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 4.708 for Lyndhurst Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (17 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.708
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 3.25 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Lyndhurst Residential Home is based on 1 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 = 3
Target of 4 positive Reviews (20 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 1 Reviews ÷ 4 Target = 0.250
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Review submitted from a Postal Card by Katharine B (Niece of Resident) on Thursday 9 March 2017. Relates to February 2017.
Nice friendly staff with a nice day room at the front, very clean. Always offering tea/coffee on arrival. Good attention to residents and nice touch giving a birthday card to my uncle. The only thing I could criticise is that I gave my aunt a birthday present for her birthday which has not been found to this day!

Many thanks for taking the time to send in a kind review for us Katherine. I have passed on the issue surrounding the present to our Deputy Manager and she is going to look into it for you.
Review submitted from a Website Submission by John B (Son of Resident) on Tuesday 8 December 2015. Relates to December 2015.
Mum has now been a resident at Lyndhurst Residential Home for 2 yrs & 8 months and her time spent there has been, on the whole, a very pleasant experience. Mum, like us all, has her good and bad days but generally she appears very happy. This in the main is due to the care and attention given to her by the Lyndhurst staff. My wife & I visit regularly, occasionally at irregular times of the day and evening and have without exception always found mum in good order, clean, well presented and in good spirits. The staff are always very friendly and polite to us, and the residents respond very well to them. The whole house has a very homely feel to it and we always receive a warm welcome from the staff and residents when we visit.
