Review from James N (Grandson of Resident) published on 25 September 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have found my nan has been treated respectfully. Above all, they have worked hard to respect her independence and maintain her dignity.

Review from Kathleen S (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 September 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mum has been a resident at Bamford Close for five years. Mum used to go to day care there which she really enjoyed so it wasn't such a hard move for her when she had to have care at the time. There seemed to be a lot of activities going on. The food was good, staff were great over the years, the atmosphere
has changed there does not seem to be as much entertainment etc. as there used to be. I am a firm believer that music is an important way and means of connecting with the people suffering with Alzheimer's. When I take my ipad to Bamford Close and play music from the 1930/1940's the ladies seem to join in and love it. (Also hymns) There also seems to be less staff, (more agency staff) than there used to be.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.875)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.875) out of 10 for Bamford Close 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 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.875 for Bamford Close is calculated as follows: ( (323 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 368 Ratings = 4.875
  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 Bamford Close is based on 31 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 31 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.
