Staff work well as a team and put Mum's needs first. Cheerful, approachable, happy, considerate, caring. Mum finds Christmas difficult and the staff recognise this and help her.

Review from Alison G (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 November 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Goldenley is a friendly and welcoming care home. The staff are extremely efficient and caring towards their residents. They are very aware of the individual needs of everyone. All residents are treated with dignity, respect and friendliness. As a family, we all are made to feel welcome and can visit
my mum whenever we want to and at any time of the day. We are always kept informed about the needs and requirements of my mum and are always invited to any meetings or care plan discussions.


Staff go out of their way to entertain and stimulate the residents - from keep fit, to craft activities to sing a longs (if the resident wants to participate of course!) Goldenley is a lovely place and we feel very lucky that Mum is cared for, cherished and kept safe in this warm and happy environment.

Review from J B (Son of Resident) published on 10 October 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Since my mother was welcomed into the home some months ago it was a great relief to see how happy and content she was being there and seeing first hand how caring, approachable and professional all the staff are. On one occasions when she became very unwell the response from the care team was second
to none and they looked after her immediate needs until paramedics arrived very impressive! After a visit, it is comforting to know that our parent is being looked after by a great team giving the best care, dignity and compassion in a family atmosphere.

Review from Gary O (Son of Resident) published on 4 January 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I just wanted to register my thanks to all the staff at Goldenley. My mother was cared for there for approximately three and a half years following the death of my father. She had Alzheimer's and although it was very difficult to visit her both practically and emotionally, my family were always impressed
with the care and compassion shown by the staff there. Although our mother was unable to really say how she was treated, we could always see that the staff cared for the people there with patience and dignity, in what must be a very difficult job for them. My mother recently passed away and a member of staff attended the funeral service which was very touching. Thanks again to everyone there.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.937)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.937) out of 10 for Goldenley 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.937 for Goldenley is calculated as follows: ( (179 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 191 Ratings = 4.937
  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 Goldenley is based on 16 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 41 registered maximum number of service users is 8.2, which has been reached with 16 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.
