The Review Score of 8.6 (maximum of 10) for Bellstone Residential Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 4 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Bellstone Residential Care Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 2 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
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 4.896 for Bellstone Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (43 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.896
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. 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.
The 3.705 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bellstone Residential Care Home is based on 2 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 = 3.25
Target of 4.4 positive Reviews (22 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 2 Reviews ÷ 4.4 Target = 0.455

Bellstone is a residential care home near Felixstowe seafront.
My mother has been in the home for more than 6 years and in that time, both the management and staff have always taken great care of her.
I would always highly recommend the Bellstone.

We are blessed to have found Bellstone Residential Care Home for my mother. It is very clean, comfortable and the residents are well looked after. It is an open house so you can visit any time with no appointments necessary. You become part of the family in there and always made welcome. My mum is very settled and hasn't looked as good for a long time. They also have visiting singers, bands, animals and go to the spa pavilion for shows. Many activities are done by the staff who keep the residents upbeat. We would highly recommend Bellstone Residential Care Home if you are looking for a place for your loved one. Go and have a chat with them and see for yourself.

The care home has been wonderful to my auntie, she is getting on so well and is so much better since being in care now coping with her bank finances herself, so I am just helping but she is in control again.
