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.

The Average Rating of 4.083 for Hillcrest Care Home - Larchwood Care Group is calculated as follows: ( (5 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.083

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.

Both parents are resident in this care home. I have always found the staff to be helpful and caring and polite. They always inform me if there are any problems. The home is clean though a little dated in decor. They do their very best to provide entertainment and frequently have parties and themed meals.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Sarah N (Daughter of Resident) on Sunday 12 November 2017. Relates to November 2017.
My mother has lived at Hillcrest for 3 years and during that time we have been able to make mums room lovely and cosy, repainting in the colours that she chose, getting her a lovely comfy bed and armchair, bringing lots of things from her home so that her surroundings are familiar to her, so important to a person with Dementia. Her room is like a little bedsit with her own fridge and kettle so that she can still 'entertain' guests. Mum had always had dogs and cats and felt very sad and lonely when she arrived, the Registered Manager recognised this and knew of an elderly cat who needed a home so she arranged for the cat to come to Hillcrest and asked mum to 'look after' her; she now lives with mum in her room. The manager knows all her residents and genuinely enjoys spending time with them and her staff have worked really hard to ensure that the home has a lovely atmosphere. Relatives are free to come and go at any time, share meals with their loved ones and be part of their lives.
