I went to visit Springwood with my sister and her husband to have a look around prior to moving in July, I have subsequently visited again this week to see how they have settled in. Springwood is a beautiful care home with great facilities and amenities. Their rooms are immaculate and in my opinion
they have settled in extremely well. The staff are very caring and they are already taking part in facilities. I have nothing but praise for Springwood and long may it continue..

Reply from Ami Barrington-Hunt, Client Liaison Manager at Springwood Corner Care Home

Thank you for your kind words. We're so pleased your family has settled in well. At Springwood, we aim to ensure every visit is enjoyable and that it always feels like home. Your support is truly appreciated.

My sister-in-law moved in a month ago today, she settled in extremely quickly after an anxious time at her previous home. It feels as though she has been there much longer as the time has passed so quickly with all the activities which is on offer to her. Her room is beautiful and all the staff are
wonderfully caring and friendly. The standard of the food is on par to a high class restaurant and they cater for all dietary needs. I have no hesitation to recommend Springwood Corner to anyone.

Avery Springwood Corner has provided an excellent environment for my brother from the moment he arrived, and the home is of a very high standard for the Care industry. When I arrive I feel a sense of professionalism throughout the home, whether it's housekeeping, catering,, carers, activitiy or
reception, all departments are run extremely well.. The team in place is led by a sound management where attention to detail is brilliant. My brother is extremely happy there and is much more engaging with family and staff who help to make his day happy. I have no hesitation in recommending anyone to this beautiful home.

My father and the whole family received such a warm friendly welcome that we immediately felt at ease and knew we had made the right choice. The care staff and all the managers are knowledgeable & professional and couldn't do enough for Dad. The care is certainly centered to the individual resident.
The food and the dining areas area of a very high standard as are all rooms in the home. Very happy to recommend Springwood Corner.

From the moment of my original contact with Client Liaison Manager prior to the completion of the care home to the present time all of the staff looking after my sister-in-law have been helpful, courteous and caring for her. Since moving in she has joined in with activities and seems to be thoroughly
enjoying herself in her new environment. Due to the assistance of the staff she is settling in really well following a bereavement and it is nice to see a smile back on her face. I would have no hesitation in recommending this Care Home to anyone. In fact both myself and my wife have said that it would be a nice place to be cared for when we are unable to care for ourselves.

Reply from Ami Barrington-Hunt, Client Liaison Manager at Springwood Corner Care Home

My sister-in-law moved in on 17th June, the first resident. Obviously a strange experience and a lot to take in and adjust to. She has dealt with it extremely well. Most of the credit for this can only be due to the staff. They have been most welcoming, caring and supportive. We have been very
concerned about her but no longer. She is in a safe, cosy and comfortable place. We have enjoyed being part of the Springwood family.
I have submitted high ratings based on little experience but, up to now, have found nothing to fault.
Thank you all so very much.

Reply from Ami Barrington-Hunt, Client Liaison Manager at Springwood Corner Care Home

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.789)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.789) out of 10 for Springwood Corner Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.983 for Springwood Corner Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (117 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 119 Ratings = 4.983

  • b) 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 4.806 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Springwood Corner Care Home 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:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.4 = 0.806

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
