Review from Jane J (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 February 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Although mum has only been a resident at Lansdowne for a short time, we've been extremely happy with the thoughtful and compassionate care she and our family have received. After being at the home for a month, mum suffered a mild stroke and spent 2 weeks in hospital. When discharged, her needs increased
significantly, due to being poorly from a secondary infection. However, nothing has been too much trouble for the staff and we believe her continuing recovery is largely due to the attention the carers have given to ensure mum has been comfortable and her needs met, both mentally and physically. The staff are warm and friendly, extremely hard working and very caring to the residents, their families and to each other and always make time to update us. They have been professional throughout and supported us through what has been a distressing time. I know I speak for my family when I say we are extremely grateful and appreciative of the care and support mum has received so far.

My mother-in-law moved into this care home at the end of September. Since moving, she has been encouraged and helped to do things she has not done in a year.

Review from Jane B (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 10 December 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our Dad was discharged from GWH to Lansdowne Hill Care Home and was made welcome from day one. The staff were amazing and treated him with so much respect and dignity. Nothing was too much trouble during his stay. Our family was kept up to date constantly and always felt at home during our visits. Dad
was always comfortable, had lovely nourishing food, constant checks and someone to chat to. The manager worked hard to ensure all the residents were looked after to the highest standard. All the staff from the handyman to the cooks, cleaners, carers and entertainers were brilliant. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lansdowne Hill.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the moment my nan arrived, she was made to feel at home, we are a very close family and this was something we never wanted. The entire staff are committed to providing a caring service for all and you only have to step inside the door to feel the warmth and care they provide day and night.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Putting our nan in a home was the last thing any of us wanted and of course, choosing a home was something we had to do as a family. We all feel that Lansdowne Hill Care Home is the best place for nan as she is cared for beautifully. As "nan" said once "It's not the home but it's the closest thing!"
and that says it all!

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.340)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.340) out of 10 for Lansdowne Hill Care Home 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 8 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 4.670 for Lansdowne Hill Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (64 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 91 Ratings = 4.67
  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 4.67 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Lansdowne Hill Care Home is based on 8 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 = 3.8
    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 46 registered maximum number of service users is 9.2. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.2 = 0.87
  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.
