  • Pax Hill Elderly Mentally Frail Unit, Farnham
Pax Hill’s Elderly Mentally Frail Unit is a dementia specialist home, purpose-built for the very specific needs of those in the earlier stages of Alzheimer's and other dementias.

The building has been completely refurbished during 2018 and is effectively a brand new care home. Care and attention have been spent on details to provide benefits for residents in the early stages of dementia.

Structured activities are part of daily life and the environment supports the aim of providing an interesting and supportive living space for people with cognitive issues. The EMF wings' qualified care staff offer 24-hour residential care. The Manager and her deputy have years of experience in this field.

Set in the grounds of the larger nursing home and Baden Powell’s old house, the EMF wing benefits from its own enclosed, sensory garden accessible to residents.

All the bedrooms have en-suite facilities with large windows and views of the surrounding fields. Some have access to an enclosed patio area, some have a large balcony. The living, dining and activity areas are open, light environments where residents can join in with activities or observe others. There is a residents bar, library, cinema area and sweet shop. Communal areas are in different parts of the home providing choice for individual requirements.

Visitors are welcome at any time.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been at Pax Hill for eighteen months and has received every aspect the most exceptional care. The staff are friendly, efficient and caring. The activities are excellent but it would be better if they were available more often.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.761) out of 10 for Pax Hill Elderly Mentally Frail Unit 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 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 4.911 for Pax Hill Elderly Mentally Frail Unit is calculated as follows: ( (156 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.911
  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 4.85 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Pax Hill Elderly Mentally Frail Unit is based on 14 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 = 3.85
    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 39 registered maximum number of service users is 7.8, which has been reached with 14 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.
