The Review Score of 9.7 (maximum of 10) for Rosemary 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 10 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Rosemary Care Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5 out of 5 from 5 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 4.725 for Rosemary Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (88 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.725
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 Rosemary Care Home is based on 5 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 4.8 positive Reviews (24 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 5 Reviews ÷ 4.8 Target Reached = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

My mother had excellent care during the four years she lived at the Rosemary. The staff were mostly local, which added greatly to her settling in and her sense of familiarity. They continued to be patient and kind, dealing sympathetically with her dementia and sometimes challenging behaviour, especially during her final days. Living some distance away, it was a great relief for me to know she was in such good hands.

Our mother recently passed away in Rosemary after living there for 2 years. We could not fault the care she was given, nothing was too much trouble for the staff - and they anticipated her needs and always were proactive in ensuring they met them. Health professionals were immediately called in as needed - and mum was always treated as an individual and with respect. Mum enjoyed the food, the company - and especially the humour of the young man who works there as a carer. We could always relax that she was safe and being looked after. The sensitivity and compassion the staff showed the family at the end were amazing - they too were tearful at our loss - and we will be eternally grateful to them for their love and attention.

Thank you for your kind words, mum was very dear to us as you all were and she will be sadly missed. The staff are so grateful for such lovely words and we hope to see you all again
Review submitted from a Postal Card by Michael M (Son of Resident) on Tuesday 17 January 2017. Relates to January 2017.
Care provided for my mum by all staff at Rosemary Care Home was second to none. Mum batted with vascular dementia for some time before being admitted in May 2016. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the friendliness and caring attitude of staff and carers. Carers had to cope with many situations but managed it extremely well.
The home was spotlessly clean. These guys have a much needed sense of humour and always brought a smile to mum's face. Dementia took its toll on 5/12/16 just after we had visited. One carer stayed with mum right until the end. This meant the world to us.We can't thank her enough. I speak for my whole family in saying thank you to all staff at Rosemary Care Home.

Thank you for your kind words, it was a pleasure to look after your mum in the home and she really was part of the family as you all were.

My dad moved into Rosemary care home in January 2015. To this date, I have not had any concerns of cause to complain in the way he is treated and cared for. The staff are all great and very friendly and give my dad respect even when his behaviour is at its most challenging. The home is clean and 'homely' and the staff are always busy with residents, either physically caring for them or sat with them, chatting and giving them emotional and social support. I visit most days therefore see the different staff regularly and on different shifts. Very happy with the home!

Thank you for the review it means a lot to us that our residents and familes are happy! The staff will be thrilled when I show them the review
Review submitted from a Postal Card by Susan (Daughter of Resident) on Wednesday 9 December 2015. Relates to November 2015.
My father resided in Rosemary for respite care in September 2015. It soon became clear that he needed full time care and a decision was made that he would move to a care setting. After my experience of my father's care at Rosemary I wanted this home to be his permanent residence. The staff are welcoming, friendly and 'in tune' with the residents. I have not had any issues with the care my father was provided and the home is always clean and warm. I have seen a high level of dignity care given and the staff are always willing to help with my father's needs and support him as much as he needs. The home liaises well with me.
