The Review Score of 9.9 (maximum of 10) for Montana Care Home Grace and Compassion Benedictines 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 35 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Montana Care Home Grace and Compassion Benedictines in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5 out of 5 from 16 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 4.901 for Montana Care Home Grace and Compassion Benedictines is calculated as follows: ( (378 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 416 Ratings = 4.901
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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Montana Care Home Grace and Compassion Benedictines is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 3.8 positive Reviews (19 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 16 Reviews ÷ 3.8 Target Reached = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

The level of care and compassion all the staff show to residents at Montana Care Home is excellent. Knowing our father is safe, respected and genuinely cared for, gives us great peace of mind.

My father has been resident at Montana for 4 years, having previously recuperated there following an operation.
Whilst a resident, we as a family have been delighted with the level of care, compassion, patience and attention that he has received from the nuns and all other members of staff. During periods of ill-health, he has been cared for exceptionally and the family have been kept well informed at all stages.
Recently, he found difficulty using his shower cubicle and had a larger cubicle installed to ensure that he could safely, and comfortably maintain as much independence and privacy as possible.
During the year Sr and staff organise outings and activities to provide entertainment and to ensure contact with life outside the home.
Family members are welcomed always, as members of an extended family.

Since my father died, the management and staff have done all they can to care for my mother and to help her to adjust. It is most impressive to see that there are rarely any changes of staff, they come across as a very happy and caring team.

I have been a resident in this excellent care home for seven years and have thoroughly recommended it to family, friends and other people. It is well led. Safe, effective, caring and responsive to people's needs. During the summer, one of the residents came here from another care home. She was very poorly much to her family's concern and so much so she was given the last rites and put on end of life care. Thanks to the great love and dedicated care given to her by the manager, sisters and staff, she has made a good recovery and celebrated her 94th birthday recently with her very grateful family. Three years ago another resident came back from the hospital and soon afterwards was put on end of life care. She too has responded well to the great love and dedicated care given to her by the manager, sister and staff and is due to celebrate her 92nd birthday in January.
The manager's door is always open and nothing is too much trouble for her, the sisters and staff. I can thoroughly recommend this care home.

Our now 97-year-old mother had a stroke earlier in the year whilst still living alone and after a 2-month spell in hospitals, transferred to Montana Care Home Grace and Compassion Benedictines to be close to family. What a find by my brother!
The care home is relatively small and provides a very personalised service for our mother. The staff could not be friendlier or more accommodating of her and the family's needs. We feel very happy to have found and secured a place here for our mother and are absolutely confident that she is receiving the best possible care from an environment dedicated to helping others.

My mother in law has lived at Montana for just under a year now and is very happy there. Her mobility issues mean that she would struggle to manage on her own, but the staff are brilliant and care for her exceptionally well. The Sisters are an amazing team, and we have got to know them over the past year. The cheerful friendly and often amusing rapport is a blessing to both the residents and the family, and we thank every member of the home for all they have done and continue to do. The entertainment provided on a regular basis encourages participation for residents and family and friends, and is varied and well organised. A wonderful place to be. Thank you all so much. Bless you.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by S D (Daughter of Resident) on Monday 27 November 2017. Relates to November 2017.
My Mother has been a resident at Montana for a couple of years now. At first, she was obviously a little apprehensive about having to leave her own home, but in no time at all, she had settled in and was enjoying life again. She is extremely happy here and feels so well looked after by the sisters and all the staff. She often tells me how she feels very lucky to be at Montana. She enjoys the various activities that are available, has a lovely room and enjoys the great food. She has recently needed a special diet and honestly, nothing is too much trouble. The Sisters and staff are so kind and attentive and Mum really enjoys their company. From my perspective I can truthfully say that I have never had a moments concern regarding any aspect of her care, it has been outstanding. In short, Montana is like a family and I can't rate it highly enough.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Trevor G (Son of Resident) on Thursday 23 November 2017. Relates to November 2017.
My mother was very happy to choose Montana as her care residence when she became unable to care for herself. From the very beginning, the high standard of care and attention to detail was obvious. Her deteriorating health gave the dedicated staff extra challenges which were gladly met and often surpassed. Despite being bed bound, the sisters and care staff are constantly checking on her well being and including her in various activities and visiting entertainers etc. A regime of thorough documentation and an ongoing personal care in all areas are all provided with a friendly smile.
My previous job took me to several care and nursing homes and I can say that Montana ranks as the best in my opinion in both staffing and atmosphere.

