  • Kirby Grange Residential Care Home, Leicester
Kirby Grange Residential Home offers a serene residence in an idyllic rural location with great public transport links.

Kirby Grange is one of the best-loved residential care homes in Leicester, providing daily help and support for residents who do not require nursing care but need help with the stresses and strains of daily living.

The team of highly experienced carers provides really amazing quality dementia care, with specialised training and knowledge in this and associated areas. Unlike many other homes, the team's focus extends to maximising the overall wellbeing and quality of life for every individual resident.

For people who don’t yet need full-time care but require short-term support, sometimes because their usual carers are unavailable, then respite care homes such as Kirby Grange are ideal. Each of their respite or short-stay residents receive the same levels of care, respect, and dignity that full-time residents would.

Kirby Grange understands that moving into a care-focused residence can be a daunting prospect. The team work hard to ensure residents soon settle in to life at their new home.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
I have always found the staff caring and considerate. Since a new manager has been employed it seems to have improved in all areas. Hopefully, they can keep up the good work they do.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.982)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.982) out of 10 for Kirby Grange Residential Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.982 for Kirby Grange Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (165 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.982
  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 Kirby Grange Residential Care Home is based on 14 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 31 registered maximum number of service users is 6.2, which has been reached with 14 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.
