Review from Carol C (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 October 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I liked the home after being shown around by the manager. Safety was paramount as my mother walked around at night. I liked the fact she couldn't get up and down the stairs. The care is very good and all the carers have a positive outlook. My mother has settled in very well and seems content.
Reply from Abbas Nurmohamed, Director at The KnowlesThank you for your review and feedback. Safety is certainly paramount to ourselves at The Knowles and we appreciate your recognising the high quality of care delivered to our resident, it is also great to read your Mother has settled in very well with ourselves.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Went to see my friend and had questions about how she had been since I was not able to see her for a few weeks. All the staff, including the manager, took the time to explain properly. I am now confident and feel more at ease knowing that my friend is being supported and being taken care of regarding
all her physical, financial and well-being.
Reply from Abbas Nurmohamed, Director at The KnowlesThank you for your review and feedback. It is great to read you have confidence in The Knowles and you are at ease while your friend resides with ourselves. We appreciate your feedback and we will share the review with our team.

My uncle always looks really happy when I visit. The staff are so kind and are always so happy to assist with anything needed. Staff have recently supported him with shopping and it is really heartwarming to see. He always has the footy on and I'm sure that's where he loves most! Overall my uncle is
more than happy to call The Knowles home and I am too.

Mum has settled in here very well. She says that the staff are friendly and smiling all the time and that she feels that they are her friends. She has had bad experiences in previous homes, so it is lovely to see her so happy and settled here. From a visitor's point of view, we always feel welcome and
can see that the staff have a caring and respectful attitude towards all of the residents.
Reply from Abbas Nurmohamed, Director at The KnowlesThank you for your review and your positive feedback. It is great to read your Mother is settled at The Knowles and thank you for recognising our staff - we will pass your feedback onto our team.

The most beautiful thing about this home is the smiles and kindness from each and every one of the staff. My mum wanted to go home on day one, by day four she doesn't want to leave. The food is great, Mum loves it. I've just asked Mum about she feels and she says 'I love it here', it's the best place
she's ever been. Thanks to this home, God bless all of them who work here.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.604)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.604) out of 10 for The Knowles 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 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.604 for The Knowles is calculated as follows: ( (265 Excellents x 5) + (56 Goods x 4) + (18 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 351 Ratings = 4.604
  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 The Knowles is based on 28 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 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 28 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.