My mother is 91 and has been confined to bed for nearly 2 years. The staff take it in turns to sit and talk with her, just this week they arranged for one of the entertainment group to visit her room and sing for her, she enjoyed it so much that she even sang along with him. The head sister made a video of the event and showed it to me and my brother, such kindness forethought and attention to care is typical of the very high standard of care in the home. Tomorrow she will be visited by a lady and her four-legged doggy friend, a regular event she always looks forward to. A lady member of staff has been reading a story to my mother in the evenings and this seems to be keeping her mind alert and content as she has very poor eyesight and watching TV is a strain.

On entering the home a warm greeting by staff.
It was obvious from the start that all the staff were dedicated carers with years of experience.
Staff respected your privacy and dignity.
The food consisted of a well thought out nutritional menu, freshly cooked and well presented, served on hot plates when appropriate - in fact, all tastes were catered for.
Medication was efficiently dealt with.
The room I am in overlooks a well-tended garden - fittings etc very adequate and of good quality.
The atmosphere in the home is tranquil and nothing is too much trouble if one requires help.
How lucky I was in finding this 'GEM'.

Montana is a unique care home. We were very lucky that it is so close to us but it would be worth travelling many miles, it is the BEST. The staff are special, they are like Angels. Happy, smiling and totally committed to their work. You could not ask for better care. We are grateful for the service which was beyond the call of duty. It is a SAFE and LOVING home.

The accommodation was excellent, ensuite, and the staff (religious sisters and lay people) were most helpful and kind. The food was of very good quality, well cooked and plentiful - with two hot meals in the day. That it was all on the ground floor was, I am sure, very good for those who have difficulty managing stairs. There is seating outside the building as well.

I first visited Montana late one evening. I had flown back to the UK to attend my uncle's funeral, and the Sisters had kindly invited my aunt to stay with them until she was ready to go home. Despite the late hour, I found the Sisters to be very friendly and welcoming, and quickly saw that my aunty was being well looked after in her bereavement.
I visited the care home regularly over the following two days, and was always impressed with how much love they showed to all of us. It had been my uncle's wish to pass his final days there, but the thing that touched me most was that they continued to look after my aunty as well, making sure she was comfortable and well fed the whole time. They all wanted to be sure that she didn't feel that she was alone in her grief, and for me, living overseas, it was a great comfort to know that they had treated my aunty with the same love they had shown my uncle.

My relative was extremely well cared for in his final days. The staff were so thoughtful and friendly and I will be forever indebted to them. The efforts they all put in to make us welcome were unbelievable. Even after the weeks of constant care and attention, they helped to provide a wonderful funeral that all our family appreciated so much.
I feel that they managed to provide not just practical care and attention but helped us all spiritually in his final days.

I came to Montana Care Home in 2012. Having worked with sisters whose charity runs Montana Care Home and other care homes for many years, as I was suffering from a nervous illness. The sisters have shown me nothing but the greatest kindness and support. I now live in one of their sheltered flats where I have the same consideration and care concern for my wellbeing. I have seen their treatments of others and noticed the same respect for the person as an individual concern, that however frail, the resident could get as much as possible out of life. I have ticked excellent as all categories as this is a fact.

I am here in this home nearly 7 years and have enjoyed it. I feel free to do my own thing. I am happy. I can't say anything bad. I find it all good.

For the religious sisters running this care home it is a vocation and not a job, and it shows in so many ways, especially in the loving care that they give us. It doesn't matter how busy they are, they always have a kind word and a smile and are always ready to listen. No one wants to end up in a care home, giving up your independence is always difficult, but there is no other place I would rather be than here. The love and care we are given is exemplary, we are one very happy family and so blessed to be here.
