Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I first visited Bowesbury Care home with my brother to ascertain if the facility would be suitable for our Father, it was an absolute blessing and our decision to request Bowesbury to look after dad was the easiest decision we have ever had to make.
We were impressed with the management and each and
every one of the care team. Communication is pivotal and we have been overwhelmed with how we have been kept updated with every aspect of our dad's care.
The attention to detail and the fact the management embraced our father's personal needs has been second to none.
It's not possible to nominate or single out any of the team for going the extra mile because everyone has the same mindset of delivering an amazing caring environment not just for the service users but their respective family members. As a family we can now sleep easy knowing our father is in safe hands. Thank you to all the team at Bowesbury.

My dad became a resident at Bowesbury Care Home, Boulton Moor, Derby.
The carers, the managers, the housekeeping staff & chiefs! Have been nothing but welcoming, the food is very well liked by my dad. He has settled in very well only after a couple of weeks.
Everyone works as a team & are supportive
to me as well as my dad.
I can thoroughly recommend this home to everyone who is thinking of going into one!

Very impressed with every aspect of Mum's stay so far. Having experienced a previous care home stay, both mum and I were very nervous. Mum demanded to come home within 5 hours previously, but at Bowesbury, mum has been more relaxed and is happy to go back 'home' when we've taken her out, which is the
ultimate reassurance that she's being well looked after. She tells me how lovely all the staff are to her.

Mum really loves it at Bowesbury, she is so well cared for, all the staff are really lovely very welcoming when we visit. The home is so well furnisted it doesn't feel like a care home at all.
The bedrooms are very comfortable all have en-suites, she enjoys the meals and always eats very well.
Thank

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Bowesbury is easy to find with plentiful parking. There is a warm welcome at Reception and a relaxed, calm and homely atmosphere within the house. The high standard of furnishings, decor and cleanliness are most impressive. There are plenty of cheerful, helpful, caring staff on hand. The facilities
provided are excellent - including a hair salon, cinema, garden room, bar, library and plenty of quiet areas. There are separate dining areas on each floor and a good choice of food and drink. With a comprehensive list of organised activities for residents should they wish to join in, and a gentle morning Keep Fit session there's plenty to keep everyone busy.
In short, Bowesbury has a great deal to offer to anyone who is looking for high quality care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Amazing! We were trying to find somewhere for our mum who was in hospital. Nowhere felt right, then we came to see Bowesbury. Simply stunning. The facilities, ambience and welcome are head and shoulders above all others we looked at. We visited on Saturday, rang up to confirm we would like Mum to go
on the Monday, they came to the ward the same day to assess her, spending lots of time to find out all about her. She moved in the next evening. It was incredible.
The staff have been so supportive, not only of Mum but also for us as a family in what has been a really traumatic time. They really have have been a light in the darkness.
Their social media page shows what they have been up to and its so nice to see the lovely activities going on.
We feel so lucky to have found this gem.
I cannot thank the whole team enough. What was looking like a bleak road ahead, now seems so much brighter.
Thank you Bowesbury!!

Our experiences for daycare so far has been amazing. I can't thank the staff enough for the care and attention they have given my mum, it has been outstanding. She comes back home talking about what a lovely time she has had and how lovely everyone is. It's such a big weight off my mind that she is
in such good hands and I don't have to worry. I will not hesitate to book her in for a stay for respite knowing that she will be so well cared for. I can't recommend Bowesbury Care home enough.

The facilities and staff at Bowesbury are great, what a lovely place. My Dad goes to the Daycare sessions (10am to 6pm) so that he can socialise in an environment where he is safe and supported. During the day he does a variety of activities which have included exercise classes (to his capability level)
and games sessions. He has also had his hair cut and has had the chiropodist visit during his day there. The staff are friendly and interested and have really taken the time to get to know him, his background and interests to engage him accordingly. My Dad loves spending the day there.
Reply from Denise Spencer, Home Manager at BowesburyThank you for taking the time to provide us with such a positive review, the team at Bowesbury really appreciate your kind comments and really pleased to hear that your Dad enjoys his experience when he joins us for the day, we as a team continue to take pride in providing the best possible care for our residents in our Bowesbury community.

My mum arrived at Bowesbury after a stay in hospital. Her hospital discharge was fraught and the staff at Bowesbury were incredible! They assessed my mum in hospital on the same day we opted to use Bowesbury. The following day she moved into a beautiful room with a queen bed and a television. The staff
are lovely and very caring. The facilities are excellent including a hair salon and a cinema room.
In a nutshell my mum had initially agreed to stay for 2 weeks to recover from surgery. She has unilaterally signed up now for 6 weeks!

My husband has been with Bowesbury for six weeks respite care. I cannot praise all the staff for their care during this time. They have gone beyond and above to make my husband feel at home. He has been happy and enjoyed his time. All staff have been brilliant admin care maintenance chef and the facilities

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.483)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.483) out of 10 for Bowesbury 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 10 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 4.975 for Bowesbury is calculated as follows: ( (117 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.975
  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 4.508 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bowesbury is based on 10 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 = 3.75
    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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.2 = 0.758
  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.
