The Review Score of 9.7 (maximum of 10) for Springkell House Care 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 20 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Springkell House Care Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5 out of 5 from 12 positive Reviews in the last 12 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 4.746 for Springkell House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (183 Excellents x 5) + (53 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 240 Ratings = 4.746
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. 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.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Springkell House Care Home is based on 12 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 7 positive Reviews (35 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 12 Reviews ÷ 7 Target Reached = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Springkell House Care Home has a Review Score of 9.7 (9.746) from 20 Reviews

I always joked with my wife that she would go into Spirngkell House Care Home if she got like her mother and unfortunately she did.
My wife worked at Springkell House after putting her mother in here because it was so much better than homes locally. She worked nights with a lady who is now the manager.
This is a wonderful home although nearly 40 miles from where I live. The staff, food and atmosphere are really great. They greet you as soon as you arrive and make you very welcome.

I am entirely satisfied with the care my aunt receives at Springkell House. The staff are kind, respectful and caring, not only towards the residents but also to each other. I have always found their dedication to what can be difficult and challenging work, exemplary. The home itself is always warm with a cozy, gentle atmosphere and provides very much a home from home atmosphere. The rooms are lovely and always clean and tidy. The food is excellent!

Over 5 years of care here for my mother and it is still excellent. The staff are happy and smiling. The residents are happy and smiling. Everyone is well looked after. Visitors made welcome. The door is always 'open'. The staff look after my mother like she is their mother and best of all, I don't have to worry about her. She is at home.

This review relates to the last 12 months. I have visited Springkell House Care Home on numerous occasions over the last year - almost once a week. My mother has always been well dressed and quite happy - obviously well cared for. The carers are excellent and all of them treat her as a real person. Her hygiene and personal appearance are looked after in a first-class manner. She never complains and is always very happy in the environment. Her appetite is very good and the food provided is very good. Her room is comfortable and always clean and tidy. The whole house is extremely clean. The activities provided are many and varied. We have been lucky to find such a clean, comfortable and caring environment.

I am constantly impressed with the staff of Springkell House. They go the extra mile to ensure the residents are well cared for and treated in a dignified manner. They are cheerful and always approachable should I need any assistance for my mother. She is really happy at Springkell House and we are really happy to have found such a well managed and caring home for her.

Pleased to say this is a very well run care home, in very pleasant surroundings. I go to the home once a week to visit and have to be let in. It could be a different person from the last one, which makes no difference as it is always with a very welcoming smile. This immediately is a good sign all the staff get on well together and are always ready to help one another.

The staff were extremely good providing a friendly, caring service. The communal rooms are limited on space but the private room was clean, freshly decorated and spacious. The home coped with the increasing needs and provided all the equipment needed to make the final weeks as comfortable as possible.

I was delighted to have found such a lovely care home for my mother. The staff were always helpful and friendly and sensitive to my mother's needs. The standard of care was excellent. When my mother died everything was handled very compassionately and professionally. The home had a nice homely atmosphere I would not hesitate to recommend this home.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Carolyn T (Daughter of Resident) on Tuesday 23 August 2016. Relates to June 2016.
Always welcomed by smiling staff who are very courteous. Parents kindly cared for; the beds are always clean and fresh and help given unfailingly with everyday necessities. The standard of food is excellent and regular small tasty snacks given. (very important not to over feed the elderly with food but they often need encouragement to eat) It is good to see regular staff to build relationships with and so feel confident that one's vulnerable parents are being well looked after and cared for. I would highly recommend Springkell House for its sensitivity in the care of dementia sufferers.

Dad came to Springkell in March this year 2016 and he settled in quickly. He came from a home which catered for fewer residents, and he enjoys the company, a plus factor that has improved his night-times. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and caring. Dad loves the food, the catering is excellent, he enjoys his cuppa and piece of cake in the afternoons.
The manager is helpful and informative, nothing is too much trouble. They deserve their CQC status.

Mum has been at Springkell for almost six years and throughout this time the care that she has received has been exceptional. All the staff understand her needs and deal with them as appropriate. Overall mum is as happy as can be expected!
I would not hesitate to recommend to others. Prior to mum moving to Springkell my brother and I visited numerous homes and needless to say, Springkell came out tops and we have not been disappointed in our decision.

My mother has been at Springkell House nearly 3 years now, and is very happy there. The staff are all very caring and friendly, both to my mother and to me, and I can see she relates well to them. Nothing is too much trouble for them, and they are like an extended part of our family now!
Springkell has a very homely, happy and peaceful atmosphere, the decor is bright and colourful, with lots of reminiscent pictures etc around. Residents are well cared for, with individual likes/dislikes known and respected. There are some lovely activities, and the excellent food completes a great experience!

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Glenys S (Daughter of Resident) on Friday 30 October 2015. Relates to October 2015.
My "mum" has had the best possible care over the last 2 years she was at Springkell. She was always treated with dignity, compassion and superb care. We were always welcome to visit at any time and always found the atmosphere brilliant. The staff were caring and treated everyone with dignity, compassion and sometimes a much needed sense of humour. Pets were welcome too. The last couple of months my "mum" was bedridden and by the doctors advice and my consent she was treated with palliative care. Her care at the end of a long and happy life was impeccably provided by all at Springkell - she died peacefully and with dignity for which I thank everyone at Springkell, but special thanks to the manager and carers. Thank you all.
