Thank you very much for your review. We are aware of how hard your family worked in supporting your parents at home and the impact that this has on family life and your constant vigilance, while they remained in their own home. While we appreciate that making a decision to find long term care is a difficult one, we are delighted that you chose us to support not only your parents, but your whole family too. Your parents are a joy to take care of and we look forward to sharing many happy times ahead, where they can feel secure and content.

It is with dismay that the staff, residents and families at Housman have read your review, especially as so many made the effort to attend your mother's farewell tea party, to wish her well in her new placement. She will be remembered with great affection as a courteous lady, with exquisite manners. We recognise her move was family decision and recollections as to the antecedent for the move may vary. Residents greatly enjoy the social events at Housman which we record in our "Housman Chronicles". Residents enjoy looking at the plethora of event photographs and seeing themselves taking an active part in the life of their home, which is a place of security. In addition to planned theme nights, there are daily activities, weekly hairdressers, our GP service also visits weekly. Our position at the top of the High Street enables residents to regularly leave the home for shopping trips and visits to the local amenities and places of worship with their families.

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.861) out of 10 for Housman Court 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 7 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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:
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.
The Average Rating of 4.161 for Housman Court is calculated as follows: ( (49 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (10 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 93 Ratings = 4.161
b) 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 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Housman Court is based on 7 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
i) 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 = 3.7
ii) 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 7 Positive reviews. Points = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
