Review from Janet D (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 July 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother came into this home over 10 years ago after a stroke she is now 100.
I'm sure she has survived so long, not just due to her own steely determination, but the care, dedication and friendliness of the staff.
Boars Tye is not only homely in presentation, but in the attitude of the staff who
often go far beyond the call of duty, especially when it comes to activities and fund raising events which are for the residents entertainment fund.
There is also a very low turnover of staff (some being here as long as my mother) which is reassuring not just for the residents but family as well.
I usually visit twice a week and am always greeted by friendly staff who keep me informed about all aspects of her care.

Review from Muriel R (Wife of Resident) published on 21 July 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Having visited a number of care homes in the area I knew, after being in Boars Tye for only a few minutes, that this was where my husband, who has Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, would have good care. The first impressions are of a warm, homely and friendly place in which to live. Nothing appears to be
too much trouble for the staff and one is never made to feel unwelcome at any time. My husband has his favourite pictures and armchair in his room so it feels familiar. I can join him for meals if I so wish and am always offered refreshment when visiting. I am so pleased there was a room available when we needed it!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.834)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.834) out of 10 for Boars Tye House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 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 4.909 for Boars Tye House is calculated as follows: ( (180 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 197 Ratings = 4.909
  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 4.925 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Boars Tye House is based on 17 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 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.925
    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 27 registered maximum number of service users is 5.4, which has been reached with 17 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.
