The Review Score of 9.4 out of 10 for St John's Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 5 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for St John's Home in Google's Search Results – more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 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 4.695 for St John's Home is calculated as follows: ( (44 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 59 Ratings = 4.695
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 24 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 48 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 provider 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; 3.00 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 24 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 48 months. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 4.658 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St John's Home is based on 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows:
3.00 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 7.6 positive Reviews (38 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 5 Reviews ÷ 7.6 Target = 0.658
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
St John's Home has a Review Score of 9.4 (9.353) out of 10 and an Average Rating of 4.7 out of 5 from 5 Reviews over all time
Review submitted on 27 August 2018 from a Website Submission by Stuart M (Friend of Resident). on Monday 27 August 2018 . Relates to June 2018.
I was a close friend of a lady who lived at St John's for two years until she passed away in June 2018. St John's is truly an amazing place. The building and grounds are beautiful - a totally unexpected oasis in an Oxford residential area - but it's the staff that made the place stand out compared to other homes I've known. The care and love they had for my friend (who could be difficult sometimes!) was far beyond what I could have dreamed of. There is something about this place, the staff seem to really enjoy their work. I have nothing but praise for both the management and the carers alike.

So far as I can tell, the care at St John's is exemplary. The general atmosphere is relatively informal and friendly, management is low-key but effective, while the care itself is positive and respectful. Staff in every department work purposefully yet never seem too busy to attend to matters as they arise. I particularly commend the senior staff who manage the immediate health and welfare of residents: one couldn't ask for more skill or dedication, undertaken with such cheerful willingness. Staff are always around so that residents' needs are usually met promptly, and there is a pro-active timetable of regular, individual room visits as well as communal activities and celebrations. The home is very convenient for public transport etc., while the building and garden provide a beautiful context for living here. However, the lack of en-suite facilities is, no doubt, a disadvantage that would put off some potential residents. The food is rather ordinary on the whole.

The home is immaculate and the staff are so helpful, caring and kind. My sister loves it there and looks better than I have seen her look in years. The home keeps me well informed of any events etc even though I live in Yorkshire. It is a fabulous home.

Review submitted on 27 March 2017 from a Postal Card by Lara G (Volunteer). on Monday 27 March 2017 . Relates to January 2017.
I've been volunteering at St John's for about five months and it's made a really good impression on me.
I spend a lot of time talking to the residents and they seem really happy with the quality of care, entertainment (films, quizzes, bingo)food etc.
I think the most important thing is that the residents feel comfortable and happy and everyone at St John's is really trying to achieve this.
Because of this I have really loved my time volunteering and getting to know the lovely and interesting people at St John's.
