I cannot visit my aunt as frequently as I would like as I live some distance away but from what I have seen and heard she appears to be happy and definitely well cared for, for which I thank the staff at Far Fillimore Care Home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Far Fillimore Care Home has excellent leadership. Where the care of all the residents is top priority at all times. Good hard-working staff, help the residents to achieve within their own capabilities at all times. There are many activities during each month which vary in nature so all can enjoy, to
include family (depending on covid restrictions). Communication with the managers is quick and I am informed at all times of Mum's welfare. The home is very clean and organised. Mum is always well dressed and more importantly, very happy.

Far Fillimore Care Home is based in lovely grounds in the Staffordshire countryside. The home itself is kept clean, and the food is of very good quality. The staff are friendly and informative and give good quality time to the residents as they keep the number of residents per carer to a manageable
level. There is a good range of activities to keep the resident cognitively stimulated.

Review from Jennifer W (Sister-in-law of Resident) published on 23 May 2022 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister-in-law is in her fourth year as a resident. During this time, has been superbly cared for and received expert professional supervision. The staff are friendly and are able to cope with any situation. The rooms are very clean and always free from order. Home cooking is provided to a high standard.
The country setting of the home and garden is most attractive.

Review from M E (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 February 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can give nothing but praise for everyone involved in Mum's care. We have previous experience with my dad, who was elsewhere, which was entirely the opposite. Having looked after Mum myself at home, I have an idea of the things which every day involves. Mum became a resident during the lockdown, and
so I know the staff were already working in extremely difficult conditions - they did their utmost always to ensure we were well informed and able to see Mum - albeit through a window on occasions - still vital. The home is well managed and clean, and I have never experienced bad odours while visiting. The social events which have been allowed have been friendly and homely - I definitely feel like there is genuine care that the residents are happy. When I have seen other residents they look like Mum - content and well cared for. It’s a compliment to say that I never worry about Mum - something I couldn’t say when Mum had non-residential care teams visiting. I’m happy to give more info if required.

My lovely mum has been a resident for almost 3 years. She says she feels content and safe there. She often says how kind the staff are and I am content knowing all her needs are taken care of. The staff are professional and approachable.

A well-balanced level of service. Set in a beautiful location. It has a very homely atmosphere with friendly though efficient staff and procedures. It is not institutional and every effort is made to accommodate resident wishes. The managers make every effort to care for the wellbeing and happiness
of the residents. The level of communication with relatives is excellent.

My Auntie has been a resident in the home for two years now and she is both happy and content. Her diet is and health are monitored in accordance with her medical advice. The staff are friendly and helpful, they often take time to be friends with her. All her needs are catered for and whenever I have
had to ask for assistance or something extra for her, her requirements have always been met.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.285)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.285) out of 10 for Far Fillimore Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 8 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 4.635 for Far Fillimore Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (65 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.635
  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 4.65 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Far Fillimore Care Home is based on 8 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.65
    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 26 registered maximum number of service users is 5.2, which has been reached with 8 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.
