The staff at Driftwood are so kind and helpful, they do an absolutely brilliant job of looking after my elderly father. There is a lovely, friendly atmosphere and nothing is too much trouble. It's not nice having a parent who needs 24 hour care but it is reassuring to know my father is being cared for
so well. I would definitely recommend Driftwood to anyone else in a similar position.

My friend and ex-neighbour has been a resident at Driftwood House for some time now. The staff have looked after him incredibly well. He is treated with respect and the staff enable the residents to make their own decisions as to how they spend their time. The home went into lockdown as soon as Coronavirus
hit our country - weeks before it became compulsory- to have the best chance of keeping the residents and staff virus free. This has been proven to be the best way as no resident or member of staff has contracted Covid-19. Visitors are allowed to talk to residents through the window or on the phone so they don't feel so isolated. The staff are always helpful and friendly as is the owner and I can't praise them enough for the care and attention they give to their residents

Current Review Score: 8.4 (8.440)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.4 (8.440) out of 10 for Driftwood House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 2 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.958 for Driftwood House is calculated as follows: ( (23 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.958

  • b) 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 3.482 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Driftwood House is based on 2 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 = 3.125

    • ii) 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 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 5.6 = 0.357

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
