Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Kahala Court is a clean and well run care home. Good rooms in a good location and willing staff. There is lack of activities for more agile members, but this could be due to the limited staff which seems to be on going problem in the industry.

Review from David C (Son of Resident) published on 6 November 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother, now 96, has been at Kahala Court for 22 months. Her care has been very good but unfortunately she seems to regard it as hospital not a home. I'm sure this is her perception and is certainly not ours. She chooses to spend all the time in her room and a little more time spent with her would
be appreciated although she does get a family visit every day. Overall care is very good, with no complaints.

Review from Helen S (Resident) published on 27 October 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
This home lacks a housekeeper with overall responsibility for domestic matters which are not always up to the standard one would hope for. The caring staff are very helpful, patient and cheerful, but often appear overworked. the laundry is a disaster area - loss and damage are frequent and one cannot
submit clothes of any value to it. (My winter vest shrunk by 6").
There appears to be no one overseeing the work and checking that the ironing is being done properly. The diet is monotonous. No fresh fruit unless asked for, endless sponge puddings and custard, and any fresh vegetables (rare) are boiled to death. A good healthy salad is unknown. I don't expect Cordon Bleu cooking. I have lived here for a year, and in spite of my comments, I am very happy!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.797)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.797) out of 10 for Kahala Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.797 for Kahala Court is calculated as follows: ( (186 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 231 Ratings = 4.797
  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 Kahala Court is based on 20 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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, which has been reached with 20 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.
