Review from Trevor B (Relative of Resident) published on 4 December 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My Wife's Aunt moved into Forest view in March 2018. All staff, from Manager, cleaner all treat her with respect and are all very friendly. When visiting, we note care being given to other residents and cannot fault what we see. We, as visitors, always receive a cheerful welcome. We are offered refreshments.
We have not been able to fault care being given to my relative.

Review from A W (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 November 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Forest View has some excellent and caring members of staff. There are some cleaners who also care for residents by chatting to them, leading them to their rooms, looking for lost items and above all being friendly. I don't expect these things are in their job description but it makes a real difference.
Several carers go beyond the call of duty and show great kindness and awareness.

Review from Chris P (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 September 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother is a resident at Forestview and she is extremely happy there and well looked after. I have nothing but appreciation for all the hardworking staff that work there. It's a shame that their efforts can't be rewarded and reflected in their pay packets. For what is a vital service, they don't
get paid nearly enough and for all those staff members that look after my mother, and other residents, at night, I was shocked to discover that they don't get paid any extra for working unsociable hours.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.796)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.796) out of 10 for Forest View 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.796 for Forest View is calculated as follows: ( (230 Excellents x 5) + (52 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 285 Ratings = 4.796
  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 Forest View is based on 24 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 24 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.
