The Review Score of 9.9 (maximum of 10) for Compton View Residential Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 6 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Compton View Residential Care Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5 out of 5 from 5 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 4.917 for Compton View Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (55 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.917
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 Compton View Residential Care Home is based on 5 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 3.6 positive Reviews (18 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 5 Reviews ÷ 3.6 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.
Compton View Residential Care Home has a Review Score of 9.9 (9.875) from 6 Reviews
Review submitted from a Website Submission by Fiona K (Daughter of Resident) on Monday 23 April 2018. Relates to April 2018.
I cannot praise the staff at Compton View highly enough. From the owner to the catering staff! You are always greeted in such a happy and welcoming way when visiting and nothing is too much trouble! The owner is great fun and always does her best to raise everyone’s spirits but at the same time, she stays on top of their medical conditions/needs. Activities are regularly organised and friends/family are encouraged to join the parties. Because the home is not too large, residents receive a very personal service. I would not hesitate to recommend Compton View to family or friends. Thank you for all the fantastic work that you do!

Thank you so much for these kind words. We all do work very hard of course, but it's an absolute pleasure too. We can't disguise that we all love what we do, and it's so touching that it has been noted. I shall pass this on to the staff. Thank you so so much x
Review submitted from a Website Submission by Alan E (Son of Resident) on Monday 26 February 2018. Relates to February 2018.
The care provided at Compton View is geared entirely to the welfare, comfort and health of the residents. All the staff are very friendly, but still extremely professional. Residents are part of a little community but have as much privacy and personal space as they want.
I am very pleased to have been recommended to Compton View, nothing has disappointed.

Thank you, Alan, I am so happy that your mum has settled in so well. She is a vital part of our little community here at Compton View. As are you.
Review submitted from a Website Submission by Hilary K (Niece of Resident) on Tuesday 13 February 2018. Relates to February 2018.
Compton View cared for my Aunt, who has since passed. I cannot thank and praise Compton View and staff enough for their excellent, kind care for my aunt who was immobile, blind and not an easy personality - they treated her like family and saw to her every need to ensure her happiness. They were great company for her and took care of her Dr's appointments, ensured she took her medications, bathing, making sure she was dressed in clean clothes, hair cuts, you name it, they took care of her every need.
I was especially grateful to the owner, who took care of clearing out my aunt's room for me after she died, as I live abroad and I could not leave my sick mother. She went above and beyond to see to everything and helping me with the hospital and funeral home arrangements. I could not have done this without her help and care. Wonderful lady and staff who do anything for you. She was also very supportive to me emotionally at this difficult time.
Thank you!

Thank you so much for your kind words Hilary, it was our honour to look after your aunt who was like family to us. It was also my pleasure to do everything I could to help you through a difficult time, I'm so glad I could help.
Review submitted from a Website Submission by Mike B (Cousin of Resident) on Sunday 14 January 2018. Relates to January 2018.
I am thoroughly impressed by the wonderful atmosphere that exists at Compton View. It is evident that this is achieved through the painstaking care provided by the staff. Due diligence is given with warmth, good humour and dedication to meet the needs of the residents who seem extremely happy, relaxed and contented.
There is always a cheery welcome to visitors that makes you feel part of the family. There is no shortage of laughter. Nothing is too much trouble where residents are treated with great respect and dignity and encouraged to be as active and involved as they wish to be.
My cousin couldn't want for anything better. It is home from home with excellent food. If I needed residential care then this is where I would like to reside.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Christine (Daughter of Resident) on Tuesday 9 January 2018. Relates to January 2018.
The manager and her team of excellent carers have made my mum feel welcome, safe and happy from the beginning. The team are caring and friendly, nothing is too much trouble. There are activities and occasional days out for those residents who wish to participate. Compton View has to be one of the best care homes in Yeovil.
