b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 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 4.896 for Bradbury House is calculated as follows: ( (43 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.896
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 4.238 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bradbury 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 8.2 positive Reviews (41 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 4 Reviews ÷ 8.2 Target = 0.488

My mother has been a resident at Bradbury House for six years and during that time, she has been cared for very well. The staff all know their residents and have been together as a team for many years and their commitment shines through.

I am writing this, sadly, following the death of my mother who was a resident at Bradbury House for over three years. My family and I feel very lucky to have found a place where Mum was happy to spend her final years. All the staff and volunteers at Bradbury House did their jobs with care, compassion, skill and genuine kindness and empathy. Mum's last few weeks exemplified this perfectly. The team worked hard and with huge understanding and goodwill to make Mum comfortable and peaceful. They also supported us as a family well; nothing was too much trouble. I cannot recommend Bradbury House highly enough. It is a real community and a home where there is great teamwork and much love. Thank you to everyone who works for and with such a wonderful team.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by T E (Daughter of Resident) on Monday 7 August 2017. Relates to August 2017.
The care my mother received at Bradbury House was exemplary.
The staff were kind and considerate and the food seemed great.
The home even has forums for the residents to discuss their food favourites and what they would like added to or removed from the menus.
The Activity Centre provides entertainment, company and is a wonderful, homely place to be during the day. The gardens are lovely and well cared for.
Residents are free to go where they please and have complete control over their lives if capable to do so.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bradbury House to anyone - indeed I have already done so.
