The Review Score of 9.7 (9.676) out of 10 for Orchard Blythe is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.676 for Orchard Blythe is calculated as follows: ( (147 Excellents x 5) + (58 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 210 Ratings = 4.676
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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Orchard Blythe is based on 18 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 18 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.

Welcome to Orchard Blythe. With over 15 years of experience dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of older people, I’m proud to lead this warm and welcoming home.

I’m Lisa Morgan, and I’ve been a cook for the past 28 years. I truly love my job and enjoy interacting with the residents, often being the first to dress up and get involved in activities. I take great pride in creating a positive atmosphere and engaging with everyone in the home.
In my spare time, I’ve learnt to knit, enjoy walking with my dog, and listen to music. I find these activities relaxing and fulfilling outside of my busy role.
Job Title: Lifestyle Coordinator

I’ve been part of the team here for 6 years, and during that time, it has been incredibly rewarding to see the residents grow in confidence through activities, make new friends, and become a part of our close-knit community. I truly love being here and cherish the opportunity to work with such wonderful residents.
In my spare time, I enjoy going on holidays and exploring new places.

With over 22 years of experience in the care sector, I have dedicated my career to making a positive impact on the lives of others.

Over the years, I have gained invaluable experience by working across all departments within the home. This journey has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the various aspects of care, enabling me to support both residents and staff effectively.
I take great pride in being part of an extraordinary team that is devoted to delivering exceptional care and support to our residents.

I joined Orchard Blythe in 2017 as a Finance Administrator, bringing with me over 30 years of experience in administration. With a background in nursing and occupational therapy, I offer a unique perspective that allows me to connect deeply with both staff and residents.
Before joining Orchard Blythe, I worked as an occupational therapist in an older people’s setting, where I developed a passion for improving the quality of life for seniors. In my current role as Finance Administrator, I manage the day-to-day financial operations of the home, ensuring that everything runs smoothly and efficiently.
My responsibilities include liaising with families, managing contracts, overseeing budgets, and coordinating financial reporting.
In addition to my administrative duties, I enjoy participating in activities with the residents, fostering a sense of community and connection. I believe that engaging with residents is essential in creating a warm and welcoming environment.
I am dedicated to my work and take great pride in my compassionate approach, which I feel makes me a valued member of the Orchard Blythe team.
