Review from Sharon M (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 26 January 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
All staff at The Knowles never cease to amaze me with their care.
We recently took my mother in law out. All the staff had reminded her and encouraged her to feel positive and get ready, even making sure she didn't eat too much before we arrived.
When we returned it was just like going back home.
She was greeted with great humour and asked all about her adventure.
Leaving her in the knowledge that she is safe and happy is a true gift - thank you!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The home is a very welcoming, warm and the staff are all very caring, warm-hearted and they all work very hard to keep all the residents happy.
There are lots of activities for the residents, dancing, singing, Jumping Jacques and more. The manager and assistant who run the home are very dedicated
and out the care of the residents 1st in every case.
I give the level of care 10 out of 10.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am absolutely overwhelmed by the support, care and dedication of the staff. Their attention to detail and needs of each resident can be clearly seen, especially the Acting Senior. Staff are dedicated, have a sense of humor and will assist and discuss my mother's care at every opportunity. The residents
are happy and you can clearly see they are safe, secure and cared for.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The core of regular full-time staff show their knowledge of the resident's needs and care for them with patience and humour. However, some of the agency staff cannot match this and show they are not so well suited for the job.
All the full-time staff including cleaners, cooks and maintenance staff
show a willingness to help whenever they can.

Review from J M (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 August 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The home is clean and comfortable for its residents. The staff are kind and helpful to residents but the laundry is haphazard and items get lost or are poorly treated. My only concern would be that there is not enough to occupy or stimulate residents during the day. I realise that costs must be taken
into consideration, but leaving residents sat in front of a TV is no good for people with poor eyesight or hearing and is not enough to occupy what minds they have left.

Review from Patricia B (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 20 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our mother came to The Knowles after a long stay in hospital, it was decided she could no longer live within her housing with care setting.
She is 97 years old and this was an enormous change for her, but I cannot speak highly enough of the staff at The Knowles, they put her at ease and made her feel
very welcome.
The care and support received has been of a very high standard, and all of us family members have been welcomed on each visit.
The time has now come for Mum to move on to a permanent placement and we would like to thank all the staff at The Knowles for everything they have done over the last six weeks.

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.
