Click to show a breakdown of the Review Score
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 5 for Breton Court is calculated as follows: ( (48 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 5
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. 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.
The 4.464 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Breton Court 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 5.6 positive Reviews (28 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 4 Reviews ÷ 5.6 Target = 0.714
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

The care given to our aunt has been excellent. Living a distance away has been difficult for us but we have been supported in the knowledge that our aunt was in safe hands and cared for in such a lovely home environment. Breton Court is like one large family and nothing is ever too much trouble.

Excellent caring home from home. Our aunt was extremely well cared for during her 3 1/2 years here. Staff are very kind and she was very comfortable. Sadly she recently passed away here but her passing could not have been more dignified, peaceful and comfortable.
