Visited to see my mum. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They are very caring to my mum. They treat my mum with dignity and respect. All the staff know my mum's name and will always say hello to her and ask her how she is when they walk passed her. The staff are very patient, my mum requires
care 24/7, she needs help with personal care, mobility and eating and drinking. The home and staff provide a nice safe environment for my mum and all the other residents.

Following on from the loss of my father in September 2022 I moved my mother close to my home and chose The Knowles Care Home. After being made to feel very welcome from the start she adjusted quickly to her new life and routine and now calls this her home which is very reassuring to me. My mother has
made friends with other residents. The staff are excellent in their care for her and communicate well with her and me. The facilities are kept in good order and all the staff and managment are always there to answer my questions regarding her health and ability. More activities are being introduced which she very much enjoys taking part in. Meal times are a big favourite she loves the food and all of this gives me peace of mind with her care.

My dad has been here for 3 weeks now and I am very happy with everything. Dad has a great room with his own toilet and big space. The facilities are all good, the day rooms, toilets and dining room. Staff are great, one staff member in particular has been amazing and goes above and beyond to help us.
A secure building which is great as it reassures no one is getting out.

My dad spent the last weeks of his life at The Knowles care home and I can say that his care was second to none. The care and compassion he was shown were heartwarming and nothing was too much trouble for the wonderful staff and manager! They made us feel incredibly welcome and I would highly recommend
this dementia care home.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.765)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.765) 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 4.8 out of 5 from 55 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 53 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 4.765 for The Knowles is calculated as follows: ( (545 Excellents x 5) + (75 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 647 Ratings = 4.765
  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 53 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 39 registered maximum number of service users is 7.8, which has been reached with 53 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.
