Click to show a breakdown of the Review Score
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 Ailwyn Hall is calculated as follows: ( (45 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 59 Ratings = 4.746
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. 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.
The 3.885 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ailwyn Hall is based on 3 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 3.5
Target of 7.8 positive Reviews (39 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 3 Reviews ÷ 7.8 Target = 0.385
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

Mum has been at Ailwyn Hall since March 2015. All the staff carers, cleaner, kitchen and maintenance have looked after her with the best care, attention and love that anyone could wish for. They are a superb team, always helpful and supportive to us and nothing was ever a chore to them.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Wendy F (Daughter of Resident) on Friday 20 May 2016. Relates to May 2016.
Dad settled in immediately. The staff have always been very kind, polite, respectful and patient with Dad, friendly and polite to family. Dad himself immediately improved here, becoming brighter in himself. Dad enthusiastically praises his care from all the staff who look after him. Dad has a lovely room, freshly decorated completely before he moved in, allowed to bring any knickknacks, cleaned every day. Dad enjoys his food and is given all he needs. Ailwyn is set in lovely grounds, surrounded by trees. The staff are happy to fetch Dad to his room for family visits, the rest of the time he chooses to be in company with other residents. would like to thank all there for what they do for our Dad.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Kate S (Daughter of Resident) on Wednesday 22 July 2015. Relates to June 2015.
Our mum had a stroke in January this year and was left with vascular dementia with very little insight into her condition and needing residential care.
We visited a number of homes but from the minute we entered Ailwyn Hall, we knew it was the place for mum and we were proved right. The home and all the staff, without exception, were good humoured, homely, friendly, caring and genuinely interested in mum as a person not just another resident. We were encouraged to make her room her own before she was discharged from hospital with her personal photos and things from home and also to let them know mum's life story so that they could talk to her about what was important to her.
Mum's rapid onset of dementia was a shock to us as a family but the manager and staff all helped us to come to terms with the changes and supported us as well as giving excellent care and support to mum. Mum had a large family and many friends and all visitors were welcomed at any time. We were kept updated with how she was and everyone was happy to answer any queries we had.
Mum was understandably worried about the move but settled very quickly and told us often how much she loved her room, the home and the staff, who she said were all angels. She called the lounge 'the room with the nice people'. She was very happy there which gave us all peace of mind.
Mum sadly passed away in June but was very clear she wanted to die in the home where she felt secure and loved rather than in hospital. The manager and staff were excellent in the last few days supporting us and treating mum with so much dignity and respect that we can never thank them enough
