My mother came to this care home for pallative care due to being unable to stay at a hospice any longer we were a bit apprehensive but we shouldn't have worried. The staff were so welcoming, my mum was there for 10 days before she passed away. She loved it. Had her hair done, she loved the food. The
pallative team cared for her every need. I can't thank the staff enough for looking after her, thank you x

My mother underwent a Hip operation which unfortunately had complications following a lengthy stay in Hospital she spent 6 weeks at Birchmere to allow full recovery prior to going home.
All the staff from Management to Carers were always very approachable, friendly + professional. My Mom enjoyed the
many activities + socialising with other residents.
On leaving my Mother stated that her time at Birchmere had prepared her both physically & mentally to return home.
As a family we were very pleased with the home & care she received & would recomend to other potential residents.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been entirely bedbound for the past six months. She suffers from advanced dementia and pain from a hip fracture operation that was not altogether successful. My mother's condition was an unending worry for me before Birchmere House Care Home accommodated her and I could no longer cope
with the work and stress of looking after her, even with the intervention of home carers. Fortunately, Birchmere has taken care of everything and my mother is as settled as she can be having regard for all of her difficulties. The nursing and caring staff know precisely how to deal with this situation and I am safeguarded from receiving regular disturbing telephone calls. The environment generally feels quiet and unpanicked and the staff never complain about being overburdened or rushed. Above all, Birchmere has been flexible in meeting my requirements and is sympathetic to my challenges and my mother's.

Review from J H (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 November 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
My relative was admitted into hospital from Birchmere House early October due to dehydration which led to sepsis; one month later as family we were told that after Birchmere House having been their home for 2.5 years they were no longer welcome back and so were left homeless.
The response to this review
from the Home Manager will be that a 'considered and full assessment' was carried out and Birchmere House could not meet the change in needs. It wasn't, my relative was asleep when the assessment took place.
If you value your, or indeed your loved ones, long-term changing care needs please not Birchmere House.
Reply from Rachel Walker, Manager at Birchmere House Care Home - Avery Healthcare

Staff pleasant, always a smile for you. Catering staff really nice, always time for a chat. Great variety of meals and of a high standard, wine and beer available if desired. On the negative side, the time it takes for staff to attend if residents call button has been pressed can take up to 10 minutes
or more! Definitely more staff needed on all floors. Also after 5.30 nobody on reception so when visitors leave you can't get out as a code is needed, so then you have to hunt around to find a member of staff.

A very good, kind caring service for my mother since arriving in January this year from hospital.

I visit this home regularly to visit a family member. The staff are professional, friendly, helpful and very caring. All of the management staff are very professional, informative and amenable. The staff always welcome feedback and management acts on any recommendations. It is a pleasure to visit on
every occasion. As a nurse visiting many homes, in my professional capacity, I can honestly say I have never visited a home of such excellence. I wish you all every continued success, keep up the good work!

Having spent 6 months in various hospitals I was hoping to find somewhere she could receive the care and attention she required. Initially, it was quite difficult knowing who I should address about different problems but the managers and nursing staff are always polite, friendly, and helpful and will
work with you to resolve any difficulties you may have. As with all new experiences, there is a settling-in period which I was aware of and now both Mum and the family are getting to find our way and she has settled well.

My father transferred to this care home approximately 6 weeks back, due to his home where he had been for a number of years closing there nursing floor. This was an incredibly stressful time for Dad and all his family.
I feel it appropriate to pass on feedback on what a gorgeous, safe and caring
home this is. The transition was smooth and compassionate and the efforts to settle Dad and the family were just incredible and very heartwarming and sincere. This is a true 'home' for the residents, and every staff member there, from the management, carers, nurses, admin, maintenance, housekeeping, kitchen staff etc. show that they really care and are passionate to ensure that their residents live their very best life.
As someone who has a lot of experience working in this industry, I feel that Birchmere truly 'showcase' older people's care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My relative has been in Birchmere House Care Home - Avery Healthcare
for just a few weeks. He is very happy and thoroughly enjoys the very wide range of varied activities. There really is something for everyone!
He says the food is superb, and cannot fault it.
He has a super room, his room, and
the whole home is spotlessly clean. This is truly better than his previous care home on all counts.
The gardens are lovely, one warm afternoon I dropped by my relative was seated with several other residents outside enjoying an ice cream with the carers. They really look after them very well. Care or attention needed during the night is quick.
They went to great lengths over the first week to sort a suitable bed for him too!

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.488)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.488) out of 10 for Birchmere House Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.567 for Birchmere House Care Home - Avery Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (136 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 178 Ratings = 4.567
  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 4.921 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Birchmere House Care Home - Avery Healthcare 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:

    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 76 registered maximum number of service users is 15.2. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.2 = 0.921
  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.
