The Review Score of 9.4 (maximum of 10) for Tudor House 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 9 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Tudor House in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 4 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 4.657 for Tudor House is calculated as follows: ( (75 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.657
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 4.75 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tudor House is based on 4 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 3.75
Target of 3.6 positive Reviews (18 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 4 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.
Tudor House has a Review Score of 9.4 (9.407) from 9 Reviews

I have recently put my 94 year old uncle in the above care home against his wishes, however, he has settled in very well. I have been made very welcome and can call any time.
He is now happy, settled and looks forward to the many outings that they arrange. The food is good and the place is very clean. Yesterday he was taken to Dunstable pancake race which he thoroughly enjoyed. The staff are very kind to him and helpful. I and my husband feel relieved that he is happy and safe.

I have lived at the above home for seven years and have been very glad to do so. Every time I receive a form to fill in with the below ratings, I have always ticked each favourably because that is the way that I really felt. On the medical side, staff are efficient too in getting a doctor or practise nurse to see me, and in some circumstances, an ambulance to take me for CT scans, and in one case for a major operation which was a success.

Respite care from July to December 2017 as my home was being renovated after I had broken my femur. Thanks to the care I received. I am now healthy. The care is excellent and the staff are friendly and helpful.
My stay has been an enjoyable experience. A true family home!

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Misty B (Granddaughter of Resident) on Thursday 1 June 2017. Relates to June 2017.
All staff are incredibly helpful and accommodating. They support grandad to go out into the community 2-3 times each week. Very supportive with his eating habits (can be very picky) they accommodate to his tastes and needs. Very good with his personal care and getting him to have a bath or shower each week and wash each day. It is a great care home, it's home from home to grandad and his visitors.

May God bless ye.

In my opinion Tudor House is quite excellent. On the almost six years I have been at the home it has never wavered from the high standard of care in all areas provided. I love being a resident here.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by J F (Daughter of Resident) on Wednesday 23 November 2016. Relates to November 2016.
Our father has been at Tudor House for over 7 months. We have been extremely impressed with how approachable and caring the staff are. There is a very homely atmosphere. It is great to hear of all the activities that are provided which adds so much interest for all of the residents. Every opportunity is taken to involve them as much as possible, for example, by taking a resident out in a wheelchair when going into town. We thoroughly recommend Tudor House.

Mum has settled into the home very well. She is comfortable and eating and drinking well. The home itself is quite small but cosy and homely. The care staff are kind and friendly as well as respectful to all the residents and their visitors.
