The Review Score of 9.7 (maximum of 10) for Shepley House 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 14 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Shepley House 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 4.675 for Shepley House is calculated as follows: ( (115 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 166 Ratings = 4.675
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 Shepley House 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 8.6 positive Reviews (43 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 11 Reviews ÷ 8.6 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.
Shepley House has a Review Score of 9.7 (9.675) from 14 Reviews

My adorable mum spent the last few months of her life at Shepley House. I visited her every day and couldn't have been happier with the excellent management and amazing carers at this home. Nothing was too much trouble. I wish I could mention names in this review because my mum was so well loved by the staff and management here. I really can't thank them enough for making my mum so comfortable, each and every staff member has a heart of gold and are so welcoming. I will continue to visit Shepley House because I've made some great friends there and it was always a pleasure to visit them and my mum. Without mentioning names I will always be eternally grateful for your warm, friendly and caring nature, not to mention the professionalism with which everyone carries out their duties. The rooms and communal areas are spotlessly clean. There is a heartwarming warmth as soon as you walk in. Every one of the staff know how happy my mum was, so once again thank you all so much you are true superstars.

Shepley House is an excellent professional and caring home.
The carers certainly deserve their name as nothing is too much trouble for both residents and visitors.
There are activities each day and also excursions which many residents seem to enjoy.
I would certainly recommend Shepley House to any other family or friends.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by D P (Son of Resident) on Wednesday 7 February 2018. Relates to February 2018.
My mum has been resident at Shepley House for the last three years. Her care during this time has been excellent, the staff are friendly and thoughtful. They deal with my mum in a professional manner and always treat her with respect. If there are any issues or concerns these are dealt with in a timely fashion by the staff and management.
The standard of food is excellent and there is always plenty of choice.
Recently an activities officer has been employed at the home. This now means that activities are arranged on a daily basis which is a very positive move. This new member of staff is full of energy and enthusiasm and does an excellent job. It was my mum’s birthday recently and a singer was brought in to entertain her and the residents. My mum loves to sing along and despite her Alzheimer’s disease, she knows all the words to the songs. The kitchen staff also baked her a cake.
My mum is happy at the home and I am also happy with the level of care she receives.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Tina G (Daughter of Resident) on Monday 29 January 2018. Relates to January 2018.
Our mother came into this care home in November 2014. She settled in well and is very happy here. This was a huge relief to her family. During this time we, her family, have witnessed some changes but more recently there was a change of manager. She has definitely brought new life and ideas to the home. An example of this is that all the resident's doors now look like proper house front doors with letterboxes. The activities in the home are often varied and run exceptionally well by a very kind and enthusiastic lady. The staff, carers and management are all very capable and excellent at coping with the challenges they face at dealing with the needs of the residents.

Excellent support from all staff who are caring. Food is excellent. My husband has been a resident for 6 months now and he is very happy and settled. The activities coordinator works very hard to provide many varied and stimulating activities including Chinese culture with Chinese New Year being celebrated.

My mother in law is happy and content in the home.
She is enjoying herself in the activities they encourage her to do.
She is eating well and seems physically fitter than she has been for a number of years.
The staff are friendly, helpful and caring and there is a good atmosphere.
The new management team seem to be making some positive improvements.
Well done and keep going!

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Janet G (Daughter of Resident) on Wednesday 6 April 2016. Relates to February 2016.
It was the first time we have used respite care for Mum. Everyone in the team were friendly and made us and Mum feel welcomed at our initial assessment.
Mum was looking forward to going into Shepley whilst we were away, and it gave us peace of mind too.
We spoke to Mum everyday and when we returned home and picked Mum up, she had said how well cared for she had been.
Thank you to all the staff. Mum is staying again in May, and she is looking forward to seeing everyone again.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Christine E (Daughter of Resident) on Monday 21 March 2016. Relates to February 2016.
The review for my mum was carried out in a very friendly caring manner. My mum has alzheimers, however, she was still included in all conversations. The social worker, assistant and the care home officer were all talking to mum which made her relaxed and she enjoyed the review. All aspects of my mum's care were explained fully to my brother and myself. After the review we left feeling confident that our mum was in a very safe and caring environment which we feel may also broaden our mum's ability for the future.

Overall, a good home for my mother. Staff are very diligent and caring in their day to day dealings with the residents. My only real concern is the lack of security on the front entrance - visitors need to be seen and told to sign in properly.
