The Review Score of 9 (maximum of 10) for Abbeywood Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 6 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Abbeywood Care Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 4 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 4.754 for Abbeywood Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (49 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 65 Ratings = 4.754
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 4.25 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Abbeywood Care Home is based on 4 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 3.75
Target of 8 positive Reviews (40 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 4 Reviews ÷ 8 Target = 0.500
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Abbeywood Care Home has a Review Score of 9 (9.004) from 6 Reviews

Residents Christmas party.
A minibus was hired to take residents for a Christmas meal to a local venue. Staff escorted and supported the residents during the meal and encouraged a sing-a-long. On there return I asked my mum and some other residents about their outing replies were they had really enjoyed it. Making this trip worthwhile.
Outings are an important aspect of socialising and personal interaction.
Thank you to all staff for keeping my mum and all residents safe, warm and well fed.

Very happy with the home, all the staff are pleasant and very friendly.
Lots of patience with residents and treat them with respect.
It was a very big thing for my mother to move into the home, after being very independent in her own home, but after a few blips, she has settled in very well and seems to be quite happy and content.

My mother is well looked after and I have no problem leaving her in the capable hands of the carers. They are really quick to spot any difference in health or behaviour and get the doctor in straight away.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Doreen C (Daughter of Resident) on Thursday 16 March 2017. Relates to February 2017.
Abbeywood Care Home is with a capital 'C'. My mother has been a resident since January 2015. From the start of her time, she has been looked after extremely well. The home has a doctor from the local health centre who attends the home every Monday and is in contact with families if and when required. She rang me to discuss my mother's needs a few days after she arrived at Abbeywood Care Home. The team are wonderful, the residents get plenty of entertainment and stimulation. Entertainers visits, sing songs and playing games. Some able-bodied residents are taken out on trips. The CHRISTMAS PARTY is AMAZING. And when asked how she feels about living at Abbeywood Care Home, my mother says CONTENT (what a fabulous word) 'CONTENT' - another capital 'C'.

I cannot praise the staff at Abbeywood enough for the care they give to my mother. They have given her a new lease of life since she has lived there. Whenever I visit there is always some sort of activity taking place and all the residents are enjoying themselves. The staff will always have a chat to me and let me know how mum is doing and if there are any problems. My sister and I know she is in safe hands.
