Review from Penny L (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 November 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my elderly mum, who has Alzheimers, moved to St Christophers in May 2014 she has gained a new lease of life. The staff are kind, caring and professional and treat my mum with great dignity and respect. They see the real person that she is and do not talk down to her. My mum has been able to
take up drawing and flower arranging again as well as other craft activities. She had given up all her hobbies while living alone at home. Her physical and medical needs are well cared for, which gives me great peace of mind. I always feel comfortable visiting her - little things like seeing her always being well dressed and watching her laugh over a game of Rummikub make a huge difference. I'm always welcome, no matter what time I visit, and staff always have time to talk to me. They serve us tea and cake so we can sit and chat in her room. The rooms are kept clean and warm and attractive, and my mum's room always looks how I would like it to be, with her personal pictures and furniture. The entertainment staff do a wonderful job with trips out, so that I've even been able to go to Windsor Castle with my mum, and with lots of activities indoors. Making the decision to help my mum move to residential care was one of the hardest decisions I have made, but St Christophers has been the best place I could have imagined for her.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.786)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.786) out of 10 for St Christopher's 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 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 4.986 for St Christopher's is calculated as follows: ( (139 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 141 Ratings = 4.986
  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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St Christopher's is based on 12 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 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.8
    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 25 registered maximum number of service users is 5, which has been reached with 12 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.
