The Review Score of 7.6 (maximum of 10) for Hopes Green Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 14 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Hopes Green Care Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 4.482 for Hopes Green Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (91 Excellents x 5) + (67 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.482
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 3.1 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hopes Green Care Home is based on 1 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 = 3
Target of 10 positive Reviews (50 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 1 Reviews ÷ 10 Target = 0.100
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Hopes Green Care Home has a Review Score of 7.6 (7.582) from 14 Reviews

My mother has been in Hopes Green Care Home for 2 and a half years. I have been very pleased with the attitude of the staff in all respects. Their treatment of residents and family alike. If I had concerns, they are always addressed. Staff retention seems to be good as far as I am aware. Agency staff are not used, which to me is important. I have recently recommended the home for a friends mother, she has been there for several months and is very happy. She has all the facilities and would speak up if need be whereas my mother has dementia and can't.

I couldn't have wished for a better place for my mum to go into. It is always a very difficult decision for a family to make and it has given all of us a great deal of comfort plus peace of mind to know that mum is safe and cared for by genuine and kind people is all we could ask for.
I live in Spain so I don't haver to worry about mum as much as I did when she was struggling to cope at home alone.

My mum has settled well at Hopes Green & has been here about 3 months, previously she was at another care home (for about 6 weeks) and was so very unhappy so I soon moved her out. Every member of staff here are very caring and good at their jobs. From the manager, who is always available & visible, the cleaners, the handyman is fabulous and works so hard, the activities lady, the ladies in the laundry & of course the carers. The place is well decorated, clean (occasionally there are nasty whiffs but it doesn't take long before a big carpet washer is out to deal with that) & comfortable. We have been able to furnish mum's room as we like & it is just like home for her :-)
When I have been there at meal times the food looks good, the dining room is nice bright & clean with facilities to make tea & coffees for yourself and residents. I particularly like the sweet cart for the residents to help themselves from.

Very lucky to get Mum in just before Christmas after a stay in Hospital. All staff have been very friendly, caring and helpful. Mum has settled in straight away and appears happy and is always smiling, and has not asked about going home.

The home provides excellent care for my mother who has dementia. I have no reservations in recommending this care home.
The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and sort out any query or problem quickly and efficiently.
I never envisaged my mother needing to be placed into a care home but have been happy and reassured that my mother continues to thrive in this setting.

When curry is on the menu big Saturdays can they do a chicken curry as well as a veg curry. The care of the staff is excellent, very helpful and go that extra mile for things in their care.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Carol (Daughter of Resident) on Tuesday 24 May 2016. Relates to April 2016.
My mum came to Hopes Green for a respite stay because my dad was admitted to hospital. He was struggling to look after her before his op and feel now it is best if she stays here. The staff have been so lovely and so welcoming, they speak nicely to all the residents. The food looks and smells delicious and my mum certainly seems to enjoy it all. She likes to stay in her room mostly and the staff are happy to bring her meals to her.

I can't praise this care home enough, the staff really work hard giving the residents all they need - if a resident is feeling down there is always a member of staff to sit and comfort them. The staff go over and beyond in their care, bringing in special little treats etc. to make the residents feel cared for.
The domestic staff do a good job of keeping everywhere spick and span. Any suggestions for improvement are always taken on board. The management are always available for any queries. Top rate care home!

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Barbara G (Partner of Resident) on Tuesday 10 May 2016. Relates to April 2016.
My partner has been a resident of Hopes Green for 19 months as he has dementia. During this time his behaviour has on occasions, been challenging but the staff have always treated him in a calm, caring and compassionate way. Staff have always kept me informed about his care. The manager is always available to see relatives and is very visible during the day. Although my partner cannot access many of the various activities on offer during the day, he does enjoy listening to the live entertainers. The food is good and there is always a choice of dishes.

In general a good experience. A few minor niggles from time to time. Food not always of a high standard but adequate.

Hopes Green is a very well run care home. My dad is happy to live there and we all like to see him so well cared for. As soon as I visited Hopes Green I could tell I had found a special place. The people who work there, are all very kind and patient. Thank you for looking after dad.
