Latest Care Quality Commission* Report on Melbourne House: click here
* Care Quality Commission is responsible for the registration and inspection of social care services in England.
The Review Score of 5.8 (maximum of 10) for Melbourne House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 1 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Melbourne House in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 1.6 out of 5 from 1 positive Reviews in the last 2 years. (A 2 year period has been used as there were no positive reviews in the last 12 months)
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.182 for Melbourne House is calculated as follows: ( (3 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 11 Ratings = 4.182
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 1.576 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Melbourne House is based on 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows:
3 = 3 then divided by 2 = 1.500
Target of 6.6 positive Reviews (33 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 1 Reviews ÷ 6.6 Target = 0.152 , then divided by 2 = 0.076
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Melbourne House has a Review Score of 5.8 (5.758) from 1 Reviews
Review submitted from a Website Submission by Catherine D (Niece of Resident) on Sunday 12 June 2016. Relates to August 2015.
Melbourne House cared for my aunt, who had vascular dementia and was with them for quite a while. My aunt could be cheerful and lively, and she did have a good sense of humour, but I have to be honest and say she could at times be a bit of a handful, especially as her illness progressed. I do feel the staff, both management and the carers, handled her with skill and with warmth. The illness was not easy for her, needless to say, and they helped her deal with it as much as possible while recognising who she was inside.
I know staff (including the manager, who I found both very capable and very approachable) used to take her to church when she wanted to go, for example, or to the shops, and carers also read her chosen books to her, which I know she enjoyed and made her feel relaxed and calm. They knew her humour and her personality well enough to make her laugh and feel comfortable and safe, and I think that was very valuable.
