Review from Ann W (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 September 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
All of the staff are very caring and attentive to the Residents in my Fathers Unit. I am happy my Father is treated with a lot of respect.


However I am concerned, when on some of my visits I would feel a lot happier to see 2 members of staff on duty at all times and not just one Carer.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.545)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.545) out of 10 for Mill River Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 12 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 4.888 for Mill River Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (128 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.888
  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 4.657 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mill River Lodge is based on 12 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 = 3.8
    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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 14 = 0.857
  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.

Oluwatosin Omisakin

Job Title: Clinical Lead Joined: 2022

My name is Oluwatosin Omisakin, you can call me Tosin. I am the clinical lead at Mill River Lodge, and I assist the service manager in running the home.


I started my nursing career in 2013 in Nigeria and I have garnered a wealth of experience in adult nursing over the years.


I am very passionate about making a difference in residents’ lives and delivering excellent quality care. This resonates with the values of Shaw Healthcare and made me join in March 2022.


It also encouraged me to get a BSc degree (Nursing Science) from the University of Derby in 2022.


I am involved in leading and supporting the nursing team to achieve exemplary care services for our residents, as well as supporting families on their care journey.


Feel free to approach me for a chat.

Cristian Diaconu

Job Title: Service Manager Joined: 2022

I am a seasoned professional in the field of care home management with over 5 years of experience. Before my current role as Service Manager, I served as a Registered General Nurse (RGN) in the A&E department for several years, bringing a wealth of clinical experience with me.


In my previous position, I played a key role in revitalizing a care facility that was facing declining enrollment. Through my dedication and leadership, I successfully increased patient enrollment and elevated general satisfaction levels among existing residents.


My commitment lies in the continual improvement of services offered to care home residents. I am devoted to creating an ideal environment that caters not only to residents but also fosters a welcoming atmosphere for staff, friends, and family, ensuring a holistic and enriching experience for all.
