The Review Score of 9.7 (maximum of 10) for Homesdale is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 18 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Homesdale in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5 out of 5 from 8 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.707 for Homesdale is calculated as follows: ( (156 Excellents x 5) + (55 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 215 Ratings = 4.707
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Homesdale is based on 8 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 3.6 positive Reviews (18 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 8 Reviews ÷ 3.6 Target Reached = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Homesdale has a Review Score of 9.7 (9.707) from 18 Reviews

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Jan L (Vicar Church Minister) on Wednesday 21 March 2018. Relates to December 2017.
Being a small care home (approximately 20 residents), Homesdale offers exceptional client-centred care.
A Christian foundation, Homesdale offers Christian activities on site but they are entirely optional and people of other faiths or none are equally welcomed and cared for.
Regular group activities (optional) encourage residents to keep their minds and bodies active - to a level at which each resident is comfortable.
Supervised outings are a regular part of the programme.
Each resident is encouraged to live as independently as possible, with trained staff on hand when required.
The diet is varied and nourishing, all rooms are en-suite, though vary in size.
Homesdale exudes an atmosphere of love and family warmth - second to none.

I came here first for a respite stay. Having been here approx 10 months, I feel content to stay permanently. I am in a respite room but hope to have my permanent room soon. The staff are all very friendly and helpful.

My aunt has thrived since arriving aged 95 in Homesdale and I cannot thank staff enough for their friendly, caring and professional ways.
From chit-chat with the staff (caring to kitchen), activities, visits from the hairdresser and organised outings, Homesdale offers as much or as little as the resident needs.
I especially like the fact that Homesdale Care Home is linked by a walkway to the warden accommodation block and residents from there join in the home's activities and help stimulate the care home residents.
The home is situated close to the shops, tube and forest, all with easy wheelchair access, which is a great way to pass a few hours whilst visiting.
Homedale also offers help yourself homemade cake and a cup of tea to all visitors!

Review submitted from a Postal Card by John S (Brother of Resident) on Monday 15 May 2017. Relates to May 2017.
This is an excellent care home as I have stated below. It has an award as one of the twenty best in London and this is fully justified. All of the staff are extremely caring and treat visitors as their friends, not as people coming in to interrupt work. Their care of residents is exemplary and frequently goes beyond what is rightly expected of them. All facilities are very good indeed and there is a full programme of activities/entertainment. The management is both unobtrusive and extremely efficient.

My mother flourished under the loving care of all the staff at Homesdale. Homesdale care home operates like a family with the resident's needs being prioritised at all times. Staff work tirelessly to ensure residents thrive, eat well and are stimulated by a variety of quality activities.

Cannot speak highly enough of the care and kindness that my uncle received during his stay at Homesdale.
My husband and I were always made to feel welcome when we visited. The staff were always smiling, which given the nature of their work could not always have been easy.
Well done Homesdale.

A wonderful care home! The staff are extremely kind and attentive and always go above and beyond for residents and their families. Grandma took part in lots of activities which she thoroughly enjoyed and allowed her to live her final years to the full. Dignity is one of the many top priorities for residents and is always carried out to the highest degree for all staff. The management team are simply amazing ensuring gold standard for every resident.

When there is so much negative publicity about our care system it's a pleasure to be able to speak so positively about my mother's home. She is always well fed, kept warm and well looked after with a prompt G.P. response whenever she enjoys and particularly values her "own" space in a lovely, picture window. The staff provide a homely atmosphere with the assurance of a warm welcome to visitors and the offer of a hot drink on arrival. I would, without hesitation, recommend this home to any prospective residents.

Mum has been in Homesdale for a year. She is happy there. There are lots of varied activities and entertainment. Staff are very kind and attentive to Mum. She enjoys the food, especially cooked breakfasts. There is always homemade cake appreciated by residents and visitors. The home is well run and staff have been very helpful with organising mum's affairs.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Terence S (Friend of Resident) on Thursday 24 November 2016. Relates to January 2016.
My friend became a resident in January 2016, due to her general health and dementia. During this period, she received wonderful care from all the staff at Homesdale. It was of the highest standard and profession, but most of all she felt valued and the staff listened to her. I had every confidence in the love she received whilst there.

My father has been in the home since July 2016. He has been extremely well cared for! The staff are very caring and keen to meet all his needs. They listen well, take him out, especially if I'm away. I would be very happy to recommend the home. He was in another home for six weeks and was very unhappy there.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Elaine N (Daughter of Resident) on Wednesday 23 November 2016. Relates to August 2016.
My mother passed away in August after a short illness. She was looked after in a kindly and efficient way at the care home until just three days before she died (when she was too unwell not to be in hospital). She suffered from severe arthritis which meant that she was confined to a wheelchair, but the care staff enabled her to take full part in all activities within the limits of her physical disability. She also had early dementia and her memory was unreliable. The staff were most respectful of her need for understanding and were patient with her if she questioned whether something has been done when she couldn't remember. I was made welcome and the residents and staff came to feel like extended family.

I felt the staff made good efforts to encourage and include the residents in activities. They appeared caring and went about their duties with a general good humour. Generally the atmosphere of Homesdale was friendly and helpful and supportive, always making visitors welcome.

My sister and I cannot speak highly enough of the care that out mother received in Homesdale and throughout the five years she spent there. She and we were treated at all times with friendliness and kindness. Staff were efficient and welcoming treating residents with dignity and understanding. We visited our mother every day so we were in a good position to see that all residents were very well cared for. Sadly our mother passed away but we are blessed that she ended her days at Homesdale.

My mother is very happy and cared for in this residential care home. The staff are all professional and look after my mother in a very loving way. I am reassured that my mother is safe and eating good meals that she enjoys. All medical and personal needs are taken care of and the range of activities provided are great. There are opportunities for my mum to attend Christian services and groups which she appreciates. I would recommend Homesdale to anybody.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Maurice H (Son of Resident) on Friday 27 November 2015. Relates to November 2015.
Our family and friends are very happy with Holmesdale. We moved our father to Holmesdale in August 2015 when a room became available. The most noticeable overall the thing we found was the friendly, warm atmosphere. More specially, the home is well run, well managed, and most importantly all the staff are warm, friendly and approachable and treat all the residents with dignity and make efforts to relate to residents as individuals. The food is very good and the rooms are always clean and tidy. The home is very good value for money, and there are regular activities
