Review from Michael D (Son of Resident) published on 29 October 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Every time we visit mum, she is always clean and tidy. She says the food is good, and when we are there it always smells appetising. There has never been any horrible smell from any of the residents, or the home. Some of the ones that we visited, we couldn't wait to get out. We are always offered tea/coffee.
Staff are all very friendly and helpful to mum, who can be difficult at times. We are really happy for her to be there.

Review from Jackie S (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 October 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother lived alone in Manchester and was deteriorating slowly. I had been looking at care homes since August 2014, when I met the manager of Moulsham Home. Straight away with no appointment she took me around, I felt welcome. Mum was moved to the home in March 2015, it was a very difficult time for
her, they made the transition so welcoming and were excellent with my mother who took quite a while to settle. The carers met her needs and support her through it, also us as a family were supported through it too. Nothing is too much trouble. The kitchen staff always make us feel welcome with cups of tea. I would definitely recommend Moulsham for its love and care they have shown my mum who now has settled and happy.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.800)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.800) out of 10 for Moulsham Home 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.800 for Moulsham Home is calculated as follows: ( (212 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 250 Ratings = 4.8
  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 Moulsham Home is based on 21 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 37 registered maximum number of service users is 7.4, which has been reached with 21 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.
