouraging the people around me to meet their full potential.


My ambition for Blythe Rose Dementia Care is to make a real difference in the lives of the residents under my team’s care and empower them to maintain their identity, character and choices.


With strong values, passion and innovation at its heart, the home will truly be a centre of excellence – contributing to ongoing development, research and best care practices for people living with dementia, mental health and cognitive impairment.


Outside of work, I have a happy family life and enjoy many hobbies including football, reading and history.
