Review from Tony G (Power of Attorney of Resident) published on 28 November 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This was a short visit to celebrate the resident's birthday. We started with an interview with a senior member of staff (without the presence of the resident) which was very informative and helpful. The resident was cheerful and coherent, which was an improvement from a year ago and she praised the
staff frequently. Due to her immobility, she needs help to move around the home and the staff were excellent in this respect. The lunch was set up to give us some privacy, offered us a good choice of dishes and was really delicious. We were even given a choice of sherry or wine to celebrate the birthday! There always appeared to be a member of staff nearby who could offer help or information. Apart from two really nice presents and a card from the staff at the Home, a birthday cake had been prepared for a celebration later in the afternoon which we were, unfortunately, unable to enjoy with the resident, as we had to return home before it became dark. We really enjoyed our time together.

Review from Jane G (Niece of Resident) published on 17 November 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my mother in law and my aunt are residents at Grenham Bay. My mother in law has been there for 5 years and my aunt for coming up 2 years.
The very best of a home for people unable to care for themselves. Lovely rooms, amazing kind carers.
All the staff are kind and thoughtful. The maintenance
man is the most helpful guy and nothing is too much for him. The kitchen staff/chefs go out of their way to please the residents. The housekeepers keep everything really clean, the one thing that bothered me about care homes was the smell. I can honestly say, that is never the case at Grenham. The senior staff are always available to answer/help you in any way they can.


The manager is kind and approachable at any time. Amazing sense of humour which really makes myself and aunt/ mother in law feel comfortable with him.


I could not be happier with this home. Highly recommended.

Grenham Bay has a great team who really care about their resident's wellbeing. Staff are committed and hard working and activity is at the heart of the care they provide. The home is well led, innovative and forward thinking with regards to how their service can be improved in the future. I have already
referred someone I know to Grenham Bay and will do again.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.303)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.303) out of 10 for Grenham Bay Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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 4.403 for Grenham Bay Court is calculated as follows: ( (81 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 129 Ratings = 4.403
  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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Grenham Bay Court is based on 9 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.9
    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 36 registered maximum number of service users is 7.2, which has been reached with 9 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.
