Review from R B (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 March 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
All care is of a good standard and the staff are kind and caring, at times they do seem to have a lot of work for the amount of staff on duty. The rooms are comfortable but could do with decorating, new curtains and brighter overhead light. New flooring in the corridors and communal areas are much nicer.
Reply from Kevin Randle, Manager at Saffron House

All bedrooms are in process of having a full re-decoration to go in-line with new flooring and furniture recently acquired. Staffing levels are increasing due to new fully experienced staff coming on board to us at Saffron House.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.831)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.831) out of 10 for Saffron House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 5 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 4.810 for Saffron House is calculated as follows: ( (48 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 58 Ratings = 4.81
  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 4.021 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Saffron House is based on 5 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 = 3.5
    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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.6 = 0.521
  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.
