My father was in Bowbridge Court. He was there for over seven years and was very happy. He thought he was in a hotel that's how content hewas. The carers were brilliant with him and he was very well liked. Good food and a loving environment we couldn't have asked for more.

Today's visit to see my father was wonderful for both of us I think. It was the first time I had been inside the home as my father came to live here in January in lockdown. Although it was lovely to see him in the garden room each week since March and knew he was happy here, but seeing him at ease in
his room listening to him telling me about the room and the lovely helpful staff was so good. It has given me peace of mind and really believe my sister and I made the right decision in arranging for him to live here.

My mother has been at Bowbridge Court Care Home for nearly two and a half years. She has received a high standard of care. As my mother's needs have changed over the course of the 2 years so has her care package which has been implemented by Bowbridge Court.

My mum has been a resident for 2 years now. We are currently having to deal with some very challenging medical needs for my mum. The staff have all been so supportive in my mum's care and it has really helped up us all as a family during this difficult time. So a massive thank you to all the team at

All staff doing an excellent job of keeping Mum safe through this pandemic, some going above and beyond. Requested food preferences not being met on more than one occasion, resulting in disappointment. Communication is an ongoing issue, messages not being passed on to Mum. Things not being done that
family request. When home last visited in March 2020, before the pandemic, all areas seemed clean and well presented. Quality of ongoing issue, sometimes cold by the time it is served - partly due to very cold plates. Have suggested home invest in a plate warmer. Great effort seems to have been made to keep the residents entertained, despite the difficulties of the pandemic.

Review from Angus E (Son of Resident) published on 25 March 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 97-year-old mother recently went into care at Bowbridge Court. She had been living largely independently until then, with only a small amount of help from the family. She valued her independence hugely and was not greatly looking forward to care, despite realizing that she was finding things ever
more difficult. After two months at Bowbridge Court, she is positively blooming. By her own admission, it’s not home, but it’s the next best thing. She is being very well cared for and looks about five years younger. She has nothing but praise for all her carers and is flourishing in the home.

Although there have been challenging times one of the most impressive aspects of Bowbridge care home is the commitment and professionalism shown by the inhouse staff. These are characterised by the high level of care. The ability to relate appropriately to my mother who has high-level needs. The humour

My mother has been in Bowbridge Court for just over 12 months. The change in her has been remarkable, no longer depressed, talking about ending it and has put on weight, she looks like a different person. I was impressed when I first went to review Bowbridge and my impression has increased with every
passing month. My mother could not be in a better place for her health, sanity and wellbeing.

Bowbridge Court have looked after my Mum extremely well over the period Mum has been in a resident there. Prior to the lockdown, there were always activities and trips she could get involved in and she repeatedly says how nice the staff is and how well looked after she is since the lockdown. I feel
that the staff are doing their best to do as much as they can under extremely difficult circumstances but are keeping their residents safe. I do feel however that the cost is excessive. We have looked at homes in the South where you would expect costs to be higher but those at Bowerbridge Court are higher.

Mum has been here since February 2019 after suffering a debilitating stroke. After a couple of months settling in we can see she is very happy and cheerful and all her needs are well cared for. This for us is also a great relief knowing she is content. The staff is extremely caring and approachable
and the atmosphere here is always very happy and relaxed but also professional. Mum always cuts into our conversation to wave to the carers; this says so much!

We are very pleased with the care and attention my father is receiving within Bowbridge Court care home. The staff from the management downwards are fantastic, caring and loving towards my father! Whilst it is not ideal that he needs to be in a care home, unfortunately, his health and mental capacity
means that this is a necessity. The care home gives a sense of quiet, calm, soothing environment for a president to feel safe and secure when they are at their most vulnerable time of life.
A home is only as good as its staff. Well done to you all you are brilliant and much appreciated.

Bowbridge Court care staff are, in my experience, consistently thoughtful and supportive.
Nothing is too much trouble and they genuinely engage with the individual personalities of the residents in their care. That is a rarity and worth a lot to the families of loved ones.
Let’s put it this way, in
the current climate of Coronavirus, if I can’t physically get to see my loved one for a period of time, I am confident she remains in the best possible care and that the staff at Bowbridge will continue to look out for and address her needs, as they are a great team.

My grandmother was a resident here. When visiting our family was made extremely welcome, even invited to spend lunch with her on many occasions. The staff were very attentive and were always willing to help. When my grandmother deteriorated, their end of life care was second to none, couldnt fault it.
She is no longer with us, but thank you Bowbridge Court for helping her pass on become a little easier.

My mother in law has been in Bowbridge Court since September, having moved up from the south of the country. I cannot thank the staff enough for making her feel welcome and for the excellent standard of care they provide.
Everyone has taken real trouble to get to know her and the level of care is
excellent. As a visitor, you are made to feel extremely welcome on every visit. They have also been helpful in helping us understand my mother in laws condition and very supportive of us as a family.
There are so many activities for the residents to do and take part in, all really well thought out and well run.
The home is always immaculately clean, as is her room. All the services they provide, from laundry to hairdressing and manicures, are excellent. I genuinely cannot recommend Bowbridge Court highly enough.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.725)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.725) 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.725 for Bowbridge Court is calculated as follows: ( (230 Excellents x 5) + (69 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 306 Ratings = 4.725
  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 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 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 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.
