Corner House is a home from home. I have always been invited to join with meals and staff are all lovely. I enjoy visiting my friend and often take part in activities. My friend has a new lease of life since moving on and we have so much to talk about now

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

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.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.815)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.815) out 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 4.8 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.815 for The Corner House is calculated as follows: ( (266 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 319 Ratings = 4.815

  • b) 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 27 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 27 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
