Review from Tracey D (Friend of Resident) published on 4 March 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been visiting this care home over a number of years and seen around four owners come and go but not one has put their blood, sweat and tears along with an awful lot of investment into it like the new owners have and I felt I wanted to say well done! I really don’t think they have stopped to draw
breath in the 2-3 years they have owned it and I feel credit where credit is due and so wanted to leave this honest review.
The rooms are lovely and bright and everywhere feels homely, the staff always have time to talk and are always very kind and caring, nothing is too much trouble. The food is excellent and everywhere is always very clean and tidy. There are plenty of activities for the residents to choose to do if they wish or they can sit and listen to music, the choice is theirs. I have noticed that with all the improvements the new owners have made the ladies and gents that live at Greenbanks seem to be a lot happier in themselves and have all remarked how they like all the changes.

Review from L G (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 February 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum is very well looked after at Greenbanks. Whilst chatting to her about the review she said she cannot fault anything about the place or the staff. Her dementia causes her to be a little anxious at times, especially at night and the carers cope very well with this. As soon as I come in to see Mum,
the staff update me with her general mood and anything she might need. I can feel assured knowing she is safe, happy and well.

My mother went into this care home as she could not safely live on her own any more. At first, she was unsure of where she was and her surroundings. The staff here were so kind to her and soon made her feel at home and I felt that she was treated as an individual. She has a nice room with her own toilet
and handbasin. I phone her every day and the staff are always helpful and informative.

Review from Stephen S (Son of Resident) published on 28 August 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Having visited several homes in the area, Greenbanks came across as less clinical and more family orientated, offering a friendlier approach to the care home environment.
My 92 year old mother has settled well, the staff are all helpful and friendly. With the obvious investment being placed into the
home I am glad I chose them.

Very warm welcome when we arrive with all the information on my mum's welfare. Eating, drinking, health and behaviour any activities mum has been involved in since our last visit. Beautifully clean and rooms are bright and lovely furniture in clean spacious surroundings.

This home has improved considerably since my mother has been here. She is treated with kindness and dignity and careful attention is paid to her health needs. The staff are always cheerful, even when Mummy is being difficult. They are also doing activities with the residents, but not forcing anyone
to take part. The staff are very good at informing relatives of any problems and are very supportive. I am always made to feel welcome.

Very kind, caring experienced staff. My parents have vastly improved under the staff care. Parents tell me that they are safe, comfortable, cared for, it is very clean in this home 10/10.
They are taken out for lunch on occasions. Entertainers come to the home to amuse them.

The staff are pleasant and help if they are able to help. Considering that many (or most) are of foreign origin they are pleasant and helpful. There is no member of the staff who could be described as difficult!

As a daughter of a resident, I have no worries with Mum continuing to reside here. The staff are helpful, caring and consistent with Mum's needs. They act professionally and act quickly to problems and proactive in all they do. The home is clean and comfortable. Mum's nutritional needs are met and personal
care needs met.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.836)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.836) out of 10 for Greenbanks Care 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.836 for Greenbanks Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (119 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 140 Ratings = 4.836
  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 Greenbanks Care Home is based on 12 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 + 0.1 = 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 19 registered maximum number of service users is 3.8, which has been reached with 12 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.
