Review from Janet L (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 April 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father came to live in Stones Place two years ago, very frail, eyesight failing, unable to stand. The wonderful staff loved and nurtured him giving him a great quality of life. The help and friendship and superb food trips out, fun and games, music, the list goes on and they helped him enjoy his
final years. He joined in everything even if he could not do anything and worship times were very special. At Christmas, Dad said it was like being in a 5* hotel, only better. He passed on the 1st January 2017 with a smile on his face.

Review from Lynda B (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 April 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Sadly my mum only had 6 months in this wonderful home before her death, what a wonderful 6 months she had too. Two days into her 2 weeks respite care she said, "why would I want to go home? Everybody is so kind, I want to stay". That in itself speaks volumes. The staff, every one of them is exceptional
and cared for me as well as mum and for that, I am very grateful. Nothing was too much trouble and it came across to me that my mum was the most important person when being dealt with and that's a gift the staff have.

Review from V W (Regular Volunteer) published on 12 April 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum came to live at Stones Place on 24.3.11. As I lived across the road, I visited her almost every day. After she passed in 2013, I realised I'd made friends with residents and staff alike, so I kept visiting for I had made friends. Four years on, I still come as a volunteer. I never imagined myself
helping at a 'home' with elderly people but residents and staff are friendly, liked and very interesting. It's a 'family' where people care and where staff pull together to make things work, so the atmosphere is friendly and kind. I think the reason is because the manager is a strong leader who is kind and compassionate, always making time to stop and listen to all alike. She also has a gift for choosing the right people who care. It becomes contagious to want the best for others. Stones Place is a home where once residents settle in, they can expect to make friends and be looked after in a great home at this time of their lives. I enjoy being part of it.

Review from J O (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Stones Place reminds me of a delightful country hotel.
I have spent a month settling my mother into her new environment and drop in at all times during the day.
I have yet to witness anything less that positive energy in this home.
The staff and volunteers strive to ensure residents are happy
and their needs met. All staff take the time to chat with residents and are genuinely kind, respectful, patient, loving and helpful.
My mother us thriving in this environment has made friends with other residents and seems happy and content.
I feel this was a perfect fit for mum and I can now return to the USA feeling that my mum will be loved and well taken care of.

Review from J L (Resident) assisted by family/friend published on 22 June 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was welcomed into the home by staff and other residents and settled in quickly. I am well cared for and there is a good range of activities available. The rooms are comfortable and the dining room is always attractive with fresh flowers and linen tablecloths on each table. The food is excellent. The
staff are cheerful, friendly and helpful.

Review from Jan B (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 June 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a Stones Place resident for almost 4 years and has received a first-class standard of care during that time. The public and residential rooms are immaculately maintained, with very pleasant gardens and outside sitting areas. The staff are consistently kind and cheerful, respectful
of the dignity and individual needs and preferences of residents, and welcoming to visitors. Communication with family members is prompt and efficient, especially if there are medical concerns. Mum particularly enjoys her meals, with menu choices that appeal to her, and the Dining Room is spacious and elegant. We are so grateful that she is contented and well cared for.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.944)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.944) out of 10 for Stones Place is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.944 for Stones Place is calculated as follows: ( (169 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 4.944
  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 Stones Place is based on 15 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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4, which has been reached with 15 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.
