The Review Score of 9.1 (maximum of 10) for Frintondene is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 4 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Frintondene in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 4 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 4.333 for Frintondene is calculated as follows: ( (20 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.333
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 4.75 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Frintondene is based on 4 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 3.75
Target of 1.6 positive Reviews (8 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 4 Reviews ÷ 1.6 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.
Frintondene has a Review Score of 9.1 (9.083) from 4 Reviews
Review submitted from a Website Submission by Mike (Son of Resident) on Friday 10 November 2017. Relates to August 2017.
My father was resident at Frintondene for 5 years until his death in August. He chose this home as it was small, well managed and convenient to the sea, gardens and the town. For 4 years he was quite independent, able to go out on his mobility scooter and generally look after himself. Following a stroke, he lost mobility as well as sight and hearing problems. Throughout his stay his needs were met; a quiet, private man he did not like a lot of interaction with other residents and preferred to eat in his room. The staff were always most accommodating providing the level of care he needed without being overbearing. Towards the end when life became very difficult the team there went out of their way to make him comfortable and to offer him more than just care. He particularly liked the stability of the staffing with few changes over the 5 years. From our point of view, we always thought he was safe, happy, well cared for and we were always made welcome whenever we visited.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Alexander R (Husband of Resident) on Monday 9 October 2017. Relates to November 2016.
The home looked after my wife over a five year period with care and compassion and though I popped in at any time of the day, unannounced I never found anything remiss. There was a family atmosphere that made the place feel like home.
I was lucky to find a place whose values and culture was so close to our own. It made leaving one's wife in the care of others so much less of a pain.

This is a small care home but benefits by being more friendly and personal, rather than the much larger care homes with more sophisticated facilities. For my mother who has now been there for some 4 months, this an asset as she prefers to be comfortable and quiet.
Medical, personal and pastoral needs seem to be met very well and her room, while fairly basic, is warm, light, airy and comfortable and she has all her own personal bits in it for familiarity. Being so near the Greensward and the beach is very pleasant and handy. Overall, she seems very happy.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by James J (Son of Resident) on Monday 9 October 2017. Relates to October 2017.
The staff at Frintondene always seem to be very friendly and attentive to both the residents and relatives. My Mother is always confortable every time I pop in without prior notice and I believe is being very well cared for. I am confident my Mother is always shown respect and gentle care and her dignity is always preserved. I never feel concerned about any aspect of her care at the home and when I leave I feel confident and relieved she is in very safe hands.
