Review from H J (Friend of Resident) published on 6 July 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have been visiting my old friend of 40 years, who is sadly in Wellcroft, Gatley, Cheshire suffering from Alzheimer's Disease since April 2017. The atmosphere created by the wonderful staff, ably managed is wonderful. The place is very clean and bright and provides entertainment and safety for the
vulnerable residents. Pictures, objects and even a mock public bar, all help the residents to relax and give reminders of previous good times. A visit is very refreshing, despite the circumstances being difficult. Well done Wellcroft.

All the staff are welcoming and friendly. they know the residents very well and their likes and dislikes.
There are frequent activities with visiting entertainers and singers which the residents enjoy. The staff keep me updated with how my mum is and if there are any changes to her needs.
Excellent

Review from Eva B (Wife of Resident) published on 9 May 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I visited numerous residential homes before deciding on Wellcroft. The living arrangements are inviting and stimulating for residents and visitors. The manager has created a home full of interest and links with normal life. The staff are considerate, kind and responsive to residents, and always prepared
to listen to visitors' comments. I feel happy in the knowledge that my husband of 58 years is receiving excellent care.

Review from Marilyn D (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 November 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the moment my mum was taken to Wellcroft as an emergency resident until her very last moments (approx 2 months) all the staff from cleaners to the manager were welcoming, caring, respectful, conscientious and showed and displayed genuine interest and concern for her best welfare. It is a great
comfort to know that she had the best and most appropriate care right until her last breath. Mum was in last stages of dementia.

Review from Janice P (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 September 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mums placement in the Home was unplanned and it all happened very quickly because of this my sister and I who do not live locally were very concerned. We had no reason to be as we were extremely impressed on our first visit to the actual building and the decor which had a very calm friendly feeling,
but mainly with the kindness and support from ALL the management and staff who put our minds at rest. We know that Mum is going to be really comfortable and cared for at this difficult time. Thanks again to the staff for all their help and advice.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.366)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.366) out of 10 for Wellcroft is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.366 for Wellcroft is calculated as follows: ( (180 Excellents x 5) + (62 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (20 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 276 Ratings = 4.366
  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 Wellcroft is based on 21 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 21 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.
