The Review Score of 9.8 (maximum of 10) for Godolphin House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 17 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Godolphin House Care Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5 out of 5 from 7 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 4.77 for Godolphin House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (170 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.77
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 Godolphin House Care Home is based on 7 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 6.2 positive Reviews (31 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 7 Reviews ÷ 6.2 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.
Godolphin House Care Home has a Review Score of 9.8 (9.770) from 17 Reviews

I have been a volunteer here once a week for two and a half years, helping with activities or just talking to the residents, able to observe they very warm caring of all the staff to all of the residents even the minor things are helped or sorted. The staff don't miss a thing, they are so friendly with everyone. I hope to continue helping for as long as I can. I really look forward to my Thursday afternoon a really nice afternoon out for me. I am 85 and just love the place an all that goes on.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Ginny (Daughter-in-law of Resident) on Saturday 21 October 2017. Relates to August 2017.
My Mother-in-law was a resident for three and a half years at Godolphin Care Home, she was treated with care and respect. She enjoyed all the different activities they held every week. Her relatives were always welcomed and offered refreshments when visiting. Sadly she passed away and the staff showed such tender loving care for the last four weeks of her life, we are extremely grateful to the staff, when we couldn't be there, we knew she was being cared for and we didn't have to worry.

My dad came in earlier this year and has really settled in. The staff are excellent and really make his stay comfortable. It's hard to see him in a home but Godolphin House Care Home is a lovely place.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by David F (Son of Resident) on Thursday 9 March 2017. Relates to February 2017.
My mother has been a resident at Godolphin House since September 2015 and the level of care she has received throughout this time has been excellent.
All the staff are kind, considerate, helpful and attentive, and there are always activities that keep the general atmosphere bright and cheerful.
I would like to see more attention given to mother's difficulty with eating, as since she has limited use of her left hand to cut up food and finds it hard to chew certain things, her meals often go un-eaten. Being almost 100, she doesn't have a great appetite and has always been 'fussy' about what she eats, so I do appreciate she is not an easy case. Summing up, I am delighted to have secured a place for her at Godolphin House.
