Review from Anthony H (Brother-in-law of Resident) published on 24 April 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Over the last two years, my brother-in-law has been a resident at the care home mentioned above, in that time he has been very happy. Enjoyed the food and activities and has said many times its a home from home. He has always been clean and smart, and well presented.
A credit to the staff. I only hope
that I would be looked after so well should the circumstances arrive.

Review from Christine P (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 November 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was in Northway House for 2 years and 3 months until she passed away, she was 99 years and was very happy at all times. The care she received up until she passed away was excellent and a great help to me at all times, especially at the end. All the staff at Northway House are very professional
and carying and can't do enough for the residents.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.635) out of 10 for Northway House Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 13 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 4.810 for Northway House Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (149 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.81
  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 4.825 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Northway House Residential Home is based on 13 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 = 3.825
    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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 13 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.
