Review from Lisa S (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 October 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can't thank the staff enough for the support and caring for dad. Dad has complex needs but you gave him to confidence to go things he doesn't usually do. Dad doesn't usually go out so the care you gave him made it so easy for him to adjust and fit in. Such a great team. Nothing was ever too much and
we thank you. I'm sure dad will need respite again and I would always pick your care home for respite.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The manager and staff at Tamar House couldn't have done more to ensure that my mother is given loving care on a daily basis. She has now been at Tamar House for six months and has settled well into the lovely community here. She is treated with dignity and respect, and as much as possible, the manager
and staff have created a homely environment to live in. I have also witnessed other residents being treated in the same way on my frequent visits. The activities provided on a daily basis provide the engagement and contact she very much needs. Moving your Mum into a care home is one of the hardest things you ever have to do, but I know I can rest easy knowing she is secure and being well looked after.

The care my husband received during the last months of his illness was excellent. The staff cared not just for him but for us as a family also. We cannot commend them highly enough.

Such a lovely care home, the staff are all amazing and always very attentive to everyone’s needs. Mum is really happy there, she loves the food, and all the lovely activities which are always taking place. She has improved so much since living there, she has made good friends with residents and has
a great rapport with staff too. It is a very happy place and always has a lovely atmosphere when we visit. Great to see residents are encouraged to carry out their hobbies e.g. mum has always loved her garden so she has been doing lots in their beautiful garden. Highly recommended!

Review from Ron R (Brother of Resident) published on 17 May 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Wonderfully, caring team, activity’s and entertainment are very good. The food is excellent with a good variety with an excellent breakfast. The garden is an excellent feature and enjoyed by the residents in the summer months. The car parking is rather limited, but the location in the town makes it
great to be able to take residents for a walk on the prom and pier. Birthday party’s and Christmas/Easter celebrations are excellent and enjoyed by all the residents with updates given on social media.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.238)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.238) out of 10 for Tamar House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Tamar House is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5
  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 3.238 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tamar House is based on 1 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 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 = 3
    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 21 registered maximum number of service users is 4.2. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 4.2 = 0.238
  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.
