My mother required a considerable amount of extra care and support following a fractured hip and shoulder, and I was concerned as to whether the care home would be able to manage and look after her on her return from hospital.
I need not have worried, the care she received was wonderful. The home
has well-organised systems and the staff are kind and compassionate.

When my Mother-in-Law, who is 101, had a 'turn' early one evening, the staff on duty called me and the care and affection they showed to her while she was not completely conscious, and to me while I sat with her that evening, was a lesson to me why they are 'care staff'. While we all expected her to
pass that evening, by the next day she was back to her usual self and oblivious to all the attention she had received, and we were all amazed. These ladies who care are a special breed (the men too!)

The staff at Selkirk House have made Mum's transition to a Care Home very straightforward and it is a great comfort to know she is so happy and well looked after. Her room is lovely and like home from home with her own belongings. Our family would highly recommend this care home.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.706)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.706) out of 10 for Selkirk House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.706 for Selkirk House is calculated as follows: ( (241 Excellents x 5) + (83 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 330 Ratings = 4.706

  • b) 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 Selkirk House is based on 28 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4, which has been reached with 28 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
