The Review Score of 9.3 (maximum of 10) for Richard Cox House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 4 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Richard Cox House in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 4 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 4.896 for Richard Cox House is calculated as follows: ( (43 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.896
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 4.44 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Richard Cox House is based on 4 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 3.75
Target of 5.8 positive Reviews (29 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 4 Reviews ÷ 5.8 Target = 0.690
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

My mother has been a resident at Richard Cox for over three years. In that time she has always been treated respectfully. The care is of a very good standard. The carers treat my mother as an individual and they are very patient with her. The management communicates with my brother and I regularly to inform us of any change, however small.
The home is welcoming and maintained to a good standard.

My mother has been resident in Richard Cox House for over 3 years now and I am very happy with the care she receives. I am always informed of all her doctor and other visits and any medication change or other concerns.
The staff are professional and attentive and engage with all residents with compassion. There is also always a happy and cheerful welcome for any visitors.
The food is excellent and nutritious.
This is a well managed home and I am grateful that my mother is living here.
