Balmoral House is situated close to the centre of Scunthorpe in prestigious Old Brumby. All bedrooms are en suite, beautifully decorated and tastefully furnished. There is a choice of lounge and dining areas as well as a hairdressing salon and coffee bar. The home is centred around a delightful, private courtyard where residents can relax or help tend the plants and vegetables.

Their excellent team of dedicated, experienced carers treat everyone as an individual and work hard to ensure residents, their families and friends all feel at home.

Tailored activities and entertainment are offered throughout the week at Balmoral House and the freshly prepared, nutritious meals are home cooked. Special dietary requirements can also be catered for. Trips out by minibus are arranged regularly.

The purpose-built home, which opened in August 2012, predominately provides care for older people and those with needs relating to dementia.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff have been excellent with my grandad since moving in and shown a real interest in getting to know more about him. He has settled in very well after losing his wife recently and I am glad he’s in a safe environment. The ability to visit my grandad is great and not limited to a small window of
time. I would like to thank everyone at the care home for their continued support and care of my grandad.

Thanks, everybody.

Review from C B (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 November 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This residential home restores faith in the care system. At all levels, the strong team performed in an exemplary manner looking after Dad, a vulnerable person with challenging behaviour problems. Without exception, the staff were bright and cheerful, friendly and welcoming. They took the time and trouble
to get to know my dad, which helped in responding effectively as circumstances changed. The home is well-led, the manager of the home is actively effective, both in coordinating and implementing care plans and in communicating with family and medical agencies. There were numerous examples where the commitment of staff and management exceeded any expectation. Full consideration was always given to the safety and welfare of my father, as well as other residents and staff. The building itself is spotlessly clean, bright and airy and well maintained. The food is fresh and delicious. It is evidently a pleasant organisation to work for as is demonstrated by the high staff retention rates and public recognition of the team's service. When Dad's deterioration meant it was not feasible to remain, the care, flexibility and support shown by the management and staff in assisting was invaluable. We are very grateful for all their support given.

Balmoral is a bright and pleasant place. The staff are friendly and helpful. They work well together even when often short-staffed. All areas appear to be clean and clear of clutter. The recent decorations and new chairs etc., make the place light and airy.

My sister was a resident for nine months but, sadly, passed away in March. Balmorals staff cared for her very well. Showing kindness and compassion at all times, also being very supportive to all family members. I have visited the home recently and was greeted very warmly, will continue to keep in touch.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife and I live in Canada. My mother has been attending day visits to Balmoral for the past few years. She has totally enjoyed the activities, social activities and the loving staff. This was the first process to help her for the time she required 24-hour care. The staff, managers and everyone who
works there welcomed Mom with open arms this month when she moved in permanently. For us, we noticed how everyone is so happy, loving and caring to all the residents. A relief for us for sure!

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.431)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.431) out of 10 for Balmoral House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 9 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 4.981 for Balmoral House is calculated as follows: ( (105 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.981
  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 4.45 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Balmoral House is based on 9 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 = 3.7
    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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.75
  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.
