Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We have recently had to find a home for my father who has dementia. We were very impressed with the family, homely feel of Cross Lane House Care Home. The staff have been very supportive as he settles in. His room is large and overlooks the good-sized garden.

My mother, who is 97, is in this nursing home with undisclosed dementia.
I have been very pleased with the care she receives and the feedback I receive from the staff regarding my mother's well-being.
Staff are very friendly and very caring and she is very happy.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father was lost when my mother passed away and he has received the best of attention and understanding. He also has onset Parkinson's disease and requires special care. These are all taken care of by the fantastic members of the care team. He is comfortable and content.
I would absolutely recommend
Cross Lane House Care Home for the care of your loved ones.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am very happy with the care given to my dad. All the staff are friendly, welcoming and understand my dad’s needs. The manager is great, I feel confident that she will ensure Dad is well looked after and keep me informed of anything I need to be aware of.
I really like the way that all the staff interact
with my dad, they spend time with him, make him laugh and keep his spirits up. Dad feels as though he has a friend and it’s great that she can help him with his mobile phone!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.767)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.767) out of 10 for Cross Lane House 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.767 for Cross Lane House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (94 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.767
  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 Cross Lane House Care Home is based on 10 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 18 registered maximum number of service users is 3.6, which has been reached with 10 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.
