Review from Dave H (Son of Resident) published on 8 December 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
After mum was transferred to Cawood from another home, where she had had numerous falls and was generally very unhappy, she perked up straight away. The place is very clean and most of the time smells pleasant too. In the weeks since arriving, she's always clean, tidy, dressed and happy with herself.
She's been out for trips, her food intake has increased and overall she is as happy as can be. Staff are polite and helpful.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From first contact, enquiring about vacancies at Cawood House to settling my mother in, the service has been efficient, friendly, reassuring and very helpful. excellent liaison between family, professionals and services was provided. The care home is light, bright and welcoming. Rooms are comfortable.
Staff are friendly and efficient. The grounds are well maintained and provide a calm outdoor area for residents to use. Furniture is user friendly, there are lots of sitting areas so that residents can choose according to their needs. We are very happy that mother has been allocated a place here.

My mum moved here from another care home, it's a lovely friendly home. Staff are very helpful and mum seems to be settling fine; rooms have vinyl on the floor which is 100% better than carpet and it's clean. Could do with this in the passageways, but apart from that happy with the home and care.

My mum seems to of settled in well, the staff are friendly and helpful. The home is clean and homely, needs vinyl flooring in passageways but apart from that I can't fault the home and I think my mum will enjoy living here.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother is suffering from dementia so does not still have the ability to engage in conversations or activities such as reading, knitting, sewing, TV etc. She has all her other needs very well catered for by caring and generally cheerful staff who I feel i can approach with any concerns which may arise.
They all seem to know mum and are tolerant of her condition. We are encouraged to pop in at any time. She has been in the home for 15 months now and it has given her family peace of mind after suffering a torrid time when trying to care for her in her own home.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.880)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.880) out of 10 for Cawood House 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.880 for Cawood House is calculated as follows: ( (229 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 259 Ratings = 4.88
  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 Cawood House is based on 22 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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4, which has been reached with 22 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.
