The purpose of this review is to comment on the prevention of abuse. There is an excellent display setting out the abuse policy for the home. It is clear, to the point and relevant. My visits to the home indicate that the prevention of abuse policy is in action and followed by staff.

Review from Jennifer H (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 October 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
The carers and domestics have been very good and patient with my mother's needs. Now that she has reached 100 she really does need help now to dress in the mornings and someone to put in her hearing aids also in the morning. Whilst the inside of the home is kept clean, the carpet in her bedroom badly
needs replacing. The smell of urine in her room is quite bad. The outside areas where staff and residents sit is very untidy. My mother really enjoys her food at the home.

Review from Keith F (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 16 October 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I am very pleased with the care that my Mother in Law is receiving. The carers are very professional and understanding. The residents are never too much trouble. The home is a modern building and very light with open windows - the garden has a nice seating area for the residents when the weather is
kind. The food is of good standards. Mother in Law loves the custard. The only downside from my point of view is the room where Mother in Law is. It requires new floor covering and the bed needs a new mattress.

The staff are wonderful, but my Mum's room constantly smells of urine. The carpet and mattress need replacing. The floor needs to be wooden or lino to make easy cleaning. My sisters have brought this up with the management but still, nothing has been done. Mum has celebrated her 100th birthday in the
home this month. They gave her a wonderful party at tea time with a great singer. Would be lovely if he came every month.

The staff and the care that is given is tops and all the staff are very friendly. The home is clean and if you ask the staff for anything, they will do it there and then for you. It's a very happy home and the manager is great, they take the time to speak to you as well. I would recommend this home
should anyone ask me about it because it's a friendly home and the care is excellent!

Review from S G (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 September 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mother has been at Curtis Weston for about 4 years, she has dementia and can get physically and mentally challenging. I have always found that the staff deal with this very well. She tells me that she feels safe and happy in the home and that there is always someone around if she needs any sort of
help. Any issues that have arisen in this time eg. her care or medication, I have always felt that I can and do liaise with the manager and have full trust and faith in the care she is given by all.

Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
Sometimes we have noticed there is a shortage of staff in regards to the number of residents day and night. We have experienced the lack of communication between staff concerning care and treatment to residents. The recent reduction of activities due to staff shortages.
Problem with security with access
to residents rooms a problem as elderly residents unable to manage to secure their rooms.

Activities are a great idea - stimulation is needed.

Overall, we are more than pleased with the care and assistance our brother receives and wouldn't hesitate to let any other relative reside here.
We are really looking forward to the new hospitality ideas and the décor and will be joining in as much as possible.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.741)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.741) out of 10 for Curtis Weston House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.741 for Curtis Weston House is calculated as follows: ( (89 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 116 Ratings = 4.741
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Curtis Weston House is based on 10 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 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
    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 44 registered maximum number of service users is 8.8, which has been reached with 10 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.
