The Review Score of 9.4 (maximum of 10) for The Rookery Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 6 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for The Rookery Care Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5 out of 5 from 6 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.389 for The Rookery Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (33 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.389
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Rookery Care Home is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 6 positive Reviews (30 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 6 Reviews ÷ 6 Target = 1.000
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by J L (Daughter of Resident) on Tuesday 1 May 2018. Relates to March 2018.
My father stayed for six weeks respite care following a hospitalisation for a similar time period. The home and all its staff were wonderful in getting him back on his feet, building up his strength and keeping him motivated. The staff were all wonderful and really did care for him like one of their own family. I would really recommend it.

I have had no regrets about my mother being in The Rookery. She is looked after very well with plenty of care and attention. The management and staff are excellent and always available to me if I have anything I need to know.

My father has been a resident at The Rookery for just over a year. Whenever we visit my father, he is always clean, fed and comfortable. He likes all the carers and never really complains about anything and always eats everything he's given.

My brother has been a resident in this care home for a year now. Has settled in very well, the staff are very friendly and understand his needs as he has learning difficulties. It is like home from home.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Ray G (Husband of Resident) on Friday 21 July 2017. Relates to July 2017.
The problem I find is the front and rear gardens - they could do with a makeover. This would possibly give the ambulant residents the encouragement to sit outside in good summer weather and also give the non-ambulant residents the opportunity to just look at the plants and flowers from their outside seating.
