Review from Mike (Son of Resident) published on 13 November 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Review from Alexander R (Husband of Resident) published on 10 October 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
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.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.814)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.814) out of 10 for Frintondene Residential Care Home for Elderly is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.814 for Frintondene Residential Care Home for Elderly is calculated as follows: ( (109 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 129 Ratings = 4.814
  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 Frintondene Residential Care Home for Elderly is based on 11 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 8 registered maximum number of service users is 1.6, which has been reached with 11 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.
