Latest Care Quality Commission* Report on The Corner House: click here
* Care Quality Commission is responsible for the registration and inspection of social care services in England.
The Review Score of 9.9 (maximum of 10) for The Corner House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 40 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for The Corner House in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5 out of 5 from 31 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 4.864 for The Corner House is calculated as follows: ( (421 Excellents x 5) + (51 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 479 Ratings = 4.864
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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Corner House is based on 31 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 11.4 positive Reviews (57 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 31 Reviews ÷ 11.4 Target Reached = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
The Corner House has a Review Score of 9.9 (9.864) from 40 Reviews

My uncle was very ill and depressed when he entered the home, they have worked tirelessly to get him out of bed and walking about and mixing with the other residents, he is really happy and contented and he has gained over 10kgs since being admitted and the food and care are exceptional.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by V C (Resident) on Tuesday 13 March 2018.
I have been very surprised and happy with the whole experience of my short stay in this home. Without any exception, I have found all the carers to be polite, tactful, considerate and friendly in their approach to me and the physical care is dignified and efficient. In particular, the efforts made to provide distraction and enjoyment are excellent and it is unfortunate that so many residents are unable to respond with more comprehensive and/or enthusiasm. I would have appreciated large type display, date, day and time in the lounge.

What a wonderful experience visiting my nan at The Corner House was.
Staff were so welcoming and decor is warm and welcoming.
Nan was busy arranging flowers when I arrived and said there is always plenty to do.
I look forward to attending the bazaar.

I arrived at Corner House having broken my leg in three places below the knee at aged 93 years. My leg was in a cast and I had spent several weeks in hospital, then sent home with a care package in place which was not successful.
I became very tired and low in mood. When I was in Corner House I felt genuinely cared for, encouraged to have physio and received nothing but the best care at all times.
I am sorry to leave.

What a lovely home Corner House is to visit.
I have been going to Corner House for a long time and have seen throughout that time hard work and dedication from the staff!
The residents are put first and the home is like a little community of its own.
Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a home for their relatives or friends.

Since the new manager and assistant manager have taken over, there has been a marked improvement. My Dad's room is now always clean and tidy, there was a problem with cleanliness in his room, after pointing this out to the new management it was rectified and there have been no more problems.
My Dad is so well looked after, the care staff cannot be more kind and helpful nothing is too much trouble. He is very happy and loves all the activities and is encouraged to join in, there is always something going on, ie social afternoons, evenings, music, carpet bowls, bingo, occasional outings and lots more. Also, the meals are excellent and there is always snacks, teas and coffees available day and night.
My Dad has been a resident for almost 2 years and couldn't be happier, and we as a family can rest assured that he is safe and comfortable with lots of friends to keep him company, such peace of mind is priceless. Thank you to all the lovely staff and management of Cornerhouse.

This home is one of the best I have seen, the staff always look and perform professionally. The food is of hotel quality. The activities are to suit the residents. They have an open week once a quarter packed full of events, all about embracing community spirit. The management team are visible and efficient, always listen and act fast. The dream team idea is great. Good quality care with a warm family atmosphere.
