I do not understand why my aunt does not have hearing aids - these are free under the National Health for OAPs.
Also, her lower legs were bare and looked cold.
In general, all seemed fine and she is wonderful for her age.
Reply from Yash, Manager at The Corner House

Thank you for your review.
Your Aunt has lived with us at The Corner House for over 6 Years making it her home.
We purchased special socks on the recommendation from a Healthcare Professional. Her legs have since improved dramatically so they are no longer a requirement. The Carers in the morning respect your aunt's choice as to whether she would like to wear the socks. Fortunately, the temperature is always very warm within the Home and she chooses not to at times.
We understand your sentiments about the hearing aids. Now the District Nurses have finished an investigation and treating a health problem relating to her ears, we have requested the audiologist to revisit regarding her hearing aid.
Aunty is very happy and content with living at The Corner House and we hope this continues, as per our recent conversation. We look forward to seeing you all soon.

What a lovely home. My dad has been a resident for three years and this year celebrated his 100th birthday. The staff couldn't do enough for him to make his birthday special. Even having a special cake made. There is always a lovely atmosphere when I visit and the food offered is amazing. Everyone goes
above and beyond to make the residents' stay so pleasurable and comfortable with lots of activities.

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.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.878)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.878) out of 10 for The Corner 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 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.878 for The Corner House is calculated as follows: ( (343 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 386 Ratings = 4.878
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Corner House is based on 33 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 + 0.1 = 4
    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 57 registered maximum number of service users is 11.4, which has been reached with 33 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.
