Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband had 4 weeks respite care in Bowbridge Court where he was extremely well looked after. He went in as an emergency due to recovering from double pneumonia and struggling to walk. The staff encouraged him (with patience) to walk and join in the activities, which he came to enjoy. The cleanliness
and the food were extremely good, also the laundry dept kept his clothes clean. He always looked nice when I visited. He was treated with kindness and nothing was too much trouble from the staff.

I visited my brother who has been at Bowbridge Court for 3 weeks on a trail months period. He was clean, well dressed, sitting in the lounge where he likes chatting with other residents. We went out to the YMCA for lunch and had a good afternoon. It was good to see him in good spirits, and the staff
were most helpful, both to him and to me.

Dad was discharged from hospital to Bowbridge Court after two weeks of being unwell. He was frail, tired and completely overwhelmed. On arrival at the home, we were greeted by the friendly staff, who immediately got to work setting dad in to his room. I now able to have lunch with dad and I left him
with a real sense of relief, knowing that he was in safe hands. I am so grateful for the care and attention to detail from the amazing team. Thank you!

It has been very interesting. Got to know some wonderful people whom I shall miss when I leave.
I was looked after a LOT. Wonderful, if I was on medication + need care. I just limp on a rollater.
As I am on a veggie easy-to-eat diet I get special wonderful food, esp. The curry
It was a bit intrusive.
Ones door being opened at 2. AM letting in the light + waking me up. As a poor sleeper I often did not get back to sleep. Also they might knock

I am always bowled over by the cleanliness and warm feeling in Bowbridge Court. The staff are caring, friendly and kind. They have the patience and thought to take each resident and their individual needs to heart. My mum has been at Bowbridge Court now for 6 months and she and her family couldn't be
happier. To the manager and all the team - thank you for all that you do.

This was a difficult time, of illness, anxiety and unwanted change. All of the staff, but particularly those in senior roles, were exemplary. Not only did they treat you as an individual, they treated you with such professionalism, sensitivity and with humour, it felt like home from home - yet you felt
safe and in the knowledge medical needs were met. Great communication with friends and relatives. Heartfelt thanks.

My mum has been a resident for over seven years and, in all that time, we have never had any concerns relative to her well-being and the care she has been given. The staff are wonderfully attentive and have, obviously, learned her likes and dislikes and the best way to treat her and try to put a smile
on her face.

My Mother ages 90 had a recent fall and could no longer look after herself. We visited 5 care homes in the local area and this was by far the best. The staff were amazing from start to finish - it was faultless. My Mother is now settled and is very happy. The food, care, and friendliness have made a
difficult transition so much easier. Thank you.

My friend lives alone in a small village. She underwent a replacement knee operation. Therefore, chose to recuperate a little before going home. She was well supported by staff and the room had everything she needed.

Bowbridge Court has provided excellent care not just for my wife but also for the rest of her family at a time which might otherwise have proved daunting and very upsetting for us all. All of our questions and special requests have been addressed in such a way that my wife's unease has been minimised.

We have total confidence in the staff at Bowbridge Court to care for Mum in the best, most compassionate and professional way that's possible. Her needs and wants are always addressed as far as possible and with consideration and concern for her personal dignity. It seems as though the staff here are
both dedicated and happy in their work, and this shows in the way they interact with Mum - exactly as we would wish.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.715)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.715) out of 10 for Bowbridge Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.715 for Bowbridge Court is calculated as follows: ( (219 Excellents x 5) + (69 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 295 Ratings = 4.715
  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 Bowbridge Court is based on 25 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 54 registered maximum number of service users is 10.8, which has been reached with 25 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.
