The Review Score of 8.4 (maximum of 10) for Karam Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 2 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 4.957 for Karam Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (22 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 23 Ratings = 4.957
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 3.463 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Karam Court Care Home is based on 2 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 = 3.25
Target of 9.4 positive Reviews (47 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 2 Reviews ÷ 9.4 Target = 0.213
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Steve F (Son of Resident) on Saturday 3 March 2018. Relates to February 2018.
My Dad went into Karam Court just before Christmas 2017, having shown "challenging" behaviour (due to his dementia) at two previous establishments. The change in his attitude and behaviour was almost instant, thanks entirely to the wonderful staff at Karam Court. He relished being given small tasks to do as he felt useful again.
Dad was always clean and well-dressed when I visited, and I could tell that he felt comfortable and safe there.
The staff seemed to know instinctively how to treat Dad so that he did not feel threatened or challenged in any way, and it was obvious that he felt happy and well looked-after.
My thanks go out to all the staff, they are a credit to their profession.

My husband received excellent care, he was always immaculate and well groomed. I will be internally grateful to the staff and management for the way they treated not only my husband but myself and my family. Thank you.
