Latest Care Quality Commission* Report on Ecclesholme: click here
* Care Quality Commission is responsible for the registration and inspection of social care services in England.
The Review Score of 9.7 (maximum of 10) for Ecclesholme 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 12 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Ecclesholme in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5 out of 5 from 11 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 4.715 for Ecclesholme is calculated as follows: ( (111 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.715
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 Ecclesholme is based on 11 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 10 positive Reviews (50 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 11 Reviews ÷ 10 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.
Ecclesholme has a Review Score of 9.7 (9.715) from 12 Reviews

We have had so much support from everyone in the home.
They have made us so welcome and explained everything that was happening to us.
My mum got very poorly and they did everything they could to make her comfortable.
You have a great home and great staff, they are a credit to your company.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Beverly L (Daughter of Resident) on Monday 17 July 2017. Relates to June 2017.
My mother has been in my care for the last 47 years.
When it became apparent her needs were more than I could manage myself, it was with great sadness I had to look for permanent care for her.
That is when my mother became a resident at Ecclesholme.
I visit her every day, at all different times.
I am welcomed by all the staff who are each and every one exceptional.
I have been there at meal times, the food is prepared fresh in house and is balanced and nutritious.
The mental stimulation is also excellent, music, outings, games and just giving time to chat on a personal level.
What was initially a sad event, is now one of happy contentment for us.

Ecclesholme is a very friendly well-organised care home. The staff (I have met lots of them) are all very friendly regardless of my dad's mood! If they don't know anything when I've asked they find out, nothing is too much trouble. I have seen several other care homes in Great Manchester area with my in-laws being residents, this is by far the best I have seen.

Before my mother was admitted into this home we looked at several others. Ecclesholme was by far the best.
Since my mother has been here we have come to realise Ecclesholme is even better that we thought.
We have nothing but praise for Ecclesholme and no complaints.

My mother has received very good care and attention during her period in the home.
The staff and management are caring and accessible, responding promptly to any queries/complaints.
The home has a wide variety of activities which my mum seems to enjoy.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Philippa W (Wife of Resident) on Tuesday 23 May 2017. Relates to May 2017.
My husband has been in Ecclesholme since November 2016 and I have found the care he has received there to be excellent.
The food is always appetising and any resident who struggles to eat is assisted and special diets are catered for. The home is spacious and has several lounges and seating areas so residents can wander at will in safety.
There are numerous activities, especially music based, and residents who can participate are encouraged to do so.
What I like most is that care is shown by all staff members including the catering and cleaning staff. The home has a great atmosphere among its staff which translates well into the care of all residents.
The only negative is that the decor is a little tired, but as the residents are oblivious to this it is not as important as the care residents receive.

Ecclesholme is the absolute epitome of what a care home should be, the care is given with love and preserves the dignity of the resident. The staff are regularly updated by the courses and are efficient and courteous. The environment is homely and kept scrupulously clean, the meals are varied and delicious whilst being attractively presented. Activities are planned to keep the residents mentally and physically stimulated.

My dad was admitted to Ecclesholme only 6 weeks ago and although he has Alzheimer's disease, he has settled so well, I think mainly because the staff are so kind and caring. They encourage him to sing which he loves and the other residents sometimes join in.
I am so pleased with where I have chosen for my dad.

My mother has been a resident at Ecclesholme for the last 12 months. The staff are caring and professional. The kitchen standards are very good. However, the overall appearance of the home is dated and in need of redecoration. I feel that there is little stimulation and few activities with the exception of the excellent music therapy on a Friday.
