My mother was moved to Field House at short notice, but it turned out to be a good move for her. She is now doing walking well thanks to the efforts of the staff. I feel she is well cared for by the staff, who always show a dignified respect to all the residents.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It is difficult to fully express how grateful we are as a family for all that Field House has done for our mum. For what is now approaching four years everyone at Field House has shown our mum the utmost kindness and patience. The people who work at Field House are blessed with a can do approach, the
ability to make it all look so easy and always with a smile. Thank you for everything Field House.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.180)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.180) out of 10 for Field House 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 7 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 4.583 for Field House is calculated as follows: ( (64 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.583
  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 4.597 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Field House is based on 7 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 = 3.7
    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 39 registered maximum number of service users is 7.8. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.8 = 0.897
  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.
