Click to show a breakdown of the Review Score
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 4.938 for Alde House is calculated as follows: ( (45 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.938
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. 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.
The 3.838 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Alde House is based on 2 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 = 3.25
Target of 3.4 positive Reviews (17 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 2 Reviews ÷ 3.4 Target = 0.588
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Review submitted from a Postal Card by Shan F (Daughter of Resident) on Thursday 19 January 2017. Relates to August 2016.
Our mother lived contentedly at Alde House for 6 years until her death in August 2016. It has a very homely feel to it (no hint of an institution) and is beautifully clean, orderly and peaceful. The lounge, with its large windows looking out onto the garden is a particularly lovely and spacious area in which to relax. The recently improved garden is beautiful and perfect for visiting friends and relatives to enjoy with their loved ones, especially since the addition of its wonderful new wooden "arbour" area. The manager could not be more welcoming, friendly, helpful and approachable. The head carer is very kind, calm and knowledgeable. The rest of the staff are lovely too, rather like an extended family. Lunches are delicious and social events are always a real pleasure to attend. It is very reassuring to know that the committed Board of Trustees always has the best interests of the residents at heart. Alde House is a very special place.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Gill W (Daughter of Resident) on Tuesday 10 January 2017. Relates to November 2016.
My father was carefully assessed before being offered a place. He was made very welcome and nothing was too much trouble for members of staff. Family and visitors were made to feel very welcome. My father was treated with dignity and respect. He was closely monitored and appropriate medical intervention was sought whenever necessary. The manager and staff were extremely helpful at the end of my father's life. I don't feel they could have done any more to make his short stay more comfortable and peaceful.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Sally H (Daughter of Resident) on Monday 14 December 2015. Relates to April 2015.
I did a review before while my mum was alive, this one relates to the great care my mother received while she was dying and the care my sister and I received during this difficult time, we were all well looked after by caring thoughtful staff. Mummy died in what for two years had been her home, she liked the companionship, her room with her own furniture, she seemed to feel safe and comfortable .
The home is nice and small and feels as much like a home as it can be. I would highly recommend it.

My mother became a resident in August 2015. The manager and staff made her feel so welcome, their care and attention is exceptional.
When visiting Mum it is very apparent the staff love their job, they have time for everyone, nothing is ever too much trouble. The food is exceptional, it's the first thing my Mum tells everyone when they visit. The home is always very clean and their are never any unpleasant odours lurking around.
