Review from P S (Husband of Resident) published on 16 August 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Overall good. The best thing is the manager, professional, caring, knowledgeable, and flexible. Staff is very friendly, and a positive attitude starts with the manager running through the whole care home. I was struck with the cleanliness, there is a constant effort at keeping the home clean in both
the public and private areas. The environment is very positive, near a park, well served by public transit, generous parking, and a short walk from a great restaurant. I was surprised no one knew about it. The care home meals seem generous and well-prepared. Somewhat concerning was attention to dress. I found my wife walking in a public area without any shoes or slippers on even though she was accompanied with a care worker. Happily, I only needed to complain once. She also went a few days without a change of clothes, although she may have changed into pyjamas at bedtime. Very impressed with safety with entrance and exit codes, and two codes for the elevator. Congratulations.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Good staff. Lovely bedroom, shower and toilet room. Room in good decorative order. Bed and chair are comfortable. Room near to the general area where patients eat.
Requires activities in the afternoon once or twice a week to encourage movement and keep the brain active. The staff are friendly and treat
patients with respect.
The place is left clean and the patients are secure. The garden needs some work to it. Garden table and chairs next to the patient's windows which spoils the view.

My aunt is settling in well. One carer, in particular, is a wonderful carer who communicates well and encourages my aunt to participate in activities and encourages interaction with other residents. The staff at Alan Morkill are making a difficult situation much easier.

The first impression was that the outside of the building/yard was clean and kept. Upon entering the building the home has a very clean and airy feeling. The staff were particularly helpful and friendly. The overall appearance of the home was clean (although I didn't see the bedroom of my mom).

My father came to Alan Morkill in November 2021. We have never been through the process of a home and had heard scary stories about care homes. I can say that from the day my father arrived at Morkill, the whole experience has been positive and very assuring. They (Alan Morkill team) are amazing and
very helpful in every way.

All the staff in the care home are very friendly and dedicated to their job. They are taking very good care of residents. The place is very clean. Everything you visit there you are welcomed. I wish all care homes were the same as this one. Management is very friendly and helpful all the time.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.520)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.520) out of 10 for Alan Morkill House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.520 for Alan Morkill House is calculated as follows: ( (142 Excellents x 5) + (70 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 229 Ratings = 4.52
  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 Alan Morkill House is based on 19 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 49 registered maximum number of service users is 9.8, which has been reached with 19 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.
