Review from Andy B (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 16 May 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been extremely happy and pleased with the care my Father-in-law has received during his time at Farnham Common House. The staff have been very friendly, helpful and always taken time to speak to us during visits and contact us regularly if any issues have arisen. Although his condition does
not allow him to express anything he seems to have been very happy at Farnham Common House. It is only his deteriorating condition that has led to his move elsewhere, nothing to do with Farnham Common House.

Review from Martin M (Son of Resident) published on 11 August 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is an excellent care home that goes the extra mile for the residents. It is very well managed and the carers have respect for the management because they are valued, receive good training and like working at Farnham Common House as a result. The activities provided are varied and everything is
done to encourage residents to be independent. The food is good and the accommodation excellent. Whenever there are any issues, however small it might be, it is dealt with quickly and effectively. I really feel the level of care for my Mum to be excellent.

Review from Jenny L (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 7 August 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I wanted to let people know how wonderful Farnham House is.
My nan lived there and was so well looked after, all her needs were met and she was treated so well.
The staff are incredible, really caring and supportive and non-stop care at that.
Nan was happy there, the staff really cared about her,
always kept an eye on her and made sure she was OK.
I wanted to say such a huge thank you, to you all, it is such a tough job, and you do it with a smile on your faces, you are all angels, and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. You looked after Nan so well.
You tried to get her to join in with activities, but I know she didn't like that very much, but you never forced her, she could do as she wished.
Her room was lovely, clean, fresh and space for her things.
All the staff are friendly, always ready for a chat when we visited, and as I say, always with smiles.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.625)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.625) out of 10 for Farnham Common House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 9 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 4.825 for Farnham Common House is calculated as follows: ( (86 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 103 Ratings = 4.825
  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 Farnham Common House is based on 9 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 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 = 3.9
    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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 10 = 0.9
  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.
