Review from Ursula H (Friend of Resident) published on 8 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Stokeleigh is like a home. All carers are extremely attentive, kind and caring. Many activities and conversations keep residents physically active and their minds stimulated. I can visit my friend whenever I like and I am always welcomed. Care plans are regularly updated, any worries or concerns are
dealt with promptly and administration (finance etc) is efficient too. I like the newsletters too.

Review from J S (Son of Resident) published on 8 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother is in the home and it is a dementia home. The activities coordinator is fantastic. There are activities every day which includes outside speakers/singers and she ensures the residents are all engaged. The new manager has been a breath of fresh air. The home has been decorated and money is
available to spend on activities for the residents. The manager has also made access to the home easier. The staff are friendly and attentive. My mother seems very happy in the home.

Review from Susan B (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother was unwell during December and the care that she received from all the staff was exemplary. She was encouraged to get out of bed to help her chest and there was a constant flow of cups of tea to keep her fluid levels up. She has recovered and is now up and about and joining in the excellent
range of activities provided. My mother has been a resident for many years and can be quite challenging. She is always well cared for and treated with dignity and respect. We consider ourselves very lucky to have found such a caring environment for her.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I visit my old friend frequently, usually once a week. Her eldest son is a friend mine. I am most impressed with this care home where my friend is happy. When I visit there are several members of staff around. One in particular is always conducting quizzes, scrabble etc. There is frequent entertainment
from outside people. My church visits twice monthly once for singing and once for Holy Communion. This is a well run, clean and happy home.

Review from A W (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 February 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Stokeleigh has lost a number of staff earlier in the year which led to a general degradation of both cleanliness and care particularly at weekend. Has improved recently but available staff to carry out showering and ensuring cleanliness of residents continues to be a challenge. Biggest issue is gaining
access visitors are kept waiting at the front door for unacceptable period.

Review from Marilyn B (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 3 February 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Excellent caring environment. My mother in law had a difficult, unsettled period when first going there. The staff made changes and suggestions to enable her to settle. The staff are well trained with an excellent manager. All are always pleasant and well informed. They seem to go the 'extra mile'.
I would recommend Stokeleigh to anyone looking for a caring, well run residential environment. They are particularly knowledgeable and experienced in dementia care. They treat residents as individuals and utmost kindness. Also the home is a fantastic building in a great location.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.568)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.568) out of 10 for Stokeleigh is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.568 for Stokeleigh is calculated as follows: ( (70 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 118 Ratings = 4.568
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Stokeleigh is based on 10 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 10 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
