* Care Quality Commission is responsible for the registration and inspection of social care services in England.
The Review Score of 9.5 (maximum of 10) for Shandon House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 11 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Shandon House in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5 out of 5 from 10 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 4.496 for Shandon House is calculated as follows: ( (82 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.496
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 Shandon House is based on 10 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 5 positive Reviews (25 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 10 Reviews ÷ 5 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.
Shandon House has a Review Score of 9.5 (9.496) from 11 Reviews

I arrived at Shandon House in June 2017. It felt like I imagine Alice falling down the rabbit hole - it took me about a month to settle in. Now, although like all the residents I would rather be in my own home, this home has been very welcoming. The staff are kind, professional and very caring. There is a lot of laughter! I have a very pleasant room and am happy to be here for however much longer.

I have been at Shandon House for 11 and a half years, it is a lovely comfortable home with nice rooms, good food, always a choice its clean and I really feel comfortable, relaxed and happy here and most of all good carers who take care of us. If they have any time they come and have a chat with us which is especially nice if you have no family and no visitors. I am happy I am here.

I found Shandon House to be caring, flexible, responsive to the needs of the user and at all times, helpful in all they did. They worked with the user and me at all times to provide the best quality of care tailored and responsive, to the wishes of the user and their family.

I have only praise for the staff at Shandon House. They have been proactive and sensitive to the needs of my very elderly Grandmother.
The staff are accessible and friendly and have made her feel welcome.
She enjoys the social activities which the home arranges.

As a family, we feel extremely lucky that mum was offered a place in Shandon House, initially temporary but it has turned out to be permanent. She is treated with friendship, care, respect and professionalism and is very happy. The food is great! It doesn't matter what time we turn up, we are always welcome. The staff are kind, attentive and well trained. She has a cosy room and the communal areas are clean and comfortable. There is a wide range of activities for her to do too. Many thanks!

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Wayne (Son of Resident) on Wednesday 7 February 2018. Relates to December 2017.
My mother went into Shandon House for respite while I was on holiday. When I returned she was so happy there that she decided to make it permanent.
The home is clean and tidy. The daily menu was to a high standard with plenty of choice.
The staff were professional and friendly. Nothing was to much trouble.
Over time, my mother deteriorated due to her many health issues and it was her wish to remain there if at all possible. The staff went above and beyond to give my mother her wish until she slipped away.
I would certainly recommend Shandon House to anyone requiring care.
I can't thank them enough for all they done for my mother whilst in their care.

Although the care provided is substantial, there is certainly room for improvement. The care home was lacking in communicating with me and on several occasions didn’t carry out my requests. For instance, my friend had a couple of falls and I wasn’t notified.
