Wonderful welcome and highly uplifting experience throughout the visit. All the team at Applegarth are warm, helpful and couldn't do enough for us. Our friend as a resident is extremely settled and feels the same way.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

My partner has been in Applegarth since September 2019 and had been there twice before for respite. He was extremely difficult when he first went there as he did not want to be there and just wanted to come home. There was no other option but for him to be there for his own safety. The staff handled
him with such patience. At long last, he has settled down and I cannot praise the staff enough in how they have handled him. Applegarth is not "posh" but it is homely which is what you want for your relatives.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Although I have no other care homes to compare with, I can say the following:
My Dad has been resident for around 15 years.
Applegarth has looked after him extremely well.
My dad's physical health has improved to as good a level as could be expected.
My dad's mental health has improved beyond belief.
He
is happy and feels safe.
He has some wonderful friends which include other residents and staff.
From a personal point of view, I do not worry about him.
I know if I need to be informed of any situation I receive a call promptly.
I am well received when I visit dad (around 4 times a week).
Brilliant.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.785)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.785) out of 10 for Applegarth Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.785 for Applegarth Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (253 Excellents x 5) + (58 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 316 Ratings = 4.785

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Applegarth Care Home is based on 27 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 20 registered maximum number of service users is 4, which has been reached with 27 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
