Review from D & L (Son of Resident) published on 9 August 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mum has been at Redlands for nearly eighteen months, she took some time to settle in but all the staff have been so helpful and kind in making sure that she is comfortable and safe. All the staff greet us when we visit and we feel very welcome. They encourage all the residents to take part in as many
activities as possible but are also very aware of their privacy.

Review from Kevin F (Son of Resident) published on 16 September 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The home is well run by the Manager. He has a great friendly caring team behind him. As soon as someone answers the front door you get welcomed by a friendly smile and would you like a Tea or Coffee!!! Also nothing is to much trouble for the staff even though they are always busy. There are lots of
activities the residents can do if they want. My father is 94 years old has been here for about 5 years, he is very happy here and treated with dignity and respect all the time. As I live in Somerset I only get to visit once a month, but I know he is so well looked after. Highly recommended. 10/10

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.711)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.711) out of 10 for Redlands Acre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.711 for Redlands Acre is calculated as follows: ( (111 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 142 Ratings = 4.711
  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 Redlands Acre is based on 11 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 35 registered maximum number of service users is 7, which has been reached with 11 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.
