Review from George E (Husband of Resident) published on 2 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care generally was excellent. The staff and management showed a lot of love and care to both of us to the extent of us feeling like part of a family throughout the past 7 years. I could go home assured she was safe and in the best of care. The care was second to none, especially the last week of
my wife's life.

Review from M E (Grandson of Resident) published on 2 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My grandmother has been a resident of Talbot View since 2008 and I thank all of the staff for their loving care over the years. Unfortunately, we are near the end and I can see how much the staff care for the residents through all their support at this testing time. Not only have the staff cared for
my grandmother, they have supported my grandfather and all of my close family. I cannot thank everyone enough for the dignified care for my grandmother and ongoing support for those that love her.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.567)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.567) out of 10 for Talbot View 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 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.567 for Talbot View is calculated as follows: ( (269 Excellents x 5) + (73 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (9 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 374 Ratings = 4.567
  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 Talbot View is based on 29 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 59 registered maximum number of service users is 11.8, which has been reached with 29 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.
